Mudryk INFORMACJE KSIĘDZA PROBOSZCZA Drodzy parafianie i przyjaciele Kościoła Św. Jadwigi. Dzisiejsza niedziela jest dla mnie okazją aby podziękować wszystkim za troskę o nasz kościół i za Wasze wsparcie dla mnie i księży w naszej wspólnocie. W tych dniach dobiega końca proces mojej inkardynacji do Diecezji Rockville Centre. To oznacza, że staję się księdzem tej diecezji i zmieniam swój status z visitor na ksiądz Diecezji Rockville Centre. W chwili obecnej moją jedyną diecezją jest ta diecezja i podlegam tylko i wyłącznie tutejszemu biskupowi John O. Barres. Zarazem zostaję w tym samym czasie wypisany z mojej diecezji w Polsce i przestaje być księdzem Diecezji Lubelskiej. Ciesząc się tym faktem zapraszam wszystkich na kawę i ciasto po każdej porannej Mszy Świętej w dniu dzisiejszym. Będą również polskie pączki. FROM PASTOR S DESK. Dear Parishioners and Friends of Saint Hedwig s Church. Today's Sunday is my opportunity to thank you all for the care for our church and for supporting me and priests in our community. In these days, the process of my incardination to the Diocese of Rockville Centre comes to an end. This means that I become a priest of this diocese and I change my status from visitor to the priest of the Diocese of Rockville Centre. From now on, my only diocese is the Diocese of Rockville Centre and I will report to the local bishop, John O. Barres. At the same time, I am no longer a priest of the Diocese of Lublin. Following my good news, I am inviting you all today for coffee and cake after every morning-mass. There will also be polish doughnuts. After 13 years of work in the Diocese of Rockville Centre and in the 6 years of my pastoral work at St. Hedwig, I am glad that I will be able to serve the people and the Church on Long Island. I also direct my gratitude to Bishop Stanislaw Budzik, the Bishop of the Archdiocese in Lublin, for his help and kindness. The diocese in Lublin will always be my first Church and a wonderful place where my roots are and my motherland is. Your Pastor, Peter Po 13 latach pracy w Diecezji Rockville Centre w tym 6 latach pracy w parafii Świętej Jadwigi, cieszę się ze będę tutaj służył ludziom i Kościołowi. Wdzięczność moją kieruję również do mojego Biskupa w Polsce Biskupa Archidiecezji Lubelskiej Stanisława Budzika za pomoc i życzliwość. Diecezja Lublin zawsze zostanie moim pierwszym Kościołem i wspaniałym miejscem, gdzie są moje korzenie i moja ojczyzna. Wasz Proboszcz Piotr

This campaign connects people with Christ, here and around the world in developing countries, through the internet, television, radio, and print media. Fifty percent of funds collected remains in our diocese to fund local communications efforts. Your support helps spread the gospel message! To learn more, visit www,usccb.org/ccc. Homily Helps In today s reading from Acts, Philip, who helped to resolve the food distribution dispute recounted last Sunday, evangelizes Samaria, a positive, Spirit-guided consequence of the persecution and dispersal that followed Stephen s martyrdom. In other words, far from destroying the young church, persecutions expanded the community both geographically and demographically. In Philip s mission and ministry, Acts illustrates the diversification of ministries as the church expanded. In the follow-up visit of Peter and John, we see the simultaneous determination to maintain the visible bond of communion with the apostolic leadership in Jerusalem. The apostles laying-on of hands, imparting the gift of the Spirit, evokes our own bishops parish Confirmation visits. Acts last Sunday and today reminds us that neither turmoil within nor attacks from without should discourage us as we live out our baptismal commitment in the very human community of the Church. LITTLE THINGS Faithfulness in little things is a big thing. --St. John Chrysostom

5 St. Hedwig"s Faith Formation Program The goal of participation in this program is to prepare oneself, as practicing Catholics, to receive the sacraments. Being Catholic is a lifelong endeavor and involves much more than receiving a select number of sacraments. It is a process that continues through one s life and ideally should reflect in one s daily life. Please come and join us. We will do registration in September 10 th, 2017 for the upcoming catechetical school year If you have any questions please contact rectory or Director of Religious Education Christopher Gospodarzec We look for Volunteer Religious Catechists or Assistant Catechists in our church. Please call for more info to Director of Religious Education Early Registration for our Religious Education Program will take place on: May 4th after Mass at 5.30pm in the Rectory. Contact: Christopher Gospodarzec, DRE or parish , Visit us also on the parish website in the link of Faith Formation (Religious School) at: Wniebowstąpienie Pańskie to chrześcijańskie święto upamiętniające wstąpienie do nieba zmartwychwstałego Jezusa Chrystusa w 40 dniu od zmartwychwstania. Po swoim zmartwychwstaniu Jezus przebywał wśród uczniów, po czym Apostołowie udali się na Górę Oliwną, gdzie w ich obecności Jezus uniósł się w górę i zniknął. Wiele o tajemnicy Wniebowstąpienia mówią następujące słowa św. Leona I Wielkiego: "Po błogosławionym zmartwychwstaniu Pana naszego Jezusa Chrystusa, którego wskrzesiła moc Boża dnia trzeciego jako świątynię rozwaloną, dzisiaj najmilsi, upływa dzień czterdziesty, przeznaczony najświętszym wyrokiem dla naszego pouczenia, aby widokiem zmartwychwstałego ciała umocniła się wiara nasza... Zaiste wielka i nieopisana była przyczyna szczęścia Apostołów, kiedy widzieli, jak na oczach tłumu wstępowała natura rodzaju ludzkiego ponad wszystkie stworzenia niebieskie, bijące godnością chóry aniołów, a nawet ponad zastępy archaniołów się wznosząc i dochodząc do granic Bóstwa - bowiem Syn Boży ją sobie poślubił. Dlatego wyniesienie Chrystusa jest równocześnie i naszym także wyniesieniem: co bowiem pochodzi z Głowy, spada i na ciało. Dzisiaj bowiem nie tylko zostaliśmy umocnieni w posiadaniu nieba, lecz wznieśliśmy się wyżej dzięki łasce Chrystusa, niż utraciliśmy przez zazdrość szatana. Jak bowiem zawzięty nieprzyjaciel zrzucił nas z posiadłości niebieskich, tak nas jako braci swoich syn Boży społem po prawicy Ojca umieszcza".
