A NEW YEAR’S PRAYER
May God make your year a happy one! Not by shielding you
from all sorrows and pain, but by strengthening you to bear it,
as it comes; not by making your path easy, but by making you
sturdy to travel any path; not by taking hardships from you, but
by taking fear from your heart; not by granting you unbroken
sunshine, but by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;
not by making your life always pleasant, but by showing you
when people and their causes need you most, and by making
you anxious to be there to help. God’s love, peace, hope and
joy to you for the year ahead.

Schools Week on a faith-filled path! Please join us
at our Family Mass where we will celebrate our
Year of the Strong Catholic Family. Then, tour
through the school at your own pace to see all the

Calling all Children! Pizza Party Today!
Polish/American Pizza Party & Dance on January 11
from 3:00—6:00pm in Liebrich Hall. There will be
clowns and games. Tickets: $10 per child.
Dear Friends who enjoy the casino trips,
The Casino & bus company have decided that
an email address will be required by everyone who
wants to ride the free bus. The good part of this is
you will receive coupons for free things. We have
argued with them but they will not change their
minds. obody can ride the free bus without an
email address. Husband & Wife need separate
email addresses.
We would like to plan a trip to Horseshoe Casino on
Thursday, February 12. This will give everyone
enough time to set up email addresses (which are
free with Yahoo). Ask grandchildren, children or go
to the local library for help to set up an account.
The sign up form will be in a future bulletin. Even
though it is annoying to do this each time, the registration form must be filled out entirely every
time, before you turn it in. We do not take late registrations or registrations by phone.

HOT TOPICS
Please mark your calendars for the fourth in a series
of six Hot Topics discussions. We hope you can join!
Tuesday, January 13, 2015 @ 7:00 PM
Topic: What’s So Important about Islam? Why
Do We Care?
Presented by: Esther Hicks
Hosting Parish: St. William Church
About the Topic: We live in a pluralistic society that
is evident in every neighborhood in the Chicagoland
area. Go to a grocery store or a theater and you can
see people wearing different religious symbols from
tattoos of Guadalupe to Hijabs to Kippahs to whatever! These signs highlight cultural and religious distinctions and they sometimes hide what binds us together as a single human community. This presentation has us look at Islam, one of the great Abrahamic
religions of the biblical belief in the One God. We’ll
look at some of the beliefs, customs and cultures that
are all subsumed under the title of the Islamic Faith.
And we’ll discuss your questions about why we
should care about anyone else’s faith – particularly
the faith to which nearly a billion people adhere.
About the Speaker: Esther Hicks is the Director of
Catholic Identity and Mission for the Office of Catholic Schools. Esther currently works in the Archdiocese of Chicago as a member of the Catholic School
Identity and Mission Team. She assists principals and
teachers in the catechetical certification process in the
Archdiocese. Esther is the chief writer of the Archdiocese of Chicago Religious Curriculum currently
being implemented in schools and parishes of the
archdiocese.
As part of the mission aspect of her work, Esther
works with the Catholic Diocese of Nsukka, Nigeria
as a technical assistant to Bishop Godfrey Onah. She
is a founding member and current president of the
Chicago Coalition for InterReligious Learning an organization of Jewish, Catholic and Muslim educators
whose purpose is the promotion of knowledge and
respect for the Abrahamic faiths.
A small reception will follow discussion!

Dear Parishioners,
Drodzy Parafianie,
It feels strange to be writing this after only six
months being here with you at Saint William Parish, but
the time to say Goodbye has come.
I am very grateful for all that I have experienced
and learned here among you. I have felt immense support
and love from you. I hope I have been able to return that
love somehow. I want you to know that I will be holding
each of you in my heart, and you can be assured of my
prayers. This is a wonderful Parish with such goodness
and generosity and I will miss you all.
Today I have to say Goodbye to you. It is not easy
for me at all, but I believe that God has plans for all of us.
I enjoyed so much being your associate pastor. All of you,
parishioners and children in School and Religious Education have given me a great opportunity to serve God and
you joyfully, and I ask God’s and your forgiveness if I
have hurt you or caused pain or sorrow in any way. I can
honestly say it was never done intentionally.
So, where am I going? Our Archbishop Blase J.
Cupich has appointed me to be administrator of Saint John
the Evangelist Parish in Streamwood. I will begin this new
assignment on Monday, Jan. 12. You're always welcome
to stop by and say hello to me if you happen to be in
Streamwood.
I ask your prayers and I promise to remember all
of you in my prayers and at the altar during Mass. I will
keep you in my heart and I wish you and my good friend
Fr. Robert, with the entire staff every blessing in the future.
In Jesus and His Mother Mary,
Fr. Gregg
Czuję się dziwnie pisząc te słowa w zaledwie
sześć miesięcy odkąd tutaj z wami jestem w parafii św.
Williama, ale już przyszedł czas aby się pożegnać. Jestem
Bogu i wam bardzo wdzięczny za wszystko czego tutaj z
wami doświadczyłem i czego pomiędzy wami się
nauczyłem. Każdego dnia odczuwałem wielkie wsparcie i
miłość z waszej strony. Chcę abyście wiedzieli, że
każdego dnia będę o was pamiętał w modlitwie i zawsze
będziecie w moim sercu.
Dzisiaj muszę się z wami pożegnać. Nie jest to
łatwe, ale wierzę, że Bóg ma plan dla każdego z nas. Wy
wszyscy, dzieci ze szkoły, szczególnie ósma klasa z
Polskiej Szkoły Brata Alberta, daliście mi okazję aby
służyć Bogu i wam z radością. Jeżeli komukolowiek
sprawiłem przykrość w jakikolwiek sposób to bardzo
przepraszam.
Więc jaka jest moja przyszłość? Nasz Arcybiskup
Błażej J. Cupich mianował mnie administratorem w parafii
pw. św. Jana Ewangelisty w Streamwood. Moją posługę w
Streamwood rozpocznę 12 stycznia. Jeżeli kiedykolwiek
będziecie tamtędy przejeżdżać to serdecznie zapraszam
abyście mnie tam odwiedzili.
Proszę o waszą modlitwę i obiecuję, że będę o was
pamiętał w mojej modlitwie i podczas każdej Mszy
świętej. Życzę wam i mojemu drogiemu przyjacielowi Ks.
Dziekanowi Robertowi z wszystkimi pracownikami parafii
Bożego błogosławieństwa na każdy dzień.
Szczęść Boże
Ks. Grzegorz
