FIFTH GRADE NEWS
In fifth grade we are celebrating spring! In
science we have been studying the movements of the
earth and the pattern of the seasons. In math our data
project has been in using the internet to track the
daily sunrise and sunset times. When we analyzed the
data to find the mean, median, and mode, we discovered that on the average we gain 3 minutes of
sunlight every day. In English we wrote about the
signs of spring and from this created a class list of our
favorite “Top Ten” things about spring. We were so
happy with this project that we spontaneously created
words to the song “Celebrate Springtime, Come on”.
We paraded through the school sharing our excitement with everyone!
In math we acknowledged National π Day by
exploring the formula to find circumference of a circle. First we viewed internet videos about this national celebration and then investigated how the ancient Greeks arrived at the formula π=3.14… by
wrapping a string around a circular object and then
measuring the string. In religion we created beautiful
Easter and new life mandalas which are on display
for you to see the next time you come into school.
We also filled our prayer corner with Easter lily
crosses of joy and peace for the seven Sundays of
Easter.
We continue to use technology in all that we
do. We set up a blog to discuss books we are reading,
created a Voki as part of our presidential research
project, and used popplets or mind maps to finalize
our work in science. Our teacher is learning how to
create digital lessons for us and we enjoyed doing one
of these which included a Youtube video on the vernal equinox.
As you can see we are learning many new
things every day and enjoying our last trimester together as fifth graders! Thank you for your support of
St. William School so that we can become educated
and prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
Come to the Talent Show on April 15 at
7:00pm in Liebrich Hall!

Easter 2015
Dear brothers and sisters in the Risen Lord,
With our celebration of Easter, we proclaim “Christ is
risen,” and call each other and the world to renew our
hope. That call to hope is actually a very daring invitation. So much of what we experience in the world
points us in another direction—most often, to sad resignation.
Worldwide armed conflict, lethal gang violence in
our neighborhoods, families trapped in poverty, immigrants uncertain about their future, young people
robbed of a future because of drugs and poor education, and the most vulnerable among us—the unborn,
the chronically ill, the secretly abused, the elderly, the
dying—who have become in the words of Pope Francis “disposable”—all this suggests a dim future.
Who are we, then, to proclaim hope? How do we
dare to say that there is a reason for hope? Our response is simple, and our conviction is firm. We
have come to know Jesus, the Risen One.
We have come to know Jesus in his word and in his
sacraments. We have known him in each other, in
the faces of those whom we love and in the faces of
the poor and marginalized. Our knowledge of him
has brought us before his cross on which he destroyed
sin and death. Our knowledge of him has brought us
to stand before him as the Risen One who breathes
the new life of the Spirit into those who believe in
him.
We dare to hope, because the eternal Word of God
dared to take our flesh and passed through death to
new and glorious life. He opened the way for us to
embrace eternal life. And so we dare to hope and,
even more, dare to share that hope with a wounded
struggling world.
Pray for me as I pray for you that our faith and confidence in the Risen Christ will bless this world with
the renewed hope that it desperately needs.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Blase J. Cupich
Archbishop of Chicago

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY—TODAY!
We’ll pray a Bilingual Devotion (English/
Polish) of The Divine Mercy on Sunday
April 12 at 2:50 P.M.
**Confession available at 3:00pm.
Please mark your calendars for the SIXTH in a series
of six Hot Topics discussions. We hope you can join
us for what we feel will be very attention grabbing
discussion!
When: Tuesday, April 14, 2015 @ 7:00 PM
Topic: (Catholic) Guilt, Compassion, and ToughLove (Walked Past a Homeless Person One Day and
Said....)
Presented by: Diane Faust
Hosting Parish: St. Celestine Parish – 3020 N. 76th
Court, Elmwood Park, IL – Ph.: 708-453-2555
About the Topic: Do we feel an excess guilt if we
don’t share; if we don’t donate; if we don’t give to
the Many…..who have lost part or all of their faith.
What do you do when you encounter a homeless man
or woman who is asking for your spare change? Does
your handout help them or hurt them? What motivates you to give – compassion, guilt, or a need to
make a difference? What’s the best way to let them
know you care? How do you decide whether to give
them a handout? Is it possible to give them a
handup?
Diana Faust, a Secular Franciscan who encountered
homeless individuals on the streets of downtown Chicago for many years before switching to a career in
homeless services, will pose these questions and
more to help you think about the answers that are
right for you. A small reception will follow the
discussion!

REFLEKSJA DO CZYTAŃ IEDZIEL YCH
2 iedziela Wielkanocna czyli Miłosierdzia Bożego
Dzisiejsza Druga Niedziela Wielkanocna jest obchodzona w
całym Kościele jako Niedziela Miłosierdzia. Święto to zostało
ustanowione w 2000 roku podczas kanonizacji św. Faustyny
przez św. Jana Pawła II, który był wielkim czcicielem Bożego
Miłosierdzia. Pan Jezus w objawieniach mistycznych św.
Faustynie powiedział: „Pragnę, ażeby pierwsza niedziela po
Wielkanocy była świętem Miłosierdzia” (Dz. 299) oraz „w
dniu tym otwarte są wnętrzności miłosierdzia mego,
wylewam całe morze łask na dusze, które się zbliżą do źródła
miłosierdzia mojego: która dusza przystąpi do spowiedzi i
Komunii św. dostąpi zupełnego odpuszczenia win i kar (Dz.
699). Skorzystajmy z tej łaski!
1.
W pierwszy czytaniu (Dz 4,32-35) z Dziejów
Apostolskich słyszymy dzisiaj o jedności i pokoju, jakie
cechowały pierwotną, „idealną” wspólnotę Kościoła po
Zmartwychwstaniu Pana Jezusa. „Żaden nie nazywał swoim
tego, co posiadał”. Owa wspólnota posiadania w pierwotnym
Kościele jest znakiem, że Kościół ten żyje naprawdę pokojem
Jezusa. Czy ja jestem otwarty na otrzymanie takiego daru
pokoju od Pana?
2. Drugie czytanie (J 5, 1-6) idzie jeszcze dalej. Ustanowiony
przez Jezusa Zmartwychwstałego pokój zostaje tutaj w
określony sposób skonkretyzowany, co jest też równoznaczne
z warunkami jego otrzymania. W Kościele dar ten
konkretyzuje się poprzez sakramenty święte: chrztu (woda),
Eucharystii (krew) i bierzmowania (Duch). Wierzący, który
przyjmuje te sakramenty zgodnie z ich najgłębszym sensem,
otrzymuje Chrystusowy pokój w darze i szerzy go w świecie.
A jak to wygląda w moim życiu?
3. W Ewangelii (J 20, 19-31) Pan Jezus Zmartwychwstały
ukazuje się wieczorem pierwszego dnia Wielkanocy i w osiem
dni później. Chrystus przynosi apostołom i każdemu z nas
ostateczny, doskonały pokój. Jest to pokój nie taki „jak daje
świat”, lecz o wiele głębszy. Dokonuje się to w trzech
scenach: najpierw Jezus życzy uczniom tego pokoju, którym
On sam jest, następnie upoważnia On uczniów, by Jego mocą
przekazywali ludziom otrzymany od Niego pokój, zaś
wszystko to musi się dokonywać w wierze, stąd pojawia się
epizod o niewiernym Tomaszu. Dopóki człowiek wątpi i nie
chce się oddać w ręce Boże, dopóty nie otrzyma pokoju.
Trzeba nam upaść na kolana i za Tomaszem zawołać: „Pan
mój i Bóg mój!”
