Month of Remembrance. In our Catholic tradition, we remember in a special way all of our deceased relatives and friends during November. Here at Mt. Carmel, we have Special Masses on November 2. To enroll your loved ones, please use the envelopes included in your envelope packets. (Extra envelopes are found at the entrances of the church.) The envelopes may be placed in any collection or mailed to the rectory before November 1. All Souls Candles will be available this weekend at the church entrances. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The Solemnity of All Saints and The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls) fit well at the beginning of November. The liturgical readings of this final month in the Church year are keyed to the end of time and the fulfillment of Jesus saving acts. Nowhere is this more fully celebrated than in Mexico, where November 2 is the Day of the Dead. Missionaries moved an ancient Aztec festival from midsummer to November, linking the festival to Christian themes. Today, it is a time for remembering the dead and celebrating the continuity of life, principally by festive picnics in cemeteries. There are special foods and games, and people socialize with other families and tell favorite stories about their dear ones. The sweetness of life is honored by sugary desserts and treats. Flowers, music, lights, and feasting assure that the day is not at all morbid. Traditionally, the day begins with Mass, a procession to the cemetery, and a morning feast. Most families have a special dinner with the pan de muerto, or bread of the dead. A toy skeleton is baked into the loaf, and the one who bites into it is considered lucky indeed. The dead are not feared, but deeply loved, and this joyful family feast points both to age-old customs and Resurrection faith. Daylight Saving Time began on the second Sunday of March and will end on the 1st Sunday of November. Next weekend (Saturday night!) turn your clocks BACK one hour.

Do drewnianej skarbonki przy bocznym ołtarzu Matki Bożej, można wrzucać kartki żywnosciowe Mc Donald s, Subway, Dunkin Donuts, Shop Rite, lub pieniądze. Wszelkie datki będą przekazane potrzebującym. Dziękujemy wszystkim ofiarodawcom staropolskim Bóg Zapłać!!! PRZYPOMNIENIE Nasz piękny kościół jest Domem Boga, miejscem modlitwy i kultu. Każdy z nas jest zobowiązany do zachowania sacrum i opieki nad miejscem świętym. Kilka sugestii: Przed wejściem do świątyni wyłączmy telefony i bipery. Mszaliki i śpiewniki znajdują się na półkach przy wejściu do kościoła. Prosimy wziąść je przed wejściem na Mszę św., a przed wyjściem z kościoła odłożyć na miejsce. Prosimy o nie pozostawianie papierów i innych rzeczy w ławkach. Opuszczajmy i podośmy klęczniki delikatnie. Podczas deszczu prosimy o pozostawianie parasoli w przygotowanych w tym celu pojemnikach przy wejściu oraz wycieranie obuwia. Dziękujemy za zrozumienie. ŚWIĘTO ŚWIĘTYCH APOSTOŁÓW SZYMONA I JUDY TADEUSZA - 28 PAŹDZIERNIKA Ewangelie wymieniają św. Szymona w ścisłym gronie uczniów Pana Jezusa. Jest on chyba najmniej znanym spośród nich. Ewangelie wspominają o nim tylko trzy razy. Łukasz wprost daje Szymonowi przydomek Zelotes, czyli gorliwy. Szymon Kananejczyk jest wymieniany zawsze obok św. Jakuba i św. Judy Tadeusza, "braci" (stryjecznych albo ciotecznych) Chrystusa, czyli Jego kuzynów. Czy był nim także i Szymon? Według Ewangelii św. Mateusza wydaje się to być pewnym. Także i w tradycji chrześcijańskiej mamy nikłe wiadomości o Szymonie. Miał być bratem Apostołów: Jakuba Młodszego i Judy Tadeusza. Będąc krewnym Pana Jezusa, miał według innych zasiąść na stolicy jerozolimskiej po Jakubie Starszym i Jakubie Tradycja łączy go ze św. Judą Tadeuszem dlatego, jakoby miał z nim głosić Ewangelię i razem z nim miał ponieść śmierć. Według tej tradycji obchodzi się ich święto tego samego dnia. O życiu św. Judy nie wiemy prawie nic. Miał przydomek Tadeusz, czyli "Odważny". Był bratem św. Jakuba Młodszego, Apostoła. Był jednym z krewnych Jezusa. Prawdopodobnie jego matką była Maria Kleofasowa. Juda jest autorem jednego z listów Nowego Testamentu. Sam w nim nazywa siebie bratem Jakuba. Po Zesłaniu Ducha Świętego Juda głosił Ewangelię w Palestynie, Syrii, Egipcie i Mezopotamii; niektóre z wędrówek misyjnych odbył razem ze Św. Szymonem. Jest czczony jako patron od spraw beznadziejnych. W ten weekend członkowie Rycerzy Kolumba (Knights of Columbus) będą kwestowali przy drzwiach kościoła prosząc o datki mające wspomóc ich pracę w programie prawo do życia (Pro Life). Prosimy o łaskawe wspomożenie tej akcji! RUCH RODZIN NAZARETAŃSKICH Jest to międzynarodowy katolicki ruch apostolstwa rodzin, którego celem jest uświęcenie członków poprzez pogłębienie życia Ewangelią w oparciu o wspólnotę życia z Chrystusem w codzienności, naśladując Maryję. Jeżeli pragniesz chcesz pogłębić swoje życie duchowe i wiarę zapraszamy na spotkania w każdy poniedziałek o 6:00 PM
