All Clothing Boxes from every parish (including St. Albert s) will be removed the week of August 14-18, 2017. This was a difficult decision because boxes provided option for old clothing to be reused. No further information is available at this time.

Let us pray for next year s carnival return to our parish. Please join us this year for fun, games, music and good food; bring your families and friends. Let this be a time of fun and joy spent in the company of your fellow parishioners and your loved ones. May our attendance be a symbol of commitment to our parish and our second home St. Albert the Great Church. Everything we accomplished during the past year is the fruit of your prayers and financial support. Mega passes for all carnival rides can be purchased today in the church vestibule, and on Monday and Tuesday in the parish office.

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza Moi Kochani! To już w najbliższy czwartek (24 sierpnia) rozpoczynamy nasz parafialny karnawał. Trwać on będzie także w piątek (25 sierpnia), sobotę (26 sierpnia) i zakończy się w niedzielę 27 sierpnia. Proszę was o modlitwę w intencji naszego karnawału; módlmy się, aby nasz parafialny karnawał już w przyszłym roku powrócił do domu na nasz teren wokół kościoła i szkoły; módlmy się o bezpieczeństwo na czas karnawału, módlmy się o dobrą i słoneczną pogodę oraz módlmy się o liczną frekwencję. W te dni karnawału proszę was, abyśmy byli razem! Zaproście waszych krewnych, bliskich, znajomych i sąsiadów. Niech wasza liczna obecność będzie wyrazem naszej wdzięczności za naszą wspólnotę parafialną, za kościół i za nasze przywiązanie do niego. Wasza obecność niech będzie także wyrazem naszego wsparcia finansowego dla naszego kościoła i szkoły, z której korzystają wszystkie dzieci naszej parafii. To co się nam udało dokonać w ciągu ostatniego roku to jest wasze wielkie dzieło; to są owoce waszej modlitwy i owoce waszej finansowej ofiarności. Jeszcze tylko dziś (w przedsionku kościoła) oraz tylko w poniedziałek i wtorek (w kancelarii parafialnej) możemy zakupić dla swoich dzieci Mega Pass (50 $). Ten Mega Pass niech będzie upominkiem dla waszych pociech za kończące się wakacje. Nowością w tym roku w czasie karnawału będzie nasza parafialna, międzynarodowa kuchnia. W czwartek będziemy kosztować potrawy filipińskie, w piątek potrawy meksykańskie, w sobotę delektować się będziemy jedzeniem polskim, a w niedzielę będziemy mieć parafialny słodki stół z kubkiem wyśmienitej i smacznej kawy. Ponadto w czasie karnawału będziemy mieć bingo. Proszę was także o przynoszenie nowych rzeczy, które w czasie naszego karnawału wezmą udział w tzw. loterii fantowej. Wszystkie te rzeczy proszę przynosić do środy i zostawić je w kancelarii parafialnej. Proszę was także o przygotowanie ciasta i ciasteczek (chrust, kołaczki, pączki itp) na słodki stół. Te ciasta i ciasteczka bardzo proszę przynieść juz bezpośrednio na karnawał. Za wszelką pomoc na rzecz karnawału z głębi serca dziękuję i ogarniam was życzliwą i gorliwą kapłańską modlitwą. Jutro tj. w poniedziałek 21 sierpnia po wakacyjnej przerwie rozpoczynamy kolejny nowy rok szkolny i katechetyczny w naszej Parafialnej Szkole Katolickiej św. Alberta Wielkiego. Nasza szkoła wygląda teraz inaczej. Zostały odmalowane korytarze, zostały ofiarowane dla szkoły piękne duże kwiaty ozdobne, wymieniono system elektryczny w szkole oraz zostały zainstalowane w klasach systemy chłodzenia, wciąż trwają prace przy zainstalowaniu nowego systemu grzewczego dla całej szkoły (bojler), instalowany jest także nowy system przeciwpożarowy, nowy plac zabaw dla dzieci został zagrodzony od strony ulicy State Rd. oraz zainstalowano dwie kamery, które mają służyć bezpieczeństwu dzieci i młodzieży. W sobotę 26 sierpnia przypada Święto Matki Bożej Częstochowskiej Królowej Polski. Z tej okazji przez 3 dni (środa, czwartek i piątek) o godz. 7 wieczorem zapraszamy do udziału we Mszy Świętej połączonej z odmawianiem Litanii do Matki Bożej Częstochowskiej. Nasze trzydniowe czuwanie modlitewne zakończymy uroczystą Mszą Święta w sobotę 26 sierpnia o godz. 9:30 rano. Serdecznie zapraszamy was do licznego udziału w tych pięknych nabożeństwach. Wciąż zachęcam do zapisywania swoich dzieci do naszych szkół, które istnieją i działają przy naszym kościele (Szkoła Katolicka św. Alberta Wielkiego, CCD, SPRED, oraz dwie Poklskie Szkoły im. ks. Ignacego Posadzego oraz im. Adama Mickiewicza). Na uwagę zasługuje fakt, że w naszej Parafialnej Szkole Katolickiej św. Alberta Wielkiego np. przedszkole oferuje programy dwujęzyczne. Ponadto koszt za szkołę uległ zmniejszeniu. W tyle kościoła możemy znaleźć szczegółowe informacje na ten temat oraz odsłyłam wszystkich zainteresowanych do kontaktu z sekretarką szkoły p. Kasią Król. Za wiele ciepłych słów życzliwości i wsparcia w codziennych poczynaniach dla dobra naszej parafii z głębi serca wam dziękuję! To WY jesteście moją inspiracją i siłą oraz MOIM szczęściem! Na cały nadchodzący tydzień oraz na czas naszego parafialnego karnawału niech nam towarzyszy Boże błogosławieństwo! Święty Albercie Wielki módl sie za nami! Matko Boża Częstochowska módl się za nami! Jezu, ufam Tobie! Fr. Mariusz Page 5 Serdecznie wszystkich zapraszamy na Czuwanie Modlitewne z okazji święta MATKI BOSKIEJ CZĘSTOCHOWSKIEJ Msze Święte z Litanią do M.B. Częstochowskiej odbędą się od 23go - 26go sierpnia (środa, czwartek i piątek) o godz. 7 wieczorem oraz w Sobotę o godz. 9:30 rano!

(Psalm 67:4) today s psalm response exclaims. In the psalms and other Hebrew scriptures, this kind of invocation is actually an invitation to God to act, to intervene in human lives in a manner that will cause everyone not just the Chosen People to give praise. Stated a bit more strongly, it is something of a put up or shut up challenge to God, the sort of strong statement the psalmists of Israel, trusting in their intimate and loving relationship with God, were not afraid to make. The Gospel has its own exclamation, announcing the appearance of the Canaanite woman with Behold! (Matthew 15:22) Behold! is a scriptural flag that tells us that God is about to act or announce something through an individual or a situation. In the case of Jesus, God was going to act through this woman, whom nobody among Jesus followers would have believed to be an agent of the divine will. Like the psalmists, we might passively inform or perhaps even actively challenge God to do something so that everyone will come to belief, but God will always turn the tables on us. It becomes our calling, our duty (as it was for Jesus) to behold the situations and persons of our daily lives so that God can act through us, so the Kingdom can be announced through our living.
