My dear family of St. Andrew the Apostle!
Prayer for Catholic Schools Week
Lord Jesus, Son of God, Thank you for the gift of Catholic education. Day after day, week after week,
you call us to follow you, and you give us many opportunities to grow and learn. Help us respond to the
gift of faith so that we may be recognized as your disciples. Amen. St. Andrew the Apostle, pray for us!
This Sunday begins National Catholic Schools Week, whose theme is “Catholic Schools: Communities of
Faith, Knowledge and Service.” Yes, schools are communities—small families in their own right, but also members
of the larger community of home, parish, church, city and nation. As they always have and will continue to do so,
across the country and here at St. Andrew, Catholic Schools evangelize — they are evangelizing communities, since
faith, knowledge and service are three measures by which any Catholic school can and should be judged.
Our School Advisory Council, or School Board, under the guidance of our Catholic Schools Office, has been
developing a BEST plan this year: a Business Executive Summary for Transformation Plan, which consists of three
sequential steps, namely (1) Vision, Value and Mission; (2) Strategic Objective, Goals and Activities; and (3) Culture
and Norms.
We are seeking to bring Transformation to five particular areas: Communication, Marketing, Enrollment,
Parent/Parish Involvement, and Third Source Funding in the School Budget. I am grateful and happy to report steady
and consistent progress in these areas with specific objectives within each of these five categories. Along with myself
and our principal, our School Advisory Council embraces these values as the foundation for a flourishing school: “We
believe quality Catholic education calls us to integrate Gospel teachings and values with everyday life; while believing
that all secular subjects need to be taught in the light of these values. These values are deeply rooted in the belief that
Jesus Christ is the reason for our school and our community lives out our faith expressing the virtues of prudence,
fortitude, charity, generosity, temperance, humility, and brotherly love. All, in communion with a strong sense of
hospitality and belonging in everything we do.”
St. Andrew the Apostle School is one of over 6,500 Catholic schools across the United States. Catholic
Schools demonstrate a remarkable success story in the history of America. Over 400 years after the first known
Catholic school opened in St. Augustine, Florida, our Catholic schools continue to be a gift to
the church and a gift to the nation and to us!
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Patroness of Catholic Schools in the U.S., pray for us!
St. Andrew the Apostle, pray for us!
In the loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Fr. Gregor

Good News! The roof projects are now all paid in full!!!
This past week, we received some final generous donations

Officer of the Diocese. Let me share with you a portion of
this letter: “I am delighted to inform you that St. Andrew
Parish has surpassed its 2015 Catholic Ministries Annual
Appeal goal… For the 2015 campaign, I am happy to say
that each Parish received a rebate equal to 65% of the funds
in excess of their Parish goal! Enclosed please find a check in
the amount $2,951.92” (the total donation for 2015 CMAA
was $78,853). From this CMAA rebate check, we finished
paying off the last $1,330! Alleluia! And Thank YOU ALL
for your wonderful generosity to the Diocesan CMAA last

2016 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES ANNUAL APPEAL
Please Participate! Your Gift Makes a Difference!
This week, you are asked to review the 2016 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA) tabloid that you received
with your bulletin today. The CMAA is much different than a one-time special collection. It is a pledge campaign
where you can make a one-time gift or pledge your gift over 10 months to support the good works of the diocese.
A gift to the CMAA will touch the lives of many in our diocese in a positive way. Each gift makes a difference!
Together, the gifts of many enable our diocese to deliver needed education, ministry and services to those who need it
most. As you take the time to review the tabloid and see all the work enabled by the CMAA, please reflect on God’s
gifts to you. He has given you all that you have. We were “Chosen by God’s Grace” and together we can give thanks
to Him for our blessings through a gift to the CMAA.
As you review the work enabled by your contribution to the CMAA, please reflect on God’s gifts to you. He has given
you all that you have. Your gifts to our parish, to the diocese, and to the work of the church throughout the world
should be given in gratitude for the continuing gifts that God gives you. God extends His mercy to us each day, and
you can be a part of “Extending God’s Mercy” to others through the CMAA.
If you received your pledge form in the mail, please complete it and mail it or bring it to Mass next weekend. For
those of you who have not received the mailing, we will conduct our Commitment/In-Pew Weekend process at all
Masses next weekend.
After our parish exceeds its CMAA goal of $72,995 in paid pledges, 65% of any additional funds are returned for use
in our parish.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration and generous response.

IV NIEDZIELA ZWYKŁA
Ks. Michał Twarużek
Marta Wysocki
KOMENTARZ LITURGICZNY NA CZWARTĄ NIEDZIELE ZWYKŁĄ
Gromadzimy się przy ołtarzu Jezusa Chrystusa, aby zrozumieć podstawową prawdę, że jedynym
Panem naszego życia, naszych nocy i dni, naszych powstań i zaśnięć jest Ten, który ukształtował
człowieka już w łonie matki. Często człowiek planuje swoją przyszłość na własny „rachunek”, bez
Boga, uzurpując sobie w ten sposób prawo do własnej reżyserii życia. Chrześcijanin odrzuca dzisiaj
Boga, Bóg nie jest mile widziany w życiu człowieka: w szkole, szpitalu, zakładach pracy. „Bóg jest
tam nie potrzebny” - tak uważa wielu ludzi, ponieważ Jego miejsce jest w Kościele. Również i my
często ulegamy takim poglądom. Zrzucamy Boga na margines ludzkiej egzystencji, lekceważymy
Jego naukę i Jego wolę, a liczą się tylko nasze interesy, które nie zawsze są zgodne z chrześcijańskimi
wartościami. Za to, że tak często Bóg nie jest na pierwszym miejscu w naszym życiu, przepraszajmy
Go teraz licząc na Jego Miłość, która „nie pamięta złego”.

Esta semana, se le pide revisar el tabloide de La Campaña
Anual para los Ministerios Catolicos de 2016 (CAMC) que
recibió con su boletín de hoy. La CAMC es mucho diferente de
una colección especial de una sola vez. Es un compromiso de
campaña donde puedes hacer una donación una sola vez o
comprometer un regalo durante 10 meses para apoyar las buenas obras de la diócesis.
Un regalo para la CAMC tocará la vida de muchos en nuestra
diócesis de una manera positiva. ¡Cada regalo hace una
deferencia! Juntos, los regalos de muchos permiten a nuestra
diócesis entregar servicios necesitados de educación,
Ministerio y a quienes lo necesitan más. Mientras que tomas el
tiempo para revisar el tabloide y ver todo el trabajo de la
CAMC, por favor reflexiona sobre el regalo de Dios. Él te ha
dado todo lo que tienes. Fuimos "Elegidos por la Gracia de
Dios" y juntos podemos dar gracias a El por nuestras
bendiciones a través de un regalo a la CAMC.
Mientras revisa el trabajo permitido por su contribución a la
CAMC, por favor reflexiona sobre los dones de Dios a ti. Él te
ha dado todo lo que tienes. Los regalos a nuestra parroquia a la
diócesis y al trabajo de la iglesia en todo el mundo se deben dar
en agradecimiento por los continuos regalos que Dios te da.
Dios extiende su misericordia para nosotros cada día, y tu
puede ser una parte de la "misericordia de Dios" a los demás
a través de la CAMC.
Si usted recibió el formulario de compromiso en el correo, favor de completarla y enviarla por correo o traer a la Misa del
próximo fin de semana. Para aquellos de ustedes que no han
recibido el envio, llevaremos a cabo nuestro Fin de Semana de
Compromiso/Solicitud en las Bancas en todas las Misas el
próximo fin de semana.
Después que nuestra parroquia exceda su meta de CAMC
$72,995 en promesas pagadas, el 65% de los fondos
adicionales son devueltos para uso en nuestra parroquia.
Gracias por su consideración orante y su respuesta generosa.

defeated St. Francis 36-27 to win the championship in the consolation bracket for the 8th grade boys silver
division at St. Mary Mokena tournament. That's not all. The 5/6 grade team also won the St. Joseph- Lockport
