4 August 30, nd Ordinary Sunday Page Four World Mee ng of Families Catechesis Series The USCCB Secretariat of Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth is excited about the World Mee ng of Families (WMOF) being held in Philadelphia in September They are presen ng a series of short ar cles focused on the WMOF Catechesis Love is our Mission: The Family Fully Alive and its implica ons for our daily lives. Why the Church Does Not (Cannot) Endorse So-Called Same-Sex Marriage Advocates of same-sex marriage can only make a case for its recogni on by premising marriage as mainly ero c or emo onal sa sfac on and not as a social ins tu on for the sake of uni ng a man and a woman to each other, and children to their parents (134). Emo ons run deep on this subject. As the catechesis Love is Our Mission points out, the truth about marriage has been obscured in our culture so much so that it is barely recognizable. As contracep on, steriliza on, abor on and divorce have become socially accepted and even commonplace, accep ng same-sex sexual rela onships seems a plausible next step (134). Once the core elements of marriage are separated the uni ve and procrea ve purposes the line of what counts as a marriage is easily erased and redrawn. What s morally acceptable becomes whatever people are comfortable with, or whatever two (or more) consen ng adults agree on. Once established, this rela vis c view is difficult to uproot. Six adults raised by two people of the same sex submi ed amicus curiae briefs at the U.S. Supreme Court in support of man-woman marriage laws. I find the stories of these men and women compelling because they witness to the truth of the human heart: every person has an innate desire to know and be raised by their own mother and father. Children suffer when this does not happen, even if it is for a very good reason. We know this not only from these six people, but also from the experiences of adopted children, children of divorce, and children of ar ficial reproduc on. These experiences and situa ons are not the same, but they do show us that whenever possible, children should be with their own mother and father in a stable, loving home. The witness of these six adults and of others points to the deeper ques on: What is marriage? The only defini on of marriage that upholds the dignity of the child is the union of a man and a woman a union grounded in sexual difference and open to life. Even when the gi of children is not possible due to infer lity or age, marriage does not lose its meaning. Marriage in society is not about affirming adult roman c desires; it s about bringing men and women together to become fathers and mothers of the next genera on and recognizing the contribu on that spousal love offers to society. As a Sacrament, marriage is further about drawing men and women close to Christ in a mutual gi of self that mirrors and par cipates in His rela onship with the Church.

5 Page Five 22nd Ordinary Sunday August 30, 2015 Thank you to all of you from the bo om of my heart for the farewell that you so though ully organized last Sunday. Thank you for the wonderful Liturgy with powerful music arrangements by our Polish Music Director, Kamil and the cantor, Stasia. Thank you for the farewell party following the Mass, for the warm words of gra tude and well wishes and gi s.

I also thank all parish groups and organiza ons: the Polish Highlander Club, the Club of Good Shepherd, the Associa on of Apostles of Divine Mercy, the Polish Rosary Club, the Knights of Columbus, the children choir: Kropeczki and their parents, and all the teachers and catechists from St Ferdinand Polish School. In a special way, I would like to thank Dr. Lucine Mastalerz, who throughout the seven years of my ministry here, supported me in managing the Religious Educa on Program at St. Ferdinand School and Notre Dame High School for Girls and Sunday Religious Educa on Programs. It is never possible to list everyone by name, but I assure you that I will always keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I m not going far, I will be ministering at Holy Trinity Polish Mission on Noble Street and I trust we will see each other during many church events and happenings. May God bless you! Sr. Anna Strycharz, MChR RELIGIOUS EDUCATION REGISTRATION for Grades K-8 I was born in the small city Łańcut in southwest Poland. I am the oldest daughter of three siblings. A er gradua ng from High School 20 years ago, I joined the Missionary Sisters of Christ the King Congrega on. A er receiving my Master s degree in Theology, I was working with children and youth in various schools. I taught for eight years in Poland before my move to Chicago. In the U.S. I spent seven years as Administrator at St. Blasé Polish Catholic School in Chicago. I also had the pleasure of establishing, organizing and teaching at Good Shepherd Preschool at Lombard, IL. The last two years I have spent in Newark, NJ working as the principal of St. Francis Xavier Catholic School and serving the Polish immigrants at St. Casimir s parish. Now, I would like to take this opportunity to share my excitement about my new appointment at St. Ferdinand Parish. This parish has a reputa on of excellence and I feel so very fortunate and privileged to be joining this community. It is my intent to con nue to carry out the important tradi ons and prac ces of St. Ferdinand Polish Catholic School and Religious Educa on Program. I am excited that we have the opportunity here at St. Ferdinand to touch the lives of many children and teach them about the love of Jesus. I look forward to be a part of a warm, safe and caring parish community and working together with so many great people this year.

10 August 30, nd Ordinary Sunday Page Ten Drodzy Parafianie i Przyjaciele, Z całego serca pragnę podziękować Wam wszystkim za wspaniałe pożegnanie, które zorganizowaliście dla mnie w ostatnią niedzielę. Dziękuje za przygotowanie Mszy św. pod względem muzycznym i liturgicznym, zwłaszcza organiście Kamilowi i kantorce Stasi. Z całego serca dziękuję za przygotowanie poczęstunku w sali parafialnej. Dziękuję za wszystkie słowa skierowane do mnie, za życzliwośc oraz prezenty. Ta wdzięczność należy się przede wszystkim Bogu, którego Opatrzność kieruje naszym życiem. Zaraz po Panu Bogu słowa wdzięczności kieruję ku kapłanom - księdzu Proboszczowi Zdzisławowi, księżom wikariuszom Ks.Michałowi i ks. Pawłowi oraz diakonowi Pawłowi. Dziękuję Siostrom Misjonarkom Chrystusa Króla- s. Kamili, s.annie, s. Genowefie. Na ręce przewodniczącej Rady Parafialnej pani Zofii Kass dziękuję Radzie Parafialnej i wszystkim parafianom. Dziękuję pani sekretarce Zofii Mazurek i wszystkim pracownikom parafii, którzy często wspomagali mnie w mojej posłudze. Dziękuję za życzliwość i życzenia Grupom Parafialnym: Kołu Podhalan i Miłośników Tatr, Klubowi Dobrego Pasterza, Grupie Miłlosierdzia Bożego, Kołowi Żywego Różańca, Rycerzom Kolumba, Narodowym Siłom Zbrojnym Nowe Pokolenie Chicago, Zespołowi dziecięcemu Kropeczki i ich rodzicom, Nauczycielom i katechetom z Polskiej Katolickiej Szkoły im Św. Ferdynanda. Serdeczne słowa podziękowania kieruję do Dr. Lucine Mastalerz, która wspierała mnie przez siedem lat w prowadzeniu Programu Religijnego w amerykańskiej szkole podstawowej im. Św. Ferdynanda, Liceum Notre Dame oraz Niedzielnym Programie Religijnym. Nie sposób jest wymienić wszystkich po imieniu, ale każdego z osobna wymienionego i niewymienionego z imienia polecam Dobremu Bogu. Dziękując za życzliwość obiecuję pamięć w modlitwie. Ponieważ przechodzę do parafii chicagowskiej na tzw. Trójcowo, ufam,że będziemy się spotykać przy rónych uroczstościach kościelnych i patriotycznych. Niech Dobry Bóg Wam błogosławi. Wdzięczna, s.anna Strycharz, MChR Pochodzę z województwa podkarpackiego, z diecezji przemyskiej, a dokładnie z małego miasta Łańcut znanego z pięknego zamku I powozowni. Jestem najstarsza z trojga rodzeństwa; moi rodzice, siostra i brat mieszkają w Polsce. Po maturze wstąpiłam do Zgromadzenia sióstr Misjonarek Chrystusa Króla w Poznaniu. Przygotowując się do złożenia ślubów wieczystych przez pięć lat pracowałam jako katechetka w Tarnowie, Pyrzycach i Szczecinie. Po złożeniu wieczystej profesji w 2003 roku zostałam wysłana do pracy wśród Polonii w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Moją pierwszą placówką za oceanem była Parafia św. Błażeja, gdzie wspólnie z siostrami organizowałyśmy nowo powstającą szkołę polską. Tam zdobywałam doświadczenie pracy w administracji szkoły, a później na stanowisku dyrektora. Moje 10 lat spędzone w Chicago to również czas studiów, pracy w przedszkolu, a także koordynacji programów religijnych przy parafiach. Ostatnie dwa lata spędziłam na wschodnim wybrzeżu Ameryki, gdzie pracowałam w podstawowej szkole amerykańskiej w Newark, NJ. W wolnych chwilach uwielbiam czytać, podróżować i odkrywać nowe miejsca. Z radością i zaufaniem wchodzę w nowy rozdział mojego życia i posługiwania, tym razem w Parafii św. Ferdynanda. Pragnę, by także przeze mnie, mogło się pomnażać dobro w tym miejscu i w tym czasie. Chcę być otwarta na wszystko, co Pan Bóg przygotował dla mnie w tym miejscu. Sr. Dorota Domin, Misjonarka Chrystusa Króla Witamy w Polskiej Szkole Katolickiej im. św. Ferdynanda!!!

13 August 30, nd Ordinary Sunday Page Thirteen When most people hear that I work in a food lab, I think they get a certain image in their heads, and that image is probably filled with fancy technical apparatus like gas chromatographs and electron microscopes and spectrophotometers. Yeah. We re nothing like that. We ve got a ph meter or two and some nice electronic balances, but we re not really a lab. Mostly, we re a kitchen. But it is a very nice kitchen, mind you, with ovens, microwaves, deep fat fryers, griddles, refrigerators, freezers, and all of the pots, pans, and utensils you d ever need. We also have seven long stainless steel benches where we put the food we re evalua ng. And one rule is paramount for my colleagues and me as well as for our guests who we invite almost daily to the lab from around the building to help us in our product evalua ons by way of sensory panels: Wash your hands! To this end, we have hand-washing sta ons in the lab, and at each one, we have Illinois Department of Public Health PROPER HANDWASHING signage. 1) Wet hands with soap and warm water. 2) Rub hands for 20 seconds. Get under the fingernails and between the fingers. Note I sing Yankee Doodle in my head to cover the me. 3) Rinse under warm running water. 4) Dry hands on your own clean towel. And 5) Turn off water with paper towel. Throw towel away. It sounds kind of exac ng, true, but I ve seen people in the lab wash their hands the same way I used to wash mine when Mom told me to clean up before dinner.

Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com) St. Ferdinand Parish If my hands were in the water for two seconds, it was a long me, and typically the water was cold because really, who had me to let it get warm? Cleanliness is cri cal professionally for work-related safety reasons. It s also cri cal personally because as the main cook at my place, I want to keep my family safe. At the same me, I totally get the message Jesus puts forth in today s Gospel. Here, the scribes and Pharisees grumble when Jesus disciples are seen ea ng meals without washing their hands first (in keeping with the religious precepts of the day). Why do your disciples not follow the tradi ons of the elders, the religious elite ask Jesus, but instead eat a meal with unclean hands? Jesus quotes Isaiah and chides his challengers for lip service to God, then he goes-- appropriately--right to the heart of it: Hear me, all of you, and understand. Nothing that enters from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what defile. Jesus concludes, From within people, from their hearts, come evil thoughts, unchas ty, the, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licen ousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile. Pre y ugly. Which is why Jesus once likened the scribes and Pharisees to whitened sepulchers: beau ful on the outside, not-so-much on the inside. Jesus knows our hearts, and if we are honest with ourselves, so do we. Hand washing is important. Heart washing, even more so.
