My Dearly Beloved! From the Pastor s Desk November is almost here; this is a month of special prayers in the memory of those who have gone from us to the House of the Lord. A few weeks ago during our parish pilgrimage to Noah's Ark in Kentucky, along the highway I saw a very interesting sign which read: "What is Heaven? Heaven is the other side of the Earth "! Let us remember that each day, week, and month many of us make the journey to the other side; to the House of the Lord! During this particular time, I ask you; please, pray more than usual, especially for our deceased loved ones and friends. Let us offer in their intention our prayers, confessions, Holy Communion, our suffering, and our daily work. On this occasion, I invite you and your families to take part in Holy Masses on the Feast of All Saints (a Holy day of obligation), and All the Faithful Departed the All Souls ' Day. Please, check the parish bulletin for a complete Mass Schedule. Today after each Mass you may buy lanterns, which can be lit on the graves of your departed loved ones. Sunday, November 12 at 3:00 pm. we will celebrate a special Mass for all the deceased whose funerals were held last year in our Church. I invite all relatives and friends of those who have passed away with faith into eternal peace, to participate in this Mass. Please remember to push back your clocks Saturday night (November 4th). Next weekend we sleep one hour longer! I would like to wholeheartedly thank all who made donations toward the bas-relief sculptures (of Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows and John the Evangelist) for the altar. It is because of your kindness and generosity that in a near future these bas-reliefs will be placed on each side of the Crucified Jesus in the presbytery. If anyone else would like to make a donations toward this special undertaking, please contact me or the parish office. All benefactors will be remembered in a special way by our Church. Soon I will give you the names of our benefactors. As we ponder the mysteries of life and death, let this particular time in November be filled with faith, hope, love, and trust in God's mercy! Every one of us should be: The Light of Love, the Bread of Peace, and the Wine of Friendship! Jesus, I trust in You! Fr. Mariusz Page 3

Moi Kochani! Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza Przed nami miesiąc listopad, a zatem miesiąc szczególnej modlitewnej pamięci o tych, którzy od nas odeszli do domu Pana. Kilka tygodni temu jadąc z naszymi pielgrzymami do Arki Noego w Kentucky widziałem na autostradzie bardzo ciekawy napis: Co to jest niebo? Niebo to druga strona ziemi! Pamiętajmy, że każdego dnia, tygodnia, miesiąca i roku wszyscy pielgrzymujemy na drugą stronę tzn. pielgrzymujemy do nieba, do domu Pana! W tym szczególnym czasie proszę was, abyśmy częśniej niż zwykle modlili się za zmarłymi. Ofiarujmy w ich intencjach nasze modlitwy tzw. Wypominki, ofiarujmy naszą spowiedź świętą, Komunię Świętą, nasze cierpienia i codzienną pracę. Zapraszam was wszystkich z całymi rodzinami do udziału w specjalnych Mszach Świętych w Uroczystość Wszystkich Świętych oraz w Dzień Wszystkich Wiernych Zmarłych-Dzień Zaduszny. Dokładny rozkład nabożeństw w naszym kościele znajdziecie w biuletynie parafialnym, który proszę ze sobą zabrać do swoich domów. Także dziś po Mszach Świętych możemy zakupić w tyle naszego kościoła znicze, które później połóżmy na grobach naszych bliskich na cmentarzach. W niedzielę 12 listopada o godz. 3:00 popołudniu zostanie odprawiona specjalna Msza Święta za naszymi bliskimi zmarłymi, których pogrzeby odbyły się w naszym kościele w ostatnim roku. Do udziału w tej Mszy Świętej zapraszamy rodziny, krewnych i przyjaciół tych, którzy odeszli od nas ze znakiem wiary i śpią w pokoju wiecznym. Pamiętajmy, że za tydzień z soboty na niedzielę (4 i 5 listopad) przesuwamy wskazówki zegara o jedną godzinę do tyłu! Śpimy więc dłużej! I na koniec mojego słowa do was pragnę z całego serca podziękować tym wszystkim, którzy złożyli donacje na płaskorzeźby św. Jana Ewangelisty i Matki Bożej Bolesnej. To dzięki waszej dobroci, życzliwości i hojności w przyszłości zostaną umieszczone te piękne płaskorzeźby wokół Jezusa na krzyżu w prezbiterium. Gdyby ktoś jeszcze chciałby złożyć donacje na ten cel to proszę o kontakt ze mną. Wszyscy nasi ofiarodawcy zostaną uwiecznieni w naszym kościele. W niedalekiej przyszłości podam wam imiona i nazwiska naszych ofiarodawców-dobrodziejów. Niech ten szczególny listopadowy czas, czas zadumy nad życiem i śmiercią będzie wypełniony wiarą, nadzieją, miłością i ufnością w Boże Miłosierdzie! Każdy z nas powinien być codziennie: Światłem Miłości, Chlebem Pokoju i Winem Przyjaźni! Jezu, ufam Tobie Ks. Mariusz Święto Wszystkich Świętych W tym roku Święto Wszystkich Świętych 1-go listopada przypada w środę. Msze Święte w j. polskim odbędą się o godz. 7:30 rano, 12:00 w południe i 6:30 wieczorem. W Dzień Zaduszny - 2go listopada Msze Święte w j. polskim będą odprawione również o godz. 7:30 rano, 12:00 w południe i 6:30 wieczorem. Zapraszamy wszystkich do udziału we Mszy Świętej i Różańcu 30go października (poniedziałek)o godz. 7:00 wieczorem ADORACJA NAJŚWIĘTSZEGO SAKRAMENTU - Zachęcamy do wpisywania się na grafik adoracji w kaplicy Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa w budynku administracyjnym. Zadbajmy o to, by Najświętszy Sakrament nie pozostawał sam. Serdecznie Zapraszamy Wszystkich na Czuwanie Modlitewne w 1-szą Sobotę miesiąca - 4go listopada o godz. 7:00 wieczorem w kościele. WYPOMINKI - Przez cały listopad będziemy się również wspólnotowo modlić za naszych zmarłych podczas tradycyjnych wypominków. Kartki z wypisanymi imionami zmarłych, za których pragniemy się modlić, możemy przynieść do zakrystii lub składać przed ołtarzem do koszyka. Koperty wypominkowe znajdują się na tyle kościola oraz w biurze parfialnym - proszę wypisać imiona waszych zmarłych blikich i można wrzucić je do koszyka w presbiterium lub podać Siostrze Zakonnej, jednemu z Księży, lub zostawić w biurze parafialnym.

The big-spending sugar shock holiday is a long way removed from Thursday s grateful remembrance of the souls who are hidden from our sight, but alive to Christ. Old pagan superstitions might find us holding our breath when going by the graveyard, whereas others might actually go to the cemetery to tend the family graves, to share good food, and remember dear ones. Nowhere does a culture embrace this day as fully as in Mexico. The Day of the Dead is a national holiday that unfolds over three full days. For three thousand years, the indigenous people of Mexico have been mocking death in an annual festival, and the invading Spaniards were shocked at the spectacle. To the Aztecs, life was a dream, and death was the entry into full life. Skulls were thus a symbol of joy and release from life s sorrows. The missionaries found all this a bit creepy, but they moved the three-day feast from August to synchronize it with the Christian calendar. So today, graves are decorated, altars are built in the home to honor the family dead, children feast on candy skulls, and people dress up in elaborate skeleton outfits. The devout spend hours in the cemetery, and there is a lively sense of the communion of saints, the living and the dead. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
