Stewardship Note: “Now, I want you to know, my brothers
and sisters, that the gospel preached by me is not of human origin.” St. Paul wants us to know that his preaching and in fact
his new life is a gift from Jesus. Stewards recognize that everything they have is a gift from God to be used as God intends.
TENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
June 9, 2013
You changed my mourning into dancing; O LORD, my God,
forever will I give you thanks.
-Psalm 30:12,13
HOPE AND LIFE
Today’s readings tell the story of two
widows. The first reading relates the plight
of the widow with whom the prophet Elijah
stayed; the Gospel tells about the widow of
Nain. In each story, the widow’s only son
had died. For people who lived in those cultures, the son was
the only support of a widow, and the carrying on of the family
name by the son was equal to immortality. A widow whose
only son has died could lose all hope.
Elijah and Jesus are the restorers of hope; they bring the sons
back to life. Saint Paul was metaphorically raised from the
dead when he experienced the conversion and call from God
that he describes in today’s second reading.
What are Christians called to do today? We may not be able
to raise the dead, but perhaps we can rekindle hope for a single
parent. We may not be able to convert a persecutor like Paul,
but if we speak the gospel openly and gently with our lives, we
might touch a life with the Good News.
The second collection this week is
for Higher Fuel and Energy Costs.
Next weekend’s second collection is designated for
Oklahoma survivors of natural disasters.

OKLAHOMA DISASTER COLLECTION
We all have witnessed the horrific photos and news footage of
the destruction in Oklahoma which resulted from several tornados recently. While we prayerfully entrust the souls of those
who died to the Lord, we must not lose sight of how we can
assist the survivors who, in many cases, have lost everything
but the clothing they were wearing.
The U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops have requested
that voluntary collections be taken in parishes before the end of
June. Therefore, we have designated the weekend of June 1516 to assist the relief efforts being offered through Catholic
Charities USA in the areas most affected. Although we have
much in our parish to support, we must also put our “Faith in
Action” to assist those in need as a result of these natural disasters.
Many of the survivors are people of deep faith who thanked
God for the gift of life to continue to be with family and friends
and rebuild what they have lost. May we all be encouraged and
strengthened by the hope which God imparts to us even when
things appear to be most bleak.
CANDLELIGHT PROCESSION
The traditional outdoor candlelight procession in honor of
our Lady of Fatima will be held on Thurs., June13 at 7:00pm.
We kindly request the Children of Mary to take part in this
beautiful tribute to our Lady wearing their distinctive dress as
they carry the statue of the Blessed Mother. We ask the faithful
to join the children and the members of the Holy Rosary Sodality in praying the rosary. Flowers at the Blessed Mother altar
are in honor of Our Lady of Fatima and given in memory of
Felix (Soapy) & Terry Miller by their daughter, Pat Mangen.
PARTNERS IN CHARITY
We are pleased to report that we have collected $25,031 and
exceeded our goal of $25,000 for the Diocesan Partners in
Charity Appeal. I am extremely grateful to all our parishioners
for their sensitivity to the needs of the diocesan church, but
especially to our chairpersons, Betty Sabaj and Carolyn
Swierzbin for their tireless and outstanding efforts and dedication to this cause.
Thank you and may God Bless all our contributors.

Year of Faith, we wish to share some new resources on the
promotion and defense of marriage that have been provided to
dioceses. It is anticipated that the Supreme Court will rule on
two important marriage cases by the end of June. In the face of
on-going threats against life, marriage and religious freedom, it
is important for us to continue to build awareness of these
challenges and encourage our people to know the truth and
beauty of the Church’s teaching about these fundamental goods
to be active witnesses building a culture of life and civilization
of love. See enclosed flyer.

KRONIKA PARAFIALNA
DZIESIĄTA NIEDZIELA ZWYKŁA
9 czerwca 2013
"Biadania moje zmieniłeś mi w taniec, Boże mój, Panie, będę Cię
wysławiał na wieki." (Ps 30, 12, 13)
By być uznanym za proroka, potrzeba
czegoś więcej niż pięknych i porywających
słów. Eliasz przekonał o swym prorockim
powołaniu wdowę z pogańskiej Sarepty,
wskrzeszając jej syna; Jezusa nazwano
„wielkim prorokiem” również po wskrzeszeniu – gdy
przywrócił do życia młodzieńca z Nain. W momencie chrztu
także my otrzymaliśmy udział w prorockiej misji. Aby ją
wypełnić, nie musimy dokonywać wielkich cudów –
wystarczy, że będziemy świadczyć o Bogu i Jego obecności
w naszym życiu. Tam, gdzie jest prawdziwy prorok,
z pewnością zrodzi się w ludzkich sercach wiara w Boga
żywego.
Dzisiejsza druga kolekta jest przeznaczona na pokrycie
kosztów paliwa i energii.
Druga koleta w następną niedzielę będzie przeznaczona na
ofiary kataklizmu w Oklahomie.
GRATULACJE DLA ABSOLWENTÓW ROKU 2013
W sobotę , 8 czerwca na Mszy św. o godz. 16:00 tegoroczni
absolwenci naszej szkoły otrzymali dyplomy ukończenia ósmej
klasy, a tym samym zakończenia nauki w Szkole św. Józefa.
Oto oni: Michael John Andronic, Wiliam Francis Devey,
Oktawia Gielarowiec, Marina Maliki, Emily Puchała, Victoria
Puczydlowski, Hanna Rose Yash.
Rodzina Bazyliki św. Józefa, pracownicy szkoły oraz
administracja składają serdeczne gratulacje za ich osiągnięcia.
Życzymy im również, aby wartości, które wykształcili w czasie
nauki w naszej szkole rozkwitały i przynosiły owoce w
przyszłości. Niech Wam Bóg błogosławi i powodzenia.
60 ROCZNICA ST. JOSEPH POLISH WOMEN"S CLUB

członkowie zarządu: Cynthia Miller, JAne Wilk, Jill Manak,

ZBIÓRKA NA OFIARY KATAKLIZMU

Wszyscy słyszeliśmy o tornadach, które w ostatnim czasie

musimy jednocześnie pamiętać o tych, którzy niejednokrotnie
stracili wszystko.
Episkopat Stanów Zjednoczonych poprosił wiernych o
dobrowolną zbiórkę. W naszej diecezji odbędzie się ona 15 i 16
czerwca.
Bardzo serdecznie prosimy o wsparcie dla potrzebujących.
Zebrane środki będą przekazanie Caritas USA. Stańmy się dla
tych, którzy w trudnej sytuacji powierzyli się Bożej
Opatrzności, odpowiedzią i narzędziem w Jego miłosiernym
ręku, które umacnia i leczy.
PARTNERS IN CHARITY
Z radością informujemy, że w tegorocznej zbiórce Partners In
Charity zebraliśmy 25031 dolarów. Serdecznie dziękujemy
wszystkim ofiarodawcom, którzy w swojej wrażliwości
odpowiedzieli na prośbę ludzi potrzebujących pomocy.
