TWENTY FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
September 16, 2012
The Lord God is my help, therefore I am not disgraced.
—Isaiah 50:7
IT’S ALL ABOUT CONTROL
From toddlerhood to old age, we grow in
mastery of our own lives, our bodies, and our
destiny. This mastery is hard won, and we
don’t let go of autonomy easily. Much of this
self-mastery involves the avoidance of pain or
discomfort, so when we hear things like “take
up your cross” and “lose your life,” we tend to resist the message.
James says that faith without works is dead. Ouch! That is
really a direct message! One way to look at this, as well as the
part about losing our life to find it, is that faith is a process of
more and more openness to God’s direction of our lives. It is
very hard for us to give up control, but perhaps what we are
being asked to do is not to become passive and babyish, but to
allow God to direct where our self-mastery will lead and what
it will accomplish. We are asked to relinquish the need to control the results of our efforts; to risk, as Jesus did, the loss of
everything we are working to achieve. We are asked to let God
take the lead and to control the results, even though we may
never see those results.
The second collection this week is
for the Religious Education Program.
The September 23 & 30 second collections are designated f
or the Fall Appeal for Catholic Schools
FAMILY MASS AND PICNIC
Please join us for our Family Mass on Sun., Sept. 16 at
9:30am at our Basilica. We will introduce our faculty and
they will take the oath of fidelity to catholic teaching. According to our tradition we will also introduce the Advisory School
Board and The Home School Assoc.
Our annual gathering of students, faculty, parents, grandparents and parishioners will be held from 12noon until
3:00pm at Webster Fish & Game, Route 16, Webster. This
event is sponsored by the HSA and Parish Council.
On behalf of our parishioner and school administration, I wish
the faculty, staff and students a blessed and successful new academic year.
SEPTEMBER FALL APPEAL FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
The Annual Catholic Schools Appeal is scheduled for the
weekends of Sept. 22/23 and 29/30. The collection this year
will be designated for new computers for teachers. They require the most efficient computers to drive the Promethean
Boards. Unfortunately, the life span of computers is short and
they tend to fail and to repair them is costly and frustrating.
Parishes that operate schools retain the collection for their
own use. Your September budget packet includes a special
envelope for this collection. I deeply appreciate your support,
your prayers and your good word for Catholic Education.

JUBILEE REMINDERS
If you have not as yet returned your parish census form,
please do so as soon as possible. If your family’s status has not
changed, please note on form and return to the rectory.
If you are planning on purchasing the Lottery Raffle Ticket
($10 each) sent to you with the census form, we would appreciate your completed ticket stub or if you do not want to support
this effort, please return your blank ticket to the rectory so someone who is interested could make use of it. The drawing will be
held on Sunday, Sept. 23 after the Memorial Organ Concert
in the school cafeteria.
125th Jubilee Mass and Banquet Invitations have been
mailed. If you are planning to attend the banquet on Saturday,
October 6th at the Elks Club, Auburn, MA following the 3:45
Mass at our Basilica, please return your response card as soon as
possible so that we may plan our seating arrangements.
Jubilee Celebration Collection-I would like to thank several
individuals who this week fulfilled their $1000 pledge. My
gratitude goes those who have already completed their goal some
time ago, but in the spirit of supporting this celebration still continue to contribute. This collection was established a year ago
and the September packet contains the last envelope for this
fund.
At this time we want to determine if we can afford a new
sound system and replace one section of the failing heating system. If you would like to support this project, please make a
pledge so that we can plan accordingly. The heating system is
extremely important for the upcoming cold weather of New England and a new unit would be a necessary and useful component
for our Jubilee Year.
JUBILEE BLESSING
Reflecting on the history of St. Joseph Basilica, we must acknowledge and gratefully recognize the contributions of various
parish organizations in the life of our community. The majority
of our organizations have been in existence for more than 100
years. The oldest is the Holy Rosary Sodality which will celebrate their 125th Anniversary next year— Sacred Heart Society
was established in 1895—St. Anne Sodality began in 1926—St.
Joseph Polish Women’s Club will celebrate their 60th anniversary in 2013. There are several organizations who played an
important role in the life of the parish who made significant contributions who no longer exist such as, Society of St. Joseph,
Society of King Jan Sobieski and Towarzystwo Kanonierow.
Their names are permanently etched on the stained glass windows of our Basilica. Each of these organizations through its
charismatic leaders motivated many individuals to sacrifice time,
talent and treasure for the good of the Church. Many people
deepened their spiritual and cultural life through a variety of
catholic services and programs they sponsored. It appears that
Polish-Americans have a tendency to congregate for a common
purpose. In fact, in Chicago in the 1930’s, the Polish people
helped to organize a union of workers and for the first time established a Ladies Auxiliary. Obviously they voted to make
donations to the Felician Sisters and helped build a church or
school in a particular area. That spirit of solidarity in a common
goal attributed to the great success of Polish-Americans despite
their financial shortcomings. They were able to build the most
beautiful churches throughout our land. I want to thank all our
parish organizations for playing an important role in the spiritual, social and cultural landscape of our parish.
OUR LADY OF CZESTOCHOWA CHAPEL
The expenses for the renovation of Our Lady of Czestochowa
Chapel are not funded by the 125 Jubilee Collection. It appears
that our parishioners have a great sensitivity and devotion to
our Blessed Mother and support this special Chapel. We are
grateful for a $500 anonymous donation from a parishioner.
This renovation will enhance the Icon of Our Lady of
Czestochowa. Frames, new lighting and a chandelier have been
ordered and will arrive within a couple of weeks. I appreciate
your patience and concern.
PATRON SAINT OF SEPTEMBER
St. Stanislaw Kostka was born in 1550. As a young man he was
known for his amiability and cheerfulness of expression, but also for
his growing religious fervour and piety and devotion to the Jesuit Fathers at Vienna. Stanislaw ‘s piety infuriated his brother Paul and he
suffered Paul’s unjust treatment with remarkable stoicism and patience. He threatened to go away and to never return. Stanislaw
joined the Society of Jesus. During his short stay with the Society, he
fell ill with a burning fever. It is said that he foretold his death a few
days before it occurred in 1568.
He is a popular saint of Poland and many religious institutions have
chosen him as the protector of their novitiates. St. Stanislaw Kostka
was beatified in 1605 and canonized in 1726.

KRONIKA PARAFIALNA
DWUDZIESTA CZWARTA NIEDZIELA ZWYKŁA
16 sierpnia 2012
"Pan Bóg Mnie wspomaga, i wiem, że wstydu nie doznam." (Iz 50, 7)
Druga kolekta dzisiejszej niedzieli jest przeznaczona na
Program Katechetyczny w naszej parafii.
Druga kolekta 23 i 30 września będzie przeznaczona na
Fall Appeal for Catholic School.
Jakże trudno jest przyjąć Chrystusowe
wezwanie do codziennego niesienia krzyża.
Boimy się, że to ponad nasze siły, nie
potrafimy zaufać i uwierzyć, że Pan nie
pozostawia nas samym sobie. A przecież On
nigdy nie prosi nas o coś, czego nie jesteśmy w
stanie zrobić. Zaufajmy Bogu, naszemu Stwórcy, który
naprawdę pragnie naszego dobra i szczęścia. On zna nas
najlepiej i wie, do czego jesteśmy zdolni. Nigdy nie zostawia
nas samych, lecz przez krzyż prowadzi nas do pełni życia.
Page 5

FALL APPEAL FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
The Annual Catholic Schools Appeal jest zaplanowany na dwa
ostatnie weekendy września. Zabrane środki będą przeznaczone na
nowe komputery dla nauczycieli naszej szkoły, co pozwoli ułatwić i
usprawnić ich pracę a także lepiej wykorzystać tablice interaktywne.
Obecne komputery są już stare i coraz częściej się psują, a ich
utrzymanie w sprawności staje się coraz bardziej kosztowne.
Parafie, w których funkcjonują szkoły katolickie, środki zebrane w
czasie wrześniowej zbiórki mogą wykorzystać dla swoich szkół.
Pośród kopert na miesiąc wrzesień znajduje się specjalna koperta
przeznaczona na te zbiórkę. Dziękujemy za Wasze wparcie,
modlitwę w intencji Edukacji Katolickiej.

REFLEKSJA JUBILEUSZOWA
Spoglądając na historię naszej parafii nie sposób nie zauważyć wkładu różnorodnych organizacji parafialnych w życie całej wspólnoty.
Większość organizacji i grup parafialnych istnie od ponad stu lat. Najstarszą pośród nich jest Holy Rosary Sodality - 124 lat isnienia. Kilka
organizacji już niestety nie istnie m. in.: Society of St. Joseph, Society of King Jan Sobieski czy Towarzystwo Kanonierów. Członkowie
wszystkich tych organizacji poswięcali czas, talenty i srodki dla dobra Kościoła. Wielu ludzi zawdzięcza pogłebienie swojej duchowosci
własnie zaangażowaniu tych organizacji. Wyninika z tego, że Amerykanie polskiego pochodzenia potrafia zrzeszć się dla osiagnięcia dobrego
celu. Ten duch solidarności w dążeniu do upatrzonego celu w dużej mierze przyczynił się do odoszonych przez naszych rodaków sukcesów,
pomimo skromnych srodków finansowych. Dzięki wytrwałosci byli w stanie forsować różnorodne projekty np.: budowę wspaniałych swiatyń.
Pragniemy serdecznie podziękować wszystkim organizacjom w naszej parafii za ich bezcenny wkład w kształtowanie duchowosci, kultury i
swiadomych postaw społecznych w naszej parafii.
