3 From the Pastor s Desk My Dear Parishioners! As with every year we are getting closer to the start of the Annual Catholic Appeal 2018 (28-29 January and 3-4 and February). The motto of this year s campaign is the saying of the Lord Jesus: "Follow Me"! These words of Jesus refer to each and every one of us. We are called to build the Kingdom of God here on Earth, and we are responsible for our Church, which has always been for better or for worse Our Home ". With the faith and Christian joy we should each day call out to the divine master of Nazareth: "Lord, it is well that we are here"! All of us in our parish community should be: "the light of love, the bread of peace and the wine of friendship"! I ask you for the gift of constant prayers for the Annual Catholic Appeal and with great humility, I ask you for your generosity. This year, the Archdiocese s goal for our parish is $53, Because of your generosity, the last year s goal has not only been met but was even exceeded by $14, The Archdiocese returned this surplus to our parish. I believe that this year we will also, not just meet our goal but exceed it. May the good God richly bless you and your families. I truly appreciate your zeal, goodness, and generosity! During last year we have done many improvements, which actually transformed our church into a beautiful place of worship. In the near future, preferably even before the Fish Fry Fridays, I would like to "install new 3 televisions (HD) in Rogers Hall. The old televisions often break down and are very heavy. Therefore, I m looking for sponsors. The cost of these televisions is approximately $1, and donations, as always are tax-deductible. I trust that we have in our parish people of good will who and support my initiative! With help from Mrs. Marie Shipman, on February 4th, we will have the best in the world Cream Pie sale. Profit from their sale will cover part of the cost of the ceramic tiles for the main aisle of the church. Individuals, who would like to make a donation toward this project, please contact me or the parish office. We will have a special plaque made with names of all donors. I would like you to thank all of you again for your Christmas gifts to the parish of St. Albert the Great. The total sum of your donations was $53, May God bless you for your material gifts to our parish, where every week thousands of God s faithful gather for worship. I am very proud of you and embrace you with my priestly zealous prayer. Jesus I Trust in You! Fr. Mariusz Our Weekly Offering January 14, 2018 $14, :00PM $1, :15AM $ :30AM $1, :00AM $1, :30AM $2, :00PM $1, :30PM $1, :00PM $ :30PM $ Mail In $ Church in Latin America $4, Christmas Offering $53, May God Bless all who support our parish! Page 3 Please Make Your Gift to the 2018 Annual Catholic Appeal Come, Follow Me During the last few weeks, many parish families received a letter from Cardinal Cupich requesting your participation by making a pledge to the 2018 Annual Catholic Appeal. We ask that you respond as generously as possible. The Appeal supports both Parish and Archdiocesan ministries and services. The Appeal funds services that are of great help to ministries here in our Parish. This year, the theme of the Appeal is Come, Follow Me. We have all received God s love. By financially supporting the ministries and services funded by the ACA, we help to extend God s love to many, many others. As you review the mailing from Cardinal Cupich, please note the ministries and services funded by the Appeal, including the ones that directly support the work of our parish. Then please give generously. Note, when our parish reaches its goal of $53, in paid pledges, 100% of the additional funds received will be returned to us for use in our Parish. 2nd Collection next weekend will be for the maintenance of the parish buildings and grounds. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Presentation in Roger s Hall On February 6PM All Parish children and parents are welcome. Everyone is invited! See our website for more information: For more information please call: / Facebook: StAlbertTheGreatCatholicSchool THE DEMANDS OF DISCIPLESHIP Today we encounter readings that already have a Lenten feel about them. Nineveh undergoes a forty-day fast, the psalmist reminds us that God alone can show sinners the way, Paul shows us how fleeting the things and events of this world are, and Jesus cries out Repent! before he calls his new followers. Come after me, Jesus says, but if we are to truly live out the commands and demands of our discipleship through baptism, we must first know our need for conversion, our repentance, our need to believe in the gospel fully. Today s Gospel opens with the stark reminder of what befell John the Baptist for completely living out his vocation as the herald of Christ and the gospel: he was arrested, imprisoned, and martyred. Though few of us will experience consequences that extreme, we must all be ready to risk some sort of rejection as, heeding the call of Jesus, we live out the kingdom of God at hand, repent of our sins, and believe in the good news of salvation. February 3rd & 4th after each Mass we will have for sale our parish famous Cream Pies! Your support will be greatly appreciated. E n j o y! St. Albert the Great Sacred Heart of Jesus Eucharistic Adoration Chapel is open Monday - Saturday 8:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. Parishioners are needed to commit ONE HOUR per week. Anyone in our parish that is sick or homebound, and would like to receive Holy Communion, please call the parish office and request a visit from the Minister of Care.

5 Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza Moi Drodzy Bracia i Siostry! Jak co roku zbliżamy się do rozpoczęcia corocznej Kwesty Katolickiej 2018 (28-29 styczeń oraz 3-4 i luty). Hasłem przewodnim tegorocznej kwesty sa słowa Pana Jezusa: Pójdź za Mną! Te słowa Jezusa odnoszą się do każdego i każdej z nas. Jesteśmy powołani do budowania Królestwa Bożego na ziemi oraz jesteśmy odpowiedzialni za Nasz Kościół, który zawsze na dobre i na złe powinien być naszym najlepszym Domem. Z wiarą i chrześcijańską radością powinniśmy każdego dnia wołać do Boskiego Mistrza z Nazaretu: Panie, dobrze, że tu jesteśmy! Każdy z nas w swojej wspólnocie parafialnej powinien być: światłem miłości, chlebem pokoju i winem przyjaźni! Proszę Was o dar nieustannej modlitwy w intencji Dorocznej Kwesty Katolickiej oraz z wielką pokorą proszę Was o hojność na jej rzecz. W tym roku Archidiecezja Chicago wyznaczyła nam cel zebrania w ciągu roku 53, $. Jestem Wam ogromnie wdzięczny za to, że w ostatnim roku nasz cel nie tylko został osiągnięty, ale został nawet przekroczony o 14, $. Nadwyżka finansowa została nam zwrócona przez Diecezję. Wierzę, że i w tym roku nasz cel zostanie nie tylko osiągnięty, ale być może nawet go przekroczymy! Niech Dobry Bóg obficie Wam i Waszym Rodzinom błogosławi za okazaną przez Was gorliwość, dobroć i hojność! W ostatnim roku odnowiliśmy także salę pod kościołem tzw. Rogers Hall. Chciałbym w najbliższym czasie, najlepiej jeszcze przed obiadami rybnymi Fish Fry Friday s zainstalować nowe 3 telewizory (HD). Stare telewizory często się psują oraz są bardzo ciężkie. Szukam więc sponsorów. Koszt tych telewizorów to około 1, $. Osoby zainteresowane proszę o kontakt ze mną lub z kancelarią parafialną. Kupując je lub składając donację na ten cel możecie w przyszłości odliczyć sobie ten wydatek od podatku. Ufam, że znajda się ludzie dobrej woli i wesprą moją inicjatywę! 4 lutego będziemy mogli zakupić najlepsze na świecie kremówki p. Marii Shipman (Albertynki). Zysk ze sprzedaży kremówek zasili dzieło pokrycia kosztów związanych z położeniem specjalnych ceramicznych płytek w głównej nawie kościoła. Rodziny czy też osoby indywidualne zainteresowane złożeniem donacji na nowe płytki także proszę o kontakt ze mną lub kontakt z biurem parafialnym. Wszyscy ofiarodawcy zostaną umieszczeni na specjalnej tablicy pamiątkowej. Jak już wcześniej wam zapowiadałem dzisiaj podaję Wam do wiadomości wysokość specjalnej składki świątecznej. W tym roku wyniosła ona: 53, $. Bóg zapłać za wasz materialny dar dla naszej parafii, w której cotydzień gromadzi się tysiące wiernych. Jestem z Was bardzo dumny i ogarniam Was wszystkich moją kapłańską gorliwą modlitwą. Jezu, ufam Tobie! Fr. Mariusz Page 5 Prosimy o złożenie ofiary na rzecz Dorocznej Kwesty Katolickiej 2018 r. Pójdź za mną! Doroczna Kwesta Katolicka wspiera w takim samym stopniu parafialne programy duszpasterskie jak i programy na szczeblu archidiecezjalnym. Fundusze z Kwesty są wielką pomocą w podejmowaniu wielu zadań i działań duszpasterskich w naszej parafii. W tym roku, motywem przewodnim są słowa: Pójdź za mną. Wszyscy otrzymaliśmy Bożą miłość. Przez finansowe wspieranie duszpasterstw i posług utrzymywanych przez Kwestę pomagamy w przekazywaniu Bożej miłości tak wielu, wielu osobom. Prosimy zauważyć, że jeśli nasza parafia zbierze kwotę docelową w wysokości $53, w spłaconych zobowiązaniach, to 100% dodatkowo zebranych funduszy, zostanie zwrócona naszej parafii, do wykorzystania na niezbędne potrzeby parafii.

What looks like a beautiful narrow brick mansion alongside a canal is a clever disguise for a very well-preserved seventeenth-century home and a secret church. During the Reformation, the Netherlands was divided into Protestant Holland and the Spanish Netherlands, now known as Belgium, a Catholic stronghold. Protestant reformers seized all the Catholic parishes in Holland and de-catholicized them. New laws forbade the celebration of the Mass in public. St. Nicholas Church was renamed Old Church by the new owners, and the dispossessed Catholics got to work hiding St. Nicholas Parish in the upper floors of this mansion. Other Catholics did the same thing, but this is the only hidden church that survives today. Sunday Mass is still celebrated here. It s a beautiful hideaway, with nothing spared in regard to marble, gilding, a pipe organ, and classic Dutch painting. A few steps away, the Old Church, begun in 1250, stands emptied of the statues and carvings of its Catholic days, its windows replaced by plain glass. The new tenants gave up when it came to the ceiling, which is still painted with saints, biblical scenes, and merchant ships. The Dutch reformers were tolerant sorts, and as long as the Catholics kept out of sight, they were out of mind. Catholicism was at last tolerated in Holland after 1853, but in 1924 when the International Eucharistic Congress was held in Amsterdam, processions of Catholics were still forbidden in the streets. Today, Roman Catholics are about 19 percent of the population, and there s no need for any of them to hide in the attic. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
