Remember in Prayer
Our Stewardship
of Treasure
As members of the parish faith community, it is our
responsibility to remember both in concrete and
spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate with us each
week because they are ill. Those who are sick in turn,
remember all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings.

WORLD DAY OF SICK—THURSDAY, February 11
Christians, Muslims and Jews all share compassion and care for the sick, Francis says
Praying for a loved one’s health and healing, tenderly caring for them and asking very human ques ons about why people suffer
are experiences Chris ans, Muslims and Jews all share, Pope Francis has said.
In his message for the World Day of the Sick, which is celebrated on February 11, the Pope expressed his hope that the day of
prayer – and the en re Year of Mercy – would promote an encounter of people of different religions and lead to greater
understanding among them.
In his message, which was released this month, the Pope said: “Every hospital and nursing home can be a visible sign and se ng
in which to promote the culture of encounter and peace, where the experience of illness and suffering, along with professional
and fraternal assistance, helps to overcome every limita on and division.”
The main Catholic celebra on of the World Day of the Sick 2016 was scheduled for Nazareth, a city in Israel with a large Muslim
and Chris an popula on.
With the Holy Land hos ng the celebra on, Pope Francis chose the Gospel account of the wedding feast at Cana as the biblical
inspira on for his message, which looked at Mary’s concern for the wedding guests, the servants’ willingness to fill jars of water
and Jesus turning the water into wine.
“How much hope there is in that event for all of us,” the Pope wrote. “In Mary’s concern, we see reflected the tenderness of
God. This same tenderness is present in the lives of all those persons who a end the sick and understand their needs, even the
most impercep ble ones, because they look upon them with eyes
full of love.
“How many mes has a mother at the bedside of her sick child, or a
child caring for an elderly parent, or a grandchild concerned for a
grandparent, placed his or her prayer in the hands of Our Lady,” the
Pope wrote.
The miracle of changing water into wine is the work of Jesus, he
said. But “he wants to employ human assistance in performing this
miracle. He could have made the wine appear directly in the jars.
But he wants to rely upon human coopera on, and so he asks the
servants to fill them with water. How wonderful and pleasing to
God it is to be servants of others!”
When one is sick, especially when one is seriously ill, he said, it
naturally provokes a sense of crisis and gives rise to “ques ons that
dig deep”, the Pope wrote. “Our first response may at mes be one
of rebellion: why has this happened to me? We can feel desperate,
thinking that all is lost, that things no longer have meaning.”
But even when one’s faith in God is tested, he said, faith gives
people the strength to trust in God’s mercy and to “see how illness
can be the way to draw nearer to Jesus who walks at our side,
weighed down by the cross”.
Pope Francis prayed that God would grant Catholics the same
readiness to serve those in need that Mary showed at the wedding
in Cana, especially when those in need are sick.
“At mes this service can be ring and burdensome,” the Pope said.
“Yet we are certain that the Lord will surely turn our human efforts
into something divine. We too can be hands, arms and hearts which
help God to perform his miracles, so o en hidden.”

BAPTISM DURING LENT
One of the disciplines of Lent is
fas ng. As Catholics, we fast on
Ash Wednesday
and Good Friday. As individuals, we may
“give up” a food
or an ac vity for Lent. The Church
fasts even at liturgy: we omit the
Gloria and the singing of the
“Alleluia”. In this spirit of fas ng,
it is our custom at St. Ferdinand
to seal the bap smal font as a
reminder of the simplifica on
called for during the season. It
further points us to Easter, when
we all renew our bap smal promises and are sprinkled with
“bap smal water” blessed a the
most important liturgy of the
Church’s year, the Easter Vigil.
We, therefore, encourage parents
who seek the bap sm of their
infant in the upcoming months to
plan for a celebra on a er Easter
Sunday, rather than during Lent.
There is no be er me to celebrate Bap sm than within the
Easter Season. To schedule a
Bap sm, please call the Parish
Office at 622-5900. EX. 225
WITH GRATITUDE

Chicago. It was indeed an honor that St Ferdinand Church was the
place chosen to celebrate it. This year was also the 22nd year of this
novena of masses at St Ferdinand Parish. It was the Saturday evening
of December 19,2015, with the concerted collabora on of dedicated
individuals that this solemn, memorable celebra on happened. The
2015 Simbang Gabi Filipino Organizing Commi ee would like to extend the deepest
apprecia on to all,who in one way or the other,have shared in pu ng together this
beau ful Filipino tradi on of preparing for Christmas.

LENTEN PROJECT 2016
“But now faith, hope and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:13
Dear Parishioners and Friends of MOP,
As we have recently returned from our annual mission trip to Kenya and Uganda,
we would like to express our most hear elt gra tude to You for your generosity in
suppor ng the African missions! We are coming back with hearts filled with joy, as
we have witness goodness happening in many ways through the hands of the
sisters and brothers of the Missionaries of the Poor (MOP) thanks to your abundant love and generous support.
In Uganda, we were thrilled to see a well-established mission that serves 450 orphaned boys and girls in
the two houses. We were welcomed by a group of children playing trumpets, singing Christmas carols
and performing dances. Then, we joined the MOP brothers and sisters in their joyful service by tending
to the children, washing their clothes and cleaning the house. While the work at the mission is difficult
because of its nature, as well as the external condi ons such as high temperatures, the brothers and the
sisters never complain. In contrary, they serve the sick, the des tute and the abandoned with a smile
according to their mo o “Joyful Service with the Crucified Christ.” We no ced that the older children
were helping the younger and the disabled ones to get dressed, cleaned and fed. We were moved while
listening to the tes monies of the youth thanking their Chicago sponsors for making it possible for them
to con nue their educa on in high school and college. We were inspired listening to the voca on stories
of the brothers and sisters, who o en, at a very young age, and some mes facing numerous challenges,
decided to give their lives to Christ and to the poor.
In Kenya, we worked at the Good Shepherd School. The school, run by the MOP brothers, is a ended by 120 children ages 3-7
from the local slums. Here, children, who are o en neglected by their parents, receive their educa on, get school supplies and
school uniforms, as well as a warm meals and love from their teachers and the brothers. Their classrooms are simple and the
playground has only one structure to play on-an abounded vehicle with some car res, but
children o en return to school in the evening and during weekends because here, they feel
safe. It was upli ing to see the fruits of the Chicago support in the school: new school supplies,
new books, more nutri ous meals for children. In Kenya, we also visited a quarry where men,
women and children excavate and cut stone for a daily salary that o en does not exceed 1
USD. A er a prayer led by the MOP brothers, a meal sponsored by a Chicago donor, was
distributed to over 150 of workers. Many in the community have been touched by the loving
hands of the brothers: the elderly women who hang out by the school, the boys and the girls
who greet us as we walk through the slums back to the monastery, the workers who stop their
work at the mission to eat lunch prepared for them, the woman and the young boy who joined us for a mass in the morning…..This
very young Kenyan mission feels like a home where everyone belongs.
We want to con nue suppor ng the Missionaries of the Poor during this Extraordinary Year of Mercy and especially during Lent.
During all masses on Sunday, February 14th, we will have a short presenta on of our experiences from the mission trip. During
Lent, we will be se ng up “Trees of Hope” project through which you can support the Good Shepherd School in Kenya. The trees
with envelopes will be set up at the back of the church. You will be able to return the envelope with your dona on during the
regular collec on or turn it to the parish office. Your dona on of $ 20 dollars will allow the bothers to purchase the required
uniform for a child. The amount of $10 will guarantee a child shoes and a
backpack. Yearly tui on for school is $ 30. Books and supplies are $ 20 and the
food program is $ 60 per year. The total cost of the school program for one year
is $ 140 per child. Please support this project once again, without your help we
won’t be able to con nue this wonderful work.
The MOP brothers assure you of their con nued prayers in your inten on. May
God bless you abundantly for your generous support and your love for the poor!

WELCOME TO OUR PARISH COMMUNITY!
Praise be Jesus Christ!
My name is Marek Cembor
and currently I am studying in
the second year of theology
at Mundelein Seminary. I
came to the United States
three years ago, encouraged
by the Rector of Bishop
Abramowicz Program who was at that me visi ng Polish
seminaries and presen ng the needs of the Archdiocese of
Chicago. As there is s ll a great number of seminarians and
priests in Poland, I was allowed to transfer to Chicago. My
first year here I spent on learning English and ge ng familiar
with the American culture. When finally I managed to pass
the required language exam, I was accepted to con nue my
forma on to priesthood in Mundelein. Even though I do not
have any family in the United States, I can feel here like
home, thanks to kind, wonderful people I meet every day. I
look forward to my pastoral internship at St. Ferdinand

WIELKOPOSTNA INICJATYWA 2016
„Tak więc trwają wiara, nadzieja, miłość- te trzy: z nich zaś największa jest Miłość.”
(1 Kor 1-13)
Drodzy Parafianie oraz Przyjaciele MOP,
W Styczniu wróciliśmy z wyjazdu misyjnego do Kenii i Ugandy. Pragniemy złożyć Wam,
serdeczne podziękowania, za Wasze pełne hojności wsparcie misji w Afryce! Wracamy
z sercami wypełnionymi radością, ponieważ byliśmy świadkami dobra, które działo się
na naszych oczach na wiele sposobów, przez ręce Misjonarzy Ubogich (MOP) a dzięki Waszemu wsparciu i dzięki Waszej miłości
do ubogich.
W Ugandzie cieszyliśmy się widokiem dobrze działającej misji, która służy 450 osieroconym chłopcom
i dziewczętom zamieszkującym dwa domy. Zostaliśmy przywitani przez dzieci, które zagrały dla nas na
trąbkach, zaśpiewały kolędy i wykonały wykreowane przez siebie tańce . Później przyłączyliśmy się do
pracy sióstr i braci MOP opiekując się dziećmi, piorąc oraz sprzątając. Chociaż praca na misji jest
ciężka, między innymi z powodu wysokich temperatur, bracia i siostry MOP nigdy nie narzekają.
Wręcz przeciwnie, wykonują swoją pracę służąc chorym, oraz opuszczonym z uśmiechem, wedle
mo a „radosna służba z Chrystusem ukrzyżowanym”. Zauważyliśmy, że na misji starsze dzieci
pomagają młodszym i niepełnosprawnym przy ubieraniu, karmieniu oraz myciu. Byliśmy poruszeni
słuchając historii młodzieży, która dziękowała sponsorom z Chicago za umożliwienie im kontynuacji
nauki w szkole średniej i na studiach wyższych. Inspirowały nas opowiadania o odkrywaniu powołania
opowiadane przez braci i siostry, którzy, często w bardzo młodym wieku, oraz na przekór wielu
przeszkodom, zdecydowali się oddać swoje życie Bogu i ubogim.
W Kenii pracowalismy w szkole Dobrego Pasterza. Do szkoły prowadzonej przez braci uczęszcza 120 dzieci w wieku od 3-7 lat ze
slamsów. Tutaj dzieci, często zaniedbane przez swoich rodziców, otrzymują edukację, przybory szkolne, mundurek,buty, ciepłe
posiłki oraz miłość nauczycieli i braci. Chociaż klasy są bardzo ubogie a jedyną atrakcją placu zabaw jest wrak porzuconego
pojazdu i kilka opon, dzieci często powracają na teren szkoły po południu oraz w weekendy, ponieważ tutaj czują się bezpieczne.
Z radością patrzyliśmy na owoce donacji z Chicago: nowe przybory szkolne i książki,
nowe mundurki oraz wzbogacone posiłki da dzieci.
W Kenii odwiedziliśmy także kamieniołom, gdzie kobiety, mężczyźni oraz dzieci
wydobywają i kruszą kamień za dzienne wynagrodzenie, które często nie przekracza
jednego dolara. Po modlitwie prowadzonej przez braci, rozdany został posiłek
sponsorowany przez Chicagowskich darczyńców ponad 150 osobowej grupie
robotników. Wiele osób z lokalnej społeczności doświadcza miłości braci: starsze
kobiety które przebywaja na terenie szkoły, młodzi ludzie, którzy pozdrawiają nas kiedy
idziemy przez slamsy, pracownicy misji, którzy zasiadają do posiłku, kobieta oraz młody
chłopak, którzy przyszli do kaplicy na poranną mszę świętą…Ta ciągle jeszcze bardzo
młoda Kenijska misja wydaje się być domem, w którym każdy ma swoje miejsce i do
którego każdy może przyjść.
Pragniemy kontynuować naszą pomoc misjonarzom MOP, szczególnie podczas Nadzwyczajnego Roku Miłosierdzia. W niedzielę
14 lutego, podczas każdej mszy świętej wolontariusze opowiadać będą o swoim doświadczeniu pobytu na misjach. Podczas

"Ojczyzna jest nasza matką ziemską.
Polska jest matka szczególną.
Niełatwe są jej dzieje, zwłaszcza na przestrzeni ostatnich stuleci.
Jest matka, która wiele przecierpiała i wciaż na nowo cierpi. Dlatego też ma
prawo do miłości szczególnej"...

Nazywam się Marek Cembor i
obecnie jestem klerykiem drugiego
roku teologii. Do Stanów
Zjednoczonych przeleciałem trzy lata
temu, kiedy to ówczesny Rektor
Seminarium Biskupa Abramowicza
odwiedzał polskie seminaria
zachęcając kleryków do
kontynuowania formacji do
kapłaństwa w Archidiecezji Chicago.
Pierwszy rok po przyjeździe
spędziłem głównie na nauce języka i
poznawaniu amerykańskiej kultury.
Gdy wreszcie udało mi się zdać
wymagany egzamin z angielskiego,
zostałem przyjęty do w seminarium
w Mundelein. Mimo że w Stanach
nie mam żadnej rodziny, to właśnie
dzięki licznej i bardzo życzliwej
Polonii czuję się tutaj jak w domu.
Dlatego też jestem bardzo
wdzięczny, że moją praktykę będę
mógł odbywać właśnie w parafii św.
Ferdynanda.
Z modlitwą,

ON NOT BEING AFRAID, IN POLISH —
My home parish--St. Constance, on Chicago’s northwest side--has
a vibrant Polish community. This is not surprising, given that the
church was founded a hundred years ago to serve the large Polish
popula on at the me. But my wife and I didn’t know any of this
when we joined in the 1980’s, which explains why we were both
confused when we a ended a Sunday morning Mass back then
and wondered what everybody was saying. As we got more and
more involved with the place, I told Gail that we should learn
conversa onal Polish. Yeah. That never happened. In fact, I’ve
joked since then that I know only two things in Polish: Dziękuję
(Thank you), and, because I got dra ed once to hand out
Communion at a Polish Mass: Ciało Chrystusa (Body of Christ). But
today’s Gospel reminds me that I actually know a third Polish
phrase (and this one is the most ingrained in me): Nie bój się (Do
not be afraid).
My wife knows it, too, because I’ve said it to her enough over the
years. I learned it from a guy at work. Chester passed away long
ago, but he used to be the maintainance guy at my old work
locale. He was a character, Chester--the kind of guy who might not
last long in today’s more bu oned-up corporate environment--but
we always had a good rapport, and my life is be er for having
known him. Anyway, Chester was changing a fluorescent tube
pre y much directly over my desk years ago, and he told me I was
OK--that I didn’t have to move--as he opened up his ladder right
next to me. I nodded and kept on working, but with all of the fumbling going on overhead, I asked him if he was sure I was safe

si ng where I was si ng. That’s when he said it: Nie bój się. Do
not be afraid. Chester said it to me several more mes, too, in
different contexts, reinforcing my recall. I hope the words never
leave me.
I read somewhere once that the Bible has 365 references to not
being fearful or afraid. You know. One for every day of the year. I
don’t know about that, but I know that Jesus tells us certainly
several mes in the Scriptures to not be afraid, to live lives of faith
rather than lives of despair. Today’s Gospel is an example. Here,
Jesus directs Simon to “Put out into deep water and lower your
nets for a catch.” Simon at first sounds red and exasperated, but
in the end complies: “Master, we have worked hard all night and
have caught nothing, but at your command, I will lower the nets.”
When he does, and when the catch is so great that it fills two
boats to the point of sinking, Simon falls before Jesus and says,
“Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.” Proximity to
Godliness has that effect on people. Look at Isaiah in the first
reading (“Woe is me”) and at Paul in the second reading (I am…
not fit to be called an apostle”). Personally, I think a li le
trembling before the King of the Universe is a good thing. But only
to make us appreciate the awesome goodness we’re involved
with, not to paralyze us. Perhaps this is why we get the Fear not
message so many mes in the Book. Perhaps, also, this had
something to do with Chester’s direc on to me over and over and
over again. Nie bój się. Do not be afraid
