Migrant & Refugee Crisis Emergency Appeal
Catholic Relief Services is working with
Church partners in Greece, Albania, Macedonia and
Serbia to provide immediate assistance, including
food, water, sanitation, medical care, legal services
and trauma counseling. CRS and partners will adapt
programming to meet the rapidly changing needs on
the ground, remaining faithful to our principles to
support those in greatest need, regardless of national,
religious
and
ideological
beliefs.
Conflicts, civil strife and economic conditions in the Middle East, Asia and Africa have dramatically increased the flow of refugees and economic migrants to Europe. As the Syrian conflict
enters its fifth year, a combination of desperation and
hope is leading growing numbers of Syrians to attempt an extremely perilous journey toward Europe.
Harrowing stories have emerged of death, starvation
and abuse at the hands of people smugglers. This
year 2,000 Syrians have drowned in the Mediterranean in their attempt to reach European shores. To
donate; either put a donation in an envelope marked
Catholic Relief Services/Syrians & drop in the brown
box in middle of church or mail it to: Migrant &
Refugee Crisis Emergency Appeal, CRS, 3525 S.
Lake Park Ave, Chicago IL 60653.

MASS FOR HOPE & HEALING
Saturday, October 17, at 9:30 a.m.
Holy Family Church, 1080 West Roosevelt Road,
Chicago, will have a Mass to promote healing for victims-survivors of child and youth sexual abuse, and
for their families; and for calling the Catholic Community and society to continued vigilance, honoring
Christ's mandate to protect the dignity and sanctity of
all of God's children.
Why is our parish named after St. William? The
booklet written for the dedication of the church in
1960 states that “Since there was no church named
for St. William in the Archdiocese, then St. William
would have plenty of time in heaven to devote to this
new church.” Another idea is that the founding families had many men named William. Choose the reason that you like!
Have you noticed the logo for our 100th anniversary
and wonder the inspiration was behind it? The cross
is not just the cross of Jesus, but it is the shape of our
church from up high in the sky. It is also a reminder
of our church spire. The Star of Bethlehem behind
the cross is the same one that is on the mosaic behind
the altar.
Are you starting to get hungry? Don’t forget our International Octoberfest on Sunday, October 11th. The
food will be delicious. The entertainment will be fun.
The company of your fellow parishioners will be the
best. Come on out and party with us at this first event
of our 100th year.
LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS
We are looking for volunteers for our kick-off event,
International Octoberfest, on Sunday, October 11,
2015. If you can help for a minimum of 2 hours,
please leave a message at 773/637-6565 ext. 50 and
we will return the call. Please join in!
HARLEM NIGHTS PLAYERS SEEKING ACTORS
Each year The Harlem Nights Players do a comedy

productions. No experience required. For more information, please contact Jeff Kwit at 773/637-3074.

MEDYTACJA AD IEDZIEL Ą
EWA GELIĄ
25 iedziela Zwykła – Moc w słabości
1. Prowadzeni przez Jezusa. Dzisiaj w Ewangelii
Jezus idzie z uczniami przez Galileę. Pismo Święte
nazywa tę krainę „Galileą pogan”. Tak jak Jezus
prowadził swych uczniów przez pogańską Galileę,
tak i nas prowadzi przez nasze miejsca zamieszkania
i pracy, w których żyjemy i obracamy się na co dzień.
Nie są one idealne, może są nawet jak Galilea – takie
jakieś bezbożne i pogańskie, ale Panu to nie
przeszkadza. On chce być z nami wszędzie, zaprasza
nas do cichej z Nim przyjaźni.
2. Bezradni wobec krzyża. A jak się z Nim
zaprzyjaźnimy i zżyjemy, to tak jak apostołom i nam
wtedy powie, że będzie cierpiał, będzie
prześladowany, zabity; a po trzech dniach
zmartwychwstanie. Ta tajemnica przerasta uczniów i
ich przeraża, dlatego boją się pytać i nie chcą
wiedzieć więcej. Z nami jest podobnie. Co roku
przeżywamy Wielki Piątek i Wielką Noc. A jednak,
gdy staniemy wobec naszego krzyża czy krzyża
najbliższej osoby, wtedy nic nie rozumiemy i boimy się
pytać o więcej. Jezus przychodzi, aby uczyć nas, że
moc w słabości się doskonali, że Bóg paradoksalnie
okazuje swą moc najpełniej wtedy, gdy człowiek w
swej słabości potrafi powierzyć się Jemu.
3. Owoce miłości. Wobec tego Jezus proponuje nam
pewną drogę przygotowania. Wie On dobrze, jak
ufamy sobie i jak wywyższamy się nad innych. Nasze
postawy podobne są do postaw uczniów, którzy idąc za
Jezusem, sprzeczali się, kto z nich jest największy.
Mówi On im i nam: Chcesz być pierwszy, bądź ostatni i
bądź sługą wszystkich (Mk 9,35).
Jezus chce, abyśmy Jemu całkowicie powierzali nasze
życie. Pragnie, abyśmy pozwolili prowadzić się Jemu
przez nasze Galilee, w intymności z Nim, bez rozgłosu.
Prośmy Pana o dojrzałe owoce miłości… Zapraszam
do parafii św. Williama na spotkanie biblijne w
piątek, 25 września, godz. 7:30pm na plebanii!
