Bow….WOW!!!
Question of the week:
This week we celebrate Christ the King. In the best sense of
the word, a King I someone who cares for the people under
his care, and alo has authority over them. When have you
felt Jesus’ care for you? How do you allow Jesus to have
authority over you?
Join us for BOW...WOW at 11:00 on Sunday.
Today we welcome our neighbors from
Etz Chiam!!
They will be joining us for the 10:00 Mass and then we will
meet for our “BOW..WOW!”. What an exciting opportunity
to learn more about the faith that Jesus practiced!

FEED THE HUNGRY
Thank you to all our First Grade Families that partici-
pated in our monthly service project. During the month
of October, our families worked on the Corporal Work
of Mercy-”Feed the Hungry”. The families decide how
best to participate and complete the project together.
They then do a reflection and turn that in. We draw a
name from all the reflections turned in and have two
“winners” who receive a gift card that will benefit the
whole family. Some families went to “Feed my Starv-
ing Children” and others packed food for the Food
Pantries. Others shopped for their favorite foods and
donated it to various food pantries. Even though we
could only choose two to win, all families who partici-
pated are winners and based on the reflections we
received, learned quit a bit about being hungry!
Congratulations to the October winners of our Family
Service Project Drawing Erin Matos and Julia Glaser.

Library Time at

Kindergarteners and preschoolers enjoy check-out time, twice a week at the in-house library at Christ the King Early
Learning Academy. Fiction, non-fiction, puzzles and videos are available for lending. Whether tornados, snakes, or Dis-
ney, kids quickly learn where their favorite types of books are located and they all know well that only one video per child
is allowed! Because the books are toted to and from the library in a special blue book bag, and because the kids and
their parents are so great about tracking their books, late books are rarely an issue at the CKELA Library. Open registra-
tion call Jill at 630-627-0640.

Dear Academy Families,
We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for at-
tending the Family Movie Night. We had over 70 peo-
ple! We would like to thank the Nowak family for the
ice cream treat and again wish Mr. Swan a very happy
birthday!
Thank you to all the families who contributed to the
Winter Wonderland Fundraiser by giving $50.00,
$50.00 gift certificate, or a basket—all of the things are
vitally important to this fundraiser! We depend on each
family to sign up to bring a hot or cold appetizer. Only
8 families have sign up for appetizers at the current
time, so that means 23 families still need to sign
up. We cannot stress enough the importance of this
event. Please invite family and friends to attend this
fundraiser, take advantage of the presence of St. Nick
for a photo, bid on an item, and most importantly enjoy
the fellowship! With the success of this fundraiser gen-
erally we are able to meet about one half of our fund-
raiser requirement for the year.
Reminder Picture retake day is Tuesday, November 23
at 8:30 A.M. We have extra photo order envelopes in
the office should you need them. Open registration for
students, call the office.

Saturday, December 4, 2010
9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Mayslake Ministries Center
450 East 22nd Street, Lombard
(across the road from Yorktown Mall)
Do you remember watching It’s a Wonderful Life or the ever-
popular Christmas Story as a kid each year (and perhaps now
as young adult, too)? In the midst of this hectic and busy holi-
day season, take a much-needed break with those very same
films. Using the lens of our favorite Christmas movies, join
retreat leaders Paul & Sarah Jarzembowski as they take
young adults (collegiate, 20s & 30s) on a nostalgic journey into
the Advent season with prayer, conversation, and reflection.
The day will also include lunch and opportunities for quiet
prayer and the sacrament of reconciliation.
Paul Jarzembowski is an author, blogger, national speaker,
film reviewer, and the Director of Young Adult Ministry for
the Diocese of Joliet. Sarah is a motivational speaker, life
coach, and Director of Youth Ministry for St. Mary Catholic
Church in Mokena, Illinois. The two have been married since
2002. The cost is only $20 per person and includes lunch and
materials. To register for this event, contact Lauren Kohler-
Rausch at (630) 268-9000 or email her at
lrausch@mayslakeministries.org
This event is co-sponsored by the Diocese of Joliet Young
Adult Ministry Office and iSpirit, a young adult ministry out-
reach of Mayslake Ministries.

November 21, 2010 Year of the Eucharist 2010-2011
How to make a Holy Hour –
some suggestions:
The following are suggestions adapted from a Marytown
publication on how one may go about arranging a “Holy
Hour” in such a way as to make it more spiritually mean-
ingful.
First: Divide the Holy Hour into four 15 minute peri-
ods.
Dedicate the first 15 minutes to a Realization of Who is
present in the Holy Eucharist. Make use of some fa-
milial prayers and songs of adoration usually found in the
church missalette – such as “Holy God, We Praise Thy
Name,” and “Now Praise We All Our God.” Read the
words slowly and with great, deep understanding.
For the next 15 minutes, devote the time to thoughts of
Thanksgiving to God. Use the time to thank God for
special blessings and wonders of God; the gifts of life,
opportunities, special friends. Thank him for his love for
you and unfailing help in trials and difficulties.
Dedicate the third 15 minutes to Petition. Ask for the
grace that he wants for you and others. Ask him for his
help and guidance. Pray for conversions. Pray for par-
ticular people, those who are away from the church. Pray
for the sick and lonely, the discouraged, our country, its,
leaders. Pray for our Holy Father. Pray for peace, God’s
peace in the hearts of all. Remember his words: “Come
to me all you who labor and are burdened and I will give
you rest” (MT 11:28)
Dedicate the last 15 minutes of the Holy Hour to Atone-
ment. A look into one’s conscience
And the conscience of the world gives the answer. In the
headlines you see insults, blasphemies, defiance thrown
by man into the face of God, the injuries of mankind.
Think of the sins of injustice that cry to heaven, the sins
against life.
You might wish to express your thoughts of sorrow for
these sins. You may do so in your own words, or use the
liturgical words of “Lord have mercy” or the hymn “O
Lord, I am not worthy”. You may pray the Chaplet of
Divine Mercy, the Litanies of the Sacred Heart of t of the
Holy Name of Jesus.
A slow, thoughtful saying of the Rosary would be very
helpful during any phase of a Holy Hour. With our Mother
and with Christ present there before you in the Eucharist,
recall and consider those events.
Ask our blessed Mother to pray for us.
How to Make a Holy Hour by Fr. John P. Gringus, OFM
Page 9
When I was thirteen years old, I had the oppor-
tunity to go on a skiing trip in the Rocky Mountains. I
was excited about the trip, but had never been skiing
before, so I was pretty anxious. I waited in the post of-
fice parking lot with a lot of people who appeared to
have all the proper equipment for a ski trip and knew
each other. After all they were a club. I did not know a
soul, and I was standing all alone. When the bus
came, everyone piled on and took their seats. The bus
driver closed the door and the bus left. I was left stand-
ing on the curb.
Since I didn’t understand anything about skiing
and didn’t know anyone, I chose to skip the trip. I don’t
know if my mother got reimbursed for my not going
along on the trip. I pray now that she did.
I think many people feel the same way about
Eucharistic Adoration. Sometimes we find ourselves
with questions about our faith, to which we think we
should know the answers automatically, just because
we are Catholic. Adoration of the Most Holy Eucharist
has changed many lives over the years. Come and let it
change your life, too
Knowing what to do when we first come is the
hard part. No one wants to look out of place. Knowing
how to act is a very comforting thing.
When you do come, enter through the South-
east door of the Church, if it is locked, ring the bell, no
one will mind opening the door. Enter the vestibule
and look to your left. There are prayers and readings
available for you to borrow while spending your hour
with the Lord.
Enter the Church quietly, don’t worry, no one
will turn around. When you come to a pew of your
choice, either genuflect on one knee, which is proper,
or both knees, which is common. Or if your knees are
too sore, a profound bow is fine. Say a prayer of
thanks and reflection. Enter the pew, and sit or kneel.
You are now ready to sit with the Lord. It is
suggested that you spend an hour. So, don’t close
your eyes you may fall asleep if, you kneel with your
head in your hands or close your eyes. Just sit in the
Lords presence and empty your mind of your cares and
worries. Hand them over to the Lord. The quiet is nice,
and you will be surprised at how fast the time goes.
When you are ready to leave just follow the same in-
structions, just in reverse, and remember to return the
items in the vestibule, for other people to use.
So do come and feel welcome! Don’t stand on the
curb. Join your parish family in the loving presence of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Adoration is held in the Church on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Thurs-
days from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Adoration on the first Thursday
of the month is from 8:30 AM first Thursday till 7:30 AM first Fri-
day. For more information go to www.ctklombard.org and click

May God Bless you!

TAX WISE GIVING

Tax Wise giving is referred to by many names. While

some people refer to it as charitable estate planning, the
most common term used is "planned giving." Although all
gifts are planned in one way or another, "planned giving"
generally refers to making a gift now while retaining an
interest in the donated property, or arranging for a gift that
the charity will receive in the future or at the donor's
death.

Ideally, Christian stewardship impacts all phases of our

life, including our plans for the use of our worldly goods
and resources after our death. Planned gifts are typically
larger and more sophisticated than normal Sunday contri-
butions. The subject of a plan gift can take the form of
real estate, cash or other personal property.

If you're interested in learning more about how you can

include Christ the King in your estate plan, please call Fr.
Peter.
