INFORMACJE KSIĘDZA PROBOSZCZA Drodzy parafianie i przyjaciele Kościoła Św. Jadwigi. Zakończyliśmy okres Wielkiego Postu i mamy już za nami czas Wielkiego Tygodnia. Dzisiaj śpiewamy radosne Alleluja. Patrząc wstecz zauważamy jak szybko minął czas i jak wiele rzeczy udało się nam zrealizować. Wiem, że stawialiśmy sobie codzienne zadania oraz robiliśmy zarazem duchowe postanowienia poprawy. Każdy z nas może wyliczyć swoje sukcesy i porażki, radości i smutki, dobrze przeżyte dni i zmarnowane okazje. Wielkanoc podpowiada nam jednak patrzeć bardziej w przyszłość i budować nowe jutro. To co za nami, ma być dla nas doświadczeniem, mądrością i zarazem przestrogą na przyszłość. Nie zatrzymujmy się jednak nad naszym wczoraj. Zobaczmy nasze jutro a przez pryzmat zmartwychwstania Jezusa uwierzmy w potęgę Bożej miłości. Nie zatrzymujmy się nad tym co już przeminęło i nie pozwoli się zmienić. Dzisiaj zatrzymajmy się przy pustym grobie i ruszajmy w drogę, aby głosić innym radosną nowinę, że nasz Pan Jezus Chrystus Zmartwychwstał. Zatrzymajmy się przy Jego Słowie i Chlebie, aby z większą wiarą i mocą zacząć budować nasze wspólne i osobiste jutro. Dzisiaj zatrzymajmy się przy drugim człowieku, szczególnie tym który mieszka razem z Tobą w tym samym domu i którego spotykasz w pracy i na ulicy. Przez ostatnie tygodnie pisałem o tym, co robimy i dziękowałem za to, co zrobione. Dzisiaj dziękuję każdemu z Was, że jesteście razem ze mną na tej drodze do pustego grobu i zarazem na drodze do Emaus, aby po raz kolejny spotkać zmartwychwstałego Pana. Dzisiaj dziękuję za dar modlitwy i solidarność serc we wspólnocie naszego Kościoła pod patronatem Św. Jadwigi. Tej ogromnej Bożej mocy i wielkanocnej radości płynącej ze spotkania ze zmartwychwstałym Panem życzę każdemu z Was. Wasz Ksiądz Proboszcz Piotr FROM PASTOR S DESK Dear parishioners and friends of St. Hedwig s Church. We finished the Lenten season and we have Holy Week behind us. Today we sing the joyful Alleluia. Looking back, we notice how time passed quickly and how many things we accomplished in these last months. I know that we took on many daily tasks for improvements and we did, at the same time, make spiritual decisions. Many of us can enumerate our successes and defeats, joys and sorrows, well accomplished days and wasted opportunities. Easter requires us, however, to look more into the future and to build new tomorrows. This is supposed to be for us an experience, a wisdom and at the same time a warning. Let us not forget our yesterdays, however let us see our tomorrows and through the prism of the Resurrection of Jesus let us believe in the power of His divine love. Let us not dwell over what has already passed and will not permit us to change. Today let us stop at the empty grave and let us gather together to preach to others the joyful news that Our Lord, Jesus Christ, rose from the dead. Let us hear His Word, with a greater faith, and the power to begin to build our common and personal tomorrows. Today let us reach out to all mankind, particularly those who live with us and those we meet at work and on the street. Last week I wrote about what we did and I thanked you for your generosity. Today I am grateful that you are together with me on the way to the empty grave and at the same time on the way to Emmaus, once again to meet our resurrected Lord. Today I thank you for the gift of
your prayers and the solidarity of your hearts in the community of our Church under the auspices of St. Hedwig. This huge divine power and the Easter-joy flowing down from the encounter with the resurrected Lord, I wish to every one of you.

Lectors included Michael Boldizar (St. Anne, Garden City), Joseph Guglielmo (St. Mary, East Islip), Albert Matousek (St. Bernard, Levittown), Christopher Quinn (St. Martin of Tours, Bethpage) and Ivan Toro (St. Hedwig, Floral Park). Their ordination to the diaconate is scheduled for 2019. Lectors are permitted to read Scripture, except for the Gospel, in liturgical settings and are expected to increase their knowledge of Scripture so it can be proclaimed with authority.
St. Hedwig"s Faith Formation Program 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. Please come and join us Our class program is held on Thursday: Grades 1-5 from 5:00pm to 6:00pm Grades 6-8 from 6:15pm to 7:30pm Zdrowych, pogodnych Świąt Wielkanocnych, pełnych wiary, nadziei i miłości. Radosnego, wiosennego nastroju, serdecznych spotkań w gronie rodziny i wśród przyjaciół oraz smacznego jajka i wesołego Alleluja. Ks. Piotr Rozek Proboszcz Ks. Pralat Edward Wawerski Ks.
