Stewardship Note: “Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of anxieties”. How much anxiety do we bring upon ourselves by constantly worrying about not having enough or attaining more things? God won’ t necessarily give you everything you want, but He will provide everything you need. Try this — use the word “pray” instead of the word “worry” in the future.. FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME February 1, 2015 Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the LORD who made us. - Psalm 95:6 SANCTUARY VOTIVE CANDLES For the week of February 1 through February 6 Sacred Heart Altar - Candle I In memory of Chester Ostrokolowicz (54th anniversary) Given by Edward and Lorraine Ostrokolowicz Blessed Mother Altar—Candle I In loving memory of Richard, Bruno & Parmelia Woznicki and Joan Marier on the anniversaries of their entering eternity. Given by Virginia and family AUTHORITY FROM GOD According to Moses, the people decided they didn’t want to hear God’s voice directly any more. It was much too frightening. Why couldn’t God send human teachers, prophets, instead? God agreed, but with a warning. The people had better listen to those teachers, because they spoke in God’s name. That arrangement, though, had its own problems, for them and for us. How do I know this teacher is truly from God? And if the teacher is from God, are all parts of the teaching meant for me? We have the Church and scripture to help us with those questions, but still there are always a few loose ends. That is the powerful significance of the sentence in today’s Gospel : “The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes”. The people knew that this Jesus was authentic—truly a teacher sent by God. They knew it by hearing him. The second collection this week is for Parish Obligations to the Diocese. Next weekend’s second collection is designated for Higher Energy and Fuel Costs. Weekly Budget $7000 CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS APPEAL The annual collection for the Catholic Home Missions will be held at our Basilica on the weekend of Feb., 14--15. This appeal supports dioceses in the US and its territories that lack the resources to provide basic pastoral ministry to their populations. NOVENA TO THE DIVINE MERCY On Sunday, February 1 at 3:00pm we set aside an hour for special devotions to the Divine Mercy. We ask parishioners and friends to please make every effort to join us in the singing of the Chaplet followed by Benediction. Page 3 FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD On Monday, February 2nd we will observe the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord referred to as Candlemass Day. According to the prescription of the law on the 40th day the child was presented to the Lord in the Temple. This very solemn day dates back to the 4th century. From Jerusalem this festivity spread around the Universal Church east and west. In the eastern tradition it was called the Feast of Visitation. When Jesus was presented to God and Blessed Mother gave Baby Jesus to Simeon he was presented to all humankind Reflecting on this mystery the Church once again welcomes Christ as Lord and Savior. This solemnity is accompanied by a procession and candles so we can publicly proclaim our faith in Jesus as the “Light of the World”. The candle that we hold is a reminder of our own Baptism. This Feast is surrounded by various devotional traditions in many countries. The blessing of candles, gromnice (available near the sanctuary stairs) will take place after the 6:30am Liturgy. You may also bring your own candles to be blessed and then lit in your homes as protection from harm. FEAST OF ST. BLAISE -On Tuesday, February 3rd we will celebrate the Feast of St. Blaise, bishop and martyr who is associated with the healing of throats. In honor of St. Blaise we at our Basilica will hold the annual blessing at this weekend Masses and on Tuesday after Masses to protect people against adversity and heal individuals from throat ailments NOVENA AND DEVOTIONS TO ST. JOSEPH Please join us on Wednesday evening, February 4th at 7:00pm for our continuing Novena and Devotions to our Patron. St. Joseph understood the worries and concerns that come from parenting children. We may ask him for the gifts of wisdom and good counsel to assist us in our vocation as parents and to protect our families. This week members of the Holy Rosary Sodality will carry the statue of St. Joseph into the sanctuary. We ask that you print your petitions legibly on the forms available in the Chapel of Our Lady of Czestochowa to be read during devotions. CATHOLIC FREE PRESS We are living in the era of instantaneous information. This information could be right or wrong —no one checks and it seems that very few people care. Nevertheless information influences our lives for better or worse. The Catholic Free Press provides the correct information, brings you the latest news and gives an analysis of events that you cannot find in the secular press. In addition, The Catholic Free Press offers local coverage of news and events throughout the Diocese, national and international issues, teachings of the Church on various topics, words of wisdom of Pope Francis and faith related articles by local and nationally acclaimed authors. You may renew or subscribe to the CFP for only $30 by using the envelope in your monthly packet and make this publication a weekly visitor to your home. FIRST FRIDAY –we will observe First Friday of the month on February 6th. Mass at 7:00am will be offered for the living members of the Sacred Heart Society and we ask all members and parishioners to take part in this traditional First Friday service.

Mass at 7:00pm will be celebrated in the Polish language. DONATIONS Gymnasium - donation of $1,000 from a parishioner who prefers anonymity. Total of donations from the January monthly envelopes is $4035. We are grateful to all of our parishioners for their generosity and support of this long awaited addition for the school and parish.

Page 4 EVANGELIZATION When you look around the world, and above all in our parish family, you clearly recognize the need for evangelization. That was the theme of the late John Paul II’s Pontificate. The question is—who should be the evangelizer? Every person who believes in God and Jesus Christ is charged through the virtue of his own baptism to bring the Good News to others. To bring a person to Christ is indeed missionary work. But before you can do that, we have to evangelize ourselves. Therefore, readings and self-study, reflections on the Holy Scripture are beautiful ways to prepare for our mission in the parish. Faith is a personal matter, but not private. The Good News has to be shared with those who need it the most. The Church gives our contemporary world, said John Paul II, the most precious good which no one else can give which is faith in Jesus Christ who is the only source of hope and will never disappoint us. Our priests will be available to bless your homes and families. Please call the rectory to set a time. Festival Appreciation Evening-on Mon. Feb. 2nd for all those who worked at the festival last year in the school cafeteria at 6:30pm.

Page 5 KRONIKA PARAFIALNA CZWARTA NIEDZIELA ZWYKŁA 1 lutego 2015 Wejdźcie, uwielbiajmy, padnijmy na twarze i zegnijmy kolana przed Panem, który nas stworzył. (Ps 95, 6) W Starym Testamencie lud Izraela lękał się słuchać Boga na Horebie, dlatego Bóg powołał proroków, aby głosili Jego słowo. W Nowym zaś On sam przemawia do ludzkich serc przez swego Syna – wcielone Słowo. Jest to „nowa nauka z mocą”, głoszona przez Tego, „który ma władzę”, niosąca światło i wolność uwięzionym w niewoli grzechu. Otwórzmy dziś na nią nasze serca, abyśmy mogli doświadczyć zbawienia od zła oraz nowego życia w wolności dzieci Bożych. KORONKA DO MIŁOSIERDZIA BOŻEGO Dzisiejsza niedziela, jest pierwszą niedzielą miesiąca, a zatem jest poświęcona w sposób szczególny Tajemnicy Bożego Miłosierdzia. Zapraszamy wszystkich parafian na godz. 15:00 na Adorację Najświętszego Sakramentu połączoną z Koronką do miłosierdzia Bożego. Dołóżmy starań, aby spędzić ten czas w szczególnej obecności Boga i otworzyć się na Jego Błogosławieństwo. OFIAROWANIE PAŃSKIE W poniedziałek, 2 lutego będziemy obchodzić Święto Ofiarowania Pańskiego. Jest to święto chrześcijańskie, które skupia w sobie trzy wydarzenia: ofiarowanie Dzieciątka Jezus w świątyni, pierwsze nawiedziny świątyni przez Jezusa oraz oczyszczenie Najświętszej Dziewicy Maryi. Poświęcenie świec odbędzie się po wszystkich Mszach św. Świece będą znajdowały się przy prezbiterium. Można również przynieść własną świecę gromniczną. Gromnice zapalamy w czasie niebezpieczeństwa i zagrożenia, prosząc Boga za przyczyna Maryi o opiekę i ratunek z opresji. ŚWIĘTO ŚW. BŁAŻEJA We wtorek, 3 lutego będziemy obchodzić Święto św. Błażeja, biskupa i męczennika, który jest patronem w chorobach gardła. To coroczne błogosławieństwo przypada w zimowe miesiące, kiedy często dokucza nam kaszel i przeziębienie. Specjalne błogosławieństwo gardeł odbędzie się po Mszach św. porannych. NOWENNA DO ŚW. JÓZEFA Dołącz do nas w środę wieczorem, 4 lutego o 19:00 na Nowennie do naszego Patrona. Józef rozumie obawy i wątpliwości, które towarzyszą wysiłkowi wychowania dzieci i tworzenia dobrej rodziny. Możemy poprosić go o dary mądrości i dobrej rady, aby wspomagał nas w powołaniu rodzicielskim i małżeńskim oraz chronił nasze rodziny. W tym tygodniu członkowie Holi Rosary Sodality są proszeni o udział w procesji z figurą św. Józefa. ZABAWA KARNAWAŁOWA Na pożegnanie karnawału Polska Szkoła Sobotnia w Webster serdecznie zaprasza na zabawę w sobotę, 7 lutego, 2015 r. od 6:30 pm do 12:30am w PACC przy 37 Harris St. w Webster.

CATHOLIC FREE PRESS Początek roku to czas, na odnowę prenumeraty naszego czasopisma katolickiego „Catholic Free Press” lub rozpoczęcie nowej. Roczna prenumerata to tylko $30. Prenumerując katolicka prasę pomagamy katolickim mediom rosnąć w siłę i przez to przyczyniamy się również do dzieła ewangelizacji, które w we współczesnym świecie nie może obejść się bez środków masowego przekazu. Nie do przecenienia jest również fakt, że treści jakie znajdziemy w prasie katolickiej pogłębiają naszą osobistą duchowość, pozwalają nam bardziej zbliżyć się do Boga i dają nam możliwość spoglądania na świat nie tylko poprzez pryzmat mediów „głównego nurtu” ale również pod kontem wiary katolickiej. W zestawach kopert na styczeń znajdują się specjalne koperty służące odnowieniu lub założeniu prenumeraty. WYPRZEDAŻ PIEROGÓW Holy Rosary Sodality organizuje wyprzedaż gołąbków i pierogów z serem, kapustą, jagodami, śliwkami oraz kapustą z grzybami. Zamówienia można składać do 2 lutego. Cena jednego tuzina pierogów: $9, paczka 4 gołąbków: $7. Zamówienia można dokonać na specjalnych formularzach znajdujących się przy wejściach do bazyliki lub dzwoniąc do Pat Mangen: 508 461 6236 lub Betty Sabaj: 508 943 8570. EWANGELIZACJA Zarówno w wymierzę ogólnoświatowym jak i naszym lokalnym odczuwalna jest ogromna potrzeba ewangelizacji. Nowa Ewangelizacja była jednym z zadań, którymi szczególnie zajmował się św. Jan Paweł II w czasie swojego pontyfikatu. Jednym z głównych problemów tego zagadnienia jest to, kto powinien być Ewangelizatorem? Najprostsza odpowiedz na to pytanie to: każdy, kto wierzy w Boga i Jezusa Chrystusa, na mocy przyjętego Sakramentu Chrztu, aby nieść Dobrą Nowinę innym, którzy jej nie znają. Doprowadzenie człowieka do Chrystusa to rzeczywista praca misyjna. Ewangelizowanie innych zawsze jednak musi rozpoczynać się od ewangelizowania samego siebie. Jednym z najlepszych sposobów ewangelizacji jest dawane świadectwo własnej wiary. RELIGIA Katecheza - Poniedziałek, 2 lutego, katecheza o godz. 17:30 w szkole.
