article.
Our 6 – 8 graders had the opportunity to watch history on
Thursday morning as they watched Pope Francis address to the
joint meeting of Congress. They felt his message was very
important – there was particular interest in the Pope’s message
on the environment and global warning. There was some
surprise that the leader of the Catholic Church would be as well
versed on the subject as Pope Francis was. They are used to the
Pope being concerned with religious issues and church
doctrine.
Dining Out Night – Please support our Potbelly Night this
Wednesday, September 30 from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. Dine-In
or Carry-out! Remember 25% of your total bill will

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:
Este fin de semana estaremos celebrando a los hombres estudiando para servir como sacerdotes
en la Arquidiócesis de Chicago. En esta ocasión, honramos el ministerio de los muchos sacerdotes
que les sirven fielmente cada día, así como aquellos que se preparan para servirle con caridad en el
futuro. De antemano, gracias por su apoyo generoso a estos hombres.
Nuestros seminaristas son consientes de su sacrificio, mediante la preparación de una vida de servicio. Ellos están dispuestos a renunciar a tener sus propias familias con el fin de hacer de nosotros
y el resto de la comunidad católica su familia. Actualmente, tenemos como bendición a 78 hombres
en formación sacerdotal y otros 60 jóvenes de la edad de secundaria en nuestro programa de discernimiento pre-seminario, Quigley Scholars. Estos 138 hombres son los futuros sacerdotes de
nuestras parroquias.
Tal vez conozcan de algunos de estos hombres, y al igual que yo, han sido inspirados por su amor
a la Iglesia y el generoso entusiasmo que a ellos les motiva a responder al llamado a servir como
pastores de nuestro pueblo. Amamos a nuestros seminaristas por una muy buena razón: ellos hacen surgir lo mejor de nosotros. Ellos necesitan y merecen nuestras oraciones y nuestro apoyo financiero, ya que ellos están discerniendo el renunciar a todo por el Reino de Dios y por servir al
pueblo de Dios.
Es debido a este compromiso que les pido su ayuda a contribuir generosamente a la colecta especial para el fondo de educación de seminarista que será este fin de semana. Sin importar el tamaño
de su regalo, les asegurar que estos jóvenes son merecedores de tan gran generosidad. Todos los
fondos recaudados serán utilizados únicamente para la formación de nuevos sacerdotes para la Arquidiócesis de Chicago. En caso de que le resulte más conveniente, no dude en hacer su regalo en
línea a través de nuestro sitio de internet www.archchicago.org/seminarianfund.
De antemano les doy las gracias por su compromiso. Este año, el cual marca mi 40 aniversario de
ordenación como sacerdote, os comprometo a usted y a su familia mis oraciones diarias. Les pido
lo mismo a cambio.
Sinceramente suyo en Cristo,
Reverendísimo Blase J. Cupich
Arzobispo de Chicago
Wrzesień 2015 roku.
Drodzy Bracia i Siostry w Chrystusie,
Kierujemy dzisiaj naszą uwagę w szczególności ku mężczyznom studiującym w
seminarium duchownym tutejszej Archidiecezji. Z tej okazji honorujemy wszystkich kapłanów,
którzy z takim poświęceniem codziennie Wam służą, jak również tych, którzy będą Wam służyć
w przyszłości. Bóg zapłać za hojne wsparcie, jakie okazujecie tym mężczyznom.
Nasi seminarzyści odpowiadają na Waszą dobroć, pilnie przygotowując się do służby.
Gotowi są opuścić własne rodziny po to, aby ich rodziną stali się wszyscy katolicy. Na chwilę
obecną, 78 mężczyzn odbywa formację wstępną przed święceniami, a dalszych 60 w wieku
licealnym zapisanych jest do programu Quigley Scholars, dzięki któremu rozeznają swoje
powołanie. To łącznie 138 przyszłych księży w naszych parafiach.
Być może, podobnie jak ja, znacie kogoś z tego grona. Mam nadzieję, że ich oddanie
Kościołowi oraz gorące pragnienie służenia Bogu i ludziom jest inspiracją także dla Was. Nasi
seminarzyści wyzwalają w nas to, co najlepsze – dlatego właśnie tak bardzo ich kochamy.
Gotowi są porzucić wszystko, aby służyć wiernym i Królestwu Bożemu. Potrzeba im więc
modlitewnego oraz finansowego wsparcia z naszej strony; w pełni na nie zasługują.
Właśnie ze względu na owo bezgraniczne poświęcenie ośmielam się dziś prosić Was o
hojny udział w specjalnej weekendowej zbiórce, z której dochód zasili fundusz edukacyjny
naszego seminarium. Niezależnie od wielkości Waszego datku, hojności dla tych kleryków nigdy
zbyt wiele. Cała zebrana w ten sposób suma zostanie przeznaczona na formację nowych
kapłanów dla Archidiecezji Chicago. Darowizny można również składać przez Internet, pod
adresem: www.archchicago.org/seminarianfund.
Z góry dziękuję za Wasze wsparcie. W tym roku przypada czterdziesta rocznica moich
święceń kapłańskich. Pamiętam o Was wszystkich w codziennej modlitwie i proszę o
wzajemność.
Szczerze Wam oddany w Chrystusie,
JEGO EKSCELENCJA NAJPRZEWIELEBNIEJSZY BLAISE J. CUPICH,
Metropolita Chicago

LADIES OF THE ROSARY
WELCOMES ALL WOMEN OF THE PARISH
TO BECOME NEW MEMBERS
The Ladies of the Rosary, a group of St. Joseph Parish
Women, get together on the first Tuesday of the month
from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. in Centennial (School) Hall,
5641 S. 73rd Ave.
Those women who are thinking of joining the group are
welcome to any meeting to check out the Ladies of the
Rosary. Members would be very happy to meet potential
new members.
The main function of the Ladies of the Rosary is to
provide both spiritual and financial support to St.
Joseph Church, St. Joseph School and the community.
The group raises funds in a fun way! Most of the funds
are generated from the annual Christmas party,
rummage sale and salad luncheon. Although there is
work involved, there is lots of laughter and everyone
works together.
The Ladies are then happy to donate money to St. Joseph
Church and School for maintenance, special repairs,
computers, books and more. Donating to the community
includes supporting veteran’s organizations, women in
prison, battered women and children, the homeless
through the annual coat drive and participating in the
Ladies of the Rosary mission project - the Wounded
Warrior Project.
In addition to the annual Christmas party and Salad
Luncheon, the Ladies have enjoyed trips to Drury Lane
and the Water Reclamation District. Their meetings
feature interesting speakers such as a serice dog
trainer, a member of the Soukal Florist team, a historian
talking about Resurrection Mary, and City Clerk office
representative.
More speakers are planned for the upcoming year,
including a hospice representative explaining the
benefits of hospice care, and more gardening tips form
Soukal Florist. There is something fun planned for every
meeting, a speaker, bunco game, or the yearly birthday
party.
All women of the parish should mark their calendars for
Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 6:30 p.m., the next meeting of the
Ladies of the Rosary. They are also invited to bring a
friend and make lots of new friends!
