October 22 - Memorial of St. John Paul II, Pope. The longest reigning pope in modern history, John Paul II, took his message on the road, visiting 129 countries -- several repeatedly -- on 104 trips and logging more than 700,000 miles in a papacy that lasted more than 27 years. Blessed John Paul died at the age of 84 at the Vatican April 2, 2005, the vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday. As the first non-italian pope in 455 years, John Paul became a spiritual protagonist in two global transitions: the fall of European communism, which began in his native Poland in 1989, and the passage to the third millennium of Christianity. The day of his canonization is Divine Mercy Sunday -- an observance Pope John Paul put on the church's universal calendar in 2000 on the Sunday after Easter. The Polish pope was a longtime enthusiast of the Divine Mercy devotions of St. Faustina Kowalska, whom he beatified in 1993 and canonized in 2000. Pope John Paul also instituted the annual February 2 World Day of Consecrated Life, the February 11 World Day of the Sick and a World Meeting of Families every three years. But welcoming hundreds of thousands of young people to the Vatican for a special Palm Sunday celebration in 1984, Pope John Paul launched what has become the biggest international gathering on the church's calendar: World Youth Day. In his later years, the pope moved with difficulty, tired easily and was less expressive, all symptoms of the nervous system disorder of Parkinson's disease. Yet he pushed himself to the limits of his physical capabilities, convinced that such suffering was itself a form of spiritual leadership. Here are some important dates in the life of Saint John Paul II: 1920: Karol Józef Wojtyła is born May 18, baptized June 20 in Wadowice, Poland. 1929: His mother dies; he receives first Communion. 1938: Moves to Krakow with father; enters Jagiellonian University, joins experimental theater group. 1940: University studies interrupted; he works as manual laborer during World War II. 1941: His father dies. 1942: Enters secret seminary in Krakow. 1944: Is hit by a car, hospitalized; is hidden in archbishop's home to avoid arrest by Nazis. 1945: World War II ends; he resumes studies at Jagiellonian University. 1946: Nov. 1, is ordained priest; goes to Rome for undergraduate studies. 1954: Begins teaching philosophy at Catholic University of Lublin; earns doctorate in philosophy. 1958: Sept. 28, ordained auxiliary bishop of Krakow. 1963: Attends Vatican II second session, is named archbishop of Krakow Dec. 30. 1967: June 28, is made cardinal; named to first world Synod of Bishops but stays home to protest government's denial of a passport to Poland's primate, Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski. 1978: Oct. 16, is elected 264th pope and bishop of Rome; visit to Assisi is first of 146 trips within Italy; visit to a Rome parish marks start of visits to 317 of Rome's 333 parishes. 1979: Visits Dominican Republic and Mexico, his first of 104 trips abroad as pope; also visits Poland, Ireland, United States and Turkey; publishes first encyclical, apostolic exhortation; convenes first plenary meeting of College of Cardinals in more than 400 years; 1981: May 13, is shot, severely wounded; names Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger head of Vatican doctrinal congregation. 1983: Promulgates new Code of Canon Law; opens Holy Year of Redemption; visits would-be assassin, Mehmet Ali Agca, in prison. 1984: Establishes diplomatic relations with United States. 1986: Makes historic visit to Rome's synagogue. 1989: Is widely seen as key figure in collapse of communism in Eastern Europe. 1992: Has benign tumor on colon removed; issues official "Catechism of the Catholic Church." 1994: Declares teaching that women cannot be priests must be held definitively; establishes diplomatic relations with Israel; publishes book, "Crossing the Threshold of Hope"; named Time magazine's "Man of the Year." 1997: Names St. Therese of Lisieux a doctor of the church; presides at synod for America, one of a series of regional synods. 1998: Historic Cuba visit is 81st trip abroad; starts first permanent Catholic-Muslim dialogue. 1999: Unseals Holy Door in St. Peter's to start jubilee year 2000. 2000: Presides at numerous jubilee year events in Rome; makes historic visit to Holy Land. 2003: Marks 25th anniversary as pope; beatifies Mother Teresa of Kolkata, one of record number of beatifications and canonizations under his pontificate. 2005: Publishes new book, "Memory and Identity: Conversations Between Millenniums"; hospitalized, undergoes tracheotomy.

WSZYSTKICH ŚWIĘTYCH I DZIEŃ ZADUSZNY W naszej katolickiej tradycji listopad jest miesiącem poświęconym pamięci zmarłych. W tym czasie pamiętamy szczególnie o naszych zmarłych krewnych i przyjaciołach. W naszej parafii w Dzień Zaduszny Msze Święte będą odprawiane w intencji wszystkich poleconych nam zmarłych. Koperty na ten cel zostały wysłane do Państwa w pakiecie, a dodatkowe można zabrać przy wejściu do kościoła. Świece wotywne będą możliwe do nabycia w weekendy 15-16 & 22-23 października. Rezerwacja bileto w: 1201 339 2070 ext. 12 Jak zapewne jest Wam wiadomo pracujemy nad naprawą dzwonów w naszym kościele. Trzeba wymienić belkę podtrzymującą jeden z dzwonów, ponieważ jest stara i spróchniała. Koszt projektu wynosi około $10000. W czasie wakacje była możliwość złożenia ofiary na ten cel. Ciągle brakuje nam $3000. Jeśli ktoś byłby zainteresowany złożeniem ofiary, w jakiejkolwiek wysokości, imiennie lub anonimowo proszony jest o umieszczenie jej w podpisanej kopercie i wrzucenie na tacę lub przekazanie takiej koperty jednemu z księży. Jeśli będzie takie życzenie ofiarodawców, lista zostanie opublikowana w biuletynie parafialnym. W przyszły weekend członkowie Rycerzy Kolumba (Knights of Columbus) będą kwestowali przy drzwiach kościoła prosząc o datki mające wspomóc ich pracę w programie prawo do życia (Pro Life). Prosimy o łaskawe wspomożenie tej akcji! Jeśli jakiś mężczyzna byłby zainteresowany wstąpieniem do Knights of Columbus może porozmawiać z jednym z kwestujących.
