Stewardship Note: “Therefore, every tree that does not bear
good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” Do you
bear good fruit for Christ? Or do you spend your time, talent
and treasure constantly acquiring more toys, clutter and junk.
As we are immersed in the Holiday shopping season now might
be a good time to evaluate what gifts do we give to God?
THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT
December 8, 2013
The earth shall be filled with knowledge of the LORD, as
water covers the sea.
~ Isaiah 11:9
WONDERS
The normal response to a surprise is amazement, gratitude, and delight. By definition, we
don't anticipate surprises. Their occurrence reminds us that we cannot always guess or shape
the future. Granted, we do what we can do; we
attend the daily tasks, as we must. For grace is
surely here in the mundane, and God is in the details. But God
is in the happy surprises, too.
Today’s readings are filled with startling developments. We
hear the clarion cry of one of those rare prophets announcing
the coming of the Lord. Isaiah proclaims startling, surprising
images of the nearly impossible reconciliation of opposites:
calf and lion, leopard and young goat, child and serpent.
Isaiah’s vision sees all the these creatures living in harmony.
The second collection this week is for Higher Energy and
Fuel Costs.
Next weekend’s second collection is designated for the
Retirement Fund for Religious.
NEW MISSALLETTES
For the new Liturgical Year, we have introduced bi-lingual
missallettes We saved on the cost of two books and avoid clutter in the book rack. The scripture readings in Polish and English are printed on opposite pages. There are also a limited
number of songs and prayers in this book.
In addition, we obtained a book of English Hymns (green
hard cover) which will be used continually for many years.
This hymnal provides an abundance of songs for the different
seasons of the Liturgical year and contains English scriptural
readings for Sundays (cycle A, B, & C ) of the Liturgical year.
The readings begin at (#858).
For your information we are now beginning the Liturgical
Year (cycle A). If you would like to order a copy, please call
the rectory.
FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Patronal Feast Day of
America falls on this Sunday, December 8th, but will be observed Monday, December 9th. Masses are listed in the bulletin.

Today, Saturday, Dec. 7th, we welcome our school children
together with their parents to the 4:00pm Family Mass. We
begin the Liturgy with the students carrying lights through the
darkened church to the altar. Following Mass, we will gather
outside for the blessing and lighting of the Christmas Tree.
After that, the Home School Association will serve hot
chocolate and pastries in the school.
The Lottery Scratch Ticket Raffle drawing will be held in

Sylvia Kitka for their tireless effort and countless hours spent to
compile many events, projects, accomplishments, etc. over the
past 25-years into one remarkable and priceless volume.

traditional and new Carols sung by our Basilica choirs, accompanied by various instruments under the direction of our Choir
Director and Organist, Robert Wojcik. This exclusive offering

CATHOLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION IN WEBSTER
Several months ago the Diocese of Worcester initiated a study
on the catholic schools in the diocese with emphasis on the
three catholic schools in Webster. The result of this study was
announced publicly Nov. 30th. On December 11 & 12th we
will hold several meetings with professional experts of the Diocese of Worcester, as well as representatives of various ministries, parish and school organizations to discuss the development of catholic education in Webster. We take rightful pride
that we serve our communities with catholic schools and for
that reason preserve the vibrant parishes that emanate faith and
hope. Nevertheless, the changing population, the economy, or
the indifference of some parents to catholic education created
new challenges which will be addressed.
We kindly ask people, young and old, those who have children in catholic schools, or not, to support the mission of evangelization supporting the school.
To form the mind and heart of a young person requires a
common effort. The distinctive character of a catholic school
has been a profound contribution to the local church as well as
to the community.
ANGEL GIVING TREE
Please make “The Angel Giving Tree” in the sanctuary and
at the front entrance of the Basilica a part of your Christmas
giving. Your assistance to children and elderly will brighten
the season of Christmas for those in need. There is a great need
for tuition assistance for families who want their children to
attend St. Joseph School but are having a difficult time meeting
expenses in these economic times. Please place the angel on
your gift and place it under the tree in the sanctuary before
December 15th to allow time for distribution. If you prefer to
donate a monetary gift, please bring it to the sacristy or to the
rectory.
Your gifts will put smiles on the faces of the needy, especially the children.
St. Joseph Polish Women’s Club-Annual Christmas Party
will take place on Tues., Dec. 10th at Bistro Eighty-Ates, Rte.

NOVENA AND DEVOTION TO ST JOSEPH
On Wednesday, December 11th at 7:00pm the Lectors will
carry the statue of St. Joseph from Our Lady of Czestochowa
Chapel to the Sanctuary.
St. Joseph has been an inspiration to many and is perhaps one
of the most beloved saints among Catholics today. His life as a
husband, foster father, a craftsman, a traveler and a guide can
motivate us through his strength and grace to become a role
model for the Universal Church.
At various shrines and churches,dedicated to St. Joseph, there
are many requests for special favors and also messages of gratitude for blessings received.
Please remember to write your intentions legibly on forms
available in the Chapel. We thank you for your offerings.

KRONIKA PARAFIALNA
DRUGA NIEDZIELA ADWENTU
8 grudnia 2013
"Kraj się napełni znajomością Pana, na kształt wód,
które przepełniają morze.." (Iz 11, 9)
Maryja Niepokalana, najczystsza Dziewica
jaśniejąca
świętością,
jest
wizerunkiem
Kościoła, który kiedyś cały będzie „święty
i nieskalany przed Bożym obliczem”. Oddając
Jej cześć, wielbimy Boga, który mocą zasług
przewidzianej śmierci Jezusa zachował Ją od
grzechu, oraz wyznajemy wiarę w to, że także my, grzeszni,
staniemy się czyści dzięki tej samej ofierze krzyża. Chwała
Maryi jest znakiem, że Bóg naprawdę jest w stanie przemienić
serce każdego człowieka, który, jak Ona przy Zwiastowaniu,
zechce wypowiedzieć Mu swoje: „Tak”.
Page 5
Dzisiejsza druga kolekta będzie przeznaczona na pokrycie kosztów utrzymania i energii.
Druga kolekta w przyszła niedzielę będzie przeznaczona na Fundusz Emerytalny dla Osób Zakonnych.
NOWE MSZALIKI
Z początkiem nowego Roku Liturgicznego wprowadziliśmy
nowe, dwujęzyczne Mszaliki. Dzięki temu zaoszczędziliśmy
nie musząc kupować dwóch oddzielnych książek. Czytania z
Pisma Świętego w języku polskim i angielskim są umieszczone
obok siebie.
Ponadto zakupiliśmy śpiewnik w języku angielskim, który
jest uniwersalny i będzie używany bez przez wiele lat. Przy
okazji przypominamy, że obecnie rozpoczęliśmy rok
liturgiczny A, który jest pierwszym z cyklu trzech (ABC).
UROCZYSTOŚĆ NIEPOKALANEGO POCZĘCIA NMP
Uroczystość Niepokalanego Poczęcia NMP przypada w tym
roku w niedzielę, 8 grudnia. W związku z tym, obchody tego
święta zostają przeniesione na poniedziałek, 9 grudnia. Msze
św. w tym dniu będą odprawiane według rozkładu
umieszczonego na drugiej stronie biuletynu.
BŁOGOSŁAWIEŃSTWO CHOINKI
Dziś, w sobotę 07 grudnia, zapraszamy nasze dzieci w wieku
szkolnym wraz z rodzicami na Mszę Rodziną o godz. 16:00,
która rozpocznie się od procesji ze świecami wewnątrz
kościoła. Po Mszy w procesji przejdziemy na zewnątrz świątyni
aby uroczyście pobłogosławić i zaświecić światła na
świątecznej choince.
Po oficjalnych uroczystościach HSA zaprasza na gorącą
czekoladę i słodycze do szkolnej kafeterii. W czasie tego
spotkania odbędzie się losowanie Loterii. Będą również
dostępne do odbioru Księgi Jubileuszowe, a także do nabycia
płyty CD z kolędami w wykonaniu naszego chóru.
SPOWIEDŹ ADVENTOWA
Sakrament spowiedzi jest sprawą bardzo ważną dla nas
wszystkich, a zwłaszcza w okresie przedświątecznym, jest
niezbędny, nawet dla tych, którzy nie mają poważnych
grzechów. W poniedziałek, 16 grudnia o godzinie 18:00
zapraszamy wszystkich parafian oraz wszystkie dzieci i
młodzież, które uczęszczają na katechezę. Do pomocy zostali
zaproszeni księża z sąsiednich parafii. Prosimy rodziców i
dziadków, aby zachęcili członków rodziny, do skorzystać z tej
okazji, aby otrzymać przebaczenie grzechów dzięki dobroci i
miłosierdzia Bożego.
DEKORACJE ŚWIĄTECZNE
Jeśli możesz poświęcić kilka godzin, aby pomóc w
dekorowaniu wnętrza naszej Bazyliki na Boże Narodzenie,
zadzwoń do Fred i Sylvia Kitka na 508 943-0201. Czekamy na
wolontariuszy.
Zajęcia katechetyczne odbywają się jak zwykle w
poniedziałek. Najbliższe spotkanie 9 grudnia.
Bierzmowanie. Najbliższe spotkanie 8 grudnia o godz. 8:30
na plebanii.
OPŁATKI

ofiara to $3.
EDUKACJA KATOLICKA W WEBSTER
Od kilku miesięcy diecezja Worcester monitoruje działalność
szkół katolickich na swoim terenie. Pośród tych szkół znalazły
się również i nasze trzy szkoły w Webster. W tym tygodniu w
dniu 11 i 12 grudnia odbędzie się kilka spotkań z ekspertami z
diecezji Worcester i przedstawicielami różnych organizacji
parafialnych i szkolnych w celu omówienia wizji rozwoju
edukacji katolickiej w Webster. Jesteśmy dumni z tego, że
służymy naszej społeczności poprzez szkoły katolickie, dzięki
którym wspólnoty parafialne ożywiają się głęboką wiarą i
nadzieją. Niemniej jednak, zmiany społeczne i gospodarcze, a
czasami także i obojętność, a nawet niechęć niektórych
rodziców do edukacji katolickiej, stwarzają nowe wyzwania, z
którymi musimy się zmierzyć.
Uprzejmie zwracamy się zarówno do ludzi młodych jak i
starszych, tych którzy mają dzieci w wieku szkolnym lub nie,
aby w miarę swoich możliwości wspierali misję
ewangelizacyjną Kościoła poprzez wspieranie szkół
katolickich.
Formowanie umysłów i serc młodego pokolenia wymaga
wspólnego wysiłku. Wyjątkowy charakter szkoły katolickiej ma
ogromny wkład w tworzenie lokalnego Kościoła oraz lokalnej
społeczności.
NOWENNA I NABOŻEŃSTWO
DO ŚWIĘTEGO JÓZEFA
W środę, 11 grudnia o godzinie 19:00, jak co tydzień
spotykamy się na Nowennie do świętego Józefa. W tym
tygodniu figurę św. Józefa w procesji niosą lektorzy. Św. Józef
był inspiracją dla wielu w przeszłości i jest to chyba jeden z
najbardziej lubianych świętych wśród katolików również i
dzisiaj. Wiadomości na Jego temat w Biblii są stosunkowo
krótkie i raczej niejasne, i nie pozostawiają nam zbyt wiele
informacji o tym, kim był i co kierowało jego niezachwianą
ufnością w Boga. Jego życie jako męża, opiekuna,
rzemieślnika, podróżnika i przewodnik może nas jednak
motywować poprzez swoją siłę i łaskę, by stać się ważnymi i
silnymi wiarą członkami Kościoła powszechnego.
Prosimy pamiętać, aby intencje pisać czytelnie na
formularzach dostępnych w kaplicy Matki Bożej. Dziękujemy
za Wasze ofiary.
CHRISTMAS SHOW
Zapraszamy na coroczne Przedstawienie Bożonarodzeniowe,
które odbędzie się w Bartlett High School auditorium w
niedzielę 15 grudnia o godz. 14:00. Bilety w cenie $5 od osoby
są dostępne w naszej szkole. Zapraszamy wszystkich do
podziwiania talentów aktorskich naszych uczniów.
