My dear Parishioners, Friends of our Parish, Brothers and Sisters, Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit

Sacred Heart Parish

My dear Parishioners, Friends of our Parish, Brothers and Sisters,

It is oftentimes good to stand before a mystery of life and ponder it. Today we stand before the profound mystery of God: One God, three Persons; a mystery people have pondered since the beginning of time. Because God has been and should be a big part of our lives, we should ponder the mystery of God so as to understand God a little better, to be in awe, and to celebrate more profoundly the God we worship, love, listen to, desire to be with, and try to be like.

We come to understand that when we make these statements about God, we are making statements about our own lives. We exist because God exists. There is no life apart from God. The eternal God made us to have eternal life. His Spirit within us destines us for eternity. We are to strive to be holy as God is holy. God has empowered us to do good. We know what is good because God shares His wisdom with us. God commands us to love. He made us to love, to sacrifice, to be merciful and compassionate, to serve, and bless others. As love abounds in the Holy Trinity, so too, must love bind us as the Body of Christ, as one people before God. Yes, the mystery of our lives lies within the mystery of God.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit…

Last Sunday, June 5th we hosted our Archbishop, Cardinal Blase Cupich. It was a great opportunity for us to personally meet him at Sacred Heart. I would like to once again heartily thank all of you for the wonderful celebration of the 150th Anniversary of Sacred Heart Parish. It was a unique event and I hope that the memory of it will remain with us for many years.

Our Jubilee celebration was a beautiful time, very spiritual and joyful. This is why I’d like to thank Deacon Tom & Linda, Deacon Nick, Liz, Rita, Piotr, Nancy, Beth & Paul, Father Dave, John & Sue, the choirs, Guitar Ensemble, Voices of Praise, Highlanders choirs: Mali Ślebodni, Jawory, Mali Hyrni, lectors and altar servers for a beautifully prepared Jubilee liturgy.

Holy Name Society donated a beautiful Jubilee Chalice, which was blessed by the Cardinal during the Mass. It will be used on special occasions.

I’d like to thank Sacred Heart Parish organizations: Holy Name, CCW, Polish Club, Knights of Columbus, Religious Education, Lovin Links, Fun Club, Prayer Shawl Ministry, Respect Life, also Highlanders and Zbigniew Herbert School of Polish Language and Culture communities’ representatives for a beautiful entrance procession with banners.

And I’m sure that you will agree with me that our church looks splendid! The decorations are outstanding. I’d like to thank Mike Lundberg and his wife Wendy, our Maintenance Department, and all those who worked with Mike. Also I’d like to thank Zibi Printing for donating the beautiful church banner and decals for our church windows.

Thank you very much to everyone who took part in our Jubilee Banquet in the Camelot Banquet Hall. Very special thanks to Deacon Tom & Linda, Bogumiła & Brigid. Thanks to Nick and Maureen for a successful raffle. I know a lot of people wanted to be with us on Sunday afternoon but couldn't for various reasons. Thank you all very much.

This Sunday is the last Sunday when Father Dave will celebrate the Eucharist as an Associate Pastor of Sacred Heart Parish. Beginning in July, he will start working in another parish. I would like to thank Fr. Dave for his five years at Sacred Heart, for his zealous priesthood service, for celebrating Holy Masses, for his sacramental service, and especially for celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Father Dave – may God bless you at your new assignment. Godspeed!

As you know, Father Dave asked not to arrange any reception for him, and I am asking you to support him with your prayers. Thank you.

“Like the church that inspires it, the spirit and validity of the parish lie not in its buildings – beautiful though they may be – but in every person who has been, or is, or will be part of it.”

The church, parish is more than buildings. Sacred Heart is people who for 150 years have gathered to build, organize, serve and – especially to pray.

Sacred Heart Parish in Palos Hills is you. My Brothers and Sisters, you are, we are, part of the beautiful history of Sacred Heart Parish!

I wish you all a wonderful Sunday rest and a great week. I remember you in my everyday prayers, and I ask you to pray for me too, please. May God reward you all the good that you do for Sacred Heart Parish.

With prayer, Fr. Jacek

Drodzy Parafianie, Przyjaciele naszej Parafii, Bracia i Siostry,

Czasem dobrze jest stanąć przed zagadnieniem tajemnicą życia i pomyśleć. Dzisiaj przed nami głęboka tajemnica Boga: Jeden Bóg, Trzy Osoby – tajemnica… Ponieważ Bóg był i powinien być dużą częścią naszego życia, powinniśmy zastanowić się nad Jego tajemnicą, aby choć trochę lepiej Go zrozumieć, Boga, którego czcimy,

kochamy, którego słuchamy, na którego wzór i podobieństwo jesteśmy stworzeni.

Zadając pytania doświadczamy czegoś ciekawego, że kiedy wypowiadamy te stwierdzenia na temat Boga, to wypowiadamy się także na temat naszego własnego życia. Istniejemy, ponieważ istnieje Bóg. Nie ma życia bez Boga.

Wieczny Bóg dał nam życie wieczne. Jego tchnienie w nas, dusza nieśmiertelna, jest pierwiastkiem wieczności. Mamy starać się być świętymi, tak jak Bóg jest święty. Bóg dał nam siłę do czynienia dobra. Wiemy, co jest dobre, ponieważ Bóg dzieli się z nami swoją mądrością. Bóg nakazuje nam kochać. Sprawił, żebyśmy kochali, poświęcali się, byli miłosierni i współczujący, byśmy służyli i błogosławili innym. Jak miłość obfituje w Trójcy Świętej, tak też miłość musi wiązać nas jako Ciało Chrystusa, jako jeden lud przed Bogiem. Tak, tajemnica naszego życia tkwi w tajemnicy Boga.

Chwała Ojcu i Synowi i Duchowi Świętemu…

W minioną niedzielę 5 czerwca gościliśmy naszego Arcybiskupa Kardynała Blasé Cupicha.

Była to dla nas świetna okazja, aby spotkać się z nim osobiście. Chciałbym jeszcze raz

serdecznie podziękować wszystkim Wam za wspaniałe obchody 150-lecia Parafii Najświętszego Serca. Było to wyjątkowe wydarzenie i mam nadzieję, że pamięć o nim pozostanie z nami na długie lata.

Nasza uroczystość jubileuszowa była pięknym czasem, bardzo duchowym i radosnym.

Dlatego dziękuję Deacon Tom & Linda, Deacon Nick, Liz, Rita, Piotr, Nancy, Beth & Paul, Father Dave, John & Sue, chórom, Guitar Ensemble, Voices of Praise, chórom góralskim: Mali Ślebodni, Jawory, Mali Hyrni, lektorzy i

ministranci na pięknie przygotowaną liturgię jubileuszową. Holy Name Society podarowało piękny Jubileuszowy Kielich, który został pobłogosławiony przez Kardynała podczas Mszy Świętej. Będzie on używany przy szczególnych okazjach.

Serdecznie dziękuję organizacjom parafialnym, które wzięły udział w pięknej procesji z sztandarami: Holy Name Society, CCW, Klub Polski, Rycerze Kolumba, Program Nauczania Religii, Lovin Links, Fun Club, Prayer Shawl Ministry, Ochorna Życia. Bardzo gorąco dziękuję za obecność pośród nas vice-prezesowi Związku Podhalan w Ameryce Północnej Janowi Królowi wraz z przedstawicielami Kół Góralskich oraz Szkole Języka i Kultury Polskiej im. Zbigniewa Herberta.

Jestem pewien, że podobnie jak i jam, uważacie, że nasz kościół wygląda wspaniale! Dziękuję Mike'owi Lundbergowi i jego żonie Wendy oraz wszystkim, którzy z nimi pracowali. Chciałbym również podziękować firmie Zibi Printing za przygotowanie i donację pięknego banneru jubileuszowego, który jest w kościele oraz jubileuszowe logo, które widzicie ponad drzwiami wejściowymi do kościoła.

Bardzo dziękuję wszystkim, którzy wzięli udział w naszym Bankiecie Jubileuszowym w Sali Bankietowej Camelot.

Bardzo szczególne podziękowania dla Diakona Toma i Lindy, Bogumiły i Brigid. Dziękuję Nickowi i Maureen za udaną loterię. Wiem, że wiele osób chciało być z nami w niedzielne popołudnie, ale z różnych powodów nie mogło.

Bardzo wam wszystkim dziękuję.

Ta niedziela jest ostatnią niedzielą, kiedy Ksiądz Dave celebruje Eucharystię jako wikariusz parafii Najświętszego Serca. Od lipca rozpocznie pracę w innej parafii. Chciałbym podziękować ks. Davidowi za pięć lat spędzonych w naszej parafii, za gorliwą posługę kapłańską, odprawianie Mszy Świętych, za posługę sakramentalną, a zwłaszcza za sprawowanie sakramentu pojednania.

Księże Dawidzie – niech Bóg Ci błogosławi w nowej parafii. Życzenia powodzenia!

Jak wiecie, ksiądz Dave prosił, aby nie urządzać mu żadnego przyjęcia, dlatego proszę was przede wszystkim o wsparcie go modlitwą. Dziękuję Wam serdecznie.

„Podobnie jak kościół, który inspiruje – duch i ważność parafii tkwi nie w jej budynkach – choć mogą one być piękne – ale w każdej osobie, która była, jest lub będzie jej częścią”.

Kościół, parafia to więcej niż budynki. Parafia Najświętszego Serca to ludzie, którzy od 150 lat gromadzą się, aby budować, organizować, służyć i – w sposób szczególny, aby się modlić.

Parafia Najświętszego Serca w Palos Hills to Wy! Moi Bracia i Siostry, Wy jesteście częścią pięknej historii parafii Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa w Palos Hills!

Życzę wszystkim wspaniałego niedzielnego wypoczynku i wspaniałego tygodnia. Wspominam Was w moich codziennych modlitwach i proszę Was również o modlitwę za mnie. Niech Bóg wynagrodzi Wam każde dobro, które czynicie dla parafii Najświętszego Serca.

Z modlitwą, Ks. Jacek

Don’t forget to return the Baby Bottles NEXT WEEKEND, Father’s Day, June 18th & 19th.

With Heartfelt Appreciation! The Sacred Heart Respect Life Committee.

FUND FOR RETIRED PRIESTS SECOND COLLECTION

THIS WEEKEND JUNE 11 & 12, 2022

The success of this campaign means more than words can express to ailing, elderly priests who sometimes must wonder if they are forgotten.

Considering all the causes you are asked to support, we have been pleasantly surprised by the results of the first two yearly appeals for our retired priests. We underestimated how much a priest must have meant to you throughout your life and how much their extended “tour of duty” during this priest shortage has served the life of the Church especially on weekends or when you need a priest. A second collection will be taken THIS weekend to help support the needs of the retired priests of the Archdiocese of Chicago. The money raised from this collection will be used to supplement the health care, prescription drug coverage and nursing home care for the priests who, even in their retirement, continue to aid and inspire the people they serve. We Need Each Other Now!

The Knights of Columbus would like to thank those people who donated to our blood drive held May 26th.

Your valuable donations contributed to 17 donations. These were divided into red cells, plasma, and platelets which will be transfused to 51 people.

Versiti was impressed with our turn out.

Future plans to set up another Blood Drive are being worked on.

Let’s continue to Celebrate!
