Friendly reminders Please arrive on time and stay for the entire Mass ( Only one person left the Last Supper early... ), genuflect toward the Blessed Sacrament, join in the singing, listen to the reading, prepare properly for holy Communion and avoid chitchat which distracts others who are connecting with God through prayer before Mass.

DOING GOD S WILL The language of Jeremiah as he addresses his yearnings to God he says, You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be duped (Jeremiah 20:7) indicates a close and personal relationship with God. It is one the prophet obviously cherishes despite the derision and reproach it brings him. In the Gospel, Jesus indicates a similar bond with his Father. In spite of the difficult challenges presented by following God s will, Jesus is not deterred. Giving up our own worldly cares and dreams, even as we accept pain and suffering, is more than a fair exchange for doing the will of God. The only way to do God s will is offer our whole selves to God. As St. Paul writes in the Letter to the Romans: Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind (Romans 12:2a). Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Naśladować Pana Dzisiejsze czytania mszalne zachęcają nas do naśladowania Pana Boga i oddania Mu całego naszego życia. św. Paweł Apostoł w Liście do Rzymian nawołuje: Proszę was, bracia, przez miłosierdzie Boże, abyście dali ciała swoje na ofiarę żywą, świętą, Bogu przyjemną, jako wyraz waszej rozumnej służby Bożej. Tę jego gorącą prośbę dopełnia Jezusowe wezwanie, które odczytujemy ze stron Ewangelii według św. Mateusza: Jeśli kto chce pójść za Mną, niech się zaprze samego siebie, niech weźmie krzyż swój i niech Mnie naśladuje. Wspólnota Kościoła jest zgromadzeniem zwołanych przez samego Pana Boga (grec. ekkaleo, od którego pochodzi słowo ekklesia, czyli kościół ). Właśnie w tej wspólnocie wspieramy się wzajemnie w naśladowaniu Chrystusa. Dlatego też wspólnie uczestnicząc w Eucharystii, szczególnie tej niedzielnej, dajemy żywe świadectwo naszej wiary, które potem przekłada się na nasze powszednie życie. Ks.

September 11: Patriot Day 9/11: Saint Rosalie Church Remembers 911. For years, those numbers simply meant a call for help. Now they also remind us of September 11, 2001, the date of the worst terrorist attack on the United States of America and one of the deadliest days ever on American soil. To mark the anniversary of 9/11 in 2014, we will gathered at St Rosalie at 7:00 pm for the Holy Mass. Many thanks to our parishioners: Mr Ryszard & Mr Adam who unselfishly have painted the front wall of our bountiful church. Serdecznie dziękujemy panom Ryszardowi i Adamowi za bezinteresowne poswiecenie swojego czasu i pomalowanie frontowej sciany koscioła. Mr & Mrs Baginscy for donated new gold plated chalice with paten for our Parish. Panstwu Krystynie i Jerzemu Baginskim za ofiarowanie dla koscioła nowego pozłacanego kielicha. We would like to thank everyone who has been helping our Parish especially those who have been working unselfishly. Dziękujemy za wszelką pomoc i ofiary szczególnie, tym którzy bezinteresownie pomagają przy parafii. 4 Come and Journey With Me Are you thinking about becoming a Catholic?
