Golgotha
XIV. Jesus Is Buried In The Tomb
Mary wrapped her Son in swaddling clothes for the last time.
One final kiss to the cold body.
She and her friends bid him dobranoc.
The body of Jesus lay in the tomb.
The spirit of Jesus ‘descended into hell’
There to open the gates for those that waited for this moment since the beginning of time.
Adam and Eve. Moses. Elijah.
The Prophets and Patriarchs.
Joachim and Anna.
Judas was there as well.
The kis s that outed Jesus provided him the key to his damnation.
Jesus remembered that moment…Hail Rabbi!
Lucifer knew this day would come.
He knew that God truly loved mankind.
He now grew more determined to maintain his presence in its midst.
The semen vitae aeternae grew in that cold tomb.
Its roots penetrated the universe.
Love had conquered.

PASTORAL MESSAGE
DON’T COME TO
CHURCH THIS
SUMMER!
Look, let’s be honest about it —
during summer vacation, the last thing
anyone wants to do is go to church on
Sunday. The church is hot and that
puts people into a surly mood. We
never know what to wear. Are cut-offs and T-shirts OK in
church? Even the priest wears sandals… The choir is smaller,
the servers are irregular, even the lectors sound a little put out
from the heat and humidity. The homilies are way too long —
don’t those priests know we have things to do and places to go?
The kids have all kinds of sports to play, and after all, this is
the number one priority. The beach beckons, and maybe Sunday morning is better for fishing than any other day. Saturday
night can be a lot of fun during the summer, and who wants to
wake up early Sunday after dragging into the house in the wee
hours? When school is out, it just seems natural that everything
else is on hold, too.
So what if we just cancel church for the summer?
Stay home. Don’t bother. Go somewhere else. Give us all
a break. We can save some money by shutting the place down
for a few months — and Lord knows, the summer collection
sure dips enough to make a shut-down sound attractive! We’ll
just show up for the weddings already scheduled (and maybe
not book any for next summer, just in case) and funerals, but
only if the family insists. The hospitals have their own chaplains, so don’t call us. Parish organizations can meet in private
homes. Skip the bulletin, because there won’t be anything to
report anyway.
SOUND CRAZY?
Of course it does. Nobody would seriously ever consider
such an inane idea as to shut down a parish church for the su mmer. But why is it crazy to think of the church being closed to
the people for the summer, but it’s accepted as normal for the
people to be closed to the church during the summer?
We are still here. God is still here — God, who is worthy of
our praise Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. The priests and
staff at your parish do not stop serving the people. We are fullservice all year long. Certainly people’s schedules get busier
during the summer. Frankly, we also enjoy an occasional day
at the beach or night at the movies. But as grateful as we are
for those who continue to come to Mass so faithfully, it is a bit
disheartening when we look out at the congregation and see the
extra empty spaces. And, too, the parish checkbook suffers,
even though our bills stay constant.
This is not why our ancestors fought for independence so
long ago, and why so many have died to defend our freedoms
since then. Freedom is not only freedom from, it is also freedom for — for the praise and worship of our God who loves us
and is faithful to us, even in spite of our unfaithfulness.
If you know someone who needs a gentle reminder about
their summer obligation, take some extra bulletins and pass
them on. And have a great Summer!
Fr. Michael

Chwala Ojcu i Synowi i Duchowi
Swietemu!
Tydzien po niedzieli zeslania
Ducha Swietego obchodzimy
niedziele Trójcy Swietej. Bylo
zrzadzeniem Pana Boga, ze moje
zycie zwiazane jest z kosciolami pod
tym wezwaniem. Kosciól cmentarny
w mojej rodzinnej parafii w Ulanowie
to kaplica Trójcy Swietej. Kilka lat
temu zostala podpalona, a teraz odbudowana na nowo. W
pierwszej parafii, gdzie pracowalem zaraz po swieceniach
kaplanskich (Jaroslaw) i w obecnej parafii (Goessweinstein,
diecezja Bamberg w Niemczech), gdzie pracuje od dwóch lat,
sa koscioly Trójcy Przenajswietszej. Szczególnie ten ostatni
jest kosciolem bardzo pieknym. To wlasciwie bazylika
papieska. Jest jednym z piekniejszych kosciolów w calej
Bawarii, a jego budowniczym byl Baltazar Neumann,
osobistosc znana w historii sztuki. Jako bazylika papieska,
kosciól tej rangi ma prawo do noszenia na frontonie
emblematu „panujacego” papieza. Po smierci Jana Pawla II
proboszcz byl zmartwiony koniecznoscia wydatków na nowy
emblemat. Pewna osloda dla niego byl fakt, ze mial to uczynic
dla swojego Rodaka, bo przeciez Benedykt XVI pochodzi z
Bawarii. Bazylika ta jest o wiele za duza na potrzeby samych
parafian z Goessweinstein. Dlaczego zatem taki duzy kosciól
dla liczacej 2000 mieszkanców wioski? Otóz Goessweinstein to
miejsce pielgrzymkowe. To lokalne sanktuarium Trójcy
Swietej, do którego pielgrzymuja wierzacy w okregu okolo 100
km. Sa tez pielgrzymki autokarowe, które przybywaja z
odleglosci wiekszych i od ostatniego roku—takze pielgrzymka
rowerowa. Goessweinsteinie szczyca sie swoim kosciolem, tym
bardziej ze poza nim nie ma tam nic specjalnie interesujacego.
(Moze tylko na uwage zasluguje fakt, ze poza franciszkankami
i franciszkanami, jest w Goessweinstein równiez jedno zenskie
zgromadzenie zakonne protestanckie, co jest pewnym
ewenementem w skali calych Niemiec.) Podkreslaja, ze jest to
jedno z najwiekszych sanktuariów Ducha Swietego w calych
Niemczech. Ale trzeba wiedziec, ze ten rodzaj sanktuariów jest
w ogóle rzadkoscia.
Tak, do tego sanktuarium przychodza liczne grupy, okolo
140 w roku. Jedni ludzi przychodza tu od lat. Kiedy juz nie
moga pieszo, przyjezdzaja autokarami czy samochodami
prywatnymi. Pielgrzymowanie do Trójcy Przenajswietszej!
Mysle, ze to wspanialy obraz naszego zycia. Z dwóch
powodów: po pierwsze dlatego, ze pielgrzymowanie do
jakiegokolwiek sanktuarium, czyli miejsca swietego, to obraz
naszego zycia w ogóle. A po drugie cel - Trójca Swieta. Tak,
nasze zycie jest pielgrzymowanie do pelnego wlaczenia w zycie
Trójcy Swietej! Przez chrzest w imie Ojca, i Syna, i Ducha
Swietego zycie chrzescijanina juz jest wlaczone w zycie trzech
Osób Boskich. Wszystkie sakramenty, które jak wiemy, sa
sprawowane w imie trzech Osób Boskich, a szczególnie
Eucharystia wzmacniaja to Boze zycie w nas i dodaja sil w
pielgrzymce, która jest nasze zycie.
Niech nas Bóg blogoslawi i pozwoli kiedys w pelni
uczestniczyc w tajemnicy Trójcy Przenajswietszej, która dzisiaj
czcimy przez wiare. Chwala Ojcu i Duchowi Swietemu; jak
byla na poczatku, teraz i zawsze, i na wieki wieków. Amen.

ALUMNI REUNION FOLLOW-UP
This past Sunday’s successful Alumni Reunion began with a beautiful Mass followed by a picnic in the Social Center. As one alumni stated: “The celebration of the
Mass brought tears to my eyes.” The silk banners, the music, the flowers, the sermon,
and all the other special touches of our parishioners made the alumni feel very we lcome at our Shrine Church. Although it rained that afternoon, the spirit of the alums
never dampened. Afterwards in the Social Center, box lunches, pizza, 50/50 raffles,
instant bingos, fun, laughter, and much conversation permeated the event that was attended by 150 former graduates from both our grade school and high school. Our
parish has such a rich history as our alums lovingly shared their stories. One alum
met another classmate she hadn’t seen since she graduated from St. Stan’s Grade
School. When they met, she said: “So, Ralph, what have you been doing for the last
62 years?” Thank you to all who made this event special.

ST. STAN’S HISTORICAL FACT
An article from the student newspaper
of St. Stanislaus High School, “The Spire,”
in June of 1947 tells us of the events of the
first ever Commencement for St. Stan’s
High. The first Senior Class was made up
of twelve students . The graduating class
attended 8 AM Mass on Sunday as a group.
A Communion Breakfast was served in the
High School. The Pastor, Reverend Vitalis
Bartkowiak OFM, presented the twelve
graduates with their diplomas at the Commencement which took place at 3 PM in
the church. The first graduates were Florence Durdella, Bernice Matuszewski,
Michaleen Krajewski, Rosemarie Owsiany,
Edward J. Pannent, Joseph Skingel, Richard Wisniewski, Robert Lange, Raymond
Gajewski, Raymond Krolikowski, Edward
Zeszut, and Donald Lubecki. Underclassmen paid tribute to the outgoing Seniors on
May 26 of that year at an entertainment
assembly. The Freshman did a presentation
of Gilbert & Sullivan’s, “H.M.S. Pinafore.”
Oddly enough the very last dramatic production staged at St. Stan’s High in the last
year of its existence in 1969 was the same,
“H.M.S. Pinafore.”

PILGRIMAGE TO
THE SACRED PLACES
OF THE CITY OF
STANISLAUS AND
JOHN PAUL II
Join Fr. Mike Surufka and David
Krakowski on a pilgrimage to Krakow
to visit sacred places of the city of
Stanislaus and John Paul II. Also during
the trip, the group will accept the new
icon which will be installed at our
Shrine Church in Cleveland.
The unusually heavy storm and winds of May 31, damaged the copper sheeting of the
cupola on our church. In order to prevent any further damage we contracted the repair
work for the following Friday. The contractor provided a 200 foot crane to do the job.
The total cost of the job was $9,000.00, and all but $1,000.00 (our deductible) was
covered by our insurance.
