Sunday, October 23, 2016, 6:30 pm
Fr. Rosica, CEO, Salt & Light Catholic Media Foundation; English Language Attaché to Holy See Press Office, will present his personal reflections on Pope Francis and our Holy Father’s vision of ministry.
Pope Francis said, at his address to the world’s priests at the Chrism Mass on Holy Thursday, March 28, 2013, “The priest who seldom goes out of himself … misses out on the best of our people, on what can stir the depths of his priestly heart. … This is precisely the reason why some priests grow dissatisfied, lose heart and become in a sense collectors of antiquities or novelties — instead of being shepherds living with ‘the smell of the sheep.’ This is what I am asking you — be shepherds with the smell of sheep.”
St. John of the Cross Church (The parish has a 5:00 p.m. Sunday evening Mass.)
5005 S Wolf Rd, Western Springs, IL 60558
Hospitality follows with hors d'oeuvres and libations
RSVP by Wednesday, Oct. 19 (so we know how many to prepare hospitality for)
