2 Page Two December 5, 2010 Office of the Archbishop Post Office Box 1979 Chicago, Illinois Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, November 19, 2010 Soon your parish will be presenting the annual collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious, which provides for the care of elderly Catholic sisters, brothers and religious order priests. As I reflect on the role that religious have played in our Church, I am reminded of the many ways in which these dedicated women and men serve as bridges of faith. Through their service in Catholic schools and parishes, they offer a bridge to both academic knowledge and faith formation. Through their corporal works of mercy, they are bridges of hope, serving as models of God s love to the poor, the sick, the lonely and the oppressed. In a special way during their retirement years, they serve as bridges of grace, embracing the opportunity to focus more fully on praying for our Church and our world. I realized there are numerous worthy causes in need of assistance and that many individuals and families continue to struggle financially. I ask you simply offer what you can for the care of women and men who have made such enormous contributions to our Church. Thank you for your support of this appeal. During the Advent season, you and those you love will be in my prayers in a special way; please keep me in yours. Drodzy Siostry i Bracia w Chrystusie, Coroczny Apel na Rzecz Funduszu Emerytalnego Osób Konsekrowanych (The Annual Retirement Fund for Religious Appeal) jest źródłem pomocy tak bardzo potrzebnej siostrom i braciom zakonnym, którzy poświęcili swoje życie w służbie Kościołowi i światu. Nieśli oni posługę w szkołach, szpitalach i organizacjach dobroczynnych nie prosząc o nic w zamian. Inwestowali nie w swoje plany emerytalne, ale w ludzi oraz w przyszłość Kościoła, któremu służyli. Mieszkańcy naszej archidiecezji zawsze ze szczodrością odpowiadali na ten doroczny apel; w zeszłym roku ofiarowali na ten cel ponad 1 milion dolarów. W obecnym trudnym finansowo okresie proszę, żebyście ofiarowali po prostu tyle, na ile was stać. Jestem dumny z waszej gotowości przyjścia z pomocą naszym posuwającym się w latach zakonnicom i zakonnikom. Dziękuję wam bardzo za wsparcie tej inicjatywy i proszę, żebyście zachowali siostry i braci zakonnych w waszych sercach i pamiętali o nich w modlitwach. W dzisiejszym gnębionym wieloma problemami świecie są oni wciąż widocznym znakiem Chrystusowej miłości. Zapraszam was do przyłączenia się do ich wędrówki z nadzieją i miłością - szczególnie teraz, w okresie Adwentu. Szczerze oddany Wam w Chrystusie, Francis Kardynał George, O.M.I. Arcybiskup Chicago

6 Page Six December 5, 2010 PODZIĘKOWANIE Polski Komitet Zabawy Jesiennej pragnie złożyć gorące podziękowanie tym wszystkim, którzy wydatnie wspomogli naszą Zabawę. Ci, którzy przybyli, bawili się wspaniale i długo. Obecna zabawa okazała się naszym dużym sukcesem. Na ręce Ks. Proboszcza wręczyliśmy jako czysty dochód kwotę $6, Ta kwota została przeznaczona jako pierwsza rata na kapitalny remont naszych kościelnych organów. Pragniemy także serdecznie podziękować wszystkim Sponsorom, a w szczególny sposób Państwu Marię i Kazia Czochara, oraz Pol-mart Deli, a także wszystkim tym, którzy złożyli jakiekolwiek donacje na cel Zabawy Jesiennej. Jeszcze raz serdeczne Bóg zapłać! THANK YOU The Polish Committee for the annual Fall Dance would like to sincerely thank all the people who helped at and attended the Dance. Everyone who came had a great time and stayed long. Our Dance turned out to be a huge success. We handed Fr. Idzi a clean profit of $6, The Polish Committee decided that this profit would be donated as the first installment to pay for a much needed repair of our church organs. We would like to thank all our generous Sponsors, in a special way Mr. & Mrs. Maria & Casey Czochara and Pol-mart Deli, but also to all who donated whatever they could for our Dance. May God bless you for your generosity. Thank You! ~~Fr. Idzi Stacherczak, Pastor~~ Urgent Action to pass DREAM Act Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. Congress, will call for a vote on the DREAM Act on November 29 and Harry Reid, President of U.S. Senate, will do the same in the Senate a week later. Our new Illinois Senator, Mark Kirk, has not supported this proposed legalization for immigrant students. We should call Senator Kirk and ask him to support the DREAM Act, which will give children of undocumented immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for at least 5 years, graduated from high school, and are of good moral character the opportunity to earn citizenship by successfully completing two years of college or military service. Call Mark Kirk and ask him to vote for the DREAM Act (847) or (202) To reach other U.S. Legislators, call the U.S. Senate at (202) and the U.S. House at (202) The operator will connect you with your proper congressperson. Poprzyj ustawę Dream Act 29 listopada Pani Nancy Pelosi, Marszałek Kongresu Stanów Zjednoczonych, wniesie pod głosowanie ustawę Dream Act a Pan Harry Reid - Prezydent Senatu - w tydzień później uczyni podobnie w Senacie. Nasz nowy Senator, Pan Mark Kirk, nigdy nie popierał tej ustawy wspomagającej naszych imigrantów studentów. Dlatego powinniśmy zadzwonić do Senatora Kirka i poprosić go o poparcie ustawy Dream Act, która umożliwi drogę do osiągnięcia obywatelstwa tym wszystkim dzieciom imigrantów, które żyją w stanach od 5 lat, ukończyli liceum i mają dobry charakter moralny poprzez dwa lata służby wojskowej lub uczęszczanie do Koledżu. Zadzwoń do Marka Kirka i poproś go o poparcie Dream Act: Tel. (847) lub (202) Aby dotrzeć do inncyh Amerykańskich Ustawodawców, zadzwoń do Senatu pod numerem tel. (202) i do U.S. House tel. (202) Tam operator połączy Cię z odpowiednim Kongresmanem.
