Children at Shriners Hospital are provided with care for orthopedic problems, burns, spinal cord injuries, cleft lip and palate, and other complex surgical needs. Most recently Shriners renovated an Activity Room, where the children can express themselves through art, but the supplies are lacking. That is why the St. William Boy Scout Troop 49 is collecting art supplies such as colored pencils, markers, crayons, coloring books, acrylic or watercolor paints, paint brushes, canvases, white and colored chalk, Play-Doh, and new or lightly used coloring books to donate to the hospital. Collection bins will be placed at all four exits of the church. We will be collecting through Sunday, December 20 th.

4 Page Four PRESCHOOL NEWS The preschool children have been very busy learning many new things. They learn through exploration with many hands-on experiences. Every day we sing and pray together. Our morning routine includes prayer, reciting the pledge of allegiance, calendar time, and recording the weather. The children are actively involved in these activities. The preschool children attend music, gym, and computer class every week, just like the rest of the school. In Religion the children have learned that they are a part of God s family and that they are very special and unique. We went on our first field trip to Siegel s Cottonwood Farm and learned all about where food comes from and life on the farm. We sure had fun! WE WOULD LIKE TO THA K EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTS OUR SCHOOL.

DAN BRANDT We hope you can join us for the fourth in a series of six Hot Topics lectures: Tuesday, December 7:00 PM Topic: Faith on Tough Streets. Chicago's Police and how their faith is tested on the streets. Presented by: Fr. Dan Brandt Hosting Parish: St. Cyprian Church (2601 Clinton, River Grove, IL ) About The Topic: Fr. Dan Brandt will present on the faith aspect of the trauma that Chicago Police Officers encounter on a daily basis. It is difficult for some to find God in the worst and ugliest of times. Ministry to police officers is unique and critical since they experience more bad and ugly things in the course of an eight-hour shift than the general public witnesses in an entire lifetime. It is the job of the police chaplain to provide crisis ministry and pastoral care to these souls, often deeply affected by what they see and do every day. Police chaplains try to regularly remind officers that they are performing a God-ordained task and are undertaking the most noble of professions. About the Speaker: Fr. Dan Brandt, Chicago Police Chaplain. Fr. Brandt has been active in the Police Chaplains' Ministry since Dan was ordained a Priest of the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago in May of A small reception will follow discussion!

7 UROCZYSTOŚĆ CHRYSTUSA KRÓLA W czasie, kiedy narody zrzucały z tronów królów, carów i cesarzy, papież Pius XI encykliką Quas primas z 11 grudnia 1925 roku ustanowił dla całego świata katolickiego uroczystość Chrystusa Króla. Ustanawiając tę uroczystość, papież przypomniał całemu światu Boskość i inność Jezusowego królestwa. Chrystus nie jest bowiem Królem na wzór władców ziemskich. Nie doszukamy się u Niego znamion ziemskiej potęgi. On nie chce panować nad ludźmi przy pomocy siły, wojska czy policji. Chrystus chce panować w sercach ludzi, bo jest Królem Prawdy i Miłości. Pragnie, by zapanował na świecie Boży ład, Boża prawda, Boża sprawiedliwość, a przede wszystkim Boża miłość. Zapowiedział i przewidział Go już prorok Daniel: Powierzono Mu panowanie, chwałę i władzę królewską, a służyły Mu wszystkie narody, ludy i języki. Panowanie Jego jest wiecznym panowaniem, które nie przeminie, a Jego królestwo nie ulegnie zagładzie (Dn 7,14). Historia potwierdza prawdę przepowiedni proroka Daniela. Powstawały wielkie imperia i upadały. Tylko królestwo Chrystusa nie ulegnie zagładzie. Jego królestwo jest wieczne i bramy piekielne go nie przemogą. Upadło potężne imperium rzymskie. W czasach nowożytnych upadły wielkie imperia Hiszpanii, Anglii, Austro- Węgier, Francji, Rosji. Niektórzy z nas byli świadkami upadku nazistowskiego imperium Hitlera, a także komunistycznego imperium sowieckiego. Tylko królestwo Chrystusa przetrwa na wieki. Bł. Matka Teresa z Kalkuty mówiła kiedyś, że nigdy nie zapomni spotkania z rodziną, do której należało kalekie, niepełnosprawne dziecko. Zakonnica wskazując na malucha, spytała, jak ma na imię. Usłyszała wówczas piękną i głęboką odpowiedź: Nazywamy go profesorem miłości, tyle przecież uczymy się od niego. Dla nas Profesorem Miłości jest Chrystus. Miłość bowiem jest sercem Jego życia i nauczania. Ze wszystkich zaś czynów miłości, jakich nasz Król dokonał na ziemi, żaden nie przemawia do nas bardziej, niż Jego śmierć na krzyżu. Chrystus pragnie, abyśmy panowali wraz z nim na wieki. Pragnie, abyśmy nosili Królewskie korony utkane z miłości.
