Page Three A Prayer for the Armed Forces Almighty God, stretch forth Your mighty arm to strengthen and protect the men and women of our Armed Forces. As they face the myriad of challenges and decisions that each day is destined to bring, may they be anchored by their faith, protected by Your presence and comforted by the knowledge that they are loved by You and by this community of faith. Grant that, meeting danger with courage, and all occasions with discipline and loyalty, they may truly serve the cause of justice and peace to the honor of your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We cannot always dress the way we want to. Our good sense tells us to keep some discipline. Of course we do not wear fur coats in the summer or sandals in the winter. We wear different outfits when we visit friends, than when we go to school or work, different dress for the beach than for skiing. We cannot jump into a pool wearing a suit and tie. We cannot wear shorts when we visit the Queen of England. How do we dress to go to Church? Can we enter our Sanctuary in a beach outfit? Do we remember that we are supposed to dress modestly, decent and appropriate for a holy place. When we are going to Church we are obviously going to see the King of Kings. We cannot distract others from the important and right focus by wearing clothes that call attention to ourselves. Low cut neck lines, exposed backs or stomachs or running shorts are these and some others really the proper dress for Church? There is only way simple answer to the question. No! Please show respect to this holy place and do not take the bad example from some others. There are some places and situations that we have to dress properly. In many countries of Europe and the rest of the world no one would think of wearing shorts or sleeveless shirts to holy places, churches or some other proper settings. Holy places demand proper outfits. Proper dress is not only the rule of the Christian religions. It is also the rule of other religions, sometimes ever more strict. During the summer in our Church we see a lot of people dressing inappropriately for the Church. Recently there was a book published “Savoir vivre in Church”. I am including here a few excerpts from it. “We can see Church from three different aspects. Sometimes we just enter the Church for quick prayer, secondly we go to Mass during the week and three we go to Church on Sunday and Holy days. In the first example we do not have to worry too much, casual is ok, as long as it is not distracting. We cannot visit in sport or beach wear that includes shorts or lingerie. Our outfit should not shock or disgust others. If we do so, we only show disrespect. Would you visit the President, Vice-President or even your “Boss” wearing shorts, sweats or other non-proper outfits? In going to Church we are visiting God.” Going to Church and attending Mass or attending Mass during the week is like visiting someone. In this case it is like visiting someone very special—God. “Savoir vivre” tells us not to wear our “raggedy” clothes when we visit someone. Dressing properly shows respect to the person who invited us. So please remember to be a little bit elegant and right for the occasion. Attending the Mass is even more important and demands even more elegance. In doing so we show respect to those who invited us (priests and God) and other guests (the parishioners). I wish you a happy Sunday and a blessed rest of the week. Fr. Jason Torba June 24, 2007 Nativity of John the Baptist Page Five Roses to those on the Way of the Cross It remains our sincere hope that through word and deed, education and example, we young and old one heritage or another, would all come to know that our care for Our Church — His really, is done through small and not so small gestures of help and support. As a source of hope and inspiration it is our intention to publish those names in print who have done outstanding work in the course of the week to “plant a rose” so to speak along the way as we carry the cross in the glory of the victory “He” won. Our part though small can and does grow. We might need to see the proof. The names are both a thank you and attempt to have lots of roses where ever “the cross” is.

The theme of this year’s Peter’s Pence Collection, Let us make sure that none of God’s children ever feels alone, is based on the Holy Father’s homily. In solidarity with the Pope, we, as baptized Catholics, are invited to participate in works of charity for our brothers and sisters in need throughout the world. By our sacrificial support of this collection, we join with more than one billion Catholics worldwide in providing the Holy Father the means necessary to provide for God’s children who suffer from acts of war, oppression, disease and natural disasters. During the past ten years as your Archbishop, I have witnessed the extraordinary generosity provided by the people of this Archdiocese. Today, I ask your prayerful consideration in contributing to the 2007 Peter’s Pence Collection. As always, I am grateful for your participation. Sincerely yours in Christ, Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I.

Umiłowani Bracia i Siostry w Chrystusie: We wrześniu 2006 roku Papież Benedykt XVI wygłosił homilię, w której przekonywał, że wszyscy ochrzczeni tworząc jedną rodzinę wiernych nigdy nie powinni pozostać samotni. Tegoroczna zbiórka na rzecz Świętopietrza (Peter’s Pence Collection) przebiegnie pod hasłem: Zróbmy wszystko by dzieci na całym świeci czuły się równe”. Solidaryzując się z Papieżem, my jako ochrzczeni katolicy, jesteśmy wezwani do uczestnictwa w pracy charytatywnej na rzecz naszych braci i sióstr będących w potrzebie na całym świecie. Poprzez ofiarne wsparcie Świętopietrza, dołączymy do ponad miliarda katolików na świecie, którzy dostarczają Ojcu Świętemu środki potrzebne do niesienia pomocy dzieciom Bożym, które cierpią z powodu wojen, wyzysku, chorób czy kataklizmów. Jako Wasz Arcybiskup, przez ostatnie dziesięć lat byłem świadkiem niezwykłej hojności członków naszej Archidiecezji. Dziś proszę Was o poparte modlitwą wsparcie Kolekty na Świętopietrze 2007. Jak zawsze jestem wdzięczny za Wasz udział w tym dziele. Wasz szczerze oddany w Chrystusie, „Więź z Ojczyzną jest tajemnicą, którą możemy określić jako prawo natury, najbardziej podstawowe i najświętsze ze wszystkich praw przyrodzonych.” Stefan Kardynał Wyszyński Francis Kardynał George, O.M.I. Arcybiskup Chicago June 24, 2007 Nativity of John the Baptist Page Eleven Sprawozdanie finansowe XI Niedziela Zwykła, 17 czerwiec 2007 W kopertach W gotówce: Suma: $ 7,114.00 $ 3,593.00 $ 10,707.00 Składka niedzielna z (5) angielskich Mszy: Składka niedzielna z (4) polskich Mszy: $ 5,467.00 $ 5,240.00 Słowo od Proboszcza W co się ubieramy – kiedy i gdzie? Nie zawsze można się ubrać w to, na co ma się ochotę. Rozsądek nakazuje pewną dyscyplinę - latem nie włożymy futra a zimą klapek. Inny ubiór obowiązuje, gdy idziemy z wizytą, do szkoły, do pracy, a inny na nartach czy plaży. Nie wskoczymy do jeziora w garniturze z krawatem, ale też nie założylibyśmy krótkich spodenek, gdyby nas zaprosiła królowa angielska. A jak ubieramy się do kościoła? Czy można wejść do świątyni w stroju plażowym? Czy pamiętamy, że tutaj szczególnie obowiązuje ubiór skromny, przyzwoity i godny tego miejsca? Idziemy przecież na spotkanie z Królem królów. Nie możemy też rozpraszać innych i przeszkadzać im w skupieniu swoim nieprzyzwoitym strojem. Czy duże dekolty, gołe plecy i brzuchy, spodenki sportowe, to odpowiedni strój na Mszy Świętej? Odpowiedź jest jedna i konkretna - nie. Uszanujmy miejsce święte i nie bierzmy przykładu ze złych wzorców. Są miejsca i sytuacje, w których należy zaprezentować się we właściwym stroju. W wielu krajach Europy i świata jest rzeczą nie do pomyślenia, żeby wchodzić do świątyni w krótkich spodenkach czy z odkrytymi ramionami. Miejsce święte domaga się odpowiedniego stroju. Stosowny ubiór obowiązuje nie tylko w świątyniach chrześcijańskich, ale również w świątyniach innych religii, gdzie przepisy dotyczące stroju bywają bardziej rygorystyczne niż w Kościele katolickim. Latem w naszej świątyni często widać osoby, które przychodzą w stroju nieodpowiednim do powagi tego miejsca. Niedawno ukazała się książka dotycząca właściwego ubrania i zachowania w kościele – „Savoir vivre w Kościele”. A oto fragmentyz tej książki. „Kościół możemy odwiedzić w sposób trojaki: niejako mimochodem wstępując do niego na krótką modlitwę; uczestnicząc we Mszy św. w dzień powszedni; uczestnicząc we Mszy św. w niedzielę lub w inne święto kościelne. W tym pierwszym przypadku nie jesteśmy oczywiście zobowiązani do jakichś specjalnych przygotowań. Jednak nasz strój musi być stosowny. Nie możemy odwiedzać kościoła w stroju kwalifikującym się tylko na plażę czy na boisko, np. w krótkich spodenkach czy negliżu. Nie może to być strój wywołujący zgorszenie czy znamionujący lekceważenie. Czy w krótkich spodenkach, w dresach czy innym niestosownym stroju odwiedzilibyśmy choćby na chwilę sejm, premiera, prezydenta, czy choćby naszego szefa w pracy? A w tym wypadku odwiedzamy przecież samego Boga? Uczestnicząc we Mszy św. w dniu powszednim postępujemy w taki sposób jakbyśmy odwiedzali kogoś z wizytą towarzyską, tylko, że tu mamy do czynienia z odwiedzinami osoby wyjątkowo ważnej – Boga. Savoir vivre w sposób jednoznaczny określa wymogi związane z taką wizytą. Nie odwiedzamy nikogo w stroju roboczym. Nasz strój określa nasz stosunek do gospodarza, ma wyrażać szacunek. Zakładamy więc na siebie ubranie bardziej eleganckie i odświętne. Udział w niedzielnej Mszy św. ma rangę wyższą niż uroczysta wizyta towarzyska. Powinniśmy zatem ubrać się w sposób szczególnie elegancki i uroczysty okazując tym szacunek i gospodarzom tego miejsca (Bogu i księżom) i pozostałym gościom (wiernym, wspólnocie parafialnej)”. Życzę Wam miłej niedzieli oraz błogosławionego tygodnia. Ks.

June 24, 2007 Nativity of John the Baptist Page Thirteen ON SPIRITUAL ASSEMBLY MASSES, AND ST. MARCELLINE Copyright 2007 by John B. Reynolds ([email protected]) “The land beyond O’Hare.” That’s how Bishop George Rassas described his vicariate as he introduced himself the other night at the Chicago Association of Holy Name Societies’ 27th annual Spiritual Assembly Mass, hosted this year by St. Marcelline Parish. St. Marcelline is in Schaumburg, IL, and since the only thing I know of Schaumburg is Woodfield Mall, I figured that the parish had to be right next door. It’s not. With our president Rich at the wheel and several members of my home parish’s Holy Name Society crammed into his minivan, we kept heading west and west and west until finally I called out from the back seat, “So where is this place…Iowa?” holds in very high esteem as well: John, the Baptizer. Living in the desert, eating wild honey and locusts and preaching repentance, he was a crazy man to some, but he was simply following his prophetic call. As the angel told Zechariah, “Do not be afraid, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall name him John…He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb, and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.” John plays a critical role in the history of Christianity, and he does so by heralding the blessed name of Jesus. An old saying holds that the journey to a friend’s house is never long. Nor--despite my out-of-state reference--is the journey to a Spiritual Assembly Mass. I’ve been to several of them now and have found each event to be worth the trip. The weather for the St. Marcelline gig was perfect, adding blue and golden atmosphere to the impressive parade of banners before Mass even began. Next came the presentation of symbolic gifts, including the Holy Name Society Pledge, “written on paper and inscribed in our hearts, in our minds, and on our tongues.” The pledge itself, which stresses the Society’s belief in and reverence for the name of Jesus, is powerful; Bishop Rassas focused his homily on the importance of names in general, and of Jesus’s name in particular. Which brings me back to the Spiritual Assembly Mass. I embrace this event for a lot of reasons. Like I said, I enjoy the hoopla of the banner parade and the solemnity of the gifts presentation. I especially enjoy raising my voice in song along with hundreds of other Holy Name Society men. And certainly, there’s the Pledge: “Blessed be God. Blessed be his holy name. Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true man…” Like the Baptizer, the Holy Name Society heralds the blessed name of Jesus. True, all of the HNS men I know would prefer the Italian beef which St. Marcelline’s served up after Mass over John’s wild honey and locusts--or now, cicadas--but we’re John-like just the same. In our own back yards and in the land (way, way, way) beyond O’Hare, “we believe, O Jesus, that thou art the Christ, the son of the living God...” But we celebrate another name today that the church THE END St. Ferdinand Parish Grand Knight Ladies of St. Anne - President: Mrs. Violet DelVecchio Laudamus - Mr. Jarosław Buranicz Mrs. Dorota Gołda, Parish Secretary/Bulletin Editor Legion of Mary - Presidents: Mr. Justo Evangelista & Mrs. Fely Sr. Bernadetta Gościniak, Administrative Assistant Mesina Legion of Mary, Juniors - President: Emma Camara Liturgical Irving Park Catholic Woman’s Club - Mrs. Dolores Schoewe Market Day - Coordinator: Mrs. Kelly Trujillo Mr. Andrew Warzocha, Director Polish & English Altar Servers - Fr.
