Who is St. William? He was born in the city of Vercelli in 1085. William was orphaned as an in-fant and raised by relatives. As a young boy of four-teen, he set out on a pilgrimage to Spain. He suffered many hardships, but kept on until he arrived. Little is known of him during this time that he spent in Spain. William later returned to Italy and began the life of a hermit. At this time he performed his first miracle of restoring sight to a blind man. He became famous, but he wanted to be left to pray. So he traveled to Monte Vergine and established a monastery in 1124. This monastery still stands today. St. William was known for establishing even more religious houses, converting sinners, and even advising the king. He died in 1142 on June 25. That is his feast day Don’t forget to circle October 11, 2015 on your calendars so that you come with your appetite to taste all the delicious food that will be offered at our International Octoberfest. Come and have fun! Our next 100th Anniversary Planning Meeting will be on Monday, September 21 at 6:30pm in Lie-brich Hall.

LABOR DAY Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It con-stitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. The idea of a “workingmen's holiday” spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many indus-trial centers of the country.

The Rectory and School will be closed Monday. The Rectory will resume normal full time hours.

GARDEN CLUB NEWS

Ogłoszenia Polskiej Katolickiej Szkoły im. Świętego Brata Alberta Rozpoczęcie roku szkolnego w Polskiej Katolickiej Szkole im. Świetego Brata Alberta odbędzie się 12 września 2015 roku, o godzinie 10:00 rano.

Adoracja ajświetszego Sakramentu W każdy czwartek w naszym kościele pod wezwaniem Sw. Williama odbywa sie Adoracja Najświętszego Sakramentu. Rozpoczynamy ja o godzinie 12:00 w południei trwa do godziny 5:30 wieczór. O godzinie 3:00 po południa odbywa sie Nabożeństwo do Bożego Miłosierdzia w języku polskim.W ciagu całego dnia adoracji polecamy Panu Bogu szczególnie dwie bardzo ważne intencje: modlimy sie o pokój na całym świecie oraz o powołania Kapłańskie i Zakonne do służby Bożej w Kościele.

Zbieramy Artykuły Żywnościowe Ostatnia niedziela miesiąca 30 wrzeznia to okazja aby przynieść nie psującą się żywność dla potrzebujących. Wspomniane dary prosimy przynieść do przedsionka kościoła. W ten sposób możemy przyjść z pomocą ludziom w potrzebie. W imieniu biednych składamy wam przeto najserdeczniejsze podziękowanie za wszystkie otrzymane od was dary.

Zapisy na religie w języku angielskim tak zwane- CCD Zapisy na nowy rok katechetyczny 2015/2016 odbędą się w niedziele 13 wrzesnia 2015 roku od godziny 9 tej z rana do 12:00 po poludniu.

coniedzielne czytania biblijne, jedno ze Starego Testamentu, jedno z Nowego Testamentu i Ewangelia. Każdy uczestnik otrzymuje teksty czytań, które na poc-zątku spotkania są proklamowane. Najpierw uczestnicy sami odpowiadają co zrozumieli z przeczytanego tekstu, a co jest dla nich niejasne bądź trudne do pojęcia. Po tej wstępnej analizie tekstu następuje wprowadzenie his-toryczno – egzegetyczne, które pomaga nam umiejscowić czytania w odpowiednim kontekście zdarzeń biblijnych, pozwala znaleźć powiązania tematyczne pomiędzy poszczególnymi czytaniami oraz danym okresem liturgic-znym, a tym samym pomaga lepiej rozumieć, co konk-retne teksty biblijne chcą mi powiedzieć, czego chcą mnie nauczyć. Po wprowadzeniu jest czas na aktualizację, na konkretne odniesienia słowa Bożego do mojego życia oso-bistego, rodzinnego i do nas jako wspólnoty Parafii i Kościoła.

Nasze spotkania biblijne rozpoczniemy w Parafii św. Williama, po wakacyjnej przerwie, w piątek, 11 września po Mszy Św., o godz. 7:30pm. Serdecznie zapraszamy!

SPOTKA IA BIBLIJ E w Parafii św. Williama Chyba nikogo nie trzeba przekonywać jak

doniosłą rolę odgrywa Pismo święte w życiu każdego chrześcijanina. Pismo święte to żywa Księga życia, słowo które trwa na wieki. Czy jednak my – wierzący katolicy dość je znamy? Czy je rozważamy? Czy nie dajemy się innym, jak chociażby protestantom, bądź świadkom Je-howy, prześcignąć w znajomości Pisma św.? Chodzimy do kościoła, słuchamy czytań wziętych z Biblii, ale ile z tego rozumiemy? Takie i tym podobne pytania skłoniły mnie do zapoczątkowania w październiku zeszłego roku SPOTKAŃ BIBLIJNYCH w Parafii św. Williama. Spot-kania te zostały zaproponowane wszystkim chętnym wiernym, którzy chcieliby pogłębić swoją wiedzę na temat Biblii, a nade wszystko prowadzić żywy dialog ze Słowem Bożym. Już na pierwsze spotkanie przyszła grupa parafian, która z czasem poszerzyła się o wiernych także spoza naszej parafii. Każdy jednak pragnący dać odpowiedź na pytanie postawione w tematyce spotkań: Obecność słowa Bożego w moim życiu czyli: czy rozumiesz Słowo, które czytasz i słyszysz w liturgii? Tematykę spotkań wyznaczają
