John was probably a little surprised, not thinking that Jesus was actually going to be leaving this earth so soon. When Jesus approached him with this task, can you imagine his reaction? What if Jesus were to ask the same of you? She was already up in years, she was about to endure the final sword by seeing her Son put to death. She was going to need a lot of attention and love. Could you have done it? She would be sought out by enemies of Jesus and ridiculed. She would be shunned on the streets for having a boy who was just executed for all the trouble he had caused. Could you have taken her in your home and cared for her? She was without any real income, without a husband...in terms of the world, a real loser. Could you have taken care of her? Crucifixion by Grunwald She probably could read into your heart and sense your fears surrounding this challenge. She had to hope you would say Yes so she would not be left to fend for herself until her last moments, now without her only Son at her side. Could you help her? After all, she said Yes once to help you out. After all the years of preparation and silent faith, now she seemed to be getting the short end of the stick. Her Son, dying before her eyes, holding His cold body in her arms, she would be a little numb, a little emotionally fragile. Could you comfort her, hold her, feed her, pray with her, take care of her for Jesus? Yes, in a few days, much of those fears would be relieved. She would see her Son risen from the dead. Things would be different. But, she still would need you to take care of her for years to come. Would you do it? Will you do it? Do you think she still might need you to do some things for her? Honestly? Even now? You know she still wants your help. If Jesus were to ask you right now, would you help to take care of His mother?

PASTORAL MESSAGE May 3, Maja 2009 FOUR EAGLES FIVE FRIENDS THOUSANDS OF SOULS MILLIONS OF TEARS ONE CONSTANT EMBRACE This week Friday is the annual Four Eagle Award Banquet. Ever since we became an official Shrine Church, we have celebrated the Parish Patronal Feast of Saint Stanislaus (still recognized as May 8th in the Polish calendar) with a special banquet that acknowledges the many people and organizations that share in the mission of the Saint Stanislaus community. Our commitment to the spiritual, educational, cultural, and social life of the community is well known and recognized throughout the region. But we do not do this alone. Once a year, we recognize and celebrate that at a festive and elegant banquet which is also a major fund-raiser for the Spring season. This year we recognize a group of people who share in some of the most intimate and emotional events in our lives. Five Catholic families have long established ties to our neighborhood, our parish, and our families as the directors of the funerals that mark then end of the earthly journeys of those we love. Golubski, Mosinski, Komorowski, Fortuna, and Bican these are all names that we know, places we recognize, people with whom we entrust the bodies of our deceased spouses, parents, children, lovers, and friends. These are the first ones we call when we have received the hardest news of our lives. These are the ones who say to us, Don t worry, I ll take care of it, when we are most vulnerable and unable to think for ourselves. These are the ones who call a bit later and ask, How are you doing? These are the ones who make sure we have All our affairs in order. The business climate in almost any line of work has changed dramatically over the last 100+ years. Even the funeral industry has undergone changes that, in many cities, make their work more of a business and less of a ministry. The era of family-owned funeral homes is diminishing in many cities. And those who do remain find it harder to remain independent, let alone to remain in the city neighborhood where they originated. But these friends of ours are a crucial part of the spiritual ministry we share as well as the neighborhood stability that we seek. According to the Polish legend, when Stanislaus was martyred and his body dismembered and thrown into a pond, four eagles hovered above, protecting his body until it could be reverently interred by the faithful. What a fitting symbol for the faith-filled service of those whom we honor on May 8. As one elderly parishioner said so beautifully, as she handed in her response card, I m going to be buried by, and I won t be able to say Thank you then, so I m going to say it now! If you haven t yet responded, please call the rectory by the end of Monday, May 4, and we ll still have room for a few more guests. Last year s event was a lot of fun, extraordinarily elegant, and raised significant funds to support the parish. Many thanks already to the volunteers and to Rick Sklodowski, whose elegant and refined catering style will dazzle us yet again! Fr. Michael Kościelna amnestia? Przed prawie dwoma miesiącami, 10 lutego 2009 roku ukazał się w lokalnej gazecie The Plain Dealer artykuł o odnowieniu praktyki odpustów w Kościele katolickim. Jego tytuł, jak przystało na praktykę dziennikarską, był trochę prowokujący Revival of indulgences gives Catholics amnesty, co moż na przetłumaczyć: Przywrócenie do życia odpustów daje katolikom amnestię. Artykuł spowodował komentarze. Sam byłem parę razy pytany o to, jak to z tymi odpustami w Kościele katolickim jest. Ciekawa rzecz - te pytania pochodziły od katolików, co więcej od regularnie praktykujących katolików. Regularnie to znaczy tu tyle, co uczestniczący we Mszy św. codziennie. Jeśli coś słyszeli o odpustach, to tylko w związku z Reformacją i Marcinem Lutrem, który zwalczał ówczesną praktykę uzyskiwania odpustów. Ci gorliwi katolicy nie nie tylko, że nie wiedzieli jak można uzyskać odpusty, ale co gorsze, nigdy o istnieniu odpustów nie słyszeli. A jeśli nie słyszeli, to dlatego, że nikt im tego nie powiedział, a sami nie czytali nic na ten temat. To nie miejsce i czas, aby odnieść się do ówczesnych praktyk związanych z uzyskiwaniem odpustów. Raczej chciałbym uzasadnić pokrótce teologiczne podstawy odpustów w Kościele oraz wyjaśnić, jak możemy je uzyskać. Kościół uczy, że posiada skarby zasług Chrystusa, Maryi i wszystkich świętych. A jeśli je posiada, to po to, aby je rozdać. One są dla nas. Każdego dnia możemy dostąpić takiego odpustu dla siebie lub ofiarować go za innych (tylko zmarłych). Czym jest odpust? Darowaniem kar za grzechy już odpuszczone co do winy. Widzimy zatem, że ta praktyka nie zastępuje spowiedzi. Jeśli ktoś się wyspowiadał, żałował za grzechy - zostały mu one przebaczone, ale jeszcze musi odpokutować karę za ich popełnienie. Przykładowo, ktoś z własnej winy zniszczył samochód sąsiada. Nie wystarczy, że go przeprosi i się z tego wyspowiada. Potrzeba jeszcze, aby naprawił szkodę. Każdy grzech jest taką szkodą zadaną Bogu. Spowiadający się doznaje miłosierdzia Bożego - wina zostaje mu przebaczona; ale Boża sprawiedliwość domaga się wynagrodzenia, czyli odpokutowania za grzechy, co nazywamy karą za grzech. Przez odpusty możemy uzyskać darowanie tych kar. Możemy taki odpust ofiarować za siebie lub za dusze cierpiące w czyśćcu, na przykład członków rodziny lub przyjaciół, lub ogólnie za wszystkie. Mamy odpusty zupełne i cząstkowe. Odpust zupełny jest darowaniem wszystkich kar za grzechy już przebaczone co do winy; odpust cząstkowy jest darowaniem części tych kar. Aby uzyskać odpust musimy wypełnić określoną czynność, do której przypisane jest uzyskanie odpustu oraz - przyjąć Komunię św.; - pomodlić się w intencjach Ojca św.; - nie mieć żadnego upodobania w grzechu. Przykładowymi praktykami, do których przypisane jest uzyskanie odpustów są: odmówienie Różańca św., odprawienie Drogi Krzyżowej itd. Za każdy dobry czyn, słowo, umartwienie, cierpliwe zniesienie bólu lub przykrości możemy uzyskać odpust cząstkowy. o. Placyd

If interested, or for more information, please contact Susan Halamek at 216 573-1243, or speak with any member of the Parish Pastoral Council. Lubisz przyrządzać i podawać uroczyste posiłki? Lubisz być gospodarzem spotkań? Jeśli tak, jesteś potrzebny!! W ostatnim czasie próbujemy zorganizować coś w rodzaju Hospitality Committee, którego zadaniem pełnić rolę gospodarza w czasie Donut Sundays, dorocznego pikniku parafialnego, w witaniu nowych parafian, i innych socjalnych wydarzeń w parafii, jak np. obiad dla duchowieństwa w czasie dorocznego nabożeństwa eucharystycznego. Jeśli jesteś zainteresowany, prosimy o kontakt z Susan Halamek 216 573 1243 lub z dowolnym członkiem Rady Parafialnej.

CITY MUSIC Presents HEAVEN & EARTH Schubert s Mass in G Major & Mozart s Jupiter Symphony with Quire Cleveland and vocal soloists Chabrelle Williams, Roy Hage & Matthew Hayward. FREE SATURDAY MAY, 9TH 7:3OPM ST. STANISLAUS CHURCH ST. STAN S HISTORICAL FACT by Rob Jagelewski Ohio became a state in 1803. In 1808 all of the state of Ohio was under the care of the Diocese of Bardstown, Kentucky. A Dominican priest, Father Edward Fenwick and other missionaries visit scattered Catholic families in Ohio in 1817 and 1818. In 1821 the Diocese of Cincinnati is created. This Diocese encompasses the entire state of Ohio. The building of the Ohio and Erie canal brings a large number of Irish and German immigrants to Northern Ohio in 1825. Many of these immigrants are Catholic. The oldest parish in the present Diocese of Cleveland, Sts. Peter and Paul in Wayne County, St. Mary s is formed in 1827. In 1838 the first Catholic Church in Cleveland, St. Mary s of the Flats is formed. The Diocese of Cleveland is formed in 1847. The Community of St. Stanislaus is formed in 1873. Our people worship at St. Mary s of the Flats (sometimes known as Our Lady of the Lakes). The current St. Stanislaus Church under construction since 1886 is a finished building in 1891.

FOUR EAGLES AWARD OBITUARY FOR SOMEONE ELSE Our church was saddened to learn this week of the death of one of our most valued members, Someone Else. Someone's passing creates a vacancy that will be difficult to fill. Else has been with us for many years and for every one of those years, Someone did far more than a normal person's share of the work. Whenever there was a job to do, a class to teach, or a meeting to attend, one name was on everyone's list, "Let Someone Else do it." Whenever leadership was mentioned, this wonderful person was looked to for inspiration as well as results; "Someone Else can work with that group." I t w a s c o m m o n knowledge that Someone Else was among the most liberal givers in our church. Whenever there was a financial need, everyone just assumed Someone Else would make up the difference. Someone Else was a wonderful person; sometimes appearing superhuman. Were the truth known, everybody expected too much of Someone Else. Now Someone Else is gone! We wonder what we are going to do. Someone Else left a wonderful example to follow, but who is going to follow it? Who is going to do the things Someone Else did? When you are asked to help this year, remember -- we can't depend on Someone Else anymore It s almost here! The Seventh Annual Four Eagle Banquet and Silent Auction will take place on Friday, May 8, 2009, in the Social Center, starting at 6 PM. This year we are honoring five Slavic Village funeral homes Bican Brothers, Fortuna, Golubski, Komorowski, & Mosinski for their commitment to our community and the special ministry they provide.

In addition, you will witness the transformation of the Social Center into a wonderful party center filled with conversation and laughter. You really don t want to miss it! If you want to spend a quality evening among parishioners and friends, please join us at this important and needed fundraiser. If you have any questions, please call the rectory at 216-341-9091 or Sharon Kozak at 330-467-8532. We would appreciate the receipt of your reservations by this Monday, May 4. DON T FORGET YOUR MANNA CARDS Pogrzeb KOGOŚ INNEGO Nasz Kościół przyjął z bólem wiadomość o śmierci jednego z najbardziej wartościowych członków naszej wspólnoty - KOGOŚ INNEGO. Odejście KOGOŚ INNEGO powoduje lukę trudną do zapełnienia. KTOŚ INNY był z nami przez tak długie lata. Każdy mógł na niego liczyć, ilekroć go potrzebowaliśmy. KTOŚ INNY brał na siebie większy niż przeciętny udział w pracy, która była do wykonania. Zawsze, kiedy trzeba było coś zrobić, kiedy potrzeba była zastępstwa w szkole, spotkanie, w którym trzeba było wziąć udział, jedno nazwisko było na listach wszystkich: Niech KTOŚ INNY to zrobi. Kiedy chodziło o wybranie przełożonego, inni zgodnie patrzyli na tą wspaniałą osobę oczekując od niej natchnienia i wyników: KTOŚ INNY może pracować z tą grupą. Wszyscy wiedzieli o tym, że KTOŚ INNY dawał hojnie na składkę w naszym kościele. Kiedy parafia była w potrzebie, KTOŚ INNY dawał, co brakowało. KTOŚ INNY był wspaniałą osobą, czasami wydawał się wręcz nadludzki. Wszyscy dobrze wiemy, że oczekiwaliśmy za dużo od KOGOŚ INNEGO. Ale teraz KTOŚ INNY odszedł. Zastanawiamy się, co możemy uczynić w tej sytuacji. KTOŚ INNY zostawił nam wspaniały przykład do naśladowania, ale kto zechce pójść w jego ślady? Kto zechce robić to wszystko, co robił KTOŚ INNY? Jeśli w tym roku zostaniecie poproszeni o pomoc, pamiętajcie - nie możemy już więcej liczyć na KOGOŚ INNEGO.
