Page 2 St. Lambert Parish 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time Our pastor, Father Simon is retiring and will be leaving us by the end of the month. As much as we would like to send him off in a manner that expresses how much we care, what he has meant to us, and how much we will miss him, he has requested that we do something short and simple. So, on the weekend of Father's Day (how appropriate is that) following every Holy Mass (including the Saturday Vigil Holy Mass), we are invited to go downstairs to Trainor Hall and enjoy some coffee and cupcakes with him. At that time you will be able to show your appreciation in a more personal and tangible way. However, in order to accommodate parking and getting ready for the next Holy Mass, we ask that you do not remain past 30 MINUTES. Donations of food will be accepted as long as they are FINGER FOOD.

Thank you!! June 13, 2021 Proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord Page 3 This Week-end! Catholic Charities in Des Plaines offers free suppers to the community every Tuesday and Thursday evening of the year. We have a number of open dates starting in July, 2021 for which we’re seeking generous supper sponsors. Sponsorship involves either ordering and covering the cost of the food, typically ordered from a restaurant, or reimbursing us for ordering food ourselves. Sponsors also are welcome to provide volunteers here at 1717 E. Rand Rd., Des Plaines, to help package and distribute the suppers. Due to COVID-19, we have seen an increase in the number of clients who come to our suppers. We ask that sponsors provide enough meals to feed 120 clients. We can offer suggestions on restaurants to contract with. Costs typically range from $250 to $600. If you have questions or wish to discuss this further, please contact me or Adriana Kelly, the North regional director 847-376-2121, [email protected] or Rose Marie Lesniak-Mendez, the Northwest regional director 847-376-2118, [email protected].

Second Collection June 26/27 June 13, 2021 Proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord Page 5 Saint Albert Chmielowski - June 14 (August 20, 1845 – December 25, 1916) Saint Albert Chmielowski’s Story Born in Igolomia near Kraków as the eldest of four children in a wealthy family, he was christened Adam. During the 1864 revolt against Czar Alexander III, Adam’s wounds forced the amputation of his left leg. His great talent for painting led to studies in Warsaw, Munich, and Paris. Adam returned to Kraków and became a Secular Franciscan. In 1888, when he founded the Brothers of the Third Order of Saint Francis, Servants to the Poor, he took the name Albert. They worked primarily with the homeless, depending completely on alms while serving the needy regardless of age, religion, or politics. A community of Albertine sisters was established later. Pope John Paul II beatified Albert in 1983, and canonized him six years later. His liturgical feast is celebrated on June 17. Reflection Reflecting on his own priestly vocation, Pope John Paul II wrote in 1996 that Brother Albert had played a role in its formation “because I found in him a real spiritual support and example in leaving behind the world of art, literature, and the theater, and in making the radical choice of a vocation to the priesthood” (Gift and Mystery: On the Fiftieth Anniversary of My Priestly Ordination). As a young priest, Karol Wojtyla repaid his debt of gratitude by writing The Brother of Our God, a play about Brother Albert’s life.

  • Confirmation
    CONFIRMATION December 1, 2020 Dear Parents and Students, You have elected to register your son/daughter for the St. Agnes Christian Formation program this year. When registering your son/daughter it is stated that our Confirmation program is a two-year program. This program challenges him or her to grow in his or her understanding of the Catholic faith and his or her personal relationship with God. There are several points to make you aware of in preparation for Confirmation (which starts in 8th grade with the student receiving the Sacrament with the completion of 9th grade studies) (due to pandemic this school year completion of 10th grade)). Successful completion of the curriculum includes once a month catechesis, service to others, and spending time with God in prayer. The greatest form of prayer is the celebration of the Mass. As Catholics, we are encouraged to attend weekly Mass in order to recognize God’s love more fully in the Word and Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. While the pandemic poses a particular challenge at this time, students and their families are highly encouraged to either attend weekly Mass in person (Precautions are in place to ensure everyone’s safety) or to seek out an online Mass to encourage growth in love for Christ in preparation for Confirmation. Below is a list of other expectations. Remember, these “assignments” are designed to support our students in their desire to know, love, and serve our wonderful God while helping to prepare them for the reception of the Sacrament. This process for being Confirmed in the Spirit is a commitment from the parish, support from parents, and a commitment from the student that wishes to be Confirmed.

  • December 2020
    Volume 9 Issue 2 December 2020 Padre Pio Fraternity Brothers and Sisters of St. Francis Region Fraternity On Christmas Day we are reminded that God, through the Incarnation, chose to live in fraternity with all of us, as unworthy as we may be. As Secular Franciscans we are called to imitate Our Lord, in what ways we can, through our fraternity with one another. The COVID-19 epidemic has, through most of 2020, been a disruption to our meeting one another face-to-face, and shall continue to be so on December 25. But Christ’s fraternity with us had also been met by many challenges, without His desire for such bonds having ever been dulled, and we remain called, as always, to imitate Him. Although we will continue resorting to phone calls and Zoom meetings, rather than hugging and sitting at tables with one another, for some months more, the bonds of that fraternity which began on Christmas Day, an event which can never be undone, very much remain. We will always have one another to call our brothers and sisters, no matter what challenges shape our world. We still have one another to wish a very Merry Christmas! Page | 1 Volume 9 Issue 2 December 2020 Holy Father’s Intentions for December – Council Members For a Life of Prayer Spiritual Assistant: We pray that our personal relationship with Jesus Christ Almost there! be nourished by the Word of God and a life of prayer.

Podchorazych 2; 30-084 Krakow e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRCT: The study presents pilgrimage sites located in environmentally valuable areas – the areas subject to two forms of nature protection in Poland, i.e. national parks and natural landscape parks. The purpose of the paper is to present, in quantitative terms, shrines in the protected areas of Poland and to analyse the scale and forms of tourism relating to these sites. The subject of the research includes only shrines of the Roman Catholic Church. A descriptive-analytic method, a dynamic-com- parative method, as well as statistical methods were used to present the study results. Over 70 of more than 830 shrines that operate in Poland nowadays are located in areas of nature protected by legislation. At present, in the area of nine Polish national parks, there are twelve shrines and pilgrimage sites that are frequently visited by pilgrims and tourists traveling for religious or reli- gious and cognitive reasons. Nowadays, in the area of Polish natural landscape parks (with buffer zones), there are more than 60 shrines.

Kalisch, OP and seek the embrace of the Father. The Lord Jesus himself had to slip away in the early hours of the day to make time for his own conversation with the Father. When the disciples struggled to perform the duties Director of Chaplains and Spiritual Development expected of them and were straining under the spiritual burdens before them, Jesus reminded “things like these only come out by fasting and prayer” (cf. Mk 9:29). Many men seek to join the Knights because of the fraternal support and Catholic camaraderie it offers on the local level. Men usually grow close by doing things together. growing from the shared experience of serving the Church and community, good men become better Catholics. Others are equally attracted by the Order’s insurance program, which not only offers families financial protection, but also promises sound ethical investing, solid advice and the opportunity to reinvest in the Catholic Church through corporate donations made possible by the profits of the K of C.
