Stewardship note: “God is not the God of the dead but of the
living.” (Luke 20:38) A wise grandmother once told her grandchildren before she died: “Don’t worry about flowers for me
once I’m gone. Give your flowers to the living.” Her exhortation is a perfect definition of stewardship—giving your flowers
to the living.
THIRTY SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
November 10, 2013
My steps have been steadfast in your paths, my feet have not
faltered. I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God.
- Psalm 17:5-6a
THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD
In the Apostles’ Creed we proclaim that we
“believe in the communion of saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the
body, and life everlasting.” Today’s readings
invite us to explore these beliefs.
The passage from Second Maccabees makes it clear that
belief in the resurrection of the dead was not born in
Christianity, but in a time preceding Jesus’ coming. The
martyred brothers proclaim their conviction that God will raise
them to new life. No threat of death can bring them to break
one of their religious laws. Death of their bodies is no death at
all, compared to the spiritual death that would result from
transgressing the law.
The silly riddle about marriage put to Jesus in the Gospel
gives him an opportunity to speak of the “coming age,” when
no one will be given in marriage, and no one will be liable to
death. Jesus too stresses how ancient is this teaching,
attributing this belief to Moses, who knew that God is the God
This weekend’s second collection is for
Higher Utilities and Energy Costs.
VETERANS DAY
Monday November 11th is Veterans Day or Armistice Day,
It is a federal and state holiday, therefore St. Joseph School and
the rectory will be closed.
THANKSGIVING DINNER
The Hospitality Committee invites all parishioners and school
families to attend a traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner, with
all the fixings, on Saturday, November 16, 2013 in the school
cafeteria. Dinner will be served after 4:00pm Mass. Tickets
are $8 per person for adults, $6 for children under 12. Tickets
will be available at the rectory and after Masses this weekend. Door prizes and special surprises will be part of the evening's festivities. Please join us for this great occasion.
ST. JOSEPH POLISH WOMEN’S CLUB
Annual Mass for deceased members of the SJPWC will be
held on Tuesday, Nov., 12th at 7:00pm followed by the
monthly general meeting. Hostess is Genevieve Lariviere assisted by Lorraine Brissette, Stella Miller and Ann Scanlon.

LOTTERY SCRATCH TICKET RAFFLE
RAFFLE ALERT… The rectory received an envelope for
the purchase of two Lottery Raffle tickets. The end stubs with
the name, etc. was not included. Ticket numbers are #725 and
#733. Please check if you have these ticket stubs, complete the
information and return the stubs to the rectory.
Thank you for your scratch ticket raffle returns made to date.
We have a ways to go, so please keep your returns coming.
Additional raffle tickets will be available next weekend at the
entrances to the church and from committee members attending
the parish Thanksgiving Dinner on November 16th following
the 4:00pm Mass. Raffle flyers with details are at the entrances
to the church.
NOVENA AND DEVOTIONS TO ST. JOSEPH
Devotions to St. Joseph will be held on Wed., November 13th at
7:00pm. We invite parishoners to join us and write their intentions
to be offered during the Novena. The intention request cards are
available in the Chapel. Please designate if you wish your
intentions to be read publicly or known only to the celebrant during
the Novena. Members of the Sacred Heart Society will carry the
statue of St. Joseph from Our Lady of Czestochowa Chapel to the
sanctuary. As always we are grateful for the graces requested
through the intercession of St. Joseph and the offerings you place
in the petition box.
ALL SOULS DAY
The month of November in church life is dedicated to the
souls in Purgatory. Our prayers, “wypominki” and acts of charity show our gratitude to those who made a difference in our
personal life and in the life of our parish. Every day since All
Souls Day up to Nov. 8th we prayed the rosary and all names
submitted in the wypominki envelopes were read during the
service asking for God’s mercy. These envelopes will remain
on the altar during November in remembrance of our loved
ones.
At the 8:30am Mass on All Souls Day we remembered thirtyeight St. Joseph Basilica parishioners who entered into the eternal Kingdom of Life. Votive lights were lit for each one in the
sanctuary.
I was saddened that for some recently deceased parishioners
no family members attended or lit a candle. How quickly people forget! Only our parish church, entreats God’s mercy on
your soul.
During the entire year, but especially in November, please
remember your parents, benefactors and friends in your prayers
knowing that the most effective prayer is the Eucharistic sacrifice.
125TH ANNIVERSARY BOOK
There is still time to order your prepaid copy of the anniversary book at a cost of $30. Order forms are at the entrances of
the church. The deadline for all prepaid orders at $30 is
extended through Sunday, November 17th. Once published, the cost will be $40. If you have preordered a book,
please remit your $30 payment to the rectory before the deadline. A list of names of preordered books is posted at the entrances of the church. We kindly ask for your response by the
deadline date. It will save us the time of a reminder call to the
people on the preorder list.
Thank you—Sylvia Kitka
MINISTRIES OF ST. JOSEPH BASILICA
Everyone who is involved in any ministry at St. Joseph Basilica is expected to fulfill their obligations according to their
schedule. This especially includes Eucharistic ministers, lectors, and altar servers. Many parishes have the entire team
serving even during weekday Masses. We require this service
only on weekends and your obligation should be taken seriously
and joyfully.
It is suggested by the Diocesan policy those involved in a
particular ministry should serve for 3 years and then maybe join
another ministry. More people in each ministry will result in a
more flexible schedule. Parents may be attached to a particular
weekend Mass, but sometimes we must adjust our plans so the
altar servers may keep their designated schedule.
All individuals involved in parish ministries participate in
the mission of the Church and are bound by Church teachings.
HOME SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
The HSA will hold a frozen pierogi, cabbage and kielbasy
sale this weekend, Nov. 9 & 10th and next weekend Nov. 16th

FELICIAN SISTERS
Invite you to attend their Annual Pre-Christmas Fair, on Sat.,
Nov. 23 from 9am to 4pm. The day will include an

items and homemade bread-Babka, to enjoy homemade food,
and play TURKEY BINGO between 1:00-3:00. This event is
held to benefit elderly and infirmed Felician Sisters.

GYM UPDATE
I was informed by Lauring Construction that within the next
few weeks, they anticipate the steel to arrive. In order to be
ready, they need to increase their work hours per day including
Saturdays. Retrospectively, we began with a concept, then a
proposal, then we signed the contract, and now we are only a
few months away from a new gym.
I’m grateful to the executive gym committee, under the
leadership of Mr. John Goglonski, Chairman. On behalf of the
children, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your
unambiguous support and prayers
THANK YOU
On behalf of the children of St. Joseph School we extend our
gratitude to Dariusz & Dorota Ochocki who donated a
Christmas tree that was planted in front of the rectory. This tree
will continue to grow and will be decorated every year for the
Christmas Season.
We appreciate the benevolence of the Ochocki family for
their numerous acts of kindness and donated services around
the church, rectory and especially the cemetery. May God
reward the goodness of their heart.
PILGRIMAGE TO POLAND
Since ancient times people have been making pilgrimages to
places which were well known for their supernatural
phenomena. They usually walked for many days to encounter
God whose presence in that place was demonstrated by various
miracles and experiences. Up to the present day, a pilgrimage
is considered an integral part of pastoral practices. A
pilgrimage begins not when you step onto a bus or plane, but
when you make your intention to go to a special place for a
specific purpose. Which means you make a personal intention
for which you undertake the pilgrimage and pray every day to
God for this particular grace.
Everyone in his or her life should take part in a pilgrimage to
obtain needed favors from God especially on the occasion of
our 125th Jubilee.
DONATIONS
St. Joseph Basilica - a generous donation of $300 by the
Kolodziejczak Family on the occasion of the baptism of Chase
Adams. We welcome Chase into our St. Joseph family and
with the guidance of the Holy Spirit may he grow into a true

Friends of St. Joseph School Fund - in memory of Wanda
Dapkiewicz given by Sacred Heart Society.
St. Joseph School Immediate Needs Fund - in memory of

KRONIKA PARAFIALNA
TRZYDZIESTA DRUGA NIEDZIELA ZWYKŁA
10 listopada 2013
Moje kroki trzymały się mocno na Twoich ścieżkach, moje
stopy się nie zachwiały. Wzywam Cię, bo Ty mnie wysłuchasz,
o Boże! (Ps 17, 5-6a)
Życie jest większe od wszelkich naszych
przemądrzałych spekulacji, od popularności,
ideologii
i misternie
skonstruowanych
systemów pojęć. Czasem wydaje się nam, że
żyjemy, a tak naprawdę spętaliśmy życie
w sieć nazw. Cieszy nas ich brzmienie:
profesor, prezes, gwiazda, zwycięzca. Niektórzy tak oderwali
się od życia, że dopiero wzmianka w gazecie przekonuje ich, że
zaistnieli. Tymczasem to „Bóg jest Bogiem żywych” i tylko
wracając do Niego, wracamy naprawdę do życia.
Dzisiejsza druga kolekta jest przeznaczona na pokrycie
kosztów utrzymania i energii

Jak zawsze jesteśmy wdzięczni za zanoszone modlitwy i
ofiary zanoszone wypraszane przez wstawiennictwo św.
Józefa .
DZIEŃ ZADUSZNY
Miesiąc listopad w tradycji kościoła jest poświęcony pamięci
i modlitwom za dusze w czyśćcu. Nasze modlitwy i
"wypominki " oraz akty miłosierdzia są wyrazem naszej
wdzięczności dla tych, którzy dokonali pozytywnych zmian w
naszym życiu osobistym oraz społecznym i parafialnym.
Każdego dnia od dnia Wszystkich Świętych aż do 08 listopada
modliliśmy się na różańcu w intencji wszystkich, których
wspominamy w „Wypominkach”. Koperty z imionami
zmarłych pozostaną na ołtarzu przez cały listopad.
Zasmucony fakt, że niektórzy parafianie, którzy niedawno
pożegnali zmarłych członków rodziny nie uczestniczyli w
nabożeństwach za zmarłych ani nawet nie zapalili znicza na ich
grobie. Jak szybko ludzie zapominają...! W ciągu całego roku,
a zwłaszcza w listopadzie, winniśmy pamięć w modlitwie

zamówiły księgę jest umieszczona przy wejściach do kościoła.
Dziękuję - Sylvia Kitka
SALA GIMNASTYCZNA
Ostatnio otrzymaliśmy informację od Lauring Construction,
głównego wykonawcę budowy naszej Sali gimnastycznej, że w
ciągu najbliższych kilku tygodni, otrzyma zamówioną na
budowę stal. W celu przygotowania się, pracownicy muszą
zwiększyć swoje godziny pracy dziennie, włączając w to
również soboty. Patrząc w wstecz widzimy, z wszystko zaczęło
się od pomysłu, potem była podjęta decyzja, która
zaowocowała podpisaniem kontraktów, a teraz dzieli nas już
tylko kilka miesięcy od nowej Sali gimnastycznej.
W imieniu dzieci jesteśmy wdzięczny komitetowi
wykonawczemu, pod przewodnictwem pana John’a Goglonski,
oraz wszystkim ludzom dobrej woli za wsparcie i modlitwy .
DZIĘKUJEMY
W imieniu dzieci z z naszej Szkoły wyrażamy naszą
wdzięczność państwu Dariuszowi i Dorocie Ochockim, którzy
ofiarowali choinkę, która została zasadzona naprzeciwko
plebanii. Mamy nadzieję, ż ebedzie nam służyła przez wiele
długich lat jak dekoracja na święta Bożego Narodzenia .
Doceniamy życzliwość rodziny Ochockich za wiele aktów
życzliwości i dobroci kościoła i naszej parafii, a szczególnie w
pracach na cmentarzu. Niech Bóg im wynagrodzi ich dobroć.
PIELGRZYMKA DO POLSKI
Od czasów starożytnych ludzie podejmowali pielgrzymki do
miejsc, które były dobrze znane ze swoich nadprzyrodzonych
zjawisk. Zwykle podróż trwała przez wiele dni, aby spotkać
Boga, którego szczególna obecność w tym miejscu została
wykazana poprzez różnorodne cuda i łaski. Do dnia
dzisiejszego pielgrzymki funkcjonują za jeden z ważniejszych
elementów posługi duszpasterskiej. Pielgrzymka nie
rozpoczyna się w momencie wejścia do autobusu lub samolotu,
ale już w trakcie podejmowania decyzji udania się udać
szczególnego miejsca w konkretnym, pobożnym celu.
Każdy w swoim życiu powinien wziąć udział w pielgrzymce
aby uzyskania potrzebnych łask od Boga, zwłaszcza z okazji
naszego Jubileuszu 125 –lecia.
