Mariusz and the Parish Staff PARISH OFFICE AND THE ADORATION CHAPEL WILL BE CLOSED TUESDAY 7/4/2017 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.

From the Pastor s Desk Dear Parishioners, Another summer week has passed by. I welcome in our church all vacationing guests and hope that all visitors to our church will feel at home. Although this is vacation time, let us remember how important is the material support for our church, especially during renovations which are being done in the main section of the Church (Sanctuary), and in our Catholic School building, which during the school year is used by students of five schools. Thus, in classrooms, we have installed air-conditioning, painted hallways, and cleaned the floors in each classroom. Last Monday we began the installation of a new boiler for the school. The old system was from the year 1954 and required replacement. We are also preparing to install a new fire alarm system at the school. This is very important because during the school year we have hundreds of children and their safety is most important. All these works need a huge financial effort. The cost of such improvements is very high. Therefore, if anyone, any company or business would like to make donations for these improvements, please contact the school principal Mrs. Jodi McLawhorn or me. We will be forever grateful. Thank you so much to Marie Shipman and Andy Magda for the preparation of a sweet table for the farewell of Fr. James Beath. Once again let us welcome in our community Fr. Bernardo Lozano Hernandez. At the same time, I would like to express my joy that Fr. Joseph Mol will celebrate more English Masses in our Church. I ask you to please, accept our priests with an open heart and open arms. Thank you, p. Bernadette Giemza and Bogusa Stoch for planting flowers at the entrance to the Parish Office. Our parish carnival will take place in Bridgeview, from August 24th to 27th. I urge parents and grandparents to buy passes for all carnival rides. Mega passes are $50.00 each and can make a wonderful gift for your children and grandchildren. We are looking for persons or groups that would be willing to cover the costs of the performance at the Carnival by the Polish Elvis Presley ($400). Before us is Independence day-july 4th. Please, spend this special day with family and friends if you can. Please, remember that on Tuesday the Adoration Chapel Jesus, as well as the Parish Office, will be closed. I wish all parishioners, visitors, and vacationers a blessed and joyful "Independence day". Jesus, I trust in You! Fr. Mariusz St. Albert Prish Welcomes New Associate Pastor - Fr. Bernardo Lozano Hernández Fr. Bernardo was born in San Pedro Coahuila Mexico, northern of Mexico and was ordained as priest on March 17, 2001 by the imposition of the hands of Bishop Jose Guadalupe Galván Galindo, bishop from Torreón Coahuila. He completed Philosophical studies at Santa Maria Reina Seminary in Torreón Coahuila Mex, and Theological studies at St. Teofimo Martyr Seminary in Monterrey N.L. Mex. Father Bernardo served the Diocese of Torreon for a period of nine years and was invited to support the Archdiocese of Chicago by Joseph Perry, Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago on May 2010. Fr. Bernardo came as an associate pastor of St. Francis de Sales Parish, located at southeast of Chicago for a period of three years. Later, Father Bernardo was moved to the Parish of St. Gall, located at 55th Street and Kedzie Ave, where he remained for two years and, finally he was at St. Joseph Parish located in Round Lake, IL for a period of two years. Currently, Father Bernardo is assigned to the Parish of St. Albert the Great in Burbank, IL, where he will serve as associate pastor. Father Bernardo is taking part in the incardination process to belong definitively to the presbytery of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Fr. Bernardo Lozano says: I am very grateful to God for the opportunity that He gives me to serve this beautiful community of St. Albert the Great. I commend myself to your prayers to continue faithfully with my mission as priest and to build the Kingdom of God in this world. I consider myself a friendly, respectful, and cheerful priest, and you will have the opportunity to know me and I to know you. Page 3 Sincerely your friend and brother in Christ, Rev. Bernardo Lozano Hernández

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza Moi Drodzy! Za nami kolejny tydzień wakacyjnego wypoczynku. Bardzo serdecznie witam w naszym kościele wszystkich wakacjuszy. Mam nadzieję, że wszyscy odwiedzający nasz kościół poczują się tutaj jak we własnym domu. Pomimo trwania wakacji pamiętajmy o jakże ważnym materialnym wsparciu dla naszego kościoła tym bardziej, że kontynuujemy ważne prace w środku naszej światyni (prezbiterium) oraz w budynku naszej katolickiej szkoły z którego korzystają wszystkie szkoły istniejące przy naszej parafii. Jak wiecie tych szkół tutaj jest aż pięć. A zatem w budynku szkoły katolickiej (w klasach) została zainstalowana klimatyzacja, odświeżamy i malujemy korytarze, czyścimy podłogi w każdej klasie. Od poniedziałku rozpoczęto prace przy instalacji nowego bojleru w szkole. Stary system był z roku 1954 i wymagał wymiany. Przygotowujemy się także do zainstalowania w szkole nowego systemu przeciwpożarowego. Jest to bardzo ważne, gdyż w ciągu roku szkolenego i katechetycznego codziennie mamy w szkole setki dzieci i ich bezpieczeństwo jest najważniejsze, jest numerem 1. Te wszystkie prace wymagają ogromnego nakładu finansowego. To wszystko kosztuje i jest bardzo drogie. Dlatego gdyby ktoś z was, jakieś firmy czy biznesy chciałby złożyć donacje na te cele to wraz z dyrektorką szkoły p. Jodi będziemy wam za tę pomoc bardzo wdzięczni. Osoby, firmy i biznesy bardzo prosimy o kontakt ze mną lub z kancelarią parafialną. Bardzo dziękuję p. Marii Shipman oraz Andy Magda za przygotowanie tydzień temu słodkiego stołu z okazji pożegnania Fr. James Beath. Raz jeszcze witam w naszej wspólnocie Fr. Bernardo Lozano Hernandez i raz jeszcze wyrażam moją radość z tego, że Fr. Joseph Mol będzie częściej celebrować angielskie Msze Święte w naszym kościele. Proszę was przyjmijcie naszych księży z otwartym sercem i otwartymi ramionami. Dziękuję p. Bernadecie Giemza i Bogusi Stoch za posadzenie kwiatów przy wejściu do kancelarii parafialnej. Zachęcam rodziców i dziadków do zakupienia specjalnych Megapassów dla dzieci i młodzieży na nasz parafialny karnawał od 24 do 27 sierpnia. Pamiętajcie, że ten Megapass może być wspaniałym upominkiem i prezentem z okazji wakacji dla waszych pociech. Poszukujemy także chętnych do pokrycia kosztów występu na karnawale Polskiego Presleya ($ 400). Przed nami Święto Niepodległości - 4 lipca. Spędźmy ten szczególny dzień w gronie rodziny i przyjaciół oraz pamiętajmy, że w tym dniu kaplica adoracji Pana Jezusa jak również kancelaria parafialna będzie zamknięta. Wszystkim parafianom, gościom i wakacjuszom życzę błogosławionego tygodnia oraz spokojnego oraz radosnego Święta Niepodległości - 4 Lipca. Jezu, ufam Tobie Ks. Mariusz 3-go Lipca obchodzimy święto Tomasza Apostoła zwanego również Didymos, co znaczy Bliźniak. Był Żydem powołanym jako jeden z dwunastu na ucznia Jezusa Chrystusa. Uważa się go za gorliwego, ale posiadającego gwałtowne usposobienie, apostoła. Jest wspominany kilkakrotnie przez ewangelie. Gdy Jezus ogłosił powrót do Judei, by tam odwiedzić chorego przyjaciela, Łazarza, Tomasz od razu zgłosił chęć towarzyszenia Mistrzowi razem z innymi apostołami w podróży. Był wówczas zdecydowany oddać za Jezusa życie, gdyby pojawiło się jakiekolwiek niebezpieczeństwo ze strony nieprzychylnych Mu. Nie uwierzył w Zmartwychwstanie Jezusa i aby przekonać się o prawdziwości mającego miejsce cudu, włożył swą rękę w bok Chrystusa. Te wątpliwości spowodowały, że otrzymał miano niewiernego Tomasza. Nie było go bowiem razem z innymi uczniami, gdy zebrali się po raz pierwszy po Zmartwychwstaniu. Tomasz był również obecny przy kolejnym ukazaniu się zmartwychwstałego Chrystusa nad Jeziorem Tyberiadzkim. W tym czasie miał miejsce cudowny połów ryb. Według tradycji, gdy apostołowie po Zielonych Świątkach rozeszli się głosić nowinę o Chrystusie, Tomasz głosił Dobrą Nowinę pośród Partów, Medów i Persów... Serdecznie Wszystkich Zapraszamy DO ADORACJI NAJŚWIĘTSZEGO SAKRAMENTU W KAPLICY NAJŚWIĘTRZEGO SERCA PANA JEZUSA OD PONIEDZIAŁKU DO SOBOTY 8:30 AM - 8:30 PM Msze Św. w Kaplicy odbywają się w każdą trzecią Sobotę miesiąca o godz. 7:00 am Page 5

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.
