Piotr FROM THE PASTOR S DESK Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Hedwig s Church. INFORMACJE KSIĘDZA PROBOSZCZA Kochani Parafianie i Przyjaciele Kościoła Św. Jadwigi. Przeżywamy dzisiaj jeden z najpiękniejszych dni obecnego miesiąca. Jest to Dzień Matki. Przy tej okazji należy zaznaczyć, że to Matka Jezusa Chrystusa jest patronką tego miesiąca i dzisiejszego dnia. Jej opiece polecamy wszystkie nasze mamy. Jako Wasz Ksiądz Proboszcz mam szczególną okazję i przywilej podziękować naszym kochanym mamom za dar życia i miłości. Każdej Mamie We are experiencing one of the most beautiful days of the present month. It s Mother's Day. On this occasion, it should be noted that it is the Mother of Jesus Christ who is the patron of this month and today, we recommend all our mothers to her care. As your pastor, I have a special opportunity and privilege to thank our beloved mothers for the gift of life and love. I would like to thank every mother today for the trouble of birth and sleepless nights. Thank you for teaching us how to take the first steps and for the first words we have learned to say. Mothers have always been and are the first teachers in our lives. Regardless of our age today, each of us want to tell you: I love you, Mom. Let's remember our living moms through greetings and every gesture of kindness. May God the Father give our Deceased Mothers life in the Kingdom of Heaven through the intercession of Mary and her Son, Jesus Christ, Happy Mother's Day!!! Your Pastor, Fr. Peter

For any changes please call the rectory TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In Ireland and the United Kingdom, Mother s Day is over. Mothering Sunday was on the Fourth Sunday of Lent. Long ago, people were freed from work to travel on this day to the parish where they were baptized, their Mother Church. Often, people were reunited with their mothers on this day. Employers would release their workers and servants for this visit. The American celebration, while based on this custom, really has to do with an anti-war movement of mothers in Civil War times. They crusaded for better sanitary conditions for their sons. When President Wilson instituted the first Mother s Day in 1912, it was a day to fly the flag in honor of mothers whose children had died in battle. Knowing the tradition is a good balance to our celebration today. We can enfold in prayer the mothers who have suffered the loss of their children in war. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Helping each other One of our parishioners needs help in getting to the chemotherapy appointments. Rides are from Monday-Friday from Jericho Turnpike in Floral Park to Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre. If you are able to help or know someone who can, please contact Brenda at (516) 502 6061. God Bless. CONGRATULATIONS to Joseph Krug who has attained Twelfth Grade First Honors at Cathedral Preparatory School and Seminary. We re very proud of your accomplishments. Keep up your good work.

St. Hedwig s Faith & Formation Program MOTHER Mother is the name for God on the lips and in the hearts of little children. William Makepeace Thackeray Today we celebrate Christ s ascension into heaven and his commissioning of the disciples to carry on his mission in the world. First we hear Luke s description of those events in the opening verses of the Acts of the Apostles. Next we hear words of encouragement and guidance from the Letter to the Ephesians. Finally we hear Mark s account of the Ascension, foretelling the mighty words and acts the Christian community would do in Jesus name. Together these scriptures give us a vision of the mission of the church of Jesus Christ a mission statement of sorts. Like mission statements in our parishes and corporations, this mission statement can help us set priorities and focus our activities. It can guide and support us as we strive to continue Christ s messianic mission on earth. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Modlitewna Grupa Małżeńska Serdecznie zapraszamy na modlitewne spotkania małżenskie-rodzinne.

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.
