St. William PRESCHOOL NEWS There are 26 children in the preschool who are learning new things all the time. We completed several lessons in our Religion series which have strengthened the children s positive selfconcepts and increased their awareness of all their abilities God has given to them. Our lessons include prayers, songs, activities, and Scripture. We praise and thank God everyday for making each of us very special. Every week the children attend Music and P.E. classes. During Catholic Schools Week we shared our cultures with our classmates and learned a lot about the different countries. We were creative and made Valentine cards for the Veterans and the residents at Bethesda. The preschoolers showed their School Spirit by singing one of their favorite songs at the all school Pep Rally. We shook our pom poms as students were recognized for their endeavors as well as the winners of our annual Catholic Schools Week Raffle were announced. We would like to THANK the St. William parishioners for their continued support of our school. MAY GOD BLESS YOU!

This is a program to help battered spouses and their children step out of the shadows and learn more about how to get the assistance they need. For all those: Who are too afraid to speak; Who do not have voices of their own; and Who are our neighbors, and sisters. One in four men and women are abused physically, emotionally and mentally in our own parishes! We can learn to recognize the signs, to inform ourselves and gather resources. About the Speaker Charles W.

A small reception will follow discussion! St. William Church 40 Offerings of Lent As Lent approaches each year, our minds turn to, what will we do; what will we give up? Instead of only giving up, why not put something in something that will take hold. Make this Lent more meaningful for the whole family. Join our fellow parishioners in our 2015 Lenten Journey, 40 Offerings of Lent. from February 18 April 4. This is an opportunity for adults and children together to grow in their understanding of the three disciplines of Lent: prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. The 40 Offerings of Lent will be a parish-wide ministry to collect food or other offerings that will benefit parishioners as well neighboring food pantries and outreach programs. An offering a day whether spiritual or almsgiving will fulfill your 40 day Journey. Almsgiving donations will be accepted weekly. Donations can be placed in the boxes located around the altar and will be accepted before or after Masses. Coming in future bulletin: JOURNEY calendar.

7 WŁĄCZ SIĘ DO DOROCZ EJ KWESTY KATOLICKIEJ Świadomi powierzonego nam obowiazku Prosimy, aby w tym tygodniu zastanowić się przez chwilę nad treścią zawartą w materiałach otrzymanych tydzień temu w naszym biuletynie parafialnym, na temat Dorocznej Kwesty Katolickiej. Prosimy pamiętać, że Doroczna Kwesta Katolicka jest czymś więcej niż jednorazową akcją. Została zorganizowana w ten sposób, aby zdeklarowaną ofiarę można było spłacać w ratach. Obserwując efekty działań możliwych do zrealizowania dzięki darowiznom na rzecz Dorocznej Kwesty Katolickiej warto zastanowić się nad głębszym rozumieniem daru otrzymanego od Boga. On dał Ci wszystko, co posiadasz. Wraz z otrzymanymi talentami, powierzony został ci do spełnienia obowiązek. Każda ofiara złożona na parafię, na Archdiecezję oraz na pracę Kościoła Powszechnego powinna być składana, jako wyraz wdzięczności za kontynuację darów otrzymywanych od samego Boga. Każde zobowiązanie przyczynia się do wprowadzenia realnych zmian na lepsze, ponieważ jest cześcią akcji, w której uczestniczą wszystkie parafie, i w ten sposób zebrane darowizny wielu osób umożliwiają naszej Archdiecezji pełnienie koniecznej posługi duszpasterskiej. Nasze wspólne ofiary nie tylko podkreślają naszą wdzięczność Bogu lecz mają realny wpływ na działalność i wsparcie dla wielu zadań prowadzonych przez Kościół chicagowski. Jesli otrzymałeś pocztą formularz zobowiazania finansowego, prosimy wypełnić go i odesłać pod wskazany adres lub przynieść do Kościoła. Każda parafia otrzymała kwote, jaka ma zebrać podczas tej akcji. Nasza parafia otrzymała jako kwote do zebrania $23, Każdy dolar powyżej wyznaczonej kwoty powróci do parafii. Jako proboszcz składam wam Serdeczne Bóg Zapłać za wsparcie tej Kwesty przy naszej parafii.
