many social services and services that are of need to
ministries to parishes. Our parish goal for the appeal is
$10,561.00. When our parish reaches its goal, 100% of the
additional funds received will be returned to us for use in
our parish. Please prayerfully consider a pledge to the 2015
Annual Catholic Appeal. If you received your pledge form in

sent information about the electronic giving (GIVE
CENTRAL) where you can set up automatic withdrawals and
make your contribution to our parish on a regular basis.
You have full control on how much and how often you would
like to make the donation. It will make it easier for you, you
do not have to worry about writing checks or having cash
available and you can save on postage. If you need help
signing up, please contact us. We will also have weekends
where you can sign up in the lobby of the church. Please
respond as soon as you can. We also hope to set up this ear,
on our web-site for you to make a donation to the church.

Tijekom korizme svatko od nas trebao bi se

Klub Poljica priređuje Bakalar Večeru 7. ožujka u

Dragi Župljani, Svjesni smo činjenice da su s
vremenom doprinosi u župnu blagajnu opali.
Nadbiskupija nas je zamolila da vas upoznamo s
novim načinom dostavljanja vaše pomoći župi. Primili
ste sve potrebne informacija o tzv. elektroničnom
dostavljanju milostinje (GIVE CENTRAL). Vi ćete sa
svojom bankom moći urediti da ona s vašeg
bankovnog računa redovno dostavlja vaš nedjeljni
dar župi. Nad tim ćete imati potpunu kontrolu koliko
i kako često ćete dati milodar. Time ćemo vam
olakšati, nećete se morati brinuti oko pisanja čekova,
niti se brinuti o novcu u gotovini, imate li ga dovoljno
uza se ili nemate. A oni koji inače šalju svoj dar
poštom, uštedjet će na poštarini. Ako imate problema
upisati se nazovite župni ured. Imat ćemo osobe na
ulazu crkve koje vam mogu pomoć. Nadamo se da
ćemo u idućoj godini i preko župne ‘’web stranice’’
omogućiti vam dostavljanje milostinje župi. Ovo će i
za župu biti velika olakšica, jer će nova stizati
redovno u njenu riznicu.
Pozivamo Hrvatsku mladež od 16 godina do 30 na
MLADIFEST od 3. do 5. srpnja u Norvalu Kanada
Hrvatsko Franjevačko Središte. Jeste li spremni
pokušati nešto drugo kako bi podijelili i proslavili
svoju vjeru u Isusa Krista. U planu imamo
organizirat autobus Čikaški Hrvatski župa. Upisnicu
možete nabavit u župnom uredu. Uplata je 100 CAD.
Morate uplatit do 1. travnja.
Ako netko od vas treba potvrdu za porez, u vezi
donacije za crkvu možete slobodno javiti u naš
ured ili upisati svoje ime na listu koja se nalazi na
ulazu crkvu.
Brzo započinje 2015 ARCHDIOCESAN ANNUAL
CATHOLIC APPEAL. Obraćenje Nadbiskupije u
Chicagu katolicima za novčanu pomoć. Vaša
pomoć pomaže katolički odgoj i programe za
sirotinju u nadbiskupiji. Nadbiskupija je odredila
iznos koji svaka župa treba ostvariti. Visina iznosa
koji trebamo prikupiti za naše župu je $10,561.00.
Ako prikupimo više od toga, župa će dobiti povrat
novca od 100% ukupljenoga. Ako ste dobili poštom
za Appeal, možete vratit vaš dar poštom ili
donesite iduće Nedjelje u crkvu. Oni koji nisu
dobili poštom možete ispunit kartu u crkvi i 15.

Kako se uvjeriti da me
Bog ipak Voli?
Ako je način suodnosa i otvorenosti drugima, spolnost ima za
svoj nutarnji cilj—ljubav. Još točnije: ljubav kao darivanje i prihvaćanje, kao davanje i primanje.
ŽUPNIKOVA Odnos između muškarca i žene u
PORUKA
svojoj je biti odnos ljubavi. Kada se
takva ljubav ostvaruje u ženidbi, u
braku, onda sebedarje preko tijela izriče komplementarnost
i cjelovitost dara.
Bračna ljubav stoga postaje snagom koja obogaćuje
osobe i daje im rasti te istodobno pridonosi gajenju civilizacije ljubavi. Kada, tomu nasuprot, nedostaje smisao i značenje dara u spolnosti, tada ulazi ‘’civilizacija stvari’’ a ne
‘’osoba’’, civilizacija u kojoj se osobe rabe kao što se rabe
predmeti Unutar civilizacije uživanja žena može postati
predmetom za muškarca a djeca za roditelje zapreka. No,
spolnost je i vrelo radosti i zadovoljstva: ‘Čini kojima se
supruzi međusobno u čistoj intimnosti sjedinjuju jesu časni
i dostojni. Kad se vrše na doista ljudski način, izražavaju i
produbljuju međusobno darivanje, kojim su supruzi, u radosnoj zahvalnosti, uzajamno obogaćuju… Sam Stvoritelj… je
odredio da u tom posvemašnjem fizičkom darivanju supružnici osjećaju užitak i zadovoljstvo tijela i duha. Supružnici,
dakle, ne čine ništa zlo tražeći taj užitak i uživajući u njemu
Oni prihvaćaju sve što im je Stvoritelj namijenio. Ipak, supružnici moraju znati držati se granica prave umjerenosti’’,
uči Katekizam, koji navodi da se sjedinjenjem supružnika
ostvaruje dvostruki cilj ženidbe. Na prvome mjestu navodi
dobro samih supružnika, na istoj razini je otvorenost novom životu.
Ako ste pred Bogom sigurni da ste zahtjev odgovornog
roditeljstva ispunili, onda potražite one oblike uzajamne
bračne nježnosti u kojima nećete vi morati stvarati umjetne
zapreke mogućem novom život. Ispovjednik Vam je ispravno rekao da je grijeh služiti se kondomima, ali nije imao
pravo biti grub da se vi—kako pišete ‘ ‘’više ne osjećate
dobro’’ jer Bog Vas, ako i pogriješite, ipak neizmjerno voli.

Courtship, not cohabitation,
best prepares for marriage
(by Fr. John Mayo)
Q. What does the Church teach about
unmarried couples living together?
Cohabitation, or living together, is the
relationship between a man and a woman
who live in the same household and are
sexually active. The U.S. Census Bureau
reported recently that the number of
cohabiting couples climbed last year from
6.7 million in 2009 to 7.5 million in 2010.
Couples who cohabitate often cite wanting a testing
period before they are married, wanting to save money on
living expenses and being happier than if living separately.
The Church, as a good mother, hears this desire from
her children. At the same time she hears this desire, she
must balance it against the teachings of Christ and what has
tended to bring true happiness among the saints. Thus, as
sensible as these reasons may seem, the Church does not
see them or any other reason as a basis under which
couples may morally cohabitate.
When a couple cohabitates, they form a union that has little or
no commitment on either's part. As easily as they moved in
together can they split apart. Studies have shown that couples who
cohabitate before marriage divorce at a 50-percent higher rate than
non-cohabiting couples, report less satisfaction in their marriage
and experience greater issues in communicating with one another.
Cohabitation misses what Christian marriage truly is and
how it can help the couple to live together. Marriage is not just
about a ceremony to express the couple’s commitment to one
another. Rather, a person comes to marriage out of a desire to
love, which God has placed on his or her heart. In the Sacrament of
Marriage, God grants an increase to the love the couple has
for themselves and for one another. He makes it more like
His love; total, complete, embracing the whole person and
ready to forgive.
The false expectation cohabiting couples live under also
extends to sex. When a couple engages in the marital act, they
are saying to one another that they are giving themselves to the
other totally, completely and irrevocably. Also, the couple says
to one another, and to God, that they are open to any new life
that may result from their union. Cohabiting couples fail to meet
this language the marital act proposes.
The best preparation for marriage is not cohabitation, but
courtship. That is, for a couple to continue to go out
frequently and spend time with one another, developing and
deepening their union with one another, their communication
and their love for one another. Such a preparation will leave
them well disposed on their wedding day to
receive the graces God offers to them so that
they can live their marriage filled with love
and many blessed years.
