Memorial Day, May 30, 2011
The best of all possible celebrations of this day
would mean a world at peace. In remembering
those who have given their lives, let us pray for end
of unrest in the world and God’s peace to all.
Memorial Day - Rectory will be closed
THE REASON FOR OUR HOPE
“What is the reason for
your hope?” Imagine somebody
coming up to you and asking
you that question. Not “What
are you hoping for?” or “What
are you hoping to do?” No, this
isn’t about our desires for pos-
sessions or aspirations for life,
it’s “Why do you hope?” Peter today tells us that we
ought to be ready to give an answer to this question.
Truth be told, few of us spend much time thinking
about why we hope. Luckily, the scriptures today give
us our answers. We hope because Christ suffered for
us, in order that we might come to God. We hope be-
cause we know that, in the Spirit, God grants us an-
other Advocate through Christ to remain with us al-
ways. No matter what we might hope for, whatever we
might hope to do, we must always first know and pro-
claim the reason for our hope: the presence of God in
Christ, with us through the power of the Spirit.

 FROM FATHER RICH
I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want first? Lets start with the good news which goes to all
children and it says that the school year 2010-2011 is coming to an end. Last Wednesday we had very nice and en-
joyable Kindergarten Graduation and all our graduates proved that they are ready for the first grade. Do you re-
member your kindergarten graduation and going to the First Grade? Last Friday we celebrated the 8th Grade
Graduation with the tears in our eyes because we were aware that we are saying goodbye to one of the best gradua-
tion classes in our parish. We wish them the best, we thank them for everything they did for our school and our par-
ish and we hope that they will be around. That was the good news about Graduations and upcoming vacations.
…..The bad news is that we have to go back to school and continue during the summer studying changes to the Ro-
man Missal so we will be ready for Advent when the changes will be implemented. We hope that the questions and
answers below will help you to prepare for the new translation.
Is the Mass changing?
The essence of the Mass is not changing, but the way it is celebrated will be noticeably different. While the structure
and order of the Mass will remain the same, many of the prayers and responses of the liturgy have been newly
translated into English from the original Latin text. In addition, new observances for recently canonized saints, addi-
tional prefaces for the Eucharistic prayers, additional Masses for various needs and intentions, and updated instruc-
tions for the overall celebration of the mass will be added. The most significant change people will notice, however, is
the new translation of the actual words of the Mass.
What are some examples of the changes made to the prayers of the Mass?
A change everyone will notice at the very beginning of Mass is the people’s response to the priest’s greeting, The
Lord be with you.” In place of the words “And also with you,” the congregation will reply, “And with your spirit” –
wording that better reflects the biblical language of St. Paul in his letters (see Galatians 6:18; Philippians 4:23, 2
Timothy 4:22) and recognizes the unique work of the Holy Spirit through the ordained priest to celebrate
the Eucharist.
People will also notice a change in the opening word of the Nicene Creed. Instead of saying “We believe in one
God…,” the congregation will begin “I believe in one God…,” a more personal expression of faith – as well as a more
literal translation of the Latin text of the Creed.
Tomorrow we will celebrate Memorial Day praying for all deceased, especially those who gave their lives for free-
dom and independence. We invite you to one of our morning Masses or to the Mass celebrated in Catholic Cemeter-
ies. The schedule is printed on the following page. Have a Blessed and safe Memorial Day.
God Bless, Fr. Rich

tended by all the students in school. After Mass

wonderful pancake breakfast and the 6th grad-
ers assisted in cleanup. This is one of the ‘Great”

An exciting fundraiser based on professional baseball!

BaseballMania last 17 weeks of the professional baseball season. A ticket’s value in any given week is determined
by the combined scores of the three baseball teams listed on the back of the ticket for that week. On the back of
each BaseballMania ticket, you will see a different set of 3 teams for each of the 17 weeks of the fundraiser.
Prizes are awarded each week of the fundraiser to the top 4 highest scoring tickets and the 2 lowest scoring tick-
ets. At the end of the season, tickets with the most and fewest combined points for all weeks win grand prizes. See
the front of your ticket for details on prize money amounts. Winners will be notified by the participating organiza-
tion that distributed the BaseballMania ticket.
All ticket stubs must be turned in by June 3, 2011 to St. Albert the Great School or rectory.
Thank you for help! Have Questions? Contact Brenda @ 708-670-0675 or St. Albert School at 708-424-7757

FEAST OF FAITH
The Collection: A Privilege
As the altar is prepared for the celebration of the Eucharist, the collection is taken up. In the
early church, this part of the Mass must have been something to behold, as the people suddenly be-
gan to move, bringing forward to the deacons and priests freshly-baked bread and fine wine. Then,
after the Eucharistic Prayer, that same community came forward again in the Communion proces-
sion, and they received back the very gifts they had given, now transformed into something infi-
nitely more precious than bread and wine: the very Body and Blood of Christ.
Beginning around the eleventh century, it became the custom for people to present money
instead of bread and wine, and the procession of the faithful gradually disappeared (it survives in
the liturgy of Holy Thursday). But the meaning is the same. We continue to bring the fruit of our la-
bors and to offer them freely to God. And God continues to transform them into Christ. It is through
our generous sharing of time, talent, and treasure that our parishes can preach the gospel, reach out
to the sick and the imprisoned, and celebrate the sacraments. —Corinna Laughlin, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
 OD KS. RYSZARDA

„Jeżeli Mnie miłujecie, będziecie zachowywać moje przykazania”. (J 14, 15

Jednym z największych ciężarów, jakie z trudem dźwiga ludzkie serce, jest samotność. Nic tak nie
boli jak puste miejsce pozostawione przez kogoś, kto odszedł. Nic tak nie sprawia przykrości, jak
świadomość nigdy niekończącej się rozłąki. Dlatego Jezus żegnając się ze swoimi uczniami,
zapewnia: Nie zostawię was sierotami (J 14, 18). Mówi tak, ponieważ ich kocha, a kochać, to być
obecnym.
Jezus pozostał z nami w Eucharystii oraz przez dar Parakleta – Ducha Świętego, którego przyjście
zapowiada w dzisiejszej Ewangelii. Duch Święty jednoczący Syna z Ojcem jest sprawcą naszej
komunii z Bogiem. Greckie paracletos pochodzi z języka sądowego i oznacza obrońcę, adwokata, a
także świadka, który zeznaje na korzyść oskarżonego. Duch Święty, którego otrzymają Apostołowie
stanie się źródłem wewnętrznej mocy do dawania świadectwa Jezusowi wobec tych, którzy Go
odrzucają. To ktoś niezwykle potrzebny w sporze, jaki chrześcijanin będzie musiał toczyć ze
światem.
W piątek, 20-go maja uroczystą Maszą Świętą zakończyliśmy rok szkolny 2010-11 w Polskiej
Szkole im. Mikołaja Reja przy Parafii Świętego Alberta. My Kapłani, którzy uczyliśmy Katechezy
przygotowując dzieci do 1-szej Komunii i młodzież do Sakramentu Bierzmowania dziękujemy
dyrekcji szkoły, rodzicom i dzieciom za wyrazy szczerej wdzięczności. Zapewniamy o pamięci
modlitwewnej w intencji szkoły i tych wszystkich, którzy są z tą szkołą związani.
Przypominamy, że nie ma wakacji od Boga i dlatego zapraszamy wszystkie dzieci z rodzinami
do Kościoła na Pierwszy Piątek miesiąca czerwca. Spowiedź będzie od godziny 5:00 do 6:00
a o godzinie 6:00-tej będzie Msza Święta o Najświętszym Sercu Pana Jezusa.
Poniedziałek, 30-go maja jest obchodzony w USA jako dzień pamięci o zmarłych, a zwłaszcza
tych którzy oddali życie za wolność ojczyzny. Msze Święte będą odprawione w tym dniu na
różnych cmentarzach i rozklad tych Mszy Świętych jest zamieszczony w biuletynie. W naszej
Parafii w tym dniu będzie Msza Świeta za wszystkich zmarłych z naszych rodzin i tych których
imiona wypisane są w Księdze Zawierzenia Błogosławionemu Janowi Pawłowi II umieszczonej w
kaplicy Matki Bożej przy obrazie Ojca Świętego o godzinie 6:00 pm połączona z ostatnią Majówką.
Święto Wniebowstąpienia Pańskiego przypada w tym roku w czwartek 2-go czerwca, ale w USA
święto to jest przeniesione na niedzielę i będziemy obchodzić je uroczyście w niedzielę
5-go czerwca.
Szczęść Boże, Ks. Ryszard

W niedzielę 12 czerwca o godz. 1;30 pm zostanie odprawiona

w naszym Kościele Msza Święta Odpustowa “Koła Skrzypne”.
Po Mszy Świętej w sali pod Kościołem zostanie podany
smaczny obiad, a po nim rozpocznie się zabawa. Do
tańca przygrywać będzie zespół “Millenium”. Cały do-
chód przeznaczony jest na remont plebanii w Skrzypnym.
Bilety są w cenie $20.00 - dorośli, $10.00 - dzieci. Bilety
można już nabywać po Mszy Świętej lub w tygodniu w
kancelarii parafialnej. Do udziału w tej zabawie zachę-
camy zaprzyjaźnione Góralskie Koła oraz wszystkich
parafian! Telefon kontaktowy: Jan Mrowca 780-430-9518
