W minionym tygodniu świętowaliśmy Dzień Wszystkich Świętych i Dzień Wszystkich Wiernych Zmarłych.Chciałbym przypomnieć, że cały listopad jest miesiącem modlitwy za zmarłych. 11 listopada w Stanach Zjednoczonych mamy Dzień Weterana. Dla wszystkich Polaków 11 listopada jest zarazem Dniem Odzyskania Niepodległości. Wszyscy powinniśmy pamiętać i modlić się za tych, którzy oddali życie za ojczyznę. FROM THE PASTOR S DESK In the past week, we celebrated All Saints Day and the Day of All the Faithful Departed. I would like to remind you that the entire month of November is a month of prayer for our beloved deceased. November 11 is, in the United States, Veterans Day. For all Poles November 11 is, at the same time, Independence Day. We all should remember and pray for these who sacrificed their lives for our countries. Let us remember in our prayers our beloved priests who worked in our community. Please, remember the wonderful nuns who worked in our schools and in our churches. I want, once again, to remind the community of Saint Hedwig that our church was established by very generous people like the first emigrants from Poland, Italy, Ireland and local Americans. We pray for our sponsors and friends of Saint Hedwig Church. May God give all who passed away eternal life in heaven and for those living many blessings. God Bless You All. Your Pastor, Fr. Peter Pamiętajmy w naszych modlitwach o księżach, którzy pracowali w naszej wspólnocie. Warto przypomnieć siostry zakonne, które pracowały w naszej szkole i w naszym kościele. Chcę jeszcze raz przypomnieć, że wspólnota Świętej Jadwigi i nasz kościół istniej dzięki tym, którzy ten kościół wybudowali i przez dziesiątki lat troszczyli się o wszystko. Modlimy się za naszych sponsorów i przyjaciół kościoła Świętej Jadwigi. Niech zmarłym Bóg da niebo a żyjącym swoje błogosławieństwo. Wasz Ks. Proboszcz Piotr

5 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION What is the name of the pope s cathedral? If you said the Vatican, or St. Peter s, you were off by a few miles, since the answer is the Basilica of St. John, the Lateran, the Mother Church of all the churches of the world and the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome. It takes its name from the Lateran family, the Trumps of their day, who somehow ran afoul of the Emperor Nero. He seized all their property, including their vast Roman palace and estate. We don t know how Plautius displeased Nero so badly, but eventually all the Lateran property came to Constantine, the first Christian emperor, through his wife, Fausta. Early in the fourth century, when Christianity was at last legalized, Constantine gave the property to the church. Soon the great meeting halls were expanded and adapted. Over the centuries, the church building has been sacked by armies, ruined by fire, torn down, and rebuilt. The oldest and most unchanged part of the Lateran is a vast, separate baptistery with steps leading down to a huge green basalt pool. Imagine what a triumphal moment the dedication of this public church building was for a community that had worshiped in secret for so long! This Thursday s feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica is really about the tradition of consecrating space for worship, and so by extension, a feast for your parish church building and, given the beautiful second reading, for its baptistery as well. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Our class program is held on Thursday: Grades 1-5 from 5:00pm to 6:00pm Grades 6-8 from 6:15pm to 7:20pm Prayer, Sacraments, Devotions As catechists or religion teachers, we are here to be the helpers in the process of teaching the children about our faith. The family has the greatest influence in shaping the identities of their children. It is in the home where our Catholic identities are formed. Children live by the morals and traditions that they learn at home. We are here to support families in this very important work. When your child attends Mass or prays with you before bedtime they see it as valuable. Praying the Rosary together or attending a special liturgical celebration with family makes it meaningful. Incorporating simple Catholic traditions like Grace before meals to express our gratitude to God goes a long way. The teachers in our program want to encourage families to join us in our Liturgies, Stations of the Cross and celebrations of First Holy Communion and Confirmation throughout the year. As a community of faith we can work together to help the children grow in their faith and love of God and mankind. Mary Ann Dziomba, 6 th grade Catechist Dear Parents, Last year we had local pilgrimage to St. Agnes Cathedral. Many of you encouraged us to go this year for a local pilgrimage as well. This year we plan to go to Immaculate Conception Center in Douglaston, NY (aprox. 20 min. away). The main theme for our pilgrimage is Holiness for everyone.
