Obligations $35; Fuel $20
1 luteg 2015r.
Stewardship Note: “Brothers and sisters: I should like you
to be free of anxieties”. How much anxiety do we bring upon
ourselves by constantly worrying about not having enough or
attaining more things? God won’ t necessarily give you everything you want, but He will provide everything you need.
Try this — use the word “pray” instead of the word “worry” in
the future..

AUTHORITY FROM GOD
According to Moses, the people decided they
didn’t want to hear God’s voice directly any more.
It was much too frightening. Why couldn’t God
send human teachers, prophets, instead? God
agreed, but with a warning. The people had better
listen to those teachers, because they spoke in God’s name.
That arrangement, though, had its own problems, for them
and for us. How do I know this teacher is truly from God?
And if the teacher is from God, are all parts of the teaching
meant for me? We have the Church and scripture to help us
with those questions, but still there are always a few loose
ends.
That is the powerful significance of the sentence in today’s
Gospel : “The people were astonished at his teaching, for he
taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes”.
The people knew that this Jesus was authentic—truly a teacher
sent by God. They knew it by hearing him.
The second collection this week
is for Parish Obligations to the Diocese.
Next weekend’s second collection
is designated for Higher Energy and Fuel Costs.
Weekly Budget $7000
CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS APPEAL
The annual collection for the Catholic Home Missions will be
held at our Basilica on the weekend of Feb., 14--15. This appeal supports dioceses in the US and its territories that lack the
resources to provide basic pastoral ministry to their populations.
NOVENA TO THE DIVINE MERCY
On Sunday, February 1 at 3:00pm we set aside an hour for
special devotions to the Divine Mercy. We ask parishioners
and friends to please make every effort to join us in the singing
of the Chaplet followed by Benediction.
Page 3
FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD
On Monday, February 2nd we will observe the Feast of the
Presentation of the Lord referred to as Candlemass Day. According to the prescription of the law on the 40th day the child
was presented to the Lord in the Temple. This very solemn day
dates back to the 4th century. From Jerusalem this festivity
spread around the Universal Church east and west. In the eastern tradition it was called the Feast of Visitation. When Jesus
was presented to God and Blessed Mother gave Baby Jesus to
Simeon he was presented to all humankind Reflecting on this
mystery the Church once again welcomes Christ as Lord and
Savior. This solemnity is accompanied by a procession and
candles so we can publicly proclaim our faith in Jesus as the
“Light of the World”.
The candle that we hold is a reminder of our own Baptism.
This Feast is surrounded by various devotional traditions in
many countries.
The blessing of candles, gromnice (available near the sanctuary stairs) will take place after the 6:30am Liturgy. You may
also bring your own candles to be blessed and then lit in your
homes as protection from harm.
FEAST OF ST. BLAISE -On Tuesday, February 3rd we will
celebrate the Feast of St. Blaise, bishop and martyr who is associated with the healing of throats. In honor of St. Blaise we at
our Basilica will hold the annual blessing at this weekend
Masses and on Tuesday after Masses to protect people against
adversity and heal individuals from throat ailments
NOVENA AND DEVOTIONS TO ST. JOSEPH
Please join us on Wednesday evening, February 4th at
7:00pm for our continuing Novena and Devotions to our Patron. St. Joseph understood the worries and concerns that come
from parenting children. We may ask him for the gifts of wisdom and good counsel to assist us in our vocation as parents
and to protect our families.
This week members of the Holy Rosary Sodality will carry
the statue of St. Joseph into the sanctuary.
We ask that you
print your petitions legibly on the forms available in the Chapel
of Our Lady of Czestochowa to be read during devotions.

news and gives an analysis of events that you cannot find in the
secular press.
In addition, The Catholic Free Press offers local coverage of
news and events throughout the Diocese, national and international issues, teachings of the Church on various topics, words
of wisdom of Pope Francis and faith related articles by local
and nationally acclaimed authors.

month on February 6th. Mass at 7:00am will be offered for the

the Chaplet to the Divine Mercy and Benediction. Mass at
7:00pm will be celebrated in the Polish language.

EVANGELIZATION
When you look around the world, and above all in our parish
family, you clearly recognize the need for evangelization. That
was the theme of the late John Paul II’s Pontificate. The
question is—who should be the evangelizer? Every person who
believes in God and Jesus Christ is charged through the virtue
of his own baptism to bring the Good News to others.
To bring a person to Christ is indeed missionary work. But
before you can do that, we have to evangelize ourselves.
Therefore, readings and self-study, reflections on the Holy
Scripture are beautiful ways to prepare for our mission in the
parish. Faith is a personal matter, but not private. The Good
News has to be shared with those who need it the most.
The Church gives our contemporary world, said John Paul II,
the most precious good which no one else can give which is
faith in Jesus Christ who is the only source of hope and will
never disappoint us. Our priests will be available to bless your
homes and families. Please call the rectory to set a time.
Festival Appreciation Evening-on Mon. Feb. 2nd for all
those who worked at the festival last year in the school
cafeteria at 6:30pm. Also we are now planning festival 2015 &
invite all former chairpersons and workers and all interested
parishioners to attend and share their ideas and suggestions for
the June 19-21, 2015 festival.

KRONIKA PARAFIALNA
CZWARTA NIEDZIELA ZWYKŁA
1 lutego 2015
Wejdźcie, uwielbiajmy, padnijmy na twarze
i zegnijmy kolana przed Panem, który nas stworzył. (Ps 95, 6)
W Starym Testamencie lud Izraela lękał się
słuchać Boga na Horebie, dlatego Bóg powołał
proroków, aby głosili Jego słowo. W Nowym zaś
On sam przemawia do ludzkich serc przez swego
Syna – wcielone Słowo. Jest to „nowa nauka
z mocą”, głoszona przez Tego, „który ma władzę”, niosąca
światło i wolność uwięzionym w niewoli grzechu. Otwórzmy
dziś na nią nasze serca, abyśmy mogli doświadczyć zbawienia
od zła oraz nowego życia w wolności dzieci Bożych.
KORONKA DO MIŁOSIERDZIA BOŻEGO
Dzisiejsza niedziela, jest pierwszą niedzielą miesiąca, a zatem jest
poświęcona w sposób szczególny Tajemnicy Bożego Miłosierdzia.
Zapraszamy wszystkich parafian na godz. 15:00 na Adorację
Najświętszego Sakramentu połączoną z Koronką do miłosierdzia Bożego.
Dołóżmy starań, aby spędzić ten czas w szczególnej obecności Boga
i otworzyć się na Jego Błogosławieństwo.
OFIAROWANIE PAŃSKIE
W poniedziałek, 2 lutego będziemy obchodzić Święto Ofiarowania
Pańskiego. Jest to święto chrześcijańskie, które skupia w sobie trzy
wydarzenia: ofiarowanie Dzieciątka Jezus w świątyni, pierwsze
nawiedziny świątyni przez Jezusa oraz oczyszczenie Najświętszej
Dziewicy Maryi. Poświęcenie świec odbędzie się po wszystkich Mszach
św. Świece będą znajdowały się przy prezbiterium. Można również
przynieść własną świecę gromniczną.
Gromnice zapalamy w czasie niebezpieczeństwa i zagrożenia, prosząc
Boga za przyczyna Maryi o opiekę i ratunek z opresji.
ŚWIĘTO ŚW. BŁAŻEJA
We wtorek, 3 lutego będziemy obchodzić Święto św. Błażeja, biskupa
i męczennika, który jest patronem w chorobach gardła. To coroczne
błogosławieństwo przypada w zimowe miesiące, kiedy często dokucza
nam kaszel i przeziębienie. Specjalne błogosławieństwo gardeł odbędzie
się po Mszach św. porannych.
NOWENNA DO ŚW. JÓZEFA
Dołącz do nas w środę wieczorem, 4 lutego o 19:00 na Nowennie do
naszego Patrona. Józef rozumie obawy i wątpliwości, które towarzyszą
wysiłkowi wychowania dzieci i tworzenia dobrej rodziny. Możemy
poprosić go o dary mądrości i dobrej rady, aby wspomagał nas
w powołaniu rodzicielskim i małżeńskim oraz chronił nasze rodziny.
W tym tygodniu członkowie Holi Rosary Sodality są proszeni o udział
w procesji z figurą św. Józefa.

Dochód przeznaczony na Polską Szkołę. Przy okazji dziękujemy za ofiary
złożone po Jasełkach i wspieranie naszej działalności krzewienia języka
i kultury polskiej na obczyźnie. Bez Was, nasza działalność nie byłaby
możliwa! Ten weekend to ostatnia szansa zakupu biletów. Do zobaczenia
na zabawie!
PIERWSZY PIĄTEK
W tym tygodniu przypada pierwszy piątek miesiąca. Msza o godz. 7:00
będzie ofiarowana za żyjących członków Towarzystwa Najświętszego
Serca Pana Jezusa. Do udziału w Mszach świętych i adoracji
Najświętszego Sakramenty zapraszamy również wszystkich parafian.
Adoracja zakończy się o godz. 15:00 Koronką do Miłosierdzia Bożego
i błogosławieństwem Najświętszym Sakramentem.
CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS APPEAL
Ta coroczna zbiórka odbędzie się w naszej parafii w weekend 14 – 15
lutego. Fundusz ten wspiera diecezje w USA, które nie mają środków, aby
zapewnić podstawową posługę duszpasterską dla swoich wiernych.
BINGO
Dołącz do nas na BINGO w każdy piątek w kafeteria szkoły św. Józefa.
Drzwi otwarte już o 17:00, gra rozpoczyna się o 18:45. Możliwość
wygrania Door Prize oraz darmowa kawa dla wszystkich. W piątek, 30
stycznia prosimy członkinie St. Ann Society o pomoc w przygotowaniach
do gry. Jest to okazja, aby poznać nowych ludzi, zrelaksować się a także
przy odrobinie szczęścia zostać szczęśliwym zwycięzcą. Dochód jest
przeznaczony na potrzeby szkoły i parafii.
CATHOLIC FREE PRESS
Początek roku to czas, na odnowę prenumeraty naszego czasopisma
katolickiego „Catholic Free Press” lub rozpoczęcie nowej. Roczna
prenumerata to tylko $30. Prenumerując katolicka prasę pomagamy
katolickim mediom rosnąć w siłę i przez to przyczyniamy się również do
dzieła ewangelizacji, które w we współczesnym świecie nie może obejść
się bez środków masowego przekazu. Nie do przecenienia jest również
fakt, że treści jakie znajdziemy w prasie katolickiej pogłębiają naszą
osobistą duchowość, pozwalają nam bardziej zbliżyć się do Boga i dają
nam możliwość spoglądania na świat nie tylko poprzez pryzmat mediów
„głównego nurtu” ale również pod kontem wiary katolickiej.
W zestawach kopert na styczeń znajdują się specjalne koperty służące
odnowieniu lub założeniu prenumeraty.
WYPRZEDAŻ PIEROGÓW
Holy Rosary Sodality organizuje wyprzedaż gołąbków i pierogów z
serem, kapustą, jagodami, śliwkami oraz kapustą z grzybami. Zamówienia
można składać do 2 lutego. Cena jednego tuzina pierogów: $9, paczka
4 gołąbków: $7. Zamówienia można dokonać na specjalnych formularzach
znajdujących się przy wejściach do bazyliki lub dzwoniąc do Pat Mangen:
508 461 6236 lub Betty Sabaj: 508 943 8570.
EWANGELIZACJA
Zarówno w wymierzę ogólnoświatowym jak i naszym lokalnym
odczuwalna jest ogromna potrzeba ewangelizacji. Nowa Ewangelizacja
była jednym z zadań, którymi szczególnie zajmował się św. Jan Paweł II
w czasie swojego pontyfikatu. Jednym z głównych problemów tego
zagadnienia jest to, kto powinien być Ewangelizatorem? Najprostsza
odpowiedz na to pytanie to: każdy, kto wierzy w Boga i Jezusa Chrystusa,
na mocy przyjętego Sakramentu Chrztu, aby nieść Dobrą Nowinę innym,
którzy jej nie znają.
Doprowadzenie człowieka do Chrystusa to rzeczywista praca misyjna.
Ewangelizowanie innych zawsze jednak musi rozpoczynać się od
ewangelizowania samego siebie. Jednym z najlepszych sposobów
ewangelizacji jest dawane świadectwo własnej wiary.
