IC hosted a Quigley Scholars Awareness Event last Sunday May 20th, which provided information on the Archdiocese of Chicago’s high school discernment program for young men interested in the call of the priesthood. This program meets once a month at either St. Joseph College Seminary or Mundelein Seminary between September and April. The program provides $2,500 scholarships (renewed annually) to eligible participants on a first�come basis to help students enrolled in a Catholic high school to pay their tuition. Fr. Peter Snieg, Rector and President of St. Joseph's Seminary and Father Robert were available to answer questions. In attendance were Ed Niewinski from Notre Dame, Daniel O’Keefe from Northridge Prep, along with his Parents Jim and Melissa O’Keefe.

LIVE THE LITURGY �INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK�

�The love relationship that exists among the Persons of the Holy Trinity is both intense and intimate. As beauti-ful as this teaching is, it demonstrates how human lan-guage really pales in trying to capture the essence of God. The Father brings us to the creative, powerful, yet gently meticulous part of God who has brought mountains and hills into being, as well as each of his children. Still the Father is more than this. The Son demonstrates the unconditional love of God filled with endless mercy and compassion. This love really under-stands the journey of the marginalized and the poor and has no use for created powers and structures that alienate and hurt people. But the Son is even more than this. The Holy Spirit is the breath of God who teaches wisdom and brings understanding, who gov-erns the seasons and discerns the thoughts of human hearts. Yet the Holy Spirit is still more than this. We worship a God who is beyond and also intimately bonded to all that he has made, without whom nothing could be sustained in being. Praise the Holy Trinity! �

Everyday Stewardship�

�

�

My wife and I have used the same baptismal gown for all 3 of our children. It is a very long traditional gown made with fabric taken from my wife's first communion dress and my mother�in�law's wedding gown. It is a symbol not just of each child being washed clean by the sacrament, but also of family and how faith has been passed down through generations. Faith is a gift and that gown shows how this family has taken seriously the cultivation of that faith and the sharing of it with those we love the most.��

By our baptism we are called to a discipleship that com-pels us to share our faith with others. It is not always easy, but it would be wrong to horde that faith and not let it shine for others to see. When we think about a stew-ardship way of life, we sometimes focus on material goods, our talents and skills, or our time. But faith is a gift that needs to be treated in a similar way. We are heirs with Jesus Christ to this rich tapestry of faith and the Church. If all of us were to hide that faith and not seek to share it with others, that lineage would end with us.��

We live during a time in history where in some lands people are finding Jesus in huge numbers, while in other places the numbers of people in the pews is declining sharply. We can spend all our time talking about these realities or we can choose to respond to our baptismal call. Jesus commanded us to go forth and make disci-ples of all nations. Maybe we can begin with our neigh-bor.��
