Prevent Your Tax Dollars Funding Abortion Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in America, is funded in large part by your hard earned tax dollars. In 2012, Planned Parenthood performed 327,166 abortions while collecting well over half a billion dollars from U.S. taxpayers. That is according to its own Annual Report and works out to an average of one abortion every 94 seconds! In addition to Planned Parenthood's abortion business, it uses this money to promote, advertise and market the "benefits" of abortion, including partial birth abortion. Planned Parenthood's market share of the abortion industry continues to increase in spite of the total number of abortions declining. Planned Parenthood has reportedly spent hundreds of millions from the pockets of hard-working Americans fighting lawsuits, legislation and other efforts, which have tried to reduce the numbers of abortions. Planned Parenthood has litigated in the US Supreme Court, trying to deny a law passed by Congress that banned the hideous and barbaric partial-birth abortion procedure. Now is the time to take a stand against Planned Parenthood and this horrible misuse of public funds. Let your voice be heard! Please let your Senator know that you do not want your money spent on the abortion industry.
St. William TO TEACH WHO CHRIST IS CAMPAIGN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION To Teach Who Christ Is is not just the theme of our campaign it is how we spread the Gospel through religious education. The Archdiocese of Chicago is raising $350 million for faith formation, as well as parishes and Catholic education, through To Teach Who Christ Is. Wave V of the To Teach Who Christ Is This campaign is now at 100 percent of goal, with parishes collectively raising $40.3 million as of June 10. The generosity of the faithful in Chicago is inspiring, says Archbishop Blase Cupich. We are blessed to have so many people committed to strengthening their parishes as well as the ministries of the Archdiocese of Chicago that benefit us all. The 67 parishes participating in Wave V began preparing for their campaigns in January before publicly launching in March. Thanks to the generosity of more than 11,000 donors, Wave V has met goal and 38 parishes have already exceeded their individual goals. All parishes continue to invite parishioners to participate in the campaign. Wave V is the first parish wave in any archdiocesan capital campaign to raise more than $40 million. Pastors and parish leaders recently reflected on their history making success. We presented our specific ideas and potential projects to our parishioners before the campaign, says Father Tim Fiala, pastor of Divine Providence Parish in Westchester, Parishioners saw the capital improvements as tangible and necessary. They then embraced the campaign and supported it with extreme generosity. Divine Providence, which has raised 110 percent of its goal, will create a maintenance fund with its share of campaign gifts. Father Stephen Bedeniković, OFM, pastor of Sacred Heart Croatian Parish, says To Teach Who Christ Is helped him to identify the future needs of the parish, such as improvements to the church, convent, school and parish hall. The Chicago parish has raised 110 percent of its goal. People never cease to amaze me in their generosity and sense of commitment to their parish, he says. St. Bernardine Parish in Forest Park is now at 132 percent of its goal, thanks to the willingness of the Campaign Executive Committee to invite fellow parishioners to support the campaign, which will fund Page Five repairs to Fearon Hall, the church and the rectory, according to Donna Gawlas, a Campaign Executive Committee chairperson. The personal ask and resultant conversations were important, she says. We have generous parishioners who were willing to help, and, knowing that the money would be used for specific and needed parish goals, wanted to contribute to the vibrancy and growth of our parish. Erin Roeper, a Campaign Executive Committee member at St. Joseph Parish in Homewood, credits the efforts of parish volunteers, the generosity of parishioners, and their new pastor s energy and positive attitude for reaching 148 percent of goal. But Father Robert Kyfes admits to being skeptical when To Teach Who Christ Is launched at St. Joseph. Parishioners had donated nearly $800,000 just a few years ago for the parish centennial. He wondered if achieving the campaign goal of $765,000 was possible. But thanks to the well-designed program, our patient and knowledgeable consultant, and a dedicated Campaign Executive Committee of parishioners, we re now just $40,000 short of $1.2 million in pledges from 20 percent of parish households. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION REGISTRATION The Religious Education Program is designed for children from 1st grade through 8th grade that do not attend a Catholic Elementary School. The program is an essential responsibility for our parish to help children learn and grow in faith formation and to fulfill the Baptismal promise made when a child was baptized to raise the child in the Catholic faith. The religious education of a child is about all of us, as members of the Church learning, witnessing and growing together, as God s family. The Spirit of God gathers us together when a child attends Religious Education and teaches, nourishes and strengthens us to be good followers of Jesus. Our program begins on Sunday, September 18 and continues through Sunday, May 21, 2017.We meet every Sunday and attend the Noon Mass on the first and third Sundays of a month. Registration will be on Sunday, August 28 and September 11 from 9 AM to 12 PM in the lobby of the school. Bring $50 registration fee and child s Baptism Certificate. Registration forms and additional information including tuition rates for families can be obtained at the Rectory office or by contacting Julie Gorski at 630-697-7294 prior to the registration dates.

Przypominamy, że wybierając się do kościoła należy pamiętać o tym, że świątynia nie jest miejscem rekreacji lecz kultu. Ubranie powinno zasłaniać ramiona, brzuch oraz nogi. Nasz strój w kościele świadczy o nas jako chrześcijanach. Zbyt skąpy ubiór może rozpraszać innych wiernych i przeszkadzać im w przeżywaniu liturgii.

Po procesji odbędzie się zabawa włoska, gdzie można będzie zjeść posiłki wloskie czy wypić włoskie piwo od godziny 4 tej PM do godizny 9 tej PM Zapraszamy.
"Marto, Marto, troszczysz się i niepokoisz o wiele, a potrzeba tak mało albo tylko jednego. Marta z Betanii umiała ugościć Chrystusa w swoim domu, ale nie umiała, jak Maria, ugościć Go w sercu. Pan napomniał zakrzątaną Martę. Później jednak Marta zdołała, jak mało kto, rozpoznać w Jezusie Mesjasza i Syna Bożego, który miał przyjść na świat. Nie wiemy, co dokonało się w jej sercu. Wiemy jednak, że uznanie Chrystusa za swojego domownika dało owej przemianie początek. W postawie Marty i Marii Jezus ukazuje dwa etapy na drodze rozwoju życia religijnego. Pierwszy to etap wielkiego wysiłku, by Bogu dać wszystko, na co człowieka stać, drugi to etap otwarcia siebie na Jego działanie. Wtedy Bóg daje, a człowiek odbiera. Piękno życia religijnego można w pełni odkryć dopiero na tym drugim etapie. Jezus chwaląc postawę Marii wzywa do sięgania po coś lepszego, wzywa do doskonalenia życia religijnego. Często próbuje się przeciwstawić postawę Marty i Marii. Tymczasem Jezusowi nie chodziło o przeciwstawienie, lecz o wezwanie Marty do wejścia o stopień wyżej w rozwoju miłości. Maria, obok Matki Chrystusa, jest tą osobą w Ewangelii, która odkryła głęboki sens przykazania miłości wzajemnej. Jezus wzywa jej siostrę Martę, a razem z nią każdego z nas, do wejścia na ten stopień ewangelicznej doskonałości. Maria razem ze swoją siostrą prowadziła gospodarstwo domowe, a potrafiła otworzyć swe serce na najwyższe wartości. Świętość nie zależy od okoliczności zewnętrznych, lecz od pragnienia serca głodnego słowa Bożego. Najpierw trzeba być Marią, potem Martą. Niekiedy sytuacja jest taka, że działanie musi być natychmiastowe i nie ma czasu na modlitwę, ale modlitwa i tak musi być ważniejsza, nawet jeśli pilniejsza jest praca. Wtedy szybko zrób, co trzeba, a zaraz potem pomódl i podziękuj Bogu. Uczmy się więc od Marii wybierać i kochać to, co najważniejsze, a od Marty pracować. Resztę pozostawmy Jezusowi.
