May we be such good stewards of God s gifts to us that we can never be accused of having faith that does nothing in practice. TWENTY FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME September 16, 2012 The Lord God is my help, therefore I am not disgraced. Isaiah 50:7 IT S ALL ABOUT CONTROL From toddlerhood to old age, we grow in mastery of our own lives, our bodies, and our destiny. This mastery is hard won, and we don t let go of autonomy easily. Much of this self-mastery involves the avoidance of pain or discomfort, so when we hear things like take up your cross and lose your life, we tend to resist the message. James says that faith without works is dead. Ouch! That is really a direct message! One way to look at this, as well as the part about losing our life to find it, is that faith is a process of more and more openness to God s direction of our lives. It is very hard for us to give up control, but perhaps what we are being asked to do is not to become passive and babyish, but to allow God to direct where our self-mastery will lead and what it will accomplish. We are asked to relinquish the need to control the results of our efforts; to risk, as Jesus did, the loss of everything we are working to achieve. We are asked to let God take the lead and to control the results, even though we may never see those results. The second collection this week is for the Religious Education Program. The September 23 & 30 second collections are designated f or the Fall Appeal for Catholic Schools FAMILY MASS AND PICNIC Please join us for our Family Mass on Sun., Sept. 16 at 9:30am at our Basilica. We will introduce our faculty and they will take the oath of fidelity to catholic teaching. According to our tradition we will also introduce the Advisory School Board and The Home School Assoc. Our annual gathering of students, faculty, parents, grandparents and parishioners will be held from 12noon until 3:00pm at Webster Fish & Game, Route 16, Webster. This event is sponsored by the HSA and Parish Council. On behalf of our parishioner and school administration, I wish the faculty, staff and students a blessed and successful new academic year. SEPTEMBER FALL APPEAL FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS The Annual Catholic Schools Appeal is scheduled for the weekends of Sept. 22/23 and 29/30. The collection this year will be designated for new computers for teachers. They require the most efficient computers to drive the Promethean Boards. Unfortunately, the life span of computers is short and they tend to fail and to repair them is costly and frustrating. Parishes that operate schools retain the collection for their own use. Your September budget packet includes a special envelope for this collection. I deeply appreciate your support, your prayers and your good word for Catholic Education.

If your family s status has not changed, please note on form and return to the rectory. If you are planning on purchasing the Lottery Raffle Ticket ($10 each) sent to you with the census form, we would appreciate your completed ticket stub or if you do not want to support this effort, please return your blank ticket to the rectory so someone who is interested could make use of it. The drawing will be held on Sunday, Sept. 23 after the Memorial Organ Concert in the school cafeteria. 125th Jubilee Mass and Banquet Invitations have been mailed. If you are planning to attend the banquet on Saturday, October 6th at the Elks Club, Auburn, MA following the 3:45 Mass at our Basilica, please return your response card as soon as possible so that we may plan our seating arrangements. Jubilee Celebration Collection-I would like to thank several individuals who this week fulfilled their $1000 pledge. My gratitude goes those who have already completed their goal some time ago, but in the spirit of supporting this celebration still continue to contribute. This collection was established a year ago and the September packet contains the last envelope for this fund. At this time we want to determine if we can afford a new sound system and replace one section of the failing heating system. If you would like to support this project, please make a pledge so that we can plan accordingly. The heating system is extremely important for the upcoming cold weather of New England and a new unit would be a necessary and useful component for our Jubilee Year. JUBILEE BLESSING Reflecting on the history of St. Joseph Basilica, we must acknowledge and gratefully recognize the contributions of various parish organizations in the life of our community. The majority of our organizations have been in existence for more than 100 years. The oldest is the Holy Rosary Sodality which will celebrate their 125th Anniversary next year Sacred Heart Society was established in 1895 St. Anne Sodality began in 1926 St. Joseph Polish Women s Club will celebrate their 60th anniversary in There are several organizations who played an important role in the life of the parish who made significant contributions who no longer exist such as, Society of St. Joseph, Society of King Jan Sobieski and Towarzystwo Kanonierow. Their names are permanently etched on the stained glass windows of our Basilica. Each of these organizations through its charismatic leaders motivated many individuals to sacrifice time, talent and treasure for the good of the Church. Many people deepened their spiritual and cultural life through a variety of catholic services and programs they sponsored. It appears that Polish-Americans have a tendency to congregate for a common purpose. In fact, in Chicago in the 1930 s, the Polish people helped to organize a union of workers and for the first time established a Ladies Auxiliary. Obviously they voted to make donations to the Felician Sisters and helped build a church or school in a particular area. That spirit of solidarity in a common goal attributed to the great success of Polish-Americans despite their financial shortcomings. They were able to build the most beautiful churches throughout our land. I want to thank all our parish organizations for playing an important role in the spiritual, social and cultural landscape of our parish. OUR LADY OF CZESTOCHOWA CHAPEL The expenses for the renovation of Our Lady of Czestochowa Chapel are not funded by the 125 Jubilee Collection. It appears that our parishioners have a great sensitivity and devotion to our Blessed Mother and support this special Chapel. We are grateful for a $500 anonymous donation from a parishioner. This renovation will enhance the Icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa. Frames, new lighting and a chandelier have been ordered and will arrive within a couple of weeks. I appreciate your patience and concern. PATRON SAINT OF SEPTEMBER St. Stanislaw Kostka was born in As a young man he was known for his amiability and cheerfulness of expression, but also for his growing religious fervour and piety and devotion to the Jesuit Fathers at Vienna. Stanislaw s piety infuriated his brother Paul and he suffered Paul s unjust treatment with remarkable stoicism and patience. He threatened to go away and to never return. Stanislaw joined the Society of Jesus. During his short stay with the Society, he fell ill with a burning fever. It is said that he foretold his death a few days before it occurred in He is a popular saint of Poland and many religious institutions have chosen him as the protector of their novitiates. St. Stanislaw Kostka was beatified in 1605 and canonized in ST.

KRONIKA PARAFIALNA DWUDZIESTA CZWARTA NIEDZIELA ZWYKŁA 16 sierpnia 2012 "Pan Bóg Mnie wspomaga, i wiem, że wstydu nie doznam." (Iz 50, 7) Druga kolekta dzisiejszej niedzieli jest przeznaczona na Program Katechetyczny w naszej parafii. Druga kolekta 23 i 30 września będzie przeznaczona na Fall Appeal for Catholic School. Jakże trudno jest przyjąć Chrystusowe wezwanie do codziennego niesienia krzyża. Boimy się, że to ponad nasze siły, nie potrafimy zaufać i uwierzyć, że Pan nie pozostawia nas samym sobie. A przecież On nigdy nie prosi nas o coś, czego nie jesteśmy w stanie zrobić. Zaufajmy Bogu, naszemu Stwórcy, który naprawdę pragnie naszego dobra i szczęścia. On zna nas najlepiej i wie, do czego jesteśmy zdolni. Nigdy nie zostawia nas samych, lecz przez krzyż prowadzi nas do pełni życia.

5 MASZA RODZINNA I PIKNIK Zapraszamy na Mszę Rodzinną dzisiejszej niedzieli na godz. 9:30, w czasie której zostania przedstawieni wszyscy nauczyciele naszej szkoły i złożą przyrzeczenie wierności nauczaniu Kościoła Katolickiego.

Zabrane środki będą przeznaczone na nowe komputery dla nauczycieli naszej szkoły, co pozwoli ułatwić i usprawnić ich pracę a także lepiej wykorzystać tablice interaktywne. Obecne komputery są już stare i coraz częściej się psują, a ich utrzymanie w sprawności staje się coraz bardziej kosztowne. Parafie, w których funkcjonują szkoły katolickie, środki zebrane w czasie wrześniowej zbiórki mogą wykorzystać dla swoich szkół. Pośród kopert na miesiąc wrzesień znajduje się specjalna koperta przeznaczona na te zbiórkę. Dziękujemy za Wasze wparcie, modlitwę w intencji Edukacji Katolickiej.

Do ukończenia prac pozostało jeszcze tylko zamontowanie nowych ram do obrazu i podłączenie nowego oświetlenia. Ramy są już zamówione i otrzymamy je w przeciągu dwóch tygodni. Z wdzięcznością pragniemy zauważyć, że wydatki przy renowacji kaplicy zostały pokryte z ofiar wiernych, którzy mają szczególną cześć dla Matki Bożej, co oznacza, że pośród nas jest wielu ludzi, których sercu Matka Boża jest bardzo bliska.

REFLEKSJA JUBILEUSZOWA Spoglądając na historię naszej parafii nie sposób nie zauważyć wkładu różnorodnych organizacji parafialnych w życie całej wspólnoty. Większość organizacji i grup parafialnych istnie od ponad stu lat. Najstarszą pośród nich jest Holy Rosary Sodality lat isnienia. Kilka organizacji już niestety nie istnie m. in.: Society of St. Joseph, Society of King Jan Sobieski czy Towarzystwo Kanonierów. Członkowie wszystkich tych organizacji poswięcali czas, talenty i srodki dla dobra Kościoła. Wielu ludzi zawdzięcza pogłebienie swojej duchowosci własnie zaangażowaniu tych organizacji. Wyninika z tego, że Amerykanie polskiego pochodzenia potrafia zrzeszć się dla osiagnięcia dobrego celu. Ten duch solidarności w dążeniu do upatrzonego celu w dużej mierze przyczynił się do odoszonych przez naszych rodaków sukcesów, pomimo skromnych srodków finansowych. Dzięki wytrwałosci byli w stanie forsować różnorodne projekty np.: budowę wspaniałych swiatyń. Pragniemy serdecznie podziękować wszystkim organizacjom w naszej parafii za ich bezcenny wkład w kształtowanie duchowosci, kultury i swiadomych postaw społecznych w naszej parafii.
