MICHAEL SHAPIRO On Wednesday, Dec. 3, Dr. M i c h a e l S h a p i r o , Psychiatrist, M.D. will come to the McHenry Head Start center, 3717 W. Main street from 11-12:30 to speak on "Holiday Depression". Unfortunately, Christmas is not always a festive and happy occasion for some. Financial stress, which makes providing a nice Christmas for the children difficult, is one common problem. Loneliness, being a single or divorced parent, or just alone can create depression. Dr. Shapiro's presentation will be geared toward these factors that can cause depression. He is going to aNow time for a question and answer session. Dr. Shapiro is presently in private psychiatrist practice in Elgin and on staff at St. Joseph's hospital. Since completion of his training he has served in numerous capacities, such as chief of Psychiatry, Fort Benjamin Harrison; director of In­ patient Services, Loyola Medical center. He is also currently a consultant to the McHenry County Head Start program. The meeting will be open to the public. Lunch will be served immediately after the presentation. There is no fee for this. Anyone with questions, should call Lyle Johnson, director, or Jo Ann Koth, social worker at 338-8790. i n M M r i l i i i i i h s t a f f p s y c h o l o g i s t _ne*s tiom Ihr ijmilj Sfivitf <nd MrnUI Health Own of M(Hfni» Counl|. (Editor's Note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This article is "Alone on the Holidays".) To many people the winter holidays are not a time of joy and family togetherness, but a time of sadness and overwhelming loneliness. To the window whose children live hundreds of miles away; to the divorced man alone for the first time; to the single woman who cannot afford a plane ticket back home; to everyone who must face the holidays without the warmth of a close family, the holidays appear to be a time of painful memories. One of the most gratifying surprises that a person can become aware of is that he or she does not need to be alone. You are alone only if you choose to be alone. An important part of taking care of yourself is finding another person to be with when you need someone. The holidays are meant to be shared, which is one reason why holidays are par­ ticularly painful when you are alone. The rather simplistic answer is: make sure you are not alone on the holidays. One of the easiest ways to do this is to find someone else who was planning on being alone and inviting that person to share your holiday with you. One of the reasons that people give for not being with other people during the holidays is that they do not want to impose. It is much more realistic to understand that by sharing yourself during the holidays you can make the day more fulfilling for others also. There is almost no reason why you must be alone on the holidays. If you choose to be by yourself, at least spend some time really examining why you have made this choice. The answer may surprise you.

For further information contact Lee Frisch, 312-639-2564 JEHUS ON THE CHILDREN Parents at a New Jersey Unitarian church asked me to give a talk to their second and third grade children about St. Francis of Assisi. It was an unusual request which I happily accepted. At the end of my talk, one little girl raised her hand and surprised me with the question, "What do Catholic girls do when they put on a white dress and a white veil?" "That's when the children make their first Holy Communion," I replied. "What's that?" she per sisted I tried to be brief, but my answer provoked more probing questions "Why did Jesus get in the bread and wine?" "Because He loved us so much He wanted to unite Himself with each one of us as closely as possible When we received Him in this way, we slowly become more and more like Him." "But how?" a boy insisted. "By entering our body and soul in the form of bread and wine. He helps us to over­ come hatred, jealousy, resentment and all our vices. He wants us to love one another, and radiate Hi* love in the world Jesus knew we couldn't do it by ourselves so He ac­ tually comes in person at each Mass to help us When Catholics say the Ix>rd's prayer, 'Give us this day our daily bread,' we think of this great gift, the Eucharist." The class was silent, staring at me. I felt their hunger for more. Parents also seemed interested. So I continued. "Holy Communion is not a magic.meal which gives us instant strength to become supermen and superwomen. Its power is like the seeds of early spring. At first seeds are so small they're almost invisible, but when summer fully blossoms and we see the lush green harvest of nature, we realize how powerful the seeds really were. Jesus in the bread and wine is like the power of those seeds Jesus makes us holy." R e m e m b e r i n g m y assigned topic, 1 went on, "St Francis of Assisi as a boy was wild and unruly, but later he was completely transformed into a loving and saintly man. In other words, Jesus became more and more alive in him. Francis probably made his first Holy Communion when he was about eight years old, but he received the Lord many times after that in his life. The effects began to show as he entered manhood." >8 was over. As I made mv farewells, all the children came up to me to shake my hand, and I remembered the words of Jesus, "Feed My lambs;" It was a good feeling.
