Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Fulfilling God’s will quietly” — this is
the motto of my priestly ministry.
I have been fascinated with the army
uniform and the cassock since my
childhood. I was born in the little town
of Blachownia located near
Czêstochowa. I was both an altar server and a Boy Scout when I was 8 years
old. I had an interest, then, in history
and biology. I went to high school in Czêstochowa. While in
high school I was already a lector at Mass and a scout master
for my troop. At that time I began walking to Jasna Gora to
visit the miraculous image of St. Mary of Czêstochowa. I was
also a member of a youth group “Life-Light” and I sang in a
church choir “Vexilla Dei.”
After graduating from high school, I studied history and electro-cardiology at the University. I received diplomas for both.
While I was a student, I began hiking in the Polish mountains and it soon became my passion. To this day, the only
mountains I have not yet visited are Bieszczady. Photography
and bicycle riding are also among my interests. My longest
and furthest trip on a bicycle was from Czêstochowa to an
Italian town, Rimini. We traveled 2000 km (1250 miles)
though the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Slovenia.
The trip took us a month.
In 1992 I began my studies at the Major Seminary of
Czêstochowa and I was ordained 6 years later on May 28,
1998 at Holy Family Cathedral in Czêstochowa. I worked as
an associate in three parishes and then for 3 years, I was an
editor of the Catholic magazine “Niedziela.” During that time
I earned a degree in journalism. My interest in journalism
began when I was the author of our scout bulletin, then was
nurtured while in the seminary where I wrote for two major
seminarian newspapers “Nasze ¿ycie” and “Nikodem.”
Now I am here in Chicago, in the parish of St. Ferdinand. I
hope to minister to the Polish people, and together, we may
grow in the light of our Lord.

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. We
experience many blessings because of their remembering
us. And so ... please remember in your prayers:

We have experienced declining Church contributions throughout the summer months; the last two weekends were our
lowest regular offertory collections in over five years. There is obviously reason for great concern in the area of our
parish stewardship. Usually during the summer weeks we experience a decline of ten to fifteen percent from our weekly
goal. This past year we consistently fell short of our goal and this summer the collections have been down 23% since
Mother’s Day weekend (down 33% the last two Sundays). We are hopeful that collections will increase during
September once the vacation season ends. Please remember to “make-up” your regular weekly commitment to God
during the coming weeks. We truly appreciate when you do so, and your continued generosity is vital to the future of our
parish ministries. Thank you for all that you do in support of the mission of St. Ferdinand Church.

“Cicho Bosk¹ spe³niaæ wolê” - to moje has³o kap³añskiego ¿ycia. Od najm³odszych
lat fascynowa³ mnie mundur wojskowy i sutanna. A urodzi³em siê w ma³ym
miasteczku- Blachownia, le¿¹cym blisko Czêstochowy. Ju¿ w wieku 8 lat by³em
ministrantem i harcerzem, w dru¿ynie kultywuj¹cej tradycje Pu³ku 4 U³anów
Zaniemeñskich. A poza tym interesowa³a mnie historia i biologia. W œredniej szkole,
do której uczêszcza³em w Czêstochowie, zosta³em lektorem i podharcmistrzem
w mojej dru¿ynie. Zacz¹³ siê wtedy dla mnie czas czêstego wêdrowania na Jasn¹
Górê przed cudowny obraz Matki Boskiej Czêstochowskiej. Jednoczeœnie nale¿a³em
do m³odzie¿owej grupy, Ruchu Œwiat³o- ¯ycie i œpiewa³em w parafialnym zespole
“Vexilla Dei”. Po maturze rozpocz¹³em studia na kierunku historii i elektroradiologii, które ukoñczy³em dyplomami. Bêd¹c studentem polubi³em wêdrówki po
polskich górach. Do dziœ nie by³em tylko w Bieszczadach. Moim kolejnym zainteresowaniem jest fotografika i jazda na rowerze. Moja najd³u¿sza i najdalsza wyprawa to podró¿ z Czêstochowy
do w³oskiego Rimini, przez Czechy, S³owacjê, Austriê i S³oweniê. Przejechaliœmy wówczas 2000 kilometrów
w ci¹gu miesi¹ca. W 1992 roku wst¹pi³em do Wy¿szego Seminarium Duchownego Archidiecezji
Czêstochowskiej. I po 6 latach, 30 maja 1998 roku w Archikatedrze Œwiêtej Rodziny w Czêstochowie
przyj¹³em œwiêcenie kap³añskie. Jako wikariusz pracowa³em najpierw w diecezjalnym Sankutuarium Matki
Bo¿ej Ró¿añcowej w Mrzyg³odzie, a nastêpnie w dwóch parafiach w Czêstochowie. Nastêpnie przez 3 lata
pracowa³em jako redaktor Tygodnika Katolickiego Niedziela. W tym czasie ukoñczy³em podyplomowe studia dziennikarskie. Zreszt¹ dziennikarstwem interesowa³em siê od dawna, wydawa³em pisemko dla dru¿yny
harcerskiej, potem hufca i wreszcie chor¹gwi czêstochowskiej. A w seminarium redagowa³em pisma: “Nasze
¿ycie” i “ Nikodem”.
W sierpniu tego roku przyby³em, aby s³u¿yæ Polnii na ziemi amerykañskiej.
UROCZYSTE ROZPOCZÊCIE ROKU SZKOLNEGO DLA UCZNIÓW POLSKIEJ KATOLICKIEJ SZKO£Y IM. ŒW. FERDYNANDA

Dla I zmiany Msza œw. o godzinie 9:15 rano. Dla II zmiany Msza œw. o godz. 1:00 po po³udniu w Koœciele
"MÓDLMY SIE PIEŒNI¥"
Muzyka i œpiew mog¹ staæ siê cudownym sposobem do uwielbienia Boga, jak równie¿ wyraziæ
nasz¹ mi³oœæ do Ojca niebieskiego. Muzyka religijna nie powinna pozostawaæ w koœciele, lecz
towarzyszyæ nam i naszym modlitwom w domu, w pracy, nawet jad¹c samochodem.
Po raz pierwszy zosta³a wydana p³yta wykonana przez dwóch organistów pracuj¹cych w Chicago
mianowicie przez naszego organistê Andrzeja Warzocha i Mariusza Koœla z parafii Œw. Jana
Brebeuf w Niles. P³yta pod tytu³em "Wywy¿szony" która zawiera piosenki religijne we
wspó³czesnej aran¿acji bêdzie sprzedawana w niedzielê 24 sierpnia po wszystkich mszach œw.
w cenie $15. Zachêcamy wszystkich do wsparcia wysi³ku naszych organistów, którzy chc¹ siê
podzieliæ wiar¹ i talentem ze wszystkimi.

Doœwiadczyliœmy i nadal doœwiadczamy znacznej obni¿ki sk³adki niedzielnej w czasie letnich miesiêcy. Przez ostatnie
dwa tygodnie nasza sk³adka by³a najni¿sza od piêciu lat. Jest to oczywisty powód do troski i martwienia siê o utrzymanie naszej parafii. Zwykle podczas lata doœwiadczamy spadku sk³adek niedzielnych o 10-15%. W zesz³ym roku nie
osi¹gneliœmy naszego celu, z kolei tego lata suma sk³adek obni¿y³a siê o 23% od Dnia Matki (i 33% w ci¹gu dwóch
ostatnich niedziel). Mamy nadziejê, ¿e z pocz¹tkiem wrzeœnia, po zakoñczonych ju¿ wakacjach nasza taca wzroœnie.
Prosimy, abyœcie “wyrównali” tygodniowe zobowi¹zania wobec Koœcio³a w nadchodz¹cych tygodniach. Bêdziemy
niezmiernie wdziêczni za kontynuowanie wsparcia, które jest niezwykle wa¿ne dla przysz³oœci naszej parafii.
Dziêkujemy wam za wszystko co czynicie, aby wesprzeæ misjê Chrystusa w Koœciele œw. Ferdynanda.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In his apostolic letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae [On the Most Holy Rosary], Pope John Paul II declared October 2002October 2003 “The Year of the Rosary.” His intent in that letter was to offer encouragement and an exhortation to all the
Catholic faithful “to contemplate the face of Christ in union with, and at the school of, his Most Holy Mother.”
The Holy Father envisions the Rosary and the person of the Blessed Virgin Mary as indispensable elements of a contemplative renewal in the Church. From this contemplative renewal, he expects a revitalized spirit of mission in the Church.
In the Archdiocese of Chicago, we join the Holy Father and the universal Church in celebrating the Year of the Rosary
through a series of prayer services in the months of September and October. We will also have catechetical and instructional materials available for those who wish them. Finally, we encourage each other to pray the Rosary and so to join
ourselves more closely to the mysteries of Jesus Christ in the company and with the guidance of his Mother. I urge you
and invite you to be a part of this holy moment.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I.
