HOT TOPICS St. William St. Cyprian, St. Celestine and St. William Parishes join together to host a series of lectures to discuss Hot Topics in today s challenging society. The first topic, in a series of six, is detailed below. A poster with future topics, dates and locations is on display. Please mark your calendars. We hope you can join us for what we feel will be very attention-grabbing discussion! Tuesday, September 16, 7:00 PM Topic: Does Evil Exist What the Devil is this About? Presented by: Fr. Jeff Grob Hosting Parish: St. William About the Topic: A curious question with an answer rooted in the tradition of the Catholic Church. Does evil exist? Or more precisely, does the Devil exist? Pope Francis regularly makes reference to the Evil One who is at work in our lives, an active component of a broken world. Can this be true? About Fr. Jeff: Fr. Jeff is a native of Cross Plains, Wisconsin. He received a Masters of Divinity degree from the University of St. Mary of the Lake in Mundelein, Illinois, as well as a Licentiate in Sacred Theology. Father Jeff was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Chicago in 1992, and began his studies in canon law at Saint Paul University, Ottawa, Ontario in 1998, earning a licentiate in the spring of On July 1, 2013, Cardinal George appointed Father Grob as Judicial Vicar for the Archdiocese. He also serves as the Archbishop s Delegate to the Review Board which addresses cases of sexual misconduct of minors by clergy. A small reception will follow discussion! LOST & FOUND AT CHURCH If you lose something small at church; a rosary, glasses, umbrella, etc., please check the box in the Usher s room. Small things will be put in there. If you find something, this is not Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers, this is a church where honesty is expected. If you find something, please bring it to the Ushers room, by the bride s room. If you find a wallet or an expensive piece of jewelry, please give it to a priest or sister. Do not keep it. People come back to find their treasures and if it has been taken, that falls into the category of stealing and that is a sin. Please do not steal from your neighbors.

5 St. William OFFICE OF THE ARCHBISHOP Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Next weekend we celebrate Seminary Sunday in the parishes of the Archdiocese of Chicago. On this occasion, we honor the ministry of the many priests who serve you faithfully each day, as well as those who are preparing to serve you with that same charity in the future. In the Archdiocese of Chicago, our seminaries are places where vocations to the diocesan priesthood are discerned and strengthened. Each year, as I ordain the graduates of Mundelein Seminary to the priesthood of Jesus Christ, I do so with the confidence that they have been formed for fidelity and service and are well educated in the Catholic faith. The best example of the work of the seminaries is reflected in the quiet and compassionate ministry of your pastors and parish priests as they live out their ordination commitment each day to bring Christ to you as they preach, teach and administer the Sacraments. I thank them for their good example, and I thank you for your prayers and financial contributions, which provide our future priests with the education and environment they need to prepare well to serve God s faithful. Please pray for those whom God is now calling to the ordained priesthood from among our families and friends. Talk to young men you know whom you think might be good priests, and encourage them to explore the possibility of priesthood. God calls men at different times in life, and there are programs in the Archdiocese to help men of all ages discern their vocation. To learn more about these programs and St. Joseph College Seminary and Mundelein Seminary, please visit the Vocation Office website at: I ask you to especially remember your bishops, your parish priests and our seminarians each day in prayer. You and your intentions are in my own prayers. May God bless you and those you love. Sincerely yours in Christ, Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I.

Brat Albert Adam Chmielowski urodził się 20 sierpnia 1845 r. w Igołomi k. Krakowa. Był najstarszym dzieckiem Wojciecha i Józefy, miał trójkę rodzeństwa. W 1853 r. zmarł mu ojciec, a w czternastym roku życia osierociła go matka. Jako osiemnastoletni student Szkoły Rolniczo-Leśnej w Puławach brał udział w powstaniu styczniowym. W przegranej bitwie pod Mełchowem został ranny, w wyniku czego amputowano mu nogę. Wydostawszy się z niewoli, uciekł do Paryża. Po amnestii w 1865 r. przyjechał do Warszawy, gdzie rozpoczął studia malarskie, które kontynuował w Monachium. Wróciwszy do kraju w 1874 r. tworzył dzieła, w których coraz częściej pojawiała się tematyka religijna. W latach 80-tych powstał jego słynny obraz Ecce Homo, znamionujący zachodzące w nim przemiany. Adam Chmielowski postanowił oddać swe życie na wyłączną służbę Bogu. Wstąpił do Zakonu Jezuitów, jednak po pół roku opuścił nowicjat i wyjechał na Podole do swego brata Stanisława. Tam związał się z tercjarstwem św. Franciszka z Asyżu i prowadził pracę apostolską wśród ludności wiejskiej. W 1884 r. wrócił do Krakowa. Powodowany heroiczną miłością Boga i bliźnich poświęcił swe życie służbie bezdomnym i opuszczonym. Otwierał dla nich przytuliska, aby przez stworzenie godziwych warunków życia ratować w nich ludzką godność i kierować ku Bogu. W 1887 r. za zgodą kard. Albina Dunajewskiego przywdział habit, a w rok potem złożył na jego ręce śluby, dając początek nowej rodzinie zakonnej. Założone przez siebie Zgromadzenia: Braci Albertynów (1888 r.) i Sióstr Albertynek (1891 r.) oparł na pierwotnej regule św. Franciszka z Asyżu. Centrum jego działalności stanowiły ogrzewalnie miejskie dla bezdomnych, które pracą apostolską przemieniał w przytuliska. Nie dysponując środkami materialnymi kwestował na utrzymanie ubogich, czasem sprzedawał namalowane przez siebie obrazy. Oddając się z biegiem czasu coraz pełniej posłudze ubogim rezygnował stopniowo z malowania obrazów, ale przestając być artystą w ścisłym tego słowa znaczeniu stawał się artystą jeszcze pełniej, odnawiając piękno znieważonego oblicza Chrystusa w człowieku z marginesu społecznego i dna moralnego. Zakładał również domy dla sierot, kalek, starców i nieuleczalnie chorych. Pomagał bezrobotnym, wyszukując dla nich pracę. Słynne są słowa Brata Alberta, że trzeba każdemu dać jeść, bezdomnemu miejsce, a nagiemu odzież; bez dachu i kawałka chleba może on już tylko kraść albo żebrać dla utrzymania życia. Ciag dalszy nastapi za tydzien.

Heroicznie kochał Boga i bliźniego. Służbę na rzecz bezdomnych i nędzarzy uważał za formę kultu Męki Pańskiej. Umarł 25 grudnia 1916 r. w Krakowie w opinii świętości. W 1938 r. prezydent Polski Ignacy Mościcki nadał mu pośmiertnie Wielką Wstęgę Orderu Polonia Restituta za wybitne zasługi w działalności niepodległościowej i na polu pracy społecznej. Wyniesienia Brata Alberta do chwały ołta- rzy, zarówno beatyfikacji (1983 r. w Krakowie), jak i kanonizacji (1989 r. w Rzymie) dokonał Ojciec Święty Jan Paweł II, który jest gorliwym jego czcicielem. Relikwie Świętego znajdują się w Sanktu- arium Ecce Homo Świę- tego Brata Alberta w Krakowie przy ul. Woronicza 10.
