CANONIZATION: St. Teresa of Calcutta
Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, the nun known to the world as Mother Teresa of Calcutta, was born to Albanian
parents in what is now Macedonia in 1910. As a Sister of Loreto, she taught girls in her order's mission
schools in India for twenty years. But in 1946, on a train journey in the mountains, she suddenly realized
that God was calling her to something more--to care for the poorest of the poor.
In the city of Calcutta, many homeless people lived and died on the street. One day Sister Teresa came
across a half-dead woman lying in front of a hospital. She stayed with the woman until she died. From that
time on, she dedicated herself to caring for the poorest of the poor in India. She founded the Nirmal Hriday
("Pure Heart") Home for the Dying in a former temple in Calcutta, where poor, homeless people were cared
for and allowed to die with dignity when no one else would have them. She also founded an orphanage and
leprosy hospital.
Other young women, including some of her former students, soon joined her in her work with the sick, the
poor, and the forgotten of Calcutta's slums. They formed a new worldwide order of nuns, the Missionaries
of Charity. Like Mother Teresa, they wear a plain white, blue-edged sari, the traditional dress of Indian women. They live a simple, prayerful life, and take care of people all over the world wherever there is need.
Mother Teresa won several awards for her work, including the Nobel Peace Prize. She always used the money from such prizes to found new homes and hospitals for poor people. She died in 1997 at the age of 87.
Her life and work remind us that happiness and holiness come from doing "something beautiful for God."
She was beatified in 2003, and are canonized on this Sunday, September 4, 2016.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS
Every faith filled Catholic should encourage
families with young children to teach them about
the Catholic Faith.
Our Program is open to all children of the parish
from the time they enter the first grade through
the completion of their grammar school years.
As children mature, we assist them in preparing for the Sacrament of
Reconciliation (Penance) and reception of their First Holy Communion. This
requires two years of preparation.
Our Confirmation Preparation Program covers 24 months. Our current group
of young people will continue their preparation for reception of the
Sacrament in the Spring.
Sometimes, there are older children, teens or young adults who have not
completed their Initiation Sacraments (Baptism, First Communion, First
Penance, or Confirmation), please spread the word -- they are welcomed to
join our teen and adult group that also meets on Wednesday evenings. They
will join people of other Christian faiths who are exploring the Catholic faith
with the intention of joining our parish.
Our parish offers classes on Wednesday evenings at St. Adalbert’s.
Beginning on Wednesday, September 21, we will meet TWO TIMES per
month from 6:30 to 8:00.
We have a wonderful group of teachers who volunteer their time to share the
wonders of our faith with the children who are the future of the church.

Nieść krzyż, stawiać czy odstawiać?
Ten, który przyszedł rozpalić w ludziach ogień Bożej miłości zaskakuje nas wezwaniem: „Jeśli kto
przychodzi do Mnie, a nie ma w nienawiści swego ojca i matki, żony i dzieci, braci i sióstr, nadto i siebie
samego, nie może być moim uczniem”. O jaką nienawiść tu chodzi? Aby dobrze zrozumieć intencje i
właściwy sens twardych słów Chrystusa, trzeba koniecznie uwzględnić znaczenie wypowiedzi Zbawiciela w
oryginalnym, aramejskim języku. W języku polskim bowiem nienawiść zawsze oznacza zaprzeczenie miłości,
a nasz stosunek do innych osób (zarówno pozytywny, jak i negatywny) możemy wyrazić wieloma innymi
słowami, dającymi się „cieniować”. Kogoś na przykład kochamy lub miłujemy, z innymi wiąże nas przyjaźń
lub zwykła sympatia. I odwrotnie: kogoś nie lubimy, czujemy do niego niechęć lub antypatię. Możemy mieć
nawet racjonalne powody po temu i nie od razu musi to być grzechem. Nienawiść natomiast, jako pragnienie
zła dla drugiej osoby i robienie jej czegoś na złość, zawsze jest grzechem. Nie tylko ciężkim, ale i głupim. Jest
rzeczą oczywistą, że nie o takiej nienawiści myślał Chrystus, gdy mówił o niej jako o koniecznym warunku
pójścia za Nim. W ojczystym języku Pana Jezusa naszą relację do innych osób opisują w zasadzie tylko dwa
słowa: „kochać” i „nienawidzić”, przy czym „nienawidzić” nie znaczy życzyć źle, lecz kochać mniej,
odczuwać większy dystans. W tym kontekście staje się jasne, że Chrystus od tych, którzy chcą iść za Nim – a
więc dokonują definitywnego wyboru Jezusa jako swojego Pana i Zbawiciela – domaga się „nienawiści” czyli
zweryfikowania dotychczasowych relacji w stosunku do wszystkich osób lub wartości, które z naturalnych
względów mogłyby aspirować do zajęcia centralnego miejsca w duszy (i życiu) chrześcijanina (np. rodzice,
małżonek, dzieci, ziemska ojczyzna). Znamienne, że wśród tych aspirantów Chrystus wymienia także „siebie
samego”. Bo jak długo na tronie naszego serca siedzieć będzie nasze „Ja”, a nie Chrystus, nie będzie w nas
prawdziwego chrześcijaństwa. Przyjąć Chrystusa, to znaczy także przyjąć Jego Krzyż.
Wysprzedaż rzeczy używanych!!!
Nasze parafialne „GARAGE SALE”
Informujemy, że zaczęliśmy zbiórkę rzeczy
na naszą wysprzedaż, którą planujemy
zrobić w miesiącu październiku. Jeśli
ktoś posiada zbędne, ale w dobrym stanie
przedmioty użytku codziennego jak odzież, naczynia itp.
prosimy o dostarczanie do naszego holu parafialnego we
czwartki w godzinach od 10:00 rano do 2:30 po południu.
Prosimy o wcześniejsze powiadomienie biura parafialnego
(908) 352-2791 o czasie przybycia.
Dziękujemy za każdą ofiarę.
NAUKA RELIGII
Nasz pogram nauki religii jest otwarty dla wszystkich dzieci należących do parafii.
Serdecznie witamy też każde dziecko lub osobę dorosłą, które chcą przyjąć Sakrament
Komunii lub Bierzmowania. Program trwa 2 lata, od klasy 1-ej do wyższych. Nasza
Parafia oferuje lekcje religii we środy wieczorem. Wychodząc naprzeciw prośbom
rodziców, mając na uwadze plan zajęć w szkołach obowiązkowych oraz trud dowożenia
dzieci z daleka zdecydowaliśmy, że lekcje religii będą odbywały się 2 razy w miesiącu
od 6:30 do 8-ej wieczorem. Zapisy na początku września.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Every faith filled Catholic should encourage families
with young children to teach them about the Catholic
Faith. Parents decide to have their children baptized
in the Catholic Church and parents are responsible
for teaching their children about the Catholic Faith.
While parents are the primary models for a child’s
life, the parish serves to help them. By enrolling in a
parish program, parents ensure that children have
solid roots in order to grow in spirit and knowledge.
Our Program is open to all children of the parish
from the time they enter the first grade through the
completion of their grammar school years. Our parish
offers classes on Wednesday evenings at St. Adalbert’s. Beginning on Wednesday, September 21, we
will meet TWO TIMES per month from 6:30 to 8:00.

INVITED
The Good News is that we have all been invited-invited to the Kingdom, invited to be disciples. It's a
life-changing invitation, and like so many other such
invitations, it requires a great deal of deliberation and
discernment. Whether we choose marriage,
Memorials for the Week of
ordination, single life, we know the serious planning
September 2nd, 2016
and consideration that accompany these profound
decisions. Like the tower-builder in the Gospel, we
have weighed both the monetary and emotional cost. Tabernacle Candle: Health Intentions of Noel
We have pondered and planned our lives in the direcO’Sullivan - Requested by O’Sullivan family
tion to which we believe God has called us. And
while we pray for guidance and acceptance of God's Altar Candle: Health Intentions of Noel
will, we often fail to understand so much. Like
O’Sullivan - Requested by O’Sullivan family
Solomon, we turn to God for wisdom and counsel in
our life-changing decisions.
