D ear friends in Sacred Heart: September is a very traditional month in Mexico, not only for the celebration of the Independence but also for the food and the colours you can see on the streets in every city. Unfortunately the violence from the cartel and the inefficiency from the civil authorities are making a deep and terrible time of insecurity and fear in many cities in Mexico. I pray J.S. Paluch Co., Inc. to the Lord that this time of insecurity can come to an end soon so the peace can come back to the streets and we can enjoy all the beautiful places Mexico has to offer to the world. This month we will celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Charity, pontifically designated by Pope Benedict XV as Patroness of Cuba. I thought it would be interesting to know a little bit more about her so I did a little research for you. I hope you enjoy it. The history of the La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, began around 1612. The image is thought to have been brought by Spanish colonists from the town of Illescas, a province in Toledo, Spain where a similar image of the Virgin Mary of Charity is already well-venerated. Local legend recalls the Spanish captains who bring with them religious Marian images to guide and protect them from English pirates at sea. Two Native American or Indian brothers, Rodrigo and Juan de Hoyos, and an African slave child, Juan Moreno, set out to the Bay of Nipe for salt. They are traditionally given the moniker the "three Juans". They needed the salt for the preservation of meat at the Barajagua slaughter house, which supplied the workers and inhabitants of Santiago del Prado, now known as El Cobre. While out in the bay, a storm arose, rocking their tiny boat violently with ongoing waves. Juan, the slave, was wearing a medal with the image of the Virgin Mary. The three men began to pray for her protection. Suddenly, the skies cleared, and the storm was gone. In the distance, they saw a strange object floating in the water. They rowed towards it as the waves brought it towards them. At first they mistook it for a bird, but quickly saw that it was what seemed to be a statue of a girl. At last they were able to determine that it was a statue of the Virgin Mary holding the child Jesus on her left arm and holding a gold cross in her right hand. The statue was fastened to a board with an inscription saying "Yo Soy la Virgen de la Caridad" or "I am the Virgin of Charity." Much to their surprise, the statue remained completely dry while afloat in the water. This story is fascinating and She is a sign of love and presence of the Virgin Mary for our brothers and sisters from Cuba; with all that said, we will have a liturgical celebration in honour of La Virgen del Cobre on Sunday September 13 th, at 4 pm. Please feel free to join us in the Mass and you are also invited to pray together the Triduum on the 8 th, 9 th, and 10 th of this month at 5 pm in the Church. I keep inviting you to become a new minister in Sacred Heart, our sessions have just begun on Wednesdays at 7 pm in Marian Hall, so there is still is time to join us! After 6 years in Sacred Heart, we have received the notification that Fr. Benedict is ending his studies and the collaboration with the Archdiocese of Chicago. September will be the last month of Fr. Benedict being in Sacred Heart; we are planning a farewell reception for him on September 27 th at 10 am in Marian Hall. We thank Fr. Benedict for his presence and help to Sacred Heart all these years and we wish him a big success in his future assignments. I am really sure our community will miss his homilies. God Bless you Fr. Benedict. Peace to all. Fr. Francisco Ortega Administrator FEAR NOT... In these times, there is plenty to be afraid of, if we only look around. It seems that every day the news media have yet more bad news to tell: wars, disease, terrorism, drought, social unrest, and more. Some people have stopped using clock radios to wake up in the morning, preferring a jarring buzzer to the even more jarring morning news. What more do we need before we realize that we are finite creatures, and while there is much we can do to make our world better, ultimately there is a lot that is simply not within our grasp? To this our loving God says, Be strong, fear not! We must do what we can to make our world a better and safer place, but we must also realize our limits and that our ultimate safety is in the hands of God. We can be comforted by the realization that God loves us beyond measure, and will give us every help in our efforts to make our world a loving and safe place for everyone. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Christian Stewardship provides a spirituality that you can take home from church, exercise at work, and express through personal involvement in the community and church. Stewardship is not job-oriented or project minded. It is a way of life for a lifetime. Christian Stewardship takes a positive view on money. It sees money not only as a medium of exchange, but as a symbol of a person who has it. The way we acquire it, use it, and share it, we are revealed in those actions. Christian Stewardship trains us to become aware that God is the ultimate giver of the gifts we have. To give to God should be from the top - not from what may be left over.

Q ueridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo: Septiembre es un mes muy tradicional en México, no sólo para la celebración de la Independencia, sino también por la comida y los colores se pueden ver en las calles de todas las ciudades. Por desgracia, la violencia del cártel y la ineficiencia de las autoridades civiles están haciendo un tiempo terrible de inseguridad y temor en muchas ciudades de México. Ruego al Señor que este tiempo de inseguridad puede llegar a su fin pronto para que la paz pueda volver a las calles y podamos disfrutar de todos los lugares hermosos que México tiene para ofrecer al mundo. Este mes vamos a celebrar la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de la Caridad, pontificalmente designada por el Papa Benedicto XV como Patrona de Cuba. Pensé que sería interesante saber un poco más sobre ella, así que hice un poco de investigación para ustedes. Espero que lo disfruten. La historia de La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, comenzó alrededor de 1612. La imagen se cree que fue traída por los colonizadores españoles de la localidad de Illescas, provincia de Toledo, España, donde una imagen similar de la Virgen María de la Caridad es ya venerada. La leyenda local recuerda los capitanes españoles que traían consigo las imágenes religiosas marianas para orientarse y protegerse de los piratas ingleses en el mar. Dos hermanos americanos o indios nativos, Rodrigo y Juan de Hoyos, y un hijo de esclavos africanos, Juan Moreno, se dispuso a la Bahía de Nipe para recoger sal. Tradicionalmente se les da el apodo de los "tres Juanes". Necesitaban la sal para la preservación de la carne en la casa rastro Barajagua, que suministra a los trabajadores y habitantes de Santiago del Prado, ahora conocido como El Cobre. Mientras que en la bahía, se levantó una tormenta, meciendo su pequeño barco violentamente con olas en curso. Juan, el esclavo, llevaba una medalla con la imagen de la Virgen María. Los tres hombres comenzaron a orar por su protección. De repente, el cielo se despejo, y la tormenta se había ido. A lo lejos, vieron un extraño objeto que flota en el agua. Ellos remaron hacia ella como las olas los atraía a ellos. Al principio se confundieron por un pájaro, pero rápidamente se dieron cuenta de que era lo que parecía ser una estatua de una niña. Por fin se pudieron determinar que se trataba de una estatua de la Virgen María con el Niño Jesús en su brazo izquierdo y una cruz de oro en su mano derecha. La estatua fue fijada a una placa con una inscripción que dice "Yo soy la Virgen de la Caridad" o "Yo soy la Virgen de la Caridad". Para su sorpresa, la estatua permaneció completamente seca, mientras que flotaba en el agua. Esta historia es fascinante y Ella es un signo de amor y de presencia de la Virgen María para nuestros hermanos y hermanas de Cuba; dicho esto, vamos a tener una celebración litúrgica en honor de "La Virgen del Cobre", el domingo 13 de septiembre, a las 4 pm. Por favor, unase a nosotros en la masa y también les invitamos a rezar juntos el "Triduo" los días 8, 9 y 10 de este mes a las 5 pm en la Iglesia. Después de 6 años en el Sagrado Corazón, hemos recibido la notificación de que el P. Benedicto está terminando sus estudios y la colaboración con la Arquidiócesis de Chicago. Septiembre será el último mes del P. Benedicto XVI en nuestra Parroquia del Sagrado Corazón; estamos planeando una recepción de despedida para él el 27 de septiembre a las 10 am en Marian Hall. Agradecemos al P. Benedicto por su presencia y ayuda al Sagrado Corazón de todos estos años y le deseamos un gran éxito en sus futuras tareas. Estoy muy seguro que nuestra comunidad se perderá sus homilías. Dios los bendiga Padre Benedicto. Paz para todos! Fr. Francisco Ortega Administrador
