Some of my peers ask me, How do you celebrate Catholic Schools Week when so many of your students are not Catholic? My goodness, that question always catches me by surprise! Not without a little bit of pride, I run down the list of things we do with our students: weekly Masses, confessions, retreats, veneration of the cross, making sure each child has a rosary, stations of the cross. But beyond these traditional Catholic practices, we at Saint Stanislaus School live and work one of the largest ministries of our parish, that of Catholic education. Our staff seeks to model Gospel values, and in turn teach our students to do the same. We focus on service and community and Scripture as ways of living our faith, and ask our students to do the same. We will spend Catholic Schools Week honoring the many pieces of our Catholic education. We will thank parents for sending their children to us; we show appreciation to the crossing guards and bus drivers who keep the children safe; we challenge our bodies in healthy competition; we test Scripture knowledge with trivia games; we spend time with our faith families, increasing the connection between older and younger students; we let our teachers know that we are grateful for their ministry. During the morning prayer and announcements, the students recite our school pledge that begins with I know Christ and do my personal best. We ask them to have a personal relationship with Christ and use the gifts God gave them to reach their potential. If that s not Catholic education, I don t know what is. Deborah Ann Martin Principal Our schools stay open to serve not because all those attending are Catholics.but because WE ARE! Bishop Anthony Pilla BREAD AND WINE OFFERINGS FOR 2014 As the year is heading to an end we would like to let our parishioners know that there are a few openings for sponsors of the monthly Bread and Wine intention listed in our bulletin. Please contact the rectory to indicate your desire for any specific month for the upcoming year. Your generosity is deeply appreciated! Most immediately, February is still available.

4 Performing a varied repertoire of the highest quality including chant, Renaissance polyphony and music from the 18th through the 21st centuries, the dedicated members of the Women's Liturgical Choir offer music for the Vigil Mass in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, including the Masses following Notre Dame home football games. In addition to the choral responsibilities at the Basilica Vigil Mass, the women sing Sunday Vespers, Advent Lessons and Carols, as well as solemnities, feasts and other special university liturgies. The choir tours each spring. Past tours have included performances in the cathedrals of Arlington, Boston, Chicago, Manchester, Nashville, New York, Oakland, Omaha, Sacramento, San Francisco, St. Louis, Toronto, and Washington, as well as the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, and the Cadet Chapel at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. Bishops Conferences Say Hope is Essential for Peace in the Holy Land WASHINGTON Bishops from Europe, South Africa and North America, gathered in the Holy Land for an annual meeting, said that hope is needed to bring lasting peace to the Holy Land, January 15. Eleven countries made up the 2014 Co-Ordination of Bishops Conference in support of the Church in the Holy Land, which issues an annual statement following their meeting. We urge public officials to become leaders of hope, not people of obstruction, the bishops wrote. They cited the words of Pope Francis encouraging peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians and expressed hope that Pope Francis visit to the Holy Land in May will promote hope in the region. Bishop Richard E. Pates of Des Moines, Iowa, chairman of the U.S. bishops Committee on International Justice and Peace, represented the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops at the gathering. The bishops wrote that they were encouraged by the hope of the people they encountered during the time in the Holy Land, including in Gaza, which they called a man-made disaster. The bishops wrote, As we leave the Holy Land, the bishops and people of the local Church remain in our hearts. They are not alone. Full text of the statement is available online: upload/holy-land-coordination-joint-statement pdf Special Meeting with Diocesan Directors Plan to Come! Directors Terri Preskar and Terrie Baldwin are looking forward to coming to St. Stan s on Monday, February 10 from 7-9 p.m. to speak to us about Stewardship and Evangelization. They have met some of us from the parish and say they hear great things about us let s prove how great we are by having a nice turnout, so they can learn more about our beautiful church, meet more of our amazing parishioners and even catch some of our terrific spirit and enthusiasm plan to come, to learn, to share, and to socialize. Simply being present is a positive act of Good Stewardship and inviting a friend is an opportunity for Evangelization!!. All too often, as we know from experience, people do not choose life, they do not accept the Gospel of Life but let themselves be led by ideologies and ways of thinking that block life, that do not respect life, because they are dictated by selfishness, self-interest, profit, power and pleasure, and not by love, by concern for the good of others. As a result, the living God is replaced by fleeting human idols which offer the intoxication of a flash of freedom, but in the end bring new forms of slavery and death. Where is Elmo (Fr. Joseph)??? In Rzeszów???? from homily of Pope Francis at Mass for Evangelium Vitae Day June 16, 2013

6 Działanie świadka Ewangelii By jednak prawda, dobro i piękno mogły zagościć między ludźmi, potrzebni są autentyczni świadkowie Ewangelii. Zostali oni wybrani spośród wielu innych przez samego Pana. Do nich to nad Jeziorem Galilejskim powiedział: Pójdźcie za Mną, a uczynię was rybakami ludzi. Na odpowiedź nie musiał długo czekać, ponieważ natychmiast zostawili sieci i poszli za Nim. Zadanie świadczenia o miłości spoczywa również na barkach każdego chrześcijanina. Wezwanie Pana powołującego apostołów odnosi się do każdego z nas. Wszyscy bowiem jesteśmy zobowiązani do życia w prawdzie, nierozdzielnie złączonej z miłością. Ta z kolei zawiera w sobie nie tylko słowa, ale przede wszystkim czyny. Święty Paweł postrzegając służbę miłości przez pryzmat krzyża, piętnuje podziały oraz akcentuje konieczność zgody. Pewien młody mnich spytał kiedyś swojego zwierzchnika: Mistrzu, czy to prawda, że o wiele łatwiej jest udawać niż być szczerym? Z pewnością. Ludzie wolą udawać, ponieważ bycie szczerym oznacza całkowite obnażenie się przed samym sobą i przed innymi. Ale czy znasz historię o człowieku tonącym w długach? Nie znam jej. A czemu pytasz? Jest to bowiem opowieść o tym, że o ile trudno jest być szczerym, to czasami wcale nie łatwiej jest coś udawać. Tak więc był sobie człowiek tonący w długach do tego stopnia, że nawet królewski skarbiec by go nie uratował. Człowiek ów zatem zaczął udawać wariata. Oczywiście zdołał wyprowadzić w pole lekarzy, którym przecież i tak trudno jest odróżnić człowieka obłąkanego od zdrowego. Jego udawanie było jednak tak doskonałe, że przekonał o swoim szaleństwie nawet najbardziej podejrzliwych wierzycieli. Pewnego dnia napotkał mędrca, który kiedy tylko go zobaczył, wziął go na stronę i powiedział: Co czynisz? Uważaj! Jeśli będziesz udawał obłąkanego, grozi ci to, że naprawdę się nim staniesz. Oko moje już dostrzega u ciebie oznaki prawdziwego szaleństwa. Człowiek ten zaprzestał szybko komedii, zrozumiał bowiem, jak łatwo stać się tym, kogo się udaje (por. Pierre D Aubrigy, O pułapce). Z własnego doświadczenia wiemy, jak trudno jest żyć w ciemnościach. Wystarczy, że dotykają nas problemy związane z właściwym funkcjonowaniem elektryczności, a natychmiast szukamy innego źródła światła: zapalamy świecę lub używamy latarki. Chcemy w ten sposób zmniejszyć nieprzyjemne odczucie samotności oraz zlikwidować niebezpieczeństwa, wynikające z otaczającego mroku. Chrystus przyszedł na świat, by zostawić nam miłość. W ten sposób wskazał na prawdę, która jest konieczna do nawiązania pozytywnych relacji międzyludzkich. Owo życie w świetle może przynieść tylko i wyłącznie dobre owoce. Dostrzegł to już starotestamentalny prorok Izajasz: Pomnożyłeś radość, zwiększyłeś wesele. Rozradowali się przed Tobą, jak się radują we żniwa. By jednak prawda, dobro i piękno mogły zagościć między ludźmi, potrzebni są autentyczni świadkowie Ewangelii. Zostali oni wybrani spośród wielu innych przez samego Pana. Do nich to nad Jeziorem Galilejskim powiedział: Pójdźcie za Mną, a uczynię was rybakami ludzi. Na odpowiedź nie musiał długo czekać, ponieważ natychmiast zostawili sieci i poszli za Nim. Zadanie świadczenia o miłości spoczywa również na barkach każdego chrześcijanina. Wezwanie Pana powołującego apostołów odnosi się do każdego z nas. Wszyscy bowiem jesteśmy zobowiązani do życia w prawdzie, nierozdzielnie złączonej z miłością. Ta z kolei zawiera w sobie nie tylko słowa, ale przede wszystkim czyny. Święty Paweł postrzegając służbę miłości przez pryzmat krzyża, piętnuje podziały oraz akcentuje konieczność zgody. Człowiek tonący w długach do tego stopnia, że nawet królewski skarbiec by go nie uratował, wpadł na niegodny pomysł. Nie dość tego, że w dotychczasowym życiu postępował nagannie, pozwolił sobie na kłamstwo, mogące przynieść nieodwracalne skutki. Szczęściem dla niego okazało się spotkanie mędrca, dzięki któremu w porę dostrzegł niebezpieczeństwo. I my spójrzmy na nasze postępowanie. Jeszcze jest czas, by rozpocząć wszystko od nowa. Odsuńmy od siebie złudne pokusy łatwego i lekkiego życia. Bierzmy przykład z Chrystusa. Opierajmy się na Nim. Wtedy nasze działanie będzie działaniem na miarę autentycznych świadków Ewangelii. autor: Danuta Szelejewska WOLNE INTENCJE MSZALNE W DNI POWSZEDNIE Wspaniałą tradycją w Kościele katolickim jest pamięć o tych, których kochamy - zarówno żyjących jak i zmarłych - w szczególny sposób podczas Mszy św. Intencja mszalna wymieniona w niniejszym biuletynie jest szczególną intencją, w której modli się celebrans w czasie danej Mszy św. Pragniemy poinformować, że jest wiele nie zarezerwowanych Mszy św. w dni powszednie w najbliższych miesiącach. Last Week (Jan 17-24) as we prayed for Christian Unity "In our world, which hungers and thirsts for truth, love, hope, peace and unity, our witness demands that we should at last be able to proclaim with one voice the good news of the Gospel and to celebrate together the Divine Mysteries of new life in Christ! We are well aware that unity is primarily a gift from God for which we must pray without ceasing, but we all have the task of preparing the conditions, cultivating the ground of our hearts, so that this great grace may be received." Pope Francis In letter to delegation of Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople
