SHARING OUR BLESSINGS-September 14, 2014
Weekly $4748 (including $238 in loose money); Diocesan
Obligations $257; Fuel $1788.15 (including $99.15
in loose money); Electronic giving $254
Weekly Budget $7000 - +$47.15
21 wrzesnia 2014r.
Stewardship Note: In today’s Gospel, the vineyard owner
says, “I am free to do as I please with my money, am I not?”
We are likewise free. Is a generous return to the Lord in
thanksgiving for His many blessings among the choices we
have made?
TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
September 21, 2014
Turn to the LORD for mercy; to our God, who is generous
in forgiving.
- Isaiah 55:7b
SEEK THE LORD
In today’s opening reading, Isaiah urges us to “seek the
LORD” who is “near” and can be “found”. Then Isaiah says
God’s ways are as high above our ways “as the heavens are
above the earth”. So we search, not because God is hiding, but
because our tendencies are so different from God’s ways that
we get lost.
How are God’s ways so high above our ways? The example
Isaiah gives is that God’s way is to be “generous in forgiving”.
And our way? We try to be “fair”. You hurt me, so then I hurt
you back, just as hard. Then, of course, you . . . And on it goes.
In today’s Gospel Jesus teaches that God is not “fair” like
that. Instead, God is so generous we can hardly understand it.
The same wage for one hour as for a whole day of work? Not
fair! “Seek the Lord,” and we might find a God who calls us to
be, not fair, but generous beyond expectations.
This week’s second collection is for the Religious Education Program (CCD) to provide text books, audio visual materials for our students and various expenses for the mandatory
retreats including our confirmation class.
Next weekend’s second collection is designated for the Fall
Catholic School Appeal.
Reminder: Diocesan Wedding Anniversary Mass will be held
on Sunday, Sept. 21st at St. Paul’s Cathedral at 3:00pm.
MASS BOOK FOR THE YEAR 2015
Beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 23rd, we will be accepting reservations for masses for the year 2015. Weekday masses ($10)
and weekend and Holy Day masses ($15 are available on a first
come-first-serve basis. Rectory hours are 9:00am until noon
and 1:00pm until 4:00pm on Mon, Tues., Wed. and Fri. (closed
on Thursdays). Telephone requests will be taken only from
those who are handicapped and unable to come to the rectory.
The best gift offered for family members on special occasions is to offer the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Eucharistic
sacrifice is the most effective prayer and therefore should be
requested for the deceased and living alike. It has been a tradition that people request a mass on their wedding anniversaries,
birthdays, special events and for their children.

NOVENA AND DEVOTION TO ST. JOSEPH
On Wednesday, Sept. 24th at 7:00 the Knights of Columbus
of St. Joseph Basilica will join parishioners and friends for our
weekly Novena, Devotion and Mass to our Patron Saint. Father
Gregory Zielinski will be celebrant and homilist.
Anyone visiting the St. Joseph Shrine in Montreal Canada is
overwhelmed by the number of crutches and canes left in the
Shrine as a result of miraculous healings. In addition there are
many more or less expensive gifts that decorate the Icon of St.
Joseph or in adjacent chapel left in the spirit of gratitude. There
are volumes of personal notes and messages again in thanksgiving for particular blessings. Miracles happen in many places
where there is faith and human effort.
ANNUAL CATHOLIC SCHOOL APPEAL
The media in recent months seem to be focusing more and
more on the many crimes and abuse of the children. The reporters conclude that this is happening as a result of demise of the
family and disintegration of the values in the society. Quite
often the crimes are committed by the youth whose attorneys
claim that they could not tell right from wrong at the time of
crime. It seems that most of us are aware that moral values are
disappearing, and yet not much is done about it.
Strangely enough Catholic schools, where the values are
primary component of the education, are not supported financially by the state or federal government despite the fact that
parents are paying taxes just like parents whose children attend
public schools. If you compare the cost of educating one child
in public schools, it varies from $15,000 to $24,000 depending
on the state. The cost of educating a child at St. Joseph School
is about $5,500, while tuition charged to parishioners is only
$3,500, so that the parents could afford to take advantage of this
opportunity for their children. The difference in the cost comes
from many fundraisers. Catholic schools do more for less.
Next weekend, September 27-28, second collection is being
taken in all the parishes for the Catholic schools. Parishes that
operate schools retain the collection for their own school. Others may forward it to the chosen school or send it to the Diocese. Your September packet includes a special envelope for
this collection. Please be generous. We need each one of you in
order to continue our mission. Many of you are graduates of
this school, or your children graduated from St. Joseph’s. Even
if they don’t live in the area, please reach out to them to give
back . There was never more urgent time than now.
CASH CALENDAR WINNERS
Sept. 14 - $100, George Baldowski, Webster; Sept. 15 - $50,

KRONIKA PARAFIALNA
W dzisiejszej Ewangelii własciciel winnicy mówi: „Czyż nie
mam prawa robić z moimi pieniędzmi, co mi się podoba?” My
też mamy takie prawo. Czy w wyborach, które dokonujemy jest
miejsce na okazanie wdzięcznosci Bogu za wszystkie łaski,
któymi nas obdarza?
Page 5
Szukanie Boga. W dzisiejszym czytaniu prorok Izajasz
zachęca do “szukania Boga”, który jest “blisko” i można go
znaleźć. Mówi, że drogi Boskie są ponad naszymi drogami tak
daleko jak z ziemi do nieba. Nie możemy ich znaleźć jednak
nie dlatego, że Bóg się ukrywa, ale dlatego, że nasze czyny,
nasze wybory sprawiają, że się gubimy. Izajasz tłumaczy, że
Bóg jest szczodry w miłosierdzie. A my? My staramy się być
sprawiedliwi. Jeżeli Ty mnie zranisz, to ja zranię Ciebie. I tak
bez końca… W dzisiejszej Ewangelii Jezus uczy, że sprawiedliwosć Boża nie jest taka sama. A raczej, Boże miłosierdzie jest
tak wielkie, że nie możemy sobie tego wyobrazić. Własciciel
winnicy oferował tę samą zapłatę za godzinę pracy co za cały
dzień - Niesprawiedliwe! Szukajmy Boga, a może znajdziemy
w sobie to, żeby nie zawsze być sprawiedliwym ale raczej
szczodrym ponad wszystko.
Religia. Zapraszamy na katechezę uczniów z klas od 1– 10 w
poniedziałek, 22 wrzesnia o 5:30 w szkole. Formy zapisów na
Bierzmowanie są w zakrystii.
Druga kolekta w ten weekend zbierana jest na program nauki
religii w naszej parafii, na pokrycie kosztów zakupu podręczników i pomocy dydaktycznych, jak też koszty różnych seminariów i rekolekcji. Prosimy o ofiarnosć.
Książka na intencje mszalne na rok 2015 jest już gotowa.
Od wtorku będzie można zamawiać Msze sw., które są rezerwowane w kolejnosci zapisów. Proponowana ofiara to $10 za
Msze sw. w tygodniu i $15 za Msze sw. w weekend. Biuro
parafialne w tym celu jest otwarte od poniedziałku do piątku (z
wyjątkiem czwartku) od 9-12 i od 13-ej do 16-ej. Telefoniczne
zgłoszenia będą przyjmowane tylko od osób, które z powodu
choroby czy inwalidztwa nie mogą przyjsć osobiscie.
Najlepszym prezentem jaki możemy ofiarować bliskim z różnych okazji jest Msza sw., którą można i powinno się
zamawiać nie tylko za zmarłych, ale również za żyjących.
Popularne okazje to rocznice małżeństwa, urodziny, ważne
wydarzenia w życiu, o zdrowie dzieci czy rodziców, o łaski
nawrócenia, czy też wyleczenia z nałogów. Nie zapomnijmy o
tej najbardziej efektywnej formie modlitwy jaką jest Msza
swięta, kiedy myslimy o swoich bliskich.
Nowenna do sw. Józefa będzie w srodę, 24 wrzesnia o 7pm.
Celebransem i kaznodzieją będzie ks. Grzegorz Zielinski, a
statuę wniosą do sanktuarium Rycerze Kolumba.
Wierni odwiedzający Sanktuarium sw. Józefa w Montrealu
są zaskoczeni iloscią pozostawionych tam lasek i kul inwalidzkich, jako dowód na cudowne uzdrowienie. Wiele wotów wieszanych jest przy cudownym obrazie i w kaplicy w duchu
wdzięcznosci za otrzymane łaski. Ale cuda mogą się zdarzyć w
różnych miejscach, gdzie obecna jest wiara i ludzki wysiłek.
Ze szkoły sw. Józefa. W niedzielę, 5 października o 1pm,
Szkoła sw. Józefa organizuje “Rajd rowerowy” w celu zebrania
funduszów na Emergency Room przy szpitalu w Webster oraz
na nową salę gimnastyczną. Zysk podzielony będzie po równo.
Trasa będzie około 2 mil. Szczegóły w załączonej broszurce.
Price Chopper. Bardzo prosimy o zarejestrowanie swojej karty
z Price Chopper na Szkołę sw. Józefa. Za punkty, które pomożecie nam uzbierać, będziemy mogli zakupić różne pomoce
potrzebne w szkole. Kod szkoły to 14300 i trzeba to zgłosić na
stoisku obsługi klienta. Potrzebujemy 50 osób przed 24.IX.
Amazon.com. Tych którzy robią zakupy na Amazon.com,
prosimy o wchodzenie na stronę przez link zamieszczony na
stronie szkoły sw. Józefa na www.stjosephwebster.com. Szkoła
zarabia 4% wartosci każdych zakupów, a kupującego to nic nie
kosztuje.
Szkoły katolickie. Druga kolekta w weekend 27 i 28 wrzesnia
zbierana jest w całej diecezji na wsparcie szkół katolickich.
Ofiary zebrine w parafiach, które maja swoje szkoły pozostają
w tych szkołach, dlatego to co zbierzemy będzie przeznaczone
na Szkołę sw. Józefa.
Coraz więcej czasu w mediach poswieca się na ciągle rosnącą
ilosć przestępstw. Reporterzy przypisują to do rozpadu życia
rodzinnego jak też do zanikania wartosci moralnych w
społeczeństwie. Coraz więcej przestępstw popełnianych jest
przez młodzież, których adwokaci bronią tłumacząc, że w
chwili popełnienia przestępstwa nie potrafili odróżnić dobra od
zła. Wydaje się, że wszyscy są swiadomi i zgadzają się z tym,
że coraz częsciej zauważa się zanik wartosci moralnych, a
jednak nie wiele się robi, żeby temu zapobiec.
Ironicznie, szkoły katolickie, w których wartosci moralne są
podstawowym elementem nauczania, nie otrzymują ŻADNEJ
pomocy finansowje z państwa i stanu, pomimo, że rodzice
dzieci w tych szkoła płacą takie same podatki na utrzymanie
szkół jak inni.
Koszt wykształcenia dziecka w szkole
publicznej w zależnosci od stanu waha się od $15,000 do
$24,000. W Webster w 2012 roku było to prawie $13,000. W
Szkole sw. Józefa ten koszt wynosi ok. $5,500, a czesne dla
parafian wynosi tylko $3,500 na rok, aby rodzice mogli sobie
pozwolić na zapisanie dziecka do naszej szkoły. Różnice
uzupełniamy z różnych fundraisers i kolekt jak ta w przyszłym
tygodniu. Teraz, jak nigdy wczesniej, potrzebujemy pomocy
od każdego z Was, abysmy mogli kontynuować naszą misję.
Festiwal w parafii MB Czestochowskiej w Worcester przy 34
Ward St., na cel Szkoły sw. Maryi Panny (St. Mary’s) będzie 4
października od 10-ej do 19-ej i w niedzielę od 7-ej do 14-ej w
sali pod kosciołem. Zapraszamy na smaczne polskie jedzenie,
wypieki, loterie, i wiele różnosci dla każdego. W niedzielę rano
będzie sniadanie “all-you-can-eat” od 7-11. Ks. Ryszard
serdecznie zaprasza, a po szczegóły można dzwonić na plebanię
na numer 508-755-5959.
St. Joseph Polish Women’s Club jest w trakcie kampanii
szukania nowych członków, którzy będą oficjalnie przyjęci do
koła 19 października o 9:30. Oryginalnie klub powstał z
inicjatywy Polek, które dedykowały swój czas na wzrost parafii
i szkoły. Teraz klub przyjmuje członkinie różnych
narodowosci, z racji tego, że praktycznie nie ma tam już
członków z Nowej Emigracji. Bardzo proszę i zachęcam, aby
zapisać się do tej aktywnej organizacji. Po informacje można
dzwonić na plebanię.
SJPWC będzie prowadzić loterię, w której można wygrać plik
“zdrapek” loteryjnych. Losy w cenie $10 można zakupić u
Anny Kudroń 508-943-5405. Dochód jest na wsparcie uczniów
i Szkoły sw. Józefa.
Parafia sw. Ludwika zaprasza na jesienny festival 28 wrzesnia
na parkingu przy 14 Lake St. w Webster. Dobre jedzenie i
wiele atrakcji dla każdego. Zapraszamy.
