Dear Friends in Christ,

Today is Catechetical Sunday, a day in which we bless and thank God for the
men and women from the parish who have answered the call to teach the young
and old about our Catholic faith. A catechist is a faith filled person that loves chil-
dren and desires to “echo” God’s great love to them. We are in need of cate-
chists on both Sunday morning and Wednesday evening to co-teach with other
faith filled men and women.
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is the process in which men and women wishing to be in full com-
munion with the Catholic Church come together to break open the Word and begin Sacrament prepara-
tion with their sponsors and catechetical team. If you, or someone you know, is interested in becoming a
full member of the Catholic Church please call the rectory.

Yours in Christ,

Eileen Maggiore, Pastoral Associate

Parish Pastoral Council
The purpose of this Council shall be to foster
pastoral activity in Christ the King Parish ac-
cording to the norms of Church law, the di-
rectives of the Bishop of Joliet, and the
needs of the parishioners of Christ the King
Church. The Council advises and makes
recommendations to the Pastor. In this re-
gard, the Pastoral Council provides a forum
for addressing three aspects of parish life:
(1) Communication and coordination among
the various parish groups and activities;
(2) Consultation between the pastoral staff
and the various parish organizations;
and
(3) Long-term strategic planning and policy
direction for the parish as a whole.
In order to fulfill this threefold mission, the
Parish functions in three overlapping and
synchronized areas:
1. Ministry: Individual parish groups and
other related organizations engage in pas-
toral activity for their members and the
whole parish, in accord with the nature of
their ministry or service;
2. Commissions: The commissions coordi-
nate pastoral activity in their areas of min-
istry. A special at-large commission or core
teams may be developed that will service
multifaceted tasks as the needs are defined
by the Council on an annual basis;
3. Council: The Pastoral Council fosters pas-
toral activity in the parish as a whole, with an
emphasis on long-term goals and strategic
planning, rather than the day-to-day opera-
tion of the parish and its ministries.
We are currently looking for active parishion-
ers that would like to be a part of our parish
leadership team. Our next Leadership eve-
ning will be on Monday, October 5, 2009 at
7:00 p.m. in the Parish Life Center. If you
would like more information please call Ei-
leen at 630.396.6076.
September 20, 2009
Spiritual Corner
Deacon Peter Robinson
This is the month we celebrate the feast of “Our Lady of Sor-
rows”: September 15th. This solemn feast was not always cele-
brated world wide, and not always in September. Originally,
this day was named the feast of The Seven Sorrows (dolors) of
Our Blessed Mother. The title represents the spiritual martyring
of our Blessed Mother Mary, as she stood at the foot of the
Cross.
The seven sorrows or dolor’s are:
1)The prophecy of Simeon,
2) The flight into Egypt,
3) The loss of the Child Jesus at Jerusalem,
4) Meeting Jesus on the road to Calvary,
5) The standing at the foot of the Cross,
6) The descent of Jesus from the Cross, and
7) The burial of Jesus.
As with we do with Christ, we use the experiences of Mary to
better understand the world we live in, and the things that hap-
pen. We also learn more about our relationship with God.
In the first dolor, Simeon tells Mary that her heart will be
pierced with a sword. This reminds us that she not only suf-
fered as the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. Whereas her
heart was pierced by the suffering and death of her son, it is
also pierced with the sins we all commit and our occasional
indifference to her Son.
In the Second dolor, worried sick when they couldn’t find Jesus
in the caravan Mary and Joseph went back to Jerusalem only
to find Him in the Temple with His Father. Mary searches for
us too when, unlike Jesus, we stray from the path of righteous-
ness.
The fourth dolor, Mary sees Jesus on the way to the Cross.
How she must have felt, knowing that this would be one of the
last times she sees him alive. She looks at us too with those
same loving eyes, praying that we see her son as our savior, so
we may live.
The last three dolars are the most painful yet the most glorious;
Mary standing at the foot of the Cross. Gazing at her child tor-
tured and dying at the hands of all of us, her children. She suf-
fers beyond our imagination. But the opportunity for our re-
demption is at hand. As she cradles his body in her lap, she
prays for us, the very people who committed this act. Placing
him in the tomb, she waits for His resurrection, as do we all wait
for His return. Mary, Our Blessed Mother, The Most Blessed
Virgin, the Coredemptrix, waits for all of us to turn to her Son,
our Lord, Jesus Christ. When we do, there will be no more sor-
row but eternal life.
Brother Knights, let us continue to ask the intercession of our
Most Blessed Mother, through the Rosary and our prayers. May
you have a Blessed September.

Joyful Again! Widowed Ministry
On Sunday, September 20th, Christ the King will host
Joyful Again! volunteers at their annual “thank you” gath-
ering. Their day will begin with joining our community for
12:00 p.m. Mass. These volunteers have at least one
thing in common; they have all been widowed, and they
have come back to the organization to serve newly wid-
owed people who come to the weekend program. Joyful
Again! was founded over 20 years ago when a few wid-
owed people got together to plan a format for the Satur-
day and Sunday program. Since then, thousands of wid-
owed men and women have gone through the weekend
retreat/workshop seeking to restore a sense of hope and
joy in their lives.
for 40 Days for Life
Dear Christ the King Parishioners,
Christians throughout Lombard and the surrounding
communities are invited to take part in the national 40
Days for Life effort from September 23 through Novem-
ber 1, 2009. In addition to 40 days of peaceful prayer
and fasting for an end to abortion, please consider volun-
teering to pray outside of the Aanchor Health Center at
1186 Roosevelt Road, Glen Ellyn, just east of the House
of Brides. Please help spread the word to others about
this important life-saving effort. Please call Fr Peter at
630.396.6079, or email at frpeter@ctklombard.org to
volunteer your time.
Thank you in advance for your prayers and participation.
We have also been invited to join our neighboring parish,
St. James the Apostle in Glen Ellyn for a Holy Hour for
Life beginning at 5:30 p.m. at their church, 480 S. Park
Blvd., on October 1st, ending with Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament at 6:30 p.m. as a special time of
prayer for this effort. We will adjourn to the parish hall
for a pro-life speaker followed by coffee, dessert and
conversation. We are very grateful to Madalene Can-
nata for helping in the organization of this 40 Days for
Life prayer vigil. More information is available at
www.40daysforlife.com/glenellyn.

Often a widowed person will reach a sort of “plateau” in

the grieving process, where he/she feels sort of “stuck”
and cannot move on. This is an excellent opportunity for
the person to register for the weekend. Programs are
held throughout the Chicagoland area in both the dio-
ceses of Chicago and Joliet, northwest, southwest and in
the west suburban area in Elmhurst.

Christ the King parish welcomes the volunteers of Joyful

Again! Widowed Ministry. For more information, please
call 708-354-7211.

Natural Family Planning (NFP) Classes

NFP is an umbrella term for certain methods used to
achieve and avoid pregnancies. These methods are
based on observation of the naturally occurring signs and
symptoms of the fertile and infertile phases of a woman's
menstrual cycle. No drugs, devices, or surgical proce-
dures are used to avoid pregnancy.
NFP reflects the dignity of the human person within the
context of marriage and family life, promotes openness to
life, and recognizes the value of the child. By respecting
the love-giving and life-giving natures of marriage, NFP
can enrich the bond between husband and wife.
CCW TO SPONSOR “UNDY SUNDAY”

including men’s XL and XXL. Children’s pajamas and

The Administration Commission of Christ the King Parish announces an opportunity to have your name included in a
new space being created for reflection around the Ten Commandments monument. We are offering commemorative
paving bricks, engraved with your name, or those of your family and friends, or a place for a message from you to pre-
sent and future generations.

The paving bricks will surround the Ten Commandment monument shown in the above picture. Your tax deductible
contribution towards the project will benefit our parish in many ways:

• Create an additional, appropriate space for reflection and prayer, near the statue of
Mary, the rose garden, and the new monument.
• Assist the Administration Committee in its mission regarding the repair, maintenance
and improvement of our buildings and campus.

The net proceeds from this project will be used to:

• Pay some of the expenses related to our Parish’s 50th anniversary events and celebrations.
• Reduce energy consumption, by changing the present school lighting to more efficient light fixtures.
• Help fund any other Commission projects, as announced in the Parish Bulletin.
• Make an extraordinary payment towards reducing the Parish mortgage balance.
The engraved paving bricks will be offered in three sizes:
4” x 8” with a maximum of three engraved lines
8” x 8” with a maximum of six engraved lines
12” x 12” with a maximum of 9 engraved lines

You can also include, at no extra charge, a logo design, from a selected list of those available from the manufacturer.
However, be aware that most logos take the space of 3 characters on two lines. The list of logos which are available
will be at the information table, in the vestibule of the church most weekends.

We will also have this information, and the order form, available on-line, at the Parish’s web-site: http://
www.CTKLombard.org. You can down load the order form there. You may also e-mail your order request to the Ad-
ministration committee at Admin@CTKLombard.org. We ask that if you do e-mail an order, that it is only for bricks
without logos.

It is currently anticipated that the bricks will be installed, in April, 2010, and the new space dedicated in May, 2010.

Any questions can be emailed to the Administration Commission: admin@ctklombard.org; or directed to a commission
member (if present) after any weekend Mass.

Finance Council August Meeting Minutes

The Finance Council met on the evening of August 12th. Elaine Ward, Lori Bhardwaj, Rick Cosenza, Brian Carnahan,
Eileen Maggiore, and Jill Placey were in attendance. Minutes from the previous meeting were unanimously approved.
White envelope contributions closed the fiscal year with a yearly total of approximately $691K. This is much lower than
the previous fiscal year’s total of around $760. Green envelope giving was down nearly 20% this fiscal year, and June
was the lowest monthly total we’ve ever experienced. We discussed ways to increase contributions and the best way to
communicate this need. At the time of the meeting, the Early Learning Academy had 21 full-time equivalent students
registered. Kindergarten classes started on August 24th and Preschool on September 9th. A separate meeting was
scheduled for August 27th to discuss the upcoming Annual Appeal. The next Finance meeting will take place on Sep-
tember 16th.

2009-10 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal

Diocese of Joliet
The Catholic Ministries Appeal supports God’s work all over this diocese. The parish does
not always have the resources to help parishioners, so the diocese supplements us with
ways we can help people help themselves. We would like 100% participation.

We are still far from the goal. Let’s try to do our best!
Goal: $58,150
Fr. Jarosz Pledges: $35,217
