He is not a judgmental and aloof king reigning in heaven but a loving and compassionate God who is intimately involved with His children and all His creation. God as Father reveals the immensity of God's presence as seen in the wonder of creation: the stars and seas, the mountains and hills, and all the glory that surrounds us. Jesus reveals the compassionate and gentle face of God, a God of Mercy who desires nothing more than for His children to seek and come to Him. God the Holy Spirit reminds us that God is the very life force of our existence, without Whom we would have no breath and the universe would have no life. Words to Inspire the Faithful Among all things that are lovable, there is one that is more lovable than the rest, and that most lovable of all things is LIFE. ~St. Anthony A very warm welcome is extended to all who have come to St. Stanislaus Church to worship this weekend. We are grateful to our parishioners and we welcome our guests who visit us this weekend.

3 Gospel Meditation Encourage Deeper Understanding of Scripture The Most Holy Trinity "God so loved the world that He gave His only Son." We are used to this profound idea, so used to it that we often glaze over the incredible reality: God the Father has a Son who became man and dwelt among us! Too often we blithely make the sign of the cross in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, without realizing what a radical theology we are announcing. Only Christianity proclaims a triune God. Only Christianity professes that we have one God in Three Divine Persons. Only Christianity declares that the very nature of God is to be relational and literally "personal." Why does this matter? Because we are made in God's image, as the opening chapters of Genesis tell us. We, therefore, are made in the image of this Trinitarian God who IS love. We are built to be like this God! Just as God the Father loves God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, we too are called to love one another. In fact, we are not fulfilling our nature and design when we don't. And just as God loved the world (that is, us!) so too we are called to love Him in return. We don't have to embrace this image in which we were made, of course. God gave us freedom so that our love can be real, but this means our choices really matter. We can decide not to reflect God's interpersonal love in the world. We can opt not to return the love that God pours out to each of us. But this can only lead to disappointment in the end. After all, God sent His Son so that "everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have Eternal Life." Ultimately, this means spending eternity in the Trinitarian embrace of love. So why not start now? One Decade a Day-Can Keep War Away and Have Peace Stay! Become a Prayer Warrior! Sign up to be part of the Living Rosary Prayer Ministry. As we celebrate the 100 th Anniversary of our Lady of Fatima s apparitions to the 3 children, by obeying her request to pray the rosary daily is one of the most beautiful gifts we can offer her. Our world continues to be in DESPERATE need of prayer. While the leaders of nations assert their power with weapons and warfare, we know through the message from our Heavenly Mother and faith, that we hold the ultimate weapon to attain world peace, the ROSARY. Promise to pray privately at home ONE DECADE of the rosary everyday for world peace and the Pope s monthly intention. You and the other members of the Living Rosary will pray an assigned Mystery which then completes a whole rosary. You will receive a new Mystery and intention every month. For more information contact Sonja Stenclik at the rectory or her at sonja.stenclik@dor.org.

4 Święto Trójcy Świętej Wiara w jednego Boga w trzech Osobach jest jednym z najbardziej specyficznych elementów chrześcijaństwa. Żadna inna religia tej tajemnicy nie podaje do wierzenia. Istnienie Trójcy Świętej jest dogmatem naszej wiary. Samym ludzkim rozumem nie doszlibyśmy do tej prawdy. Objawił nam to Jezus Chrystus. Jest wiele miejsc, na których Pan Jezus mówi o swoim Ojcu jako odrębnej Osobie-Bogu. Jezus przedstawia Boga jako Tego, który chce człowieka zbawić, a nie potępić. Bóg objawił się w trzech osobach nie po to, aby skomplikować nam życie czy zmusić nas do filozoficznych dociekań, ale dlatego, by w pełniejszy sposób ukazać swoją miłość. Uroczystość Bożego Ciała Uroczystość Najświętszego Ciała i Krwi Chrystusa będziemy obchodzić w tym roku w przyszłą niedzielę. Każdego roku w procesji z Najświętszym Sakramentem do czterech ołtarzy wyznajemy wiarę w Bóstwo Jezusa Chrystusa. Uroczysta Procesja odbędzie się po Mszy świętej o godzinie rano. Prosimy wszystkich Parafian, Gości oraz dzieci Pierwszo Komunijne o wzięcie uzdziału w tej uroczystej Procesji. Nowi Członkowie Rady Parafialnej Mieliśmy w tym roku 5 wolnych miejsc w naszej Radzie Parafialnej, ale i 5 osób które zgłosiły swoje kandydatury. W związku z tym zebranie Rady Parafialnej w czerwcu odbędzie się przy udziale nowych członków. Oto oni: Anna Bachner, John Knick, Daniel Plonka, Krystyna Staub oraz Dorothy Styk. Prosimy o gratulacje dla nich kiedy ich spotkacie. Jednocześnie bardzo im dziękujemy za poświęcony wolny czas dla naszej parafii. Potrzebni Wolontariusze na Polski Festiwal Pilnie potrzebujemy wolontariuszy do pomocy przy tegorocznym festiwalu na stanowisku: kierowca transportowy przy wydawaniu potraw każdego kto upiecze lub pomoże upiec polskie desery lub ciasta. Jeżeli masz wolny czas, chcesz i możesz pomóc naszej parafii a przy okazji pobawić się na festiwalu - zapraszamy. Wszystkich zainteresowanych bardzo prosimy o kontakt z Jan Vorndran, albo na plebanię pod numer Z góry dziękujemy za każdą pomoc. Feast of Corpus Christi Next Sunday! We will celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi next Sunday, June 18th with two Masses. After the 11:00 a.m. Mass we will have a solemn procession with the Blessed Sacrament to the four altars set up on the grounds of the church. We are asking Polish Choir, Polish School and Parish Societies to prepare the altars for the Feast of Corpus Christi. We would like to invite Parishioners, Guests and First Holy Communion Children to participate in this day as we honor the Blessed Body and Blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Be a Secret Surprise Birthday Blessing! Each week many of you faithfully bring boxes, cans and bags of healthy food for those in poverty. They are very grateful that you help to fill their tables. But even with your very generous donations they continue to struggle to meet day to day basic needs and therefore are not able to afford the extravagance of a birthday cake for their child s birthday. Will you be a birthday blessing and surprise a child by providing the fixings for a Happy Birthday? Take a gift bag and fill it with the items on the list. Return it to the Food Donation Box. Sr. Julia will deliver your secret surprise. St. Stanislaus Parish Picnic Father Roman invites all to spend a wonderful afternoon in a family atmosphere! Our annual parish picnic will take place on Sunday, June 25 h from Noon till 4:00 p.m. on the parish grounds. The picnic is a way to thank all parishioners, their families and friends of the parish for their dedication and love with which they shower our church and our parish. Hamburgers, hot dogs, salads and drinks, the all American picnic fare will be provided. If you would like to bring a salad or dessert to share, they would be most welcome. Catholic Communication Campaign This weekend, a second collection will be taken up to support the Catholic Communication Campaign. With your support, we can do more to use communications effectively in our diocese to bring the Good News Home. You can experience Christ through the media by giving generously to the Catholic Communications Campaign. Please be generous.
