Parishioner Reopening Guide



 

Dear Parishioners, 

Your associate pastor, Fr. Pawel Komperda, is participating in the Catholic Leadership 360 Review process.

This review process is part of the ordinary structure required by the Archdiocesan Policy of every diocesan priest approximately every five years. It is an opportunity for Fr. Pawel to recognize his talents and to grow to become a better priest and pastoral minister. Selected members of the parish staff and parish leadership, your Dean, and myself will be asked to be reviewers using this instrument. 
According to Archdiocesan policies lay leadership and parishioners are to be given the opportunity to recognize Fr. Pawel’s gifts and to share their sentiments about his ministry.

So, we are providing a parish-wide survey as part of his review process. The survey can be easily accessed by going to the Archdiocese’s web page at www.archchicago.org and clicking on Offices and Ministries on the top panel.

This will bring you to an alphabetical listing of offices. Under ‘M’, select Ministerial Resources for Parishes. You will then be directed to the Ministerial Resources for Parishes webpage. In the middle of the page, you will find “Parish-wide survey review for priests”. The survey is available in English, Spanish, and Polish. Please click on the word ‘Link’ next to your appropriate language to access the survey. 

If you have any concerns or comments pertaining to Father’s review, feel free to contact me directly.

If you have any further questions or suggestions about the review process you may contact Fr. Bob Heidenreich, Coordinator of Ministerial Review and Priests Programs, by email (rheidenreich@archchicago.org) or by phone at the Priests’ Placement Office (312-534-5237). 

When the Catholic Leadership 360 Review process has been completed Fr. Pawel will be asked to share the insights he has received and his further developmental plans with you in the parish bulletin and on the parish website.
 
Thank you in advance for your willingness to participate and provide constructive information. 

Sincerely yours, 

Bishop Andrew Wypych
 

On August 12th, we raised a new flag that was presented in honor of Bob McDonough, who served in the U.S. Army.  He worked for the Chicago Fire Department.  We remember and pray for all those worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect our country.  We pray that the Lord bless them, for their unselfish service to preserve our freedom, our safety, and our country’s heritage.  The flag was donated by Chester S., whom we thank for the honor of flying his flag.

If you have a flag from a veteran’s funeral that you would like to have flown from our pole, we would be happy to accommodate you at the next available opportunity. Please call the Parish Office for details.

Dear Parishioners and Friends of Incarnation. 

Since COVID-19 hit, there have been a lot of changes to the way that Incarnation Parish operates.  

- Since March, the Holy Mass has gone online to accommodate those who cannot attend or do not feel safe.  

- In-person Masses have reduced the seating capacity and we strictly follow the safety procedures, from disinfecting the whole Church after every single Liturgy, wearing face coverings by all, to sanitizing our hands before Masses and receiving Holy Communion.  

- The Sunday collections drastically declined at the beginning of the Pandemic, but have almost returned to our average projections.

However, the second collections are still almost non-existent.  Collections such as those for our Building Maintenance Fund, Religious Education Scholarship Fund, Youth Ministry, etc. were all considered when we created our operating budget for this fiscal year.

While our First Collection is extremely important, the Parish has also relied on the second collection to help reduce the normal operating functions of our buildings and ministries.  The St. Vincent de Paul Society that helps those in need of assistance, also relied on the generosity of our community through the second collections along with those collections that we participate in for the benefit of Archdiocesan groups.

During this difficult time, I ask that you consider extending your stewardship to these causes along with the support you are providing for our Parish. This is CRUCIAL to continue our Mission/Ministry at Incarnation entrusted to us by the Lord.

I welcome those who can drop off their weekly envelopes at the Rectory’s donation box (located outside of the Parish Office door) or the donation boxes by the entrance to the Church and Adoration Chapel.

For those who cannot join us in Church, please consider mailing your weekly envelopes via US mail to the following address:

Incarnation Catholic Church
5757 W. 127th Street,
Crestwood, IL 60418-2402

I also encourage you to consider electronic giving. It’s easy to give:

Go online at:

www.faithdirect.net (our Parish Code IL912)

or text $ amount to 708.505.8432.

Together, we can make a difference and continue our Mission.  Thank you so much for your support and your prayers!

Fr. Arek Falana - Pastor






​​​​​
Holy Mary “Health of the Sick,”  You always kept Your faith firm as You stood near the Cross as Jesus suffered. You know what we need.  We are certain that You will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return after this moment of our trial.

We seek refuge under Your protection, and we trust, that You help us to conform ourselves to the will of God the Father.  Amen.

Join our YOUTH GROUP!

We are happy to share with our parish community that the long-awaited statue of St. Michael the Archangel has been completed and is on display in our church. 
 
May St. Michael the Archangel and all Saints intercede for our parish, for our Archdiocese, and the whole Church.  May their example inspire us to imitate Jesus in our own life.

We also welcomed the first-class relic of St. Faustina Kowalska to our Parish! In the specially built reliquary in our Church, you can also find the following first-class relics:

- True Cross of our Lord Jesus
- St. John of the Cross
- St. Simon Stock
- St. Germaine
- St. Maria Goretti
- St. Brother Albert Chmielowski
- St. Vincent de Paul
- Bl. Francis Xavier Seelos
- Bl. Sister Bernardyna Jablosnka

May God continue to bless our Incarnation Family, and may the Saints intercede for us.

Answering the call for the New Evangelization, all leaders and members of all ministries from Formation/Education, Spiritual Life, Parish Life and Human Concerns Commissions participated in the spiritual and evangelical renewal program “Alpha” that was adopted to the needs of Incarnation Parish and given our own name of “Journey to the Heart of the Faith.”  This faith formation in our Parish is ongoing.  We continue by offering programs to all parishioners throughout the year.  Please watch the video below:
