Please join us as we start the new season. The Spiritual Life committee will again be offering an opportunity to read an outstanding Catholic/Christian book and discuss it with other parishioners in a faith sharing format. The sessions will begin on Tuesday, September 18, after the 9am Mass and will continue every other week for 5 sessions. The book that will be read and discussed is another Henri Nouwen book, The Return of the Prodigal Son, a very highly recommended book that is listed among the 25 books that every Christian should read. Please call JoRene Anderson ( ) if you have further questions. Special Blessing For Our Catechists This Sunday we bless our catechists: Religious Education teachers, SPRED volunteers and Baptismal and Marriage Preparation Ministers.

Your feedback is needed as we consider plans for the 2019 Super Bowl party. Since leadership has changed it will take the full commitment of the Men's Club to insure another successful Super Bowl event. We need your ACTIVE VOICE on September 19th. Other discussion topics include: September timetable for the VETERANS EXITING HOMELESSNESS collection, the November turkey raffle (you must be present at the September-November meetings) and a short Chicago memory quiz. I look forward to seeing you on September 19th. Gerald Gregory Sample memory question----name all five of River views' roller coasters. VETERANS EXITING HOMELESSNESS COLLECTION The Men's' Club is again participating in this years Veterans Exiting Homelessness program. When a veteran leaves a shelter and moves into a permanent residence, the apartment often lacks basic household supplies (think dollar store items). During all the masses on Saturday & Sunday, September you are asked to bring some of these household supplies with you. A complete list of these supplies will be provided next weekend. This is a wonderful opportunity to help our veterans and thank them for their service. Please mark your calendar and bring some much needed household supplies with you on the weekend of September 30th. NOTE: Last fall we collected over $2500 in basic household supplies. Gerald Gregory Klub Mężczyzn ponownie w tym roku powtórzy zbiórkę dla programu Veterans Exiting Homelessness. Kiedy weteran opuszcza schronienie i przenosi się do stałego miejsca zamieszkania, mieszkanie to często nie ma podstawowych artykułów gospodarstwa domowego. W weekend 30-go września prosimy o przyniesienie nawet jednej rzeczy choćby ze sklepu jednego dolara. Pełna lista potrzebnych artykułów zostanie umieszczona w następny weekend. To jest wspaniała okazja aby pomóc naszym weteranom i podziękować im za ich poświęcenie. W zeszłym roku zebrane zostało artykułów na sumę $2,500.

3 PICNIC THANK YOU!!! A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to everyone who attended this year's annual parish picnic. This year, the goal of our picnic was to raise funds to cover the cost of much needed new tables for our parish hall tables, 20 6 tables, and 5 4 tables were purchased at a price of $1,600. I am happy to report that the profit from the picnic was $7,500! Another great news is that the Wells family, hearing of our need for the tables, donated $5,000! This same family donated funds for our new stove last year. I am very appreciative and humbled by the generosity from this family as well as from so many of you. God Bless you all. To make an event such as the parish picnic run smoothly, MANY, MANY hands are needed. Thank you to the picnic committee and to all volunteers: our cooks, food servers, ticket sellers, running of the kids games, bingo and raffles. Thank you to all who came on Saturday evening and Sunday morning to help with the set-up and stayed to clean up after the picnic. Of course, all this work would not bear great fruits if it was not for all who attended the picnic. THANK YOU TO ALL! As always, a sincere thank you goes to Adam Wojcik from the RANGERS BAND for providing live entertainment. Thank you to the Mount Prospect Police and Fire departments for coming out once again, and to Dariusz Buchart for saving memories from that day on film. To all VENDORS thank you for making our first Craft Fair so interesting and diverse. THANK YOU to our main sponsors: Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union and Wally's Market. Generous donations were also received from: Glenview State Bank, Hyatt Regency Schaumburg and Brookdale Senior Living Solutions. Please support these businesses. Also, thank you to all the bakers for extra tasty donations for the dessert table, for all bingo prizes, to a certain family for donating the potato pancakes, and my 3 Lotto instant scratch jars were a great hit. The committee and I have asked the parishioners for help and all of you have responded with great generosity and in great numbers. I am extremely grateful. Thank you and see you next year! Fr. Chris Picnic Grand Raffle Winners / Zwyciężcy Głównej Loterii Halina Mryczko Eileen Hinchliffe Pino Cisternino SERDECZNIE DZIĘKUJĘ wszystkim, którzy wzięli udział w tegorocznym pikniku parafialnym. W tym roku celem było zebranie funduszy na pokrycie kosztów nowych stołów do naszej sali parafialnej. Zakupione zostało 20 8 stopowych, 20 6 stopowych i 5 4 stopowych stołów w cenie $1,600. Z przyjemnością informuję, że dochód z tegorocznego pikniku wyniósł $7,500!!! Kolejną wspaniałą wiadomością jest, iż rodzina Wells słysząc o naszej potrzebie nowych stołów, ofiarowała nam $5,000! Jestem bardzo wzruszony hojnością tej rodziny tak jak i wielu z Was. Bóg Zapłać. Aby piknik sprawnie się odbył, potrzeba było wiele, wiele rąk. Dziękuję członkom komitetu i wszystkim wolontariuszom: kucharkom i kucharzom, obsłudze kuchni podczas pikniku, sprzedającym kupony, pomagającym przy zabawach dla dzieci, loteriach i przy bingo. Dziękuję wszystkim, którzy pomagali w ustawianiu placu pikniku w sobotę wieczorem jak również w niedzielę rano i przy sprzątaniu po pikniku. Oczywiście, cała ta praca nie przyniosłaby owoców gdyby nie wszyscy uczestnicy pikniku. Jeszcze raz serdecznie Wam wszystkim dziękuję. Specjalne podziękowania kieruję w stronę Adama z RANGERS BAND, który ponownie świetnie nas bawił swoją muzyką. Dziękuję policji i straży pożarnej z Mount Prospect jak również Dariuszowi Buchart za piękne zdjęcia. Dziękuję wszystkim biznesom, które wzięły udział w naszych pierszych targach, za ich liczność i różnorakość. Dziękuję naszym głównym sponsorom: Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union and Wally's Market. Otrzymaliśmy także hojne donacje z: Glenview State Bank, Hyatt Regency Schaumburg i Brookdale Senior Living Solutions. Proszę o popieranie tych biznesów. Pyszne desery, nagrody na bingo, placki ziemniaczane sponsorowane przez pewną rodzinę i moja donacja 3 zestawów zdrapek loterii stanu Illinois cieszyły się wielką popularnością. Jestem bardzo wdzięczny za wszelką hojność, Bóg zapłać i do zobaczenia na następnym pikniku. Ks. Krzysztof September 16, 2018 Twenty Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time l 3

Informacji udziela Anna: poloniaensemble.com FB poloniaensamble 10 l Welcome to St. Thomas Becket Catholic Parish Community Question: Why do we celebrate Catechetical Sunday? Answer: The mission of the church reflects the mission of Jesus to teach, preach, heal, and forgive. Through these acts, Jesus shares the good news of salvation and invites all people to share in the life and love of God. The church continues this mission in all its ministries, but especially, and perhaps most importantly, through catechesis. Catechetical Sunday is celebrated on the third Sunday of September. The task of handing on the Gospel is entrusted to the whole community, who by word and example, form young and new members in the way of the Gospel. Parish programs assist parents in teaching the basics of faith through liturgical experience, instruction, and faith formation. This ministry is essential for the parish to grow, for individuals to develop as believers, and for the ongoing spiritual formation of the whole community. It reminds the church that preaching the Gospel and growing in faith are essential to our sacramental practice and our liturgical prayer. On this Sunday, we recognize those who are called to be teachers and ask for God's blessing and grace.
