Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, In the January issue of Christ is our Hope magazine, Bishop Daniel Conlon wrote an article entitled, Working Together. In his article, the Bishop asked us to begin a process of greater collaboration among our parishes. This request came as a result of the statistical data shared with the priests at the Convocation in October. In June of this year, 20 of the 88 Diocesan priests who are currently pastors will be over the age of 70 and eligible for retirement. There are four priests over the age of 80 currently serving as pastors. In the Diocese of Joliet, there are 121 parishes and 8 missions. These communities are staffed by both diocesan and religious order priests. The Resurrection Fathers in recent years have taken over the sponsorship of four parishes. Regretfully, the Carmelite Fathers in June 2013 gave up staffing one of our parishes. Thankfully, the retired priests of our Diocese graciously assist us in countless ways. The ministry of deacons and hundreds of laity also help our communities to thrive and grow. At the present time, there are 34 men in the seminary in preparation for ordination. Although this may seem to be a large number, there are not enough men preparing for the priesthood to fill all the needed positions. Please continue to pray for more vocations to the priesthood in our Diocese. In our Deanery, Eastern DuPage, there are 16 parish communities and one Eastern Rite Parish Church. There was a time when nearly 40 priests staffed these churches. In June of this year, there will be 17 priests in these 16 parish communities. As a result of this situation, the need for collaboration is most necessary. The Bishop has asked us how we can work together as parish communities to share our resources, especially starting with personnel and programs and coordinating mass and confession schedules. This process is not aimed at closing parishes, nor is it trying to take away the identities that parishes possess. Rather, it is focused upon the better use of our blessings and to help us become stronger by working together. We are more than individual communities, but are all part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Joliet. In the Fall of this year, all of our parishes, including staffs and leadership, filled out parish profiles. This information was put in a summary form to help identify some of the common issues. Likewise in October, counts of mass attendance were done over 3-4 weekends in all of our parishes. This data has been very helpful towards looking at the future. On March 13, 40 priests, deacons and parishioners from our Deanery gathered to discuss these topics. All were asked to reflect upon what is currently happening within our Deanery to support collaborative efforts. Likewise, the group discussed what else could be done to advance more collaboration amongst us. A discussion also took place regarding the responsibilities restricted to priests. Also, discussion took place regarding how others might lend support to some of those things with which they might be able to assist our priests. The fruits of this evening led towards the conclusion that a core committee needed to be established to help move these topics forward. The core committee will help to examine areas in which we can continue to collaborate as well as those where collaboration should begin. It will serve as a vehicle to respond to the Bishops article that asks us to work together. In doing so, we will not only lend support to one another, but also strengthen our Catholic Church. Please pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit upon these efforts. In future articles we will keep you informed of upcoming progress toward greater collaboration.

As we move into the Easter season, here are few lines from the Divine Comedy for your consideration and prayer. Virgil describes how the purified soul opens to the love of God. May this be your experience this Easter that the victory won for us by Christ might be this kind of an experience love and joy. The more love we find, the more we give. Also, may our souls resonate together as we support one another in our common mission of Catholic education in the Diocese of Joliet. The love of God, unutterable and perfect, flows into a pure soul the way that light rushes into a transparent object. The more love that it finds, the more it gives itself so that, as we grow clear and open, the more complete the joy of heaven is. And the more souls who resonate together, the greater intensity of their love, and, mirror-like, each soul reflects the other. Dante Alighieri, Purgatorio Wishing you every blessing and grace this Easter, Father Belmonte, SJ Rev. John Belmonte, S.J., Ph.D. Superintendent of Catholic Schools Diocese of Joliet

Year of Grace 2013-2014 Change versus Transition An Initiative of the Transitions Committee
Page 9
When we received the announcement that Father Jeff Stoneberg will become our pastor in June, we all began preparing for the upcoming changes in our parish. Many thoughts and emotions are occurring within each of us. At times like these we look for the right words to explain exactly what we are thinking and what we are feeling. To understand all of what is happening, we must realize that change is an event that is situational and external to us. Change is an event or situation that is different from what has occurred before and it happens quickly. We received the announcement from the Bishop that Father Peter will be transferred and Father Jeff will be arriving. This is change! After we were notified of the change we moved into transition, which is how we make change work. Transition is the internal, psychological reorientation that occurs within us. Change happens quickly but transition takes place long term. According to Dr. William Bridges, the author of Transitions, we move through three phases. Dr. Bridges describes the three phases of transition to be Endings, the Neutral Zone and New Beginnings. 1. Endings. In this initial phase of transition we let go. We disengage from what was and what we know. We need to make a clean break with the past. In our case, we say our good-byes to Father Peter and wish him well to bring closure to his departure. The parish will host events and activities are being planned throughout the parish to express our appreciation of his service in the past, while recognizing that he will no longer be our pastor but will become the pastor to another parish. This gives us the chance to step back and look at the path we have followed and understand it. Letting go is a natural process that many of us experience throughout our lifetime in a variety of situations, including the loss of a loved one, a job, or completion of a major project. 2. The Neutral Zone. In the second phase of transition we sometimes feel lost or confused. We may not have a sense of direction and may feel somewhat uncomfortable. The change has occurred and we cannot go back to the Ending phase. We need to move on. It is a time to meet our new pastor, build new relationships, and think things over. This phase is called the neutral zone when we reflect on the past and look ahead to new possibilities. Very gradually we enter into the final phase of transition. The length of time that we spend in the neutral zone may vary for each of us, but hopefully it will take us less than the 40 years Moses spent in the neutral zone while wandering in the wilderness! 3. New Beginnings. At last we accept the new reality and become more familiar with what will be than what was. In the new beginnings phase we become familiar with a new reality and begin to identify with the new situation. We will become more familiar with Father Jeff and how things are being done under his leadership. At times we may even forget how we used to do things. Each of us is opening a new chapter of our personal journey and will proceed down a new path. Change is an event that occurs and Transition is a personal journey. Each one of us goes through all three phases and we go through them at our own rate. We go through each of these phases every time there is a major change in our lives such as getting married, starting a new job, birth of a baby, graduation from high school, retirement, or going from Kindergarten to first grade. Be open to the new information that we will receive in our parish and take the time to accept change. Anna Weselak Past Chair of the Parish Council Consultant of Personal and Organizational Development Information in this article was taken from Transitions by Dr. William Bridges.
