July 27, 2021 Dear Parishioners of Saint Petronille, Sparkfest – August 6th I don’t know about you all, but Fr. Jesus and I will be rockin’ and rollin’ all night long…well…maybe not all night at Sparkfest beginning at 6 pm until 10 pm in the North parking lot. Please join us for food, drink and live music. The entrance fee is $20 per adult and $40 for a family. Go to our webpage to buy tickets at www.stpetschurch.org. What makes a Christian, Christian? Is it helping the sick and poor? Is it following a particular moral code? Well…our Lord makes it pretty clear in this Sunday’s Gospel: “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.” Yes. Christians are called to love all no matter who they are. Yes. A Christian is called to sacrifice themselves in loving the poor and the sick. Yes. A Christian follows a moral code. However, a Christian does these things not because someone else determined these to be the right thing to do. A Christian does them because they love the Lord. His Grace has changed their lives and now their lives are completely oriented toward the Lord. The moral code a Christian follows is not something subjective that he or she feels might be right…or the latest fad on Facebook or even the view of their political party. A Christian determines their moral code by the objective teaching of the God who created them…the code that their Creator placed in their very being, their nature. A Christian knows that a thing is good, because God made it good. A Christian knows it is evil, because it destroys the good God has created. This does not depend on me…it depends on a person, three persons really, who are far greater than anything I can imagine. What is more amazing is that this God of ours has shown us the path to sharing this very greatness, His greatness; however, we won’t get there alone and we won’t get there by our own devices. Our Lord, in our Gospel reading this Sunday, identifies Himself as the Bread of Life. The Bread of Life we receive each and every Sunday at the altar in the Eucharist. In the end…with all of our worries…with all that we have been through and all that concerns us about the future…He is still there waiting for you to discover Him…to love Him…this is your work…to believe in the one the Father in heaven sent. May Almighty God bless you and keep you. Prayers. In Christ, Fr. Milota

“’Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.’” John 6:53 Let’s “sit beside” Jesus and listen to Him explain the Eucharist to us in His Words. Please join us at 9:30-11am on Monday mornings (in-person only), We will prayerfully listen, read and reflect on the Sunday Gospel from John 6 on the Bread of Life Discourse. You are welcome to come every Monday, or if you can only attend once, come and visit us. Please bring your Bible and a friend. “The Eucharist is Jesus: not a something, but a someone.” (Dr. Brant Pitre; CCC 1324) “So I reply to you, it was not the body of Christ before consecration; but after consecration, I tell you, it is now the body of Christ. He spoke, and it was made; He commanded, and it was created.” ____________________________________________________________________________________
We currently have openings in the following areas:
If you enjoy working with children and would like the opportunity to work in partnership with parents and staff in a family atmosphere to lay the foundation to develop life long-learners, then we would enjoy talking with you about the opportunities St. Petronille has to offer. Please contact Principal Maureen Aspell at aspellm@stpetschool.org or 630-469-5041 ext. 3101. ________________________________________________________________________________________ One of the single easiest ways for our parish to help those in need is by keeping a steady supply of gift cards available for things such as groceries, gas, and other daily needs.
The current supply of gift cards I have available is very low at this time. If you could prayerfully consider donating gift cards, it will allow us to better serve the needs of the community.
Gift cards most needed: Aldi, Speedway, Bucky’s, or BP gas station, Jewel, Walgreens, and McDonald’s.
Thank you for your consideration.

Consecration to St. Joseph: A weekly group will gather at St. Petronille Parish With the exception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph is our most powerful intercessor in heaven due to his singular role as Head and Protector of the Holy Family. In 1870, Pope Pius IX proclaimed St. Joseph the patron of the Universal Church. According to Catholic tradition, Joseph died in the “arms of Jesus and Mary”. He is considered to be a model of the pious believer who receives grace at the moment of death; in other words, St. Joseph is the patron saint of a happy death. In addition, St. Joseph is most well-known as the patron saint of fathers, families, and workers. Now, the Year of St. Joseph as proclaimed by Pope Francis, is the perfect time to consecrate ourselves to St. Joseph. Here’s what the Consecration to St. Joseph will look like here at St. Petronille:
