As in the years past, we would like to regognize all the Grade School, High School or College Graduates of our parish. Especially this year, when our graduates will not be able to take part of graduation
ceremonies in their schools, it is very importnat that we, as a parish family, recognize them and let them know that we are proud of them and their achivements. If you have a child graduating this year, please email the information to the parish office by June 3rd. Include the name, school of the
graduate and his/ her achivements. Email address:
church@st-stanislaus.org. You may send the information via collection basket.
Wzorem ubiegłych lat, pragniemy wyróżnić młodych członków naszej parafii, którzy w tym roku kończą szkołę podstawową, średnią lub wyższą. Szczególnie w tym roku, kiedy nasi absolwenci nie będą mogli wziąć udziału w ceremonii ukończenia szkoły, bardzo ważne jest, abyśmy jako parafialna rodzina dali im znać, że jesteśmy z nich dumni i także rozpoznali ich osiągnięcia. Prosimy zawiadomić biuro parafialne wysyłając emaila do dnia 3 czerwca.
Informacje także można podać przez kolektę
niedzielną. Prosimy podać imię, nazwisko, ukończoną szkołę jak również szkolne osiągnięcia ucznia. Email adres: church@st-stanislaus.org.
Mimo że kościół jest zamknięty i nie możemy uczestniczyć we Mszach świętych i nabożeństwach, to jednak wiele ludzi okazjuje nam pomoc różnego rodzaju.
Na wstępie pragnę podziękować wszystkich parafianom za finansowe wspiereanie parafii w tym trudnym dla nas wszystkich okresie. Korzystając z tej okazji, dziękuję również tym, którzy poświęcaja swój czas i talent dla parafii. Dziękuję Panu Stanisławowi Wawiorko za przygotowanie kosiarki na koszenie trawy. Dziękuję Państwu Izabelli i Tomaszowi Kuziora za pomalowanie przejścia podziemnego między budynkiem szkoły i kościoła oraz łazienek szkolnych. Chociaż Mszę święte nie mogą być odprawiane publicznie, to udekorowaliśmy kościół na Wielkanoc jak co roku, więc pragnę podziękować
wszystkim ofiarodawcom, ktorzy złożyli ofiary na kwiaty do Grobu Pańskiego i na ołtarz Bożego Miłosierdzia. I tu dziękuję Pani Małgorzacie Borowskiej, Pani Irenie Slusarskiej, Pani Marzenie Steigerwald i Panu Marianowi Sapron, którzy udekorowali nasz kościół. Dziękuję Pani Irenie i Pani Marcie Drozd za dbanie o kwiaty. Dziękuję Państwu Danielowi i Mary Jaworowskim za naprawę progu przy wejściu do kościoła i zrobienie porządku przy wejściu do kościoła. Dziękuję Pani Irenie Nierzwickiej i Pani Agacie Gibale za pranie bielizny kielichowej i stuł ornatowych.
Serdeczne Bóg zapłać wszystkim za ofiarną pracę.
Niech Miłosierny Jezus obdarzy Was potrzebnymi łaskami.
O. Mieczysław
Although the church is closed, and we cannot participate in Masses publically, we have many people that offer their help in variety of work around the church. First of all, I would like to thank all parishioners for financial support during this difficult period for all of us. I like to take this opportunity, and thank those who have devoted their time and talent to the parish. Thank you to Stanisław Wawiorko, for preparing the mower machine for mowing the grass. Thank you to Izabella and Tomasz Kuziora, for painting the underground tunnel between the school and church buildings and school bathrooms.
Although, we cannot gather in church for Holy Masses, the church was decorated for Easter as always and I would like to thank all the donors who have offered money for flowers for the Jesus’s tomb and the Divine Mercy altar. I like to thank Mrs. Margaret Borowski, Mrs. Irena Slusarska, Mrs.
Marzena Steigerwald and Mr. Marian Sapron for decorating our church. Thank you to Mrs. Irena and Mrs.
Marta Drozd for taking care of flowers in church. Thank you to Daniel and Mary Jaworowski for repairing the threshold at the entrance to the church and cleaning ground on the front of the church. Thank you to Irena Nierzwicka and Agata Gibala for doing stoles and altar linen laundry.
God bless you all for your dedication and hard work.
Let Merciful Jesus give you much needed graces.
