PARISH PICTORIAL UPDATE For the upcoming 50th parish anniversary – September 28, 2019 – a pictorial book will be created. Many parishioners have taken advantage of the photo sessions with professional photographers here in our parish last July and October. These photos will be included in the book. For anyone who has not had the chance to do so, it is not too late! You can call LIFETOUCH PHOTOGRAPHY at 1-800-521-4611 and schedule your session at a different parish OR you can email your family photo (please see samples) to Liz by April 15th at: [email protected]. Pictures will be trimmed to about 2”x 2”. PARAFIALNY PAMIĘTNIK Z okazji 50-tej rocznicy parafii - 28 września 2019 r. - zostanie utworzony Pamiętnik. Wielu parafian skorzystało z sesji fotograficznych w naszej parafii w lipcu i w październiku. Zdjęcia te zostaną uwzględnione w pamiętniku. Dla rodzin, które nie wzięły udziału, nie jest jeszcze za późno! Można zadzwonić do LIFETOUCH PHOTOGRAPHY na numer 1-800-521-4611 i zarezerwować sesję w innej parafii LUB można wysłać swoje rodzinne zdjęcie (przykłady obok) do Elżbiety na: [email protected] do 15 kwietnia. Zdjęcia będą o wymiarze 2” X 2”.
Please Make Your Gi! to the 2019 Annual Catholic Appeal “Come, Follow Me…and share the Word”
Many families in our parish already received the Annual Catholic Appeal request mailing from Cardinal Cupich. On behalf of those served by the ministries, parishes, and schools who receive funding from the Appeal, we thank you for your gi#s. Please return your response as soon as possible. The Annual Catholic Appeal offers a wonderful opportunity to answer Jesus’ call to “Come, Follow Me…and share the Word.” As we contemplate God’s many gi#s to us, we should also reflect on our gra%tude. Your financial support for the work of our Parish, our Archdiocese, and the Church throughout the world is one way to express this gra%tude. Please give generously to the 2019 Annual Catholic Appeal. When our parish reaches its goal of $28,800 in paid pledges, all addi"onal funds contributed will be returned to us for use in our Parish.
Prosimy o złożenie ofiary na rzecz Dorocznej Kwesty Katolickiej 2019. „PÓJDŹ ZA MNĄ... i głoś Słowo”
Wiele rodzin w naszej parafii już otrzymało list od Kardynała Cupicha z prośbą o złożenie zobowiązania finansowego na rzecz Kwesty Katolickiej. W imieniu tych, którzy korzystają z posług duszpasterskich, parafialnych i otrzymują pomoc finansową z funduszy Kwesty, dziękujemy Państwu za Wasz dar. Prosimy o jak najszybsze odesłanie Państwa odpowiedzi. Doroczna Kwesta Katolicka stwarza wspaniałe możliwości odpowiedzenia na wezwanie Jezusa: PÓJDŹ ZA MNĄ ... i głoś Słowo". Rozmyślając nad darami, które otrzymaliśmy od Boga, powinniśmy równocześnie zastanawiać się nad sposobem okazania wdzięczność za otrzymane dobro. Państwa finansowe wsparcie dzieł naszej parafii, archidiecezji i Kościoła na świecie jest jednym ze sposobów wyrażenia tej wdzięczności. Prosimy o hojne wsparcie Dorocznej Kwesty Katolickiej 2019 r. Kiedy nasza parafia osiągnie swoją kwotę docelową, czyli $28,800 w gotówce, to wszystkie dodatkowo zebrane fundusze zostaną zwrócone parafii na zaspokojenie naszych własnych potrzeb.

A conversa"on with God
One of the most important tasks for catechists is to teach our students how to pray. In younger grades, we memorize and recite well-known prayers like "Our Father", "Hail Mary" and "Glory be to the Father". We also introduce the prayer of "Five Fingers" (each finger of one hand reminds us of different inten%ons from prayer for our loved ones and the world to ourselves). Pope Francis is the author of this simple prayer of five fingers. In older classes, we pray for Rosary, litanies and introduce students to contempla%on, that is, Examen (Igna%us's examina%on of conscience) and Lec;o Divina (prayer with the Holy
Scriptures). The last two prayers "work" very well with teenagers who live in a constant noise, stress and movement and seem to appreciate the peace that prayer at the beginning of the class gives. The Examen, which we usually pray in the evening, helps to look at our day hour by hour to see how God works on my day and to what conversion He calls me today. There are several free applica%ons on the phone, which help to pray with this prayer- my favorite is "The Examen with Fr James Mar%n, SJ" on Podcasts. Lec;o Divina contemplates on the reading from the Scriptures- we ask ourselves what is happening in the text (Lec;o), what the text says to me (Medita;o), what I want to say to God (Ora;o) and for what change will this text make in my life (Contempla;o). Prayer is an amazing tool that allows us to get in touch with God and strengthens the rela%onship with the One who should be the most important in our lives.
Rozmowa z Bogiem
Jednym z najważniejszych zadań jakie stoją przed katechetami jest nauczenie naszych studentów modlitwy. W młodszych klasach jest to powtarzanie i utrwalenie znanych modlitw jak „Ojcze nasz”, „Zdrowaś Mario” i „Chwała Ojcu” i zaznajomienie z modlitwą „Pieciu palców” (każdy palec ręki przypomina nam o różnych intencjach od modlitwy za naszych najbliższych i świat po nas samych). Papież Franciszek jest autorem tej prostej modlitwy pieciu palców. W starszych klasach modlimy się Różańcem, odmawiamy litanie i wprowadzamy studentów w kontemplacje czyli Examen (Ignacjański rachunek sumienia) i Lec;o Divina (modlitwa Pismem Św). Dwie ostatnie modlitwy są bardzo dobrze odbierane przez nastolatków, którzy żyją w ciąłym hałasie, stresie i ruchu więc doceniają pokój jaki daje modlitwa na początku klasy. Examen, którym z reguły modlimy się wieczorem, pomaga przyglądnąć się naszemu dniu godzina po godzinie by zobaczyć jak Pan Bóg działał w moim dniu i do jakiego nawrócenia mnie dzisiaj wzywa. Jest kilka darmowych aplikacji na telefon, które pomagają się modlić tą modlitwą - w języku polskim np. "Modlitwa w drodze". Lec;o Divina kontempluje czytanie fragmentu Pisma Św- pytamy co się dzieje w tekście (Lec;o), co tekst mi mówi (Medita;o), co chcę powiedzieć o tym teksie Bogu (Ora;o) i do czego, do jakiej zmiany mnie inspiruje (Contempla;o). Modlitwa jest niesamowitym narzędziem jakie pozwala nam wejść w kontakt z Panem Bogiem i wzmacnia relacje z Tym, który powinien być najważniejszy w naszym życiu. Renata Sosin

PILNIE POTRZEBNA JEST POMOC!
Jezus prosi nas, jako chrześcijan, abyśmy służyli bliźniemu i karmili głodnych.
Ale jak to zrobić? Jednym ze sposobów to pomoc w naszej miesięcznej Zbiórce Żywności dla Sąsiada. Od wielu lat
zbieramy jedzenie i dostarczamy je do spiżarni w parafii św. Alfonsa. To jest
dzięki wspaniałym wolontariuszom, którzy zbierają i przewożą żywność w trzeci weekend każdego miesiąca. W ciągu ostatnich miesięcy straciliśmy wielu woluntariuszy i pilnie potrzebujemy
nowych. Prosimy rozważyć dołączenie się do tej bardzo łatwej służby. Zazwyczaj
pomoc jest potrzebna tylko dwa lub trzy razy w roku. Obejmuje to wcześniejsze
przybycie na wybraną Msze, zaparkowanie przy wejściu do kościoła i
zebranie jedzenia do bagażnika od przynoszących. Następnie dostarczanie datków do Św. Alfonsa (411 N Wheeling Rd) w tą samą niedzielę pomiędzy 12:15
a 12:30pm—tam jest zawsze ktoś do pomocy z rozładowaniem żywności.
To tylko tyle! Szczególnie pilnie potrzebujemy woluntariuszy na nasze
polskie Msze. Zadzwoń do JoRene Anderson (847-463-6322 w jęz.
angielskim) lub do biura parafialnego (847-827-9220) aby uzyskać więcej
informacji lub zapisać się do pomocy.
Food Drive Ministry Needs Help! As Chris%ans, Jesus asks us to serve our neighbor and feed the hungry. But how do we do this? One way could be by helping with St. Thomas Becket’s monthly food drive. We have been collec%ng food and delivering it to the St. Alphonsus Food Pantry each
month for MANY years, thanks to the wonderful volunteers who collect and transport the food the 3rd weekend of every month. However, we have lost quite a few volunteers in recent months and are in need of some new helpers. Please consider joining this very easy ministry. You will usually only be asked to help two to three %mes a year. It involves coming early to the mass you select, parking in a spot near the church entrance, and then delivering the food to St. Al’s between 12:15 and 12:30 on Sunday. That is it! We are especially in need of volunteers for the two Polish masses, but could use more help at the English masses also. Please call JoRene Anderson (847-463-6322) or the rectory (847-827-9220) for more informa%on or to sign up to help.

I appreciate the kind compliments for our party, but all the suppor%ng workers are where much of the credit is due for which I am blessed. It would be great to list all these wonderful volunteers that are so important, but space is limited. Thanks to everyone for helping with the clean up. A+endance was over 105 people. Winners are; $200 quarters: Ranakowski/Brandt – Ed & Judy Nowak – Mulvehill The final $1000 score winner Tony Pacen". If you enjoy these events, want to run this event, be a board member, join the Men’s Club and you can be a president!

Ques"on: I've no%ced that when I go to
Mass at different parishes, some-%mes people say and do different
things. Why is that? Answer:
The Mass in its current form has taken shape over the course of
2,000 years. Over %me, tradi%ons, structures, and prayers have been put into place. There are certain
rubrics for the Mass that are nor-ma%ve wherever you go. This
means you could a+end Mass in Malawi or Thailand or Italy and
s%ll watch the same basic liturgy unfold, even if you don't under-
stand the language. There may be some cultural differences from
place to place, things that aren't specifically listed. For example, in the United States most people go up for Communion in a nice neat line. In Europe, everyone gets up around the same %me. It's a bit of
a free-for-all! Some people might take it upon
themselves to change things indi-vidually. People may not like
something that feels too "liberal" or "conserva%ve," and they may
take a well-meaning stance in the opposite direc%on. When people
(including the presiders) do things that are distrac%ng or change the liturgy, it introduces an element
that breaks the unity of the assembled community. The
important thing to remember is that we gather as the Body of
Christ to celebrate the Eucharist. If you are confused, ask! If you are
frustrated, pray for the spirit of charity.
