2 FROM OUR PASTOR... Dear parishioners: This is not a farewell letter. That will come later. My writing is to update you on some important parish information and progress. It is a fact that I will be leaving at the end of June, and there are still some projects and tasks necessary for presentation to the parish. Parish facilities: we are in the process of replacing the light pole in the parking lot. The monies received from the insurance for replacement will cover the costs of a new pole and the refurbishing of all new fixtures with cost effective LED lighting. The new fixtures will replace all outdoor fixtures in the parking lot, rectory, hall and around the church. Furthermore, we hope this enhances the security of our property while preserving the church s beauty. Church HVAC: our heating and air conditioning system is upgraded and new registers will be completed and ceiling repainted. A new exhaust fan was installed for the church. Church Building: we are in the process of securing a contract to seal the outside bricks of the church building. At this time minor tuck-pointing is needed to repair certain areas. After testing, the common brick responds well to moisture absorption and release levels. The cost effective measure at this time is to repair and seal and wait for the next 5-7 years. Please remember to support our parish s monthly collections for the Building Fund. This helps to fulfill our obligations for most of the maintenance issues during the year and the summer projects. As I move on our parish will be in transition. This is natural. Fr. Chris Kulig will take over as pastor the administrative responsibilities with the staff. During this time it will be down a staff member. Recently, I hired Krystyna Maciorowski to help in this transition, to help Liz, the whole staff and me, to maintain our ability to serve the parish and its people. Krystyna comes with many gifts and skills to help serve the parish from a professional and pastoral background. Summer is fun: since the weather will be warmer our air conditioner will be fully operational. Please, Please, Please do not leave the doors open when you come to church. Please be sensitive that the unit is running every weekend and it is there to cool down the church in a specific time. Too often the doors remain wide open before and after Masses and the unit has to operate longer in response to cool down the church building. Also, please be sensitive to the apparel you wish to adorn your bodies. I personally like the beach and wear as little as possible when I go. However, when in church please be sensitive to the decorum, that this is a church gathering and many people are present here for a prayer and worship. If you come dressed to the beach (shorts etc.) you better have enough suntan lotion for us all! The issue is to prepare your heart and mind that you are attending a communal gathering of prayer and worship. Gods Choicest Blessings, Fr. Ed 2 l Welcome to St. Thomas Becket Catholic Community

3 Drodzy parafianie, To nie jest mój pożegnalny list. Na to przyjdzie pora później. Piszę aby powiadomić Was o ważnych informacjach i postępach w parafii. Faktem jest, że opuszczam już pod koniec czerwca, ale nadal są pewne projekty i plany niezbędne do przedstawienia w parafii. Budynki Parafialne: jesteśmy w trakcie wymiany złamanego słupa ze światłem na parkingu. Pieniędze otrzymane z ubezpieczenia pokryją koszty nowego słupa i wymiany wszystkich lamp z nowymi energo-oszczędnymi oświetleniemi typu LED. Nowe lampy będą wymienione na parkingu, plebanii, sali parafialnej i wokół kościoła. Mamy nadzieję, że to oświetlenie zwiększy bezpieczeństwo wokół naszych budynków i jednocześnie zachowa piękno naszego otoczenia. Ogrzewanie/ochładzanie kościoła: nasz system ogrzewania i ochładzania jest zmodernizowany i nowe kratki na suficie kościoła zostaną zainstalizowane po odmalowaniu sufitu. Nowy wentylator wyciągowy został zainstalowany w kościele. Kościelny budynek: jesteśmy w trakcie podpisania umowy w celu uszczelnienia zewnętrznej cegły na budynku kościoła. W tej chwili potrzebne jest drobne uszczelnienie by naprawić pewne miejsca. Po przeprowadzeniu testów, nasza cegła dobrze reaguje na poziom absorpcji wilgoci. Zaoszczędzimy koszty gdy teraz naprawimy i uszczelnimy uszkodzone miejsca. To zabezpieczy nasz budynek na kolejne 5-7 lat. Proszę pamiętać o wspieraniu naszych miesięcznych składek na Fundusz Remontu Budynków Parafialnych. Ofiary te przyczynią się to do realizacji wszelkich napraw w czasie roku a szczególnie w letnich projektach. Nasza parafia znajduje się obecnie w okresie przejściowym w związku z moim nadchodzącym odejściem z parafii. To jest naturalne. Ks. Krzysztof Kulig przejmie obowiązki proboszcza i administracje parafii wraz z pracownikami parafii. W tym czasie nasze biuro będzie miało jednego mniej pracownika. Zatrudniłem Krystynę Maciorowski aby pomogła nam w tym okresie przejściowym, do pomocy w biurze i wszystkim pracownikom w obsłudze parafii i naszych parafian jak również i mnie. Krystyna ma wiele talentów i umiejętności oraz profesjonalne i duszpasterskie wykształcenie i doświadczenie. Lato jest czasem zabawy: ponieważ pogoda będzie coraz cieplejsza, nasza klimatyzacja w kościele będzie cały czas włączona. Proszę, proszę, proszę nigdy nie zostawiać otwartych drzwi na oścież. Proszę być wrażliwym na to, że nasz system pracuje w każdy weekend i ma ochłodzić kościół w określonym czasie. Zbyt często drzwi pozostają otwarte przed i po Mszach Św. i klimatyzacja musi pracować znacznie dłużej aby ochłodzić budynek kościoła. Także, proszę zwracać uwagę na ubiór w jakim przychodzimy do kościoła. Ja osobiście bardzo lubie plażę i nosić jak najmniej, kiedy tam idę... Jednak, gdy jesteśmy w kościele należy być wrażliwym na przyzwoitość, że jest to spotkanie w kościele i wiele osób tu przychodzi na modlitwę i liturgię. Jeśli przyjdziesz ubrany jak na plażę (np. szorty itp) to przynieś wystarczająco kremu do opalania dla nas wszystkich! Najważniejszą kwestią jest aby przygotować swoje serce i umysł na to, że bierzemy udział w zgromadzeniu modlitwy i czci. Życzę Wszelkiego Bożego Błogosławieństwa, Ks. Edward To make our Mass time more prayerful and sacred for all, please try to observe these simple rules. Abyśmy wszyscy mogli pobożnie i z należytym szacunkiem uczestniczyć we Msze Św., przypominamy i prosimy serdecznie o przestrzeganie poniżej wkazanych reguł. May 31, 2015 Most Holy Trinity l 3

He offers us the chance to drink from His cup. In the Eucharist, we meet Christ personally and, if we listen to Him, we know what drinking from His cup means for each of us. Often, it means our own sacrifice giving up some of our time, talent and treasure to do His work on earth. Totals from May 24th collection will be published at a later date. Second collection next weekend will be for the Building Fund. Druga kolekta w następny weekend przeznaczona będzie na remont budynków parafialnych.

It's easy to take this formula for granted. Every time we attend Mass, we make the sign of the cross and say "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Many of us also make the sign of the cross before meals or to begin our personal prayers. Because we are so used to hearing this Trinitarian reference to the one God in three Persons, we might tend to gloss over its significance. But today, on the feast of the Most Holy Trinity, we stop to remind ourselves what this really means. We might begin by remembering that Christianity is absolutely unique in its belief in the Trinity. No other religion claims such a remarkable doctrine--that God is one in three. And it's important to understand that Christians didn't make this up; it was revealed to us directly from Christ himself. As we hear in today's Gospel, and elsewhere throughout the four Gospels, Jesus taught about this mysterious union of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we follow what he taught. Perhaps the most beautiful part of this great mystery of God's nature is what it means for us. We believe in a God whose very essence is made up of loving relationships between three divine Persons. It follows that, as people made in God's image (cf. Gn 1:27), we are to live in loving relationships. We are made to love: to love God, to love one another, and to love ourselves. Our God is not a force, a power, or an idea. Our God is a personal God who loves each of us and calls us to do the same.
