Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Next weekend, November 22-23, 2014, is the annual Diocesan
Campaign for Justice and Hope (DCJH) Collection. This collection will
be used to help the tens of thousands of people living in poverty in our
Diocese of Springfield in Illinois.
All the money collected will be given out, through a grant process, to
local programs and organizations that give realistic hope to the poor. Like
all Catholic ministries, the DCJH reaches out to the broader community,
without regard to race, ethnicity or religion. However, we do require that
grant requests have the signature of the pastor or an active member of a
Catholic parish.
Last June, twenty-three (23) organizations/programs received grants
from the 2013 November DCJH collection. Everyone who applied for a
grant received some assistance. All the money collected was distributed
through grants. The Catholic Times November 15-16, 2014 issue has
information on the organizations which received grants.

support. Please give generously to the DCJH collection and, when
possible, share your time and talent.
If you did not receive an envelope for the DCJH collection, donations can
be sent to: Diocesan Campaign for Justice and Hope, 1615 West
Washington Street, Springfield, Illinois 62702. For more information, email DCJH@dio.org or visit the website at www.dio.org.
May God bless you and reward you with peace, joy and hope.
Sincerely yours in Christ,

Parish Nursing
Could it be more?
The house has been "put to bed". The doors are
locked tight, and the lights are shut down. Sounds of
slumber fill your ears as your family begins to drift off
to a restful sleep. Suddenly, the most horrific sound
comes from the baby monitor and you spring from
your bed, rushing to the crib. Your young infant is
coughing and coughing, as he tries to catch his breath
comes a distinct "whoop" and the coughing begins
anew. This sound is like no other.
Recent news banners have announced the
resurgence of pertussis. This bacterial respiratory
infection is also known as whooping cough because
of the unique and very distinctive cough that
accompanies it. Pertussis is highly contagious and
causes uncontrollable and violent coughing. The
whoop sound occurs as after spasmodic bouts of the
cough, the person tries to force air into their lungs.
Over 10,000 children every year are affected with this
infection. The ages most often affected are infants
through 5-6 year olds. There have been occurrences
of older children, teens and even adults who have
contracted a milder infection if immunity fades.
Research has also shown that it may be possible that
strains have become resident to the vaccine currently
given to infants.
Pertussis symptoms may start very much like a cold.
Very often 10-14 days after exposure, the person
begins with severe bouts of coughing. These are
often describes as the "worst in their lives". These
episodes can be severe enough to crack ribs and
rupture blood vessels in the eyes. Even more
important, during these bouts the infected person can
spread the infection to a dozen more without even
realizing what they are infected. The infection is
transmitted in airborne droplets as they cough.
Pertussis immunization are given to infants in a
series of 5 doses at 2,4,6 months and then 15-18
months. Additional doses are done for children at 4
and 6 years with a booster dose at 11-12 years old.
It's important to have these immunization completed
on the schedule recommendations by the CDC.
Vaccines are effective 80-90% of the time but not
perfect. If it seems to be more than a cold it's always
good to ask "could it be more?"
