Luger COMMUNITY INFORMATION Sacrificial Giving for the Week of June 10, 2018 $3, Second Collection $1, INFORMACJE KSIĘDZA PROBOSZCZA Kochani Parafianie i Przyjaciele Kościoła Św. Jadwigi. Ten biuletyn chcialbym poswiecic Swietemu Janowi Chrzcicielowi. Jak napisal Rev. James Field, to dzień lata i mamy tę zaletę, że w niedzielę tego roku świętujemy jeden z największych ukrytych skarbów naszego kalendarza liturgicznego. W naszym kalendarzu są tylko trzy "narodziny": dla Pana, Matki Bożej (8 września) i dzisiejszego narodzenia baptysty. Dzisiejsza data jest zakotwiczona przez Zwiastowanie (25 marca), kiedy to Maryja uczy się nie tylko o pojawieniu się jej dziecka, ale także o dziecku Elżbiety. Dokładnie pół roku przed Wigilią. Wokół tego święta istnieją silne tradycje. Tak jak zimowe przesilenie zapewnia bogate słownictwo na Boże Narodzenie, tak samo obfitość światła w środku lata informuje o tej uroczystości. Podobnie jak w Boże Narodzenie, festiwal religijny przenika kulturę. Gdy letnie światło osiąga swój szczyt, zalane słońcem strefy północnej Europy widzą ludzi przespanych całą noc, oświetlając "St. John s Fire "w długim letnim zmierzchu. Ogniska wydają się być siłą jednoczącą wszystkie te uroczystości, rozpalone wzdłuż brzegów św. Wawrzyńca w Quebecu i Montrealu, z iluminacjami portowymi we Francji. Możesz być najbardziej zainteresowany zwyczajem w San Juan, Puerto Rico, własnym mieście Baptysty. Ludzie tam będą skakać do morza między północą a świtem, by uczcić Jana. Dlatego moze warto wybrac sie na basen, nad jezioro lub piaszczysta plaze i pogrążyć się, aby przypomnieć sobie swój chrzest? To tradycja! Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Wasz Proboszcz, Ks. Piotr FROM THE PASTOR S DESK Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Hedwig s Church. PETER S PENCE COLLECTION Next week, we will take the Peter s Pence Collection, which provides Pope Francis with the funds he needs to carry out his charitable works around the world. The proceeds benefit our brothers and sisters on the margins of society, including victims of war, oppression and disasters. Please be generous. For more information, visit This week s bulletin is dedicated to St. John the Baptist. It s midsummer day! We have the advantage of celebrating one of the great hidden treasures of our liturgical calendar on a Sunday this year. There are only three nativity feasts on our calendar: for the Lord, the Blessed Mother (September 8), and today s birth of the Baptist. Today s date is anchored by the Annunciation (March 25), when Mary learns not only of her own child s advent, but of Elizabeth s child. We are exactly half a year away from Christmas Eve. There are strong traditions around this feast. Just as the winter solstice provides a rich vocabulary for Christmas, so does the abundance of light at midsummer inform this celeb ration. Just as at Christmas, a religious festival spills over into culture. As summer light reaches its peak, the sun-drenched zones of northern Europe see people staying up all night, lighting St. John s fires in the

4 long summer twilight. Bonfires seem to be the unifying force in all these celebrations, kindled along the shores of the St. Lawrence in Quebec and Montreal, with harbor illuminations in France. You may be most interested in the custom in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Baptist s own city. People there will leap into the sea between midnight and dawn to honor John. Why not find your way to a pool, a lake, or a sandy beach today and plunge in to recall your baptism? It s a tradition! Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Your Pastor, Fr.

For any changes please call the rectory JOHN THE BAPTIST Since June 24 falls on a Sunday this year, the Church has the opportunity for a more intense celebration of the birth of John the Baptist, who is often described as the last of the Old Testament prophets and the bridge between Judaism and Christianity. More commonly, John is known as the precursor of our Lord Jesus Christ. All the Gospels report John s basic message: Repent, the kingdom is near at hand. One greater than I is coming. Though he was a wandering preacher who dressed in camel skins and ate grasshoppers, John s legacy is one of true royalty. His origins are similar to those foretold by God through the prophet Isaiah: You are my servant, he said to me, Israel through whom I show my glory (Isaiah 49:3). John s humility I am not he was surpassed only by that of his Lord Jesus, the humble servant who followed. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. ST.
