From the Pastor s Desk... Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has called together two synods or meetings of representative bishops from throughout the world to consider the family. The first synod took place last fall, and the second will take place this coming October. Our own Archbishop Cupich has been named as an alternate delegate to the synod. As he prepares to offer a perspective to his fellow bishops in the United States and in turn to the Synod Office preparing for the November meeting in Rome, Archbishop Cupich wants to hear the voice of the people of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Consider using this brief survey to help him prepare for his work. Please answer the questions below and return them as soon as possible so that we can send your feedback to our Archbishop. Thank you for your help in this important consultation. How has family life been a grace or a blessing from God for you? In what way does our American culture at this historical moment help or hinder our families from being the families that God wants them to be? In your experience, what are the main challenges that families face today? How can we as a Church respond to those challenges? Can you suggest ways that parishes can include and be more available to those who might be overlooked when we consider family life, for example, single people, the widowed, single parents, divorced or separated, those who identify as gay or lesbian, and others?

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza... Ojciec Święty zwołał dwa Synody w sprawie duszpasterwstwa rodzin. Nasz Arcybiskup Błażej Cupich został wybrany delegatem na Synod w październiku. Zwrócił się do nas z prośbą o podzielenie się naszymi refleksjami na temat rodziny. Prosimy więc odpowiedzieć na poniższe pytania i przekazać nam jak najszbciej te ankiety które my z kolei prześlemy do Ks. Arcybiskupa. Bóg Zapłać za Waszą pomoc. Czy życie rodzinne jest łaską i błogosławieństwem danymi Wam od Pana? Podaj przykłady. W jaki sposób współczesna kultura amerykańska, w tym konkretnym momencie historii, pomaga lub utrudnia naszym rodzinom stawanie się takimi, jakimi Bóg chciałby, aby one były? W oparciu o własne doświadczenia powiedz, jakie są największe wyzwania, przed którymi stoją współczesne rodziny? W jaki sposób my, jako Kościół możemy odpowiadać na te wyzwania? Co parafie, Twoim zdaniem, mogłyby zrobić dla włączenia tych, o których być może trochę zapomniano, kiedy mówi się o życiu rodzinnym? Co można zrobić, aby parafie były bardziej dostępne dla takich ludzi, jak na przykład: osoby samotne, wdowcy, matki lub ojcowie samotnie wychowujący dzieci, osoby rozwiedzione lub żyjące w separacji, a także ci, którzy utożsamiają się z homoseksualistami i dla innych? Warta przy Grobie Zbliża się Wielkanoc, jak co roku tak i w tym będziemy pełnić wartę przy Grobie Pana Jezusa. Rozpoczęcie Warty będzie po Liturgii Męki Pańskiej w Wielki Piątek około godziny 9:30 wieczorem. Dlatego serdecznie zapraszamy wszystkich chętnych mężczyzn, kobiet, dzieci do trzymania warty przy Grobie. Jeżeli są osoby, które mają jaki kolwiek strój regionalny (góralski, kaszubski, śląski, rzeszowski, itd) prosimy o zapisanie się oraz zgłoszenie się do zakrystii po Mszy Świętej. Oprócz grup regionalnych wartę przy Grobie będą trzymali Kosynierzy. MODLITWA TAIZE Zapraszamy na wspólną modlitwę Taize w okresie Wielkiego Postu. Głównymi elementami wspólnej modlitwy T aize są Psalm, Czytanie, Śpiewy, Modlitwa wstawiennicza i chwila ciszy. Jest to moment, w którym każdy z nas może spotkać się z Bogiem, przemyśleć właśnie usłyszane Słowo Boże czy rozważanie. Modliwwa Taize odbędzie się w środę 11 marca o godz. 8 wieczorem w kościele. Koło Żywego Różańca Najświętszej Maryjii Panny Koło Żywego Różańca jest wspólnotą, która pełni misję głoszenia Ewangelii przez modlitwę różańcową podejmowaną w intencjach Kościoła powszechnego jak i lokalnego. Żywy Różaniec składa się z ŻYWYCH RÓŻ. Każda Róża posiada dwadzieścia osób, z których każda odmawia codziennie dziesiątek różańca czyli jedną tajemnicę, połączoną z rozważaniem. W ten sposób odmawiany jest w RÓŻY codziennie cały różaniec - dwadzieścia tajemnic. Jest to jakby wieniec różany składany u stóp Królowej. Spotkanie oraz zmiana tajemnic różańcowych jest zawsze w drugą niedzielę miesiąca po Mszy Świętej o 1:30 pm. Kontakt: Maria Bycul 773-625-1578; 773-805-0940 Grazyna Bajan 773-727-9949

In his encyclical letter on the Eucharist, Pope John Paul II wrote the following: Certainly the Christian vision leads to the expectation of new heavens and a new earth (Rev 21:1), but this increases, rather than lessens, our sense of responsibility for the world today. I wish to reaffirm this forcefully at the beginning of the new millennium, so that Christians will feel more obliged than ever not to neglect their duties as citizens in this world. Theirs is the task of contributing with the light of the Gospel to the building of a more human world, a world fully in harmony with God's plan (n.20). See our website using your smartphone!
