Zawsze bardzo się raduję, kiedy wyjeżdżacie na kilka czy kilkanaście dni, aby odpocząć i nabrać sił. Chcę jednak przypomnieć, aby pamiętać w ciągu wakacji o Panu Bogu.

Dear Parishioners and Friends of Saint Hedwig s Church. For a few days now we are able to enjoy summer and vacation. I am always happy, when my parishioners get to enjoy several days of rest. However I want to remind you to remember our God during this time. Please make Sunday Mass a part of your summer vacation schedule. Today I would like to summarize what we did in our community within last months. 1. The purchase and the installation of new mobile partitions in the Parish Centre on the school-floor (the completion of the project). 2. The final works on the organ loft (stage). 3. The purchase, renovation and installation of the sound system for the organ loft (stage). 4. The painting and the installation of the protective rail (organ loft). 5. The purchase and installation of the information board with the name of the parish in the front of the church. 6. The purchase and the installation of new announcement boards in the entry to the church. 7. The renewal and painting of frames and ornamental elements at the main entrance to the church. 8. The painting of walls inside the church below windows.
You can see the presentation of these projects on our parish Website. Thank you all very much for the financial support and your prayers. Your Pastor, Fr. Peter THE RICHNESS OF LIFE IN CHRIST Today we have the beautiful story of the woman promised a child, the wonderful exhortation about life in Christ, and a powerful instruction from Jesus. An embarrassment of riches? Not if we take Jesus' words about "welcome" to heart. The many challenges and blessings offered to us today by Elisha, Paul, and Jesus should be cause for rejoicing, and welcomed heartily into our lives. And, like the great treat that they are, they should be enjoyed and shared generously with others. Today's reading from Romans was chosen very early in the liturgical life of the Church to be the sole apostolic instruction received by candidates for baptism at the Easter Vigil. This illustrates its importance as a core belief, and as a means of comprehending the story of the Resurrection. Christ's resurrection is not merely a story about something that he underwent once upon a time, but it is our story, the story of how we joined the other members of the one Body of Christ, the church. We were not only dead, but we were buried; not ultimately buried, but raised to eternal life with Christ. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Polsko-Amerykanskie Muzeum zaprasza na Wystawe Otwarta Pod Patronatem Prezesa Rady Ministrow Beaty Szydlo Armia Andersa-Szlak Nadziei W 75 rocznice podpisania ukladu Sikorski-Majski 16 Belleview Avenue Port Washington, NY, 11050 Tel. (516) 883-6542 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION It s Independence Day week, and there is a link worth tracing between the Declaration of Independence and the language of liturgy. One of the signers of the Declaration on that July 4 long ago was Charles Carroll, probably the wealthiest man in the colonies and one of the few Catholics on the political scene. As a flourish to his signature, he sought to distinguish himself from other prominent citizens bearing the same name by penning Charles Carroll of Carrolltown a defiant come and get me if you dare postscript aimed at the British. Carroll s brother John was a priest and patriot who in 1789 was given the task of organizing the Catholic Church in this country. By 1791 he had assembled a synod, or assembly of delegates, to launch that task formally. Archbishop Carroll wanted to gain acceptance of our faith by American people who mistrusted our customs and could not comprehend our liturgy. He made the amazing proposal to Rome that our liturgy should be prayed not in Latin, but in the vernacular, English. His wish was denied, but one hundred sixty years later, his deep desire helped the American bishops and scholars at the Second Vatican Council to win the vote in favor of the vernacular not just for the United States, but for the Church throughout the world. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. TYRANNY Tyranny is always better organized than freedom. Charles Péguy FREEDOM Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves and under a just God cannot long retain it. Abraham Lincoln Polish-American Museum offers two new exhibits, a collection of World War II Polish Commando Unit artfacts and a retrospective display about General Anders Polish 2 nd Corp, titled Train of hope, a temporary exhibit on loan from the Polish government. The museum is located at 16 Belleview Avenue, Port Washington. Call (516) 883-8542 for additional information Anonymous 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. We will do registration in September 10 th, 2017 for the upcoming catechetical school year 2017-18. If you have any questions please contact rectory or Director of Religious Education Christopher Gospodarzec 631-875- 8413 We look for Volunteer Religious Catechists or Assistant Catechists in our church.
