Mudryk COMMUNITY INFORMATION Sacrificial Giving for the Week of January 28, 2018 $4,555.00 Największy problem jest w kotłowni. W czasie inspekcji stanowej i inspekcji z ubezpieczenia otrzymaliśmy dwa upomnienia i nie przeszliśmy pozytywnie tych kontroli czyli inspekcji stanowej i ubezpieczeniowej. Okazało się, że nie spełniamy norm stanowych i norm zgodnych z diecezjalną firmą ubezpieczeniową. Stary sufit w kotłowni plebanii nie był ognioodporny. Zdemontowaliśmy stary sufit w kotłowni, jesteśmy w trakcie remontu instalacji elektrycznej i w nadchodzącym tygodniu założymy ognioodporny sufit, zgodnie z wymaganiami Stanu New York i firmy ubezpieczeniowej. Następnie zgłosimy, że prace zostały wykonane zgodnie z wymaganiami i otrzymamy wtedy potrzebną zgodę. Wymieniamy również w tej chwili panele elektryczne, które rozpadają się ze starości. System elektryczny na plebani nigdy nie był remontowany i modernizowany. Jakiekolwiek prace które były robione w przeszłości miały charakter nieprofesjonalny. Wasz Ksiądz Proboszcz Ks.Piotr FROM THE PASTOR S DESK Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Hedwig s Church. Druga kolekta w tym tygodniu przeznaczona bedzie na remont kotlowni i na wszystkie prace prowadzone obecnie na terenie naszej parafii. Skladam Wam serdeczne Bog zaplac za Wasze wsparcie. Today, the second collection will be for the renovation of the boiler room and for all the work currently being carried out in our parish. God Bless You all for your generous support. INFORMACJE KSIĘDZA PROBOSZCZA Kochani Parafianie i Przyjaciele Kościoła Św. Jadwigi. Obecnie prowadzimy prace w kościele (pokój dla rodziców z dziećmi) i na plebanii (sala konferencyjna i kotłownia). Prace w Crying Room zakończymy w tym tygodniu. Będziemy montować nowe okna i drzwi. Zostaną nam tylko do zamówienia meble. W tym tygodniu kontynuujemy też prace w sali konferencyjnej. Wymieniliśmy sufit, ściany, kable elektryczne oraz zmodernizowaliśmy system AC. We continue our renovation at the church (Crying Room) and in the Rectory (the meeting room and the boiler room). The project in the Crying Room will be finished this week. In that area we will install new windows and doors. In the future we will have to order new furniture. This week we continue with another project in the meeting room. We replaced the ceiling, walls, electric wires and renovated the AC system. We discovered a problem in the boiler room. During the state inspection and the inspection from the insurance company, we received two violations and we did not pass. The old ceiling in the boiler room of the Rectory was not fireproof. Last week we removed the old ceiling and replaced it. We are proceeding with installation of new electric wires and panels which deterioated from old age. The electrical system in the Rectory was never repaired and modernized. Any projects that were done in the past had not been done to Code. Your Pastor, Fr. Peter
most such sites. The glory of the city Paul knew well has faded, but the relevance of his words shines through the centuries. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. PRAY FOR THE SICK OF OUR PARISH: TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION We re reading St. Paul s letter to the Corinthians these days. What was Corinth like? It had a beautiful setting on an isthmus, about fifty miles from Athens. The location makes for very easy exchange by sea routes between Greece and Italy, a factor in its economic success even today. In Paul s day it was a cosmopolitan and wealthy city with inhabitants drawn from all over the world, including a sizeable Jewish community. When Paul arrived about the year 50, the city was only about a century old, but already five times the size of Athens. Paul lived in Corinth for a year and a half, and a few years later came back for three months. The community of Christians there struggled against the influence of a very secular and self-indulgent society that was blind to the plight of the poor. Pagan attitudes afflicted the community, which had a way of breaking Paul s heart; he wrote to them sometimes with many tears (Corinthians 2:4). Today, Corinth is a small industrial city. Its historic core has been destroyed by a series of earthquakes over the centuries, and what little remained was totally obliterated in a war with Turkey in the 1820s. There s a core city with glamorous shops to catch the tourists, but it is mainly a cargo port, with piles of marble, tiles, and minerals everywhere, a huge oil refinery nearby, a busy canal, a modern fast rail line to Athens, and a meeting point of major highways. Today, the remains of the Temple of Apollo and the marketplace are more ruined than Marek Chrostowski, Maria Latopolski, Nolan Andrew Keegel, Angel Martinez, Bronislawa Potocka, Edward Szumega, Bogdan Pawula, Peter Dowd, Walter Kalinoski, Sandra Romano, Jennifer Smyth, Jane Zwilling, Anthony James Murphy, James Christopher Burzynski, Olga Colon, David Tavakoli, Michael Watts, Amy Garcia, Caroline Schneider, Maryann Kovaluskie, Steve Stadmeyer, Mildred Abramski, Patrice Garcia, Antonio Krispino, James Luger, Jean Schwinn, Olga Bulanowski, Alicia Dowd, Angela Tolipani, Teresa Kobylinska, John Ciborowski, Eleanor Hoffmann, Ted Hoffmann, Andrew Stevenson, Alfred Tidridge, Anthony Garcia, Carlos Acevedo, Edward Tworek, Judy Sebastiano, Thomas Giuliano, Diana Sorentino, Michael Menichini, Marek Chrostowski.

ZAPROSZENIE Polska Szkoła dokształcająca im. Św.

In the sixth century, it began to be observed in the West: in Rome with a more penitential character and in Gaul (France) with solemn blessings and processions of candles, popularly known as "Candlemas." The Presentation of the Lord concludes the celebration of the Nativity and with the offerings of the Virgin Mother and the prophecy of Simeon, the events now point toward Easter. "In obedience to the Old Law, the Lord Jesus, the first-born, was presented in the Temple by his Blessed Mother and his foster father. This is another 'epiphany' celebration insofar as the Christ Child is revealed as the Messiah through the canticle and words of Simeon and the testimony of Anna the prophetess. Christ is the light of the nations, He is the Light of our families. Today there is an urgent need a need to strengthen families from within. In order to give our children a deep and lasting impression, values must be handed down with greater influence and impact. A family must be far stronger than was previously necessary. To strengthen your family: 1. Rely first of all on God's grace to help you. 2. Have your priorities in line. 3. Persist in your effort to keep family life joyful. Only when your family is strong will it have the necessary impact to reach the hearts of your children. And when you reach them, you can begin to teach them to love our Lord. To love Him by imitating Him, for love seeks to imitate the One Who is loved. To imitate Him in obedience and in the practice of Christian virtue.
