THE TOLTON ROOM
Since the new, large and comfortable meeting room was created in the school as one of the projects associated with our To Teach Who Christ Is capital campaign, we’ve been calling it “the new meeting room in the school”, a rather long and cumbersome name. After consultation among the members of the Parish Pastoral Council and Pastoral Staff, it’s been decided to give that room a proper name in honor of Fr. Augustus Tolton, the first African-American priest in the United States and a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago in the late 19th century.
At some point in recent years, I hope you’ve heard about Fr. Tolton, particularly because our Vicar, Bishop Joseph Perry, has spear-headed Fr. Tolton’s cause for canonization. Fr. Tolton was born into slavery in Monroe Co., Missouri in 1854 and escaped to Quincy, Illi-nois with his family during the Civil War. He studied for the priest-hood in Rome because no American seminary would accept him on account of his race. He was ordained in 1889 and eventually was invited to come to Chicago where he became pastor of St. Monica parish until his untimely death from heat stroke in 1897. His minis-try in Chicago was marked by extraordinary concern for the poor and tireless devotion to his parishioners.
His road to canonization began in 2010 when Cardinal George an-nounced that Fr. Tolton’s cause had been accepted in Rome and he was declared a “Servant of God, the first step toward sainthood. And just this year, his cause was advanced to the next stage where the holiness and heroism of his life will be examined in Rome. The next step along the road to canonization would be declaring him “venerable.” “Blessed” comes next when a miracle can be attributed to his intercession. Finally, usually after a second miracle has been confirmed, he would be declared a saint. There is never any specific timeline as to how long that process will last, but the journey has begun.
But back to The Tolton Room….The room is nearly completed with window blinds, air conditioning and an awning over the south school doors being the only remaining additions; hopefully all those will be in place by the end of June. Then, at some point, Bishop Perry has offered to come to bless this new gathering space for us; we’ll work at finding a day and time to make that happen. In the meantime, you can find Fr. Tolton’s full biography on the web-site of the Archdiocese of Chicago or access it directly at http://tolton.archchicago.org.
baby food, gently used baby clothes, any and all baby goods that you
can think of and fit in the crib. Don’t worry, we’ll make room for what-
ever you can give.
All your gifts will be donated to south side agencies who provide as-
sistance to meet the material, emotional and spiritual needs of
women, and their families, by offering hope and giving real help to all
who are affected by unplanned pregnancies and who have chosen to
give life to, and keep, their babies.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
YOU CAN HELP MAKE SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE BETTER.
PLEASE HELP. PLEASE GIVE.

special collection for Easter flowers. Below are the names of the
loved ones especially remembered during the Easter Season:

EASTER FLOWER OFFERING
Easter Flower Offering envelopes are available at the church
exits. We will print the names of those being remembered in
the bulletin each week as they are received. So please return
your Easter Flower offering envelope in the regular collection
or drop it off at the rectory. They will remain available until
the Solemnity of Pentecost on June 9th.
Self-care is never a selfish act - it is simply good stewardship of
the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others.
Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires,
we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose
lives we touch.
