Jesus Is Buried In The Tomb Mary wrapped her Son in swaddling clothes for the last time. One final kiss to the cold body. She and her friends bid him dobranoc. The body of Jesus lay in the tomb. The spirit of Jesus descended into hell There to open the gates for those that waited for this moment since the beginning of time. Adam and Eve. Moses. Elijah. The Prophets and Patriarchs. Joachim and Anna. Judas was there as well. The kis s that outed Jesus provided him the key to his damnation. Jesus remembered that moment Hail Rabbi! Lucifer knew this day would come. He knew that God truly loved mankind. He now grew more determined to maintain his presence in its midst. The semen vitae aeternae grew in that cold tomb. Its roots penetrated the universe.

PASTORAL MESSAGE JUNE 11 CZERWCA 2006 DON T COME TO CHURCH THIS SUMMER! Look, let s be honest about it during summer vacation, the last thing anyone wants to do is go to church on Sunday. The church is hot and that puts people into a surly mood. We never know what to wear. Are cut-offs and T-shirts OK in church? Even the priest wears sandals The choir is smaller, the servers are irregular, even the lectors sound a little put out from the heat and humidity. The homilies are way too long don t those priests know we have things to do and places to go? The kids have all kinds of sports to play, and after all, this is the number one priority. The beach beckons, and maybe Sunday morning is better for fishing than any other day. Saturday night can be a lot of fun during the summer, and who wants to wake up early Sunday after dragging into the house in the wee hours? When school is out, it just seems natural that everything else is on hold, too. So what if we just cancel church for the summer? Stay home. Don t bother. Go somewhere else. Give us all a break. We can save some money by shutting the place down for a few months and Lord knows, the summer collection sure dips enough to make a shut-down sound attractive! We ll just show up for the weddings already scheduled (and maybe not book any for next summer, just in case) and funerals, but only if the family insists. The hospitals have their own chaplains, so don t call us. Parish organizations can meet in private homes. Skip the bulletin, because there won t be anything to report anyway. SOUND CRAZY? Of course it does. Nobody would seriously ever consider such an inane idea as to shut down a parish church for the summer. But why is it crazy to think of the church being closed to the people for the summer, but it s accepted as normal for the people to be closed to the church during the summer? We are still here. God is still here God, who is worthy of our praise Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. The priests and staff at your parish do not stop serving the people. We are fullservice all year long. Certainly people s schedules get busier during the summer. Frankly, we also enjoy an occasional day at the beach or night at the movies. But as grateful as we are for those who continue to come to Mass so faithfully, it is a bit disheartening when we look out at the congregation and see the extra empty spaces. And, too, the parish checkbook suffers, even though our bills stay constant. This is not why our ancestors fought for independence so long ago, and why so many have died to defend our freedoms since then. Freedom is not only freedom from, it is also freedom for for the praise and worship of our God who loves us and is faithful to us, even in spite of our unfaithfulness. If you know someone who needs a gentle reminder about their summer obligation, take some extra bulletins and pass them on. And have a great Summer! Fr. Michael (First printed 7/8/01, repeated by popular demand.) Chwala Ojcu i Synowi i Duchowi Swietemu! Tydzien po niedzieli zeslania Ducha Swietego obchodzimy niedziele Trójcy Swietej. Bylo zrzadzeniem Pana Boga, ze moje zycie zwiazane jest z kosciolami pod tym wezwaniem. Kosciól cmentarny w mojej rodzinnej parafii w Ulanowie to kaplica Trójcy Swietej. Kilka lat temu zostala podpalona, a teraz odbudowana na nowo. W pierwszej parafii, gdzie pracowalem zaraz po swieceniach kaplanskich (Jaroslaw) i w obecnej parafii (Goessweinstein, diecezja Bamberg w Niemczech), gdzie pracuje od dwóch lat, sa koscioly Trójcy Przenajswietszej. Szczególnie ten ostatni jest kosciolem bardzo pieknym. To wlasciwie bazylika papieska. Jest jednym z piekniejszych kosciolów w calej Bawarii, a jego budowniczym byl Baltazar Neumann, osobistosc znana w historii sztuki. Jako bazylika papieska, kosciól tej rangi ma prawo do noszenia na frontonie emblematu panujacego papieza. Po smierci Jana Pawla II proboszcz byl zmartwiony koniecznoscia wydatków na nowy emblemat. Pewna osloda dla niego byl fakt, ze mial to uczynic dla swojego Rodaka, bo przeciez Benedykt XVI pochodzi z Bawarii. Bazylika ta jest o wiele za duza na potrzeby samych parafian z Goessweinstein. Dlaczego zatem taki duzy kosciól dla liczacej 2000 mieszkanców wioski? Otóz Goessweinstein to miejsce pielgrzymkowe. To lokalne sanktuarium Trójcy Swietej, do którego pielgrzymuja wierzacy w okregu okolo 100 km. Sa tez pielgrzymki autokarowe, które przybywaja z odleglosci wiekszych i od ostatniego roku takze pielgrzymka rowerowa. Goessweinsteinie szczyca sie swoim kosciolem, tym bardziej ze poza nim nie ma tam nic specjalnie interesujacego. (Moze tylko na uwage zasluguje fakt, ze poza franciszkankami i franciszkanami, jest w Goessweinstein równiez jedno zenskie zgromadzenie zakonne protestanckie, co jest pewnym ewenementem w skali calych Niemiec.) Podkreslaja, ze jest to jedno z najwiekszych sanktuariów Ducha Swietego w calych Niemczech. Ale trzeba wiedziec, ze ten rodzaj sanktuariów jest w ogóle rzadkoscia. Tak, do tego sanktuarium przychodza liczne grupy, okolo 140 w roku. Jedni ludzi przychodza tu od lat. Kiedy juz nie moga pieszo, przyjezdzaja autokarami czy samochodami prywatnymi. Pielgrzymowanie do Trójcy Przenajswietszej! Mysle, ze to wspanialy obraz naszego zycia. Z dwóch powodów: po pierwsze dlatego, ze pielgrzymowanie do jakiegokolwiek sanktuarium, czyli miejsca swietego, to obraz naszego zycia w ogóle. A po drugie cel - Trójca Swieta. Tak, nasze zycie jest pielgrzymowanie do pelnego wlaczenia w zycie Trójcy Swietej! Przez chrzest w imie Ojca, i Syna, i Ducha Swietego zycie chrzescijanina juz jest wlaczone w zycie trzech Osób Boskich. Wszystkie sakramenty, które jak wiemy, sa sprawowane w imie trzech Osób Boskich, a szczególnie Eucharystia wzmacniaja to Boze zycie w nas i dodaja sil w pielgrzymce, która jest nasze zycie. Niech nas Bóg blogoslawi i pozwoli kiedys w pelni uczestniczyc w tajemnicy Trójcy Przenajswietszej, która dzisiaj czcimy przez wiare. Chwala Ojcu i Duchowi Swietemu; jak byla na poczatku, teraz i zawsze, i na wieki wieków. Amen. o. Placyd
ST. STANISLAUS ALUMNI REUNION FOLLOW-UP This past Sunday s successful Alumni Reunion began with a beautiful Mass followed by a picnic in the Social Center. As one alumni stated: The celebration of the Mass brought tears to my eyes. The silk banners, the music, the flowers, the sermon, and all the other special touches of our parishioners made the alumni feel very we l- come at our Shrine Church. Although it rained that afternoon, the spirit of the alums never dampened. Afterwards in the Social Center, box lunches, pizza, 50/50 raffles, instant bingos, fun, laughter, and much conversation permeated the event that was attended by 150 former graduates from both our grade school and high school. Our parish has such a rich history as our alums lovingly shared their stories. One alum met another classmate she hadn t seen since she graduated from St. Stan s Grade School. When they met, she said: So, Ralph, what have you been doing for the last 62 years? Thank you to all who made this event special.

STAN S HISTORICAL FACT An article from the student newspaper of St. Stanislaus High School, The Spire, in June of 1947 tells us of the events of the first ever Commencement for St. Stan s High. The first Senior Class was made up of twelve students. The graduating class attended 8 AM Mass on Sunday as a group. A Communion Breakfast was served in the High School. The Pastor, Reverend Vitalis Bartkowiak OFM, presented the twelve graduates with their diplomas at the Commencement which took place at 3 PM in the church. The first graduates were Florence Durdella, Bernice Matuszewski, Michaleen Krajewski, Rosemarie Owsiany, Edward J. Pannent, Joseph Skingel, Richard Wisniewski, Robert Lange, Raymond Gajewski, Raymond Krolikowski, Edward Zeszut, and Donald Lubecki. Underclassmen paid tribute to the outgoing Seniors on May 26 of that year at an entertainment assembly. The Freshman did a presentation of Gilbert & Sullivan s, H.M.S. Pinafore. Oddly enough the very last dramatic production staged at St. Stan s High in the last year of its existence in 1969 was the same, H.M.S. Pinafore.
COMMUNITY NEWS JUNE 11 CZERWCA 2006 PILGRIMAGE TO THE SACRED PLACES OF THE CITY OF STANISLAUS AND JOHN PAUL II Join Fr. Mike Surufka and David Krakowski on a pilgrimage to Krakow to visit sacred places of the city of Stanislaus and John Paul II. Also during the trip, the group will accept the new icon which will be installed at our Shrine Church in Cleveland. The unusually heavy storm and winds of May 31, damaged the copper sheeting of the cupola on our church. In order to prevent any further damage we contracted the repair work for the following Friday. The contractor provided a 200 foot crane to do the job. The total cost of the job was $9,000.00, and all but $1,000.00 (our deductible) was covered by our insurance.
