3 St. William TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION This New Year s Eve, at the turning of the year, you may catch a glimpse of the old year, a cartoon figure of a hunched old man with a sickle, Father Time. Where else but in this column could you learn that this is in fact a pope? December 31 was in the old calendar the feast of St. Sylvester. Legend says that Sylvester healed the Emperor Constantine of leprosy, and presided at the liturgy of baptism for the grateful emperor. In 314, he was chosen pope, and it fell to him to organize the peacetime church, free at last from persecution. He founded the Lateran Basilica, the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome. In northern Europe Sylvester Night is a time of great parties with eating, dancing, and singing recalling perhaps the joy of the church in the fresh air of Sylvester s papacy. In Poland, there was great fear as the year 1000 approached that an immense dragon would devour the earth and set fire to the heavens. The people prayed earnestly to St. Sylvester, trusting that the saint would not permit such suffering on his feast day. They ve been celebrating ever since! Many New Year s customs have pagan roots, like the British First Footer tradition. The idea is that the first person setting foot into your house in the new year determines the luck for the year ahead. The ideal first footer was not a bit like old Pope Sylvester, but rather a tall, dark-haired man carrying the right gift. A handsome first footer meant the year ahead would be pleasant, and if he carried bread or a shovel of coal there would be food and warmth in the future. Who will be your household s first footer? atalina Kass Elzbieta Mital Mary Targosz Maria Hinojosa Dana Oades John Pugliani orma Bode Jinger Rush Sue Coston Donna Ricchio Joel Rivera Dottie Blaska TABERNACLE LIGHTS Katia & Casey Pietrzyk PLEASE PRAY FOR THE SICK Amanda Bert Leila Bandy Dolores Piccoli Lizette Del Valle Michelle Petersen Angelo Tufano icholas Goldie Rich Traush Caleb Fisher Ruthanne Gowin Marilyn Berry Joe & Rose Cernack WEEK AT A GLANCE Sunday, December 27 Monday, December 28 Tuesday, December 29 Wednesday, December 30 Thursday, December 31 New Year s Eve No Noon Mass/No Adoration 8:15am Mass 4:30pm Mass Church 7:00pm Polish Mass Church Friday, January 1, 2016 New Year s Day RECTORY CLOSED 9:00am & 12:00pm Noon Masses Church 10:30am & 6:00pm Polish Masses Church Saturday, January 2 Stop by the rectory to fill out a Facility Scheduling Form to reserve a room or a Cancellation Form. PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR DECEASED FROM DEACON ED: Marge Dyja ADVERTISER OF THE WEEK: Page Three FAMILY LIFE Family life is sacred, but it is not without trial. Perhaps this is the most important message we can glean from today s readings. If Jesus, Mary, and Joseph can trip up sometimes can disconnect then we shouldn t find it surprising when such things happen to us as well. And parents everywhere (children, too) can probably relate to and take some solace in the Gospel s account of Mary and Joseph after Jesus explained why he stayed behind in the temple. They heard his words, Luke tells us, But they did not understand what he said to them (Luke 2:50). Amen! Nevertheless, Jesus does go back home with them, and continues to thrive under their care. Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone. MONTCLAIR-LUCANIA FUNERAL HOME Thanks for your sponsorship! See ad in the back of the bulletin.

4 Page Four St. William BREAKFAST WITH SANTA AT ST. WILLIAM SCHOOL When we are in church to celebrate Christmas we will also be commemorating another important anniversary for our parish. It began on December 25, It happened again on December 25, 1922, and December 25, These were the celebrations of the first Mass in the new St. William Church of that time. The first church was a wooden church that was considered a mission of St. Pascal Parish. The front of this church building was in the small parking lot behind the current school on Newland and Wrightwood. It was warmed by a pot-bellied stove, but the church was still cold. The second church was built in It was a combination church and school. The school itself was opened in 1923 and the teachers were the School sisters of St. Francis of Milwaukee. The third church had its first Mass in 1959, but was later dedicated on October 2, 1960 by Albert Cardinal Meyer. This is the church we love today. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, St. William! Breakfast with Santa was a huge hit with young and old alike last Sunday, the 13 th! Thank you, everyone for your support of St. William School.

7 MEDYTACJA AD IEDZIEL Ą EWA GELIĄ iedziela Świętej Rodziny z Jezusem w owy Rok 1. Maryja i Józef. Trwając w radosnym okresie Bożego Narodzenia zatrzymajmy się na chwilę, aby kontemplować Świętą Rodzinę. Spójrzmy najpierw na Maryję i Józefa rodziców Jezusa, ludzi żywej wiary, jak pielgrzymują do Jerozolimy i zabierają ze sobą 12- letniego Syna. Wychowywali Go, bo powiedzieli Bogu tak, wchodząc w Jego tajemniczy plan zbawienia. Zapewne żyli zwyczajnie jak inne rodziny w Nazarecie. Wyobraźmy sobie ich codzienność: pracę, modlitwę, rozmowy, spotkania, ciepło ich domu i życiowe trudności. Jakie są nasze rodziny? Każdy z nas wychował się w rodzinie, gdzie wzrastał, kształtował się albo nadal kształtuje. Bez wątpienia rodzina jest bardzo ważna. Jakie pojawiają się w nas uczucia wobec rodziny, z której pochodzimy, którą tworzymy, z którą mamy kontakt? 2. Dwunastoletni Jezus. Jezus zwyczajem świątecznym idzie do Jerozolimy. Ma już 12 lat i w tamtej sytuacji prawdopodobnie wchodzi w okres dojrzewania. Pozostając w świątyni, przysłuchuje się i zadaje pytania w taki sposób, że inni są zdumieni bystrością Jego umysłu i odpowiedziami. Jezus wie, gdzie ma być, ale Maryja i Józef jeszcze tego w pełni nie rozumieją. W naszym życiu wiary są podobne sytuacje, których nie rozumiemy i sytuacje, w których my sami gubimy Jezusa. 3. Mijający rok. U końca tego roku proponuję krótką refleksję. Weźmy do ręki podczas modlitwy używany kalendarz i spójrzmy na przebyte dni, tygodnie i miesiące. Ten czas był dla nas wielkim darem Boga. Co wniósł w nasze życie: radości czy bóle, sukcesy czy porażki? Może my też gubiliśmy Jezusa i wiele razy Go nie rozumieliśmy. Powróćmy po tej modlitwie do swojego Nazaretu, do swojej rodziny i codzienności. Porozmawiajmy z Jezusem o tym, co szczególnie nas poruszyło w tej modlitwie. Zapraszamy do modlitwy podczas polskiej Mszy Świętej wraz z nabożeństwem na zakończenie starego roku, we czwartek, 31 grudnia, o godz. 7pm.
