All the Fish in the Sea… This past week we seem to have been bombarded with so many different reasons for prayers and so many different causes and collections (and, unfortunately, this will not be changing soon). Yet to those who attended the Third Thursday Mass for the Beatification of Servant of God John Paul II the one topic which was paramount to the universal church, the subject of focus in his writings that evening, was that of Christian unity. The man who was born into a country whose 1920 borders contained a colorful mosaic of religions, then after 1945 saw its borders drastically changed leaving a more homogenous Roman Catholic nation, was not unfamiliar with the family which contained Christians of more than one denomination. That family, the colorful, multi-cultural, multi-lingual Christian family, has been a fact from the time of Jesus, and, as with any family, it has produced a myriad of faces and customs reflecting beliefs and needs and customs born over years and borders. The Christian family seems to have functioned as most our families have including with times of harmony and times of discord. Were divisions inevitable within the Church as it grew outside the boundaries of Jerusalem and Rome and expanded its familial ties into regions of Constantinople and Egypt and other cultures beyond the Occidental world? In his book Crossing the Threshold of Hope, John Paul II asks if perhaps these resulting divisions may have been ‘a path continually leading the Church to discover the untold wealth contained in Christ’s Gospel and in the redemption accomplished by Christ?’ All this said, even admitting the long list of sins which added to the divisions and conflicts and animosities over the centuries, John Paul II stated that “the time must come for the love that unites us to be manifested.” As Jesus walked along the shoreline and saw Peter and his companions fishing in the sea He knew the problems his followers would encounter as they cast out their nets for men and women instead of fish. Christ knew that the nets would pull in a family in the truest sense of the word, one with different and unique specimens all composing the mosaic unified in essence by His love. Will this desire for Christian unity be realized? Has it not already been manifested in a certain way? Within the walls of the many churches is the praise of worship of the same God Who can only know what is in the hearts of all. This unity can only be maintained and nurtured if the doors remain wide open to Christ! They must be opened with courage and faith, unafraid of the power which can and will be released as Christ welcomes His entire family into one home. “For Christ is the light and Christ is the way and Christ is the Love who loves you!” David Krakowski SCHEDULE FOR MINISTERS PARISH SUPPORT Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time, February 3, Lutego, 2008 5:00 PM Lector — Tom Krol Euch.

Sat PASTORAL MESSAGE OLD SCHOOL—NEW SCHOOL This week is the annual celebration of Catholic Schools Week. It is not only a time to recruit new students. It is also a time to celebrate the great gift that Catholic education has been to so many of us and to recommit to the mission of Catholic education in our own time. If you have been following the excellent bulletin articles written by Rob Jagelewski about our parish history, it should have struck you that the very beginning of our parish coincided with the opening of a school as well. Most historians of American Catholicism regard Catholic schools as the single greatest contribution of our Church, not only as an advancement for American society in general, but also a model and treasure for the whole Church worldwide. Our own parish elementary school is no exception. One of the oldest Catholic elementary schools still operating in the diocese, we are also one of the strongest. Our enrollment, though lower this year than last year, is still quite strong. Our school is on solid financial ground and has not required a subsidy from the parish for the last three years. We are the only Catholic school in the area that has special teachers for students with learning disabilities. This includes (among other things) speech therapy, reading assistance, basic skills help, a school nurse, and a staff psychologist. At the same time, advanced students are able to take classes at Cleveland Central Catholic High School, and we consistently place well in the city-wide math, spelling, and science competitions. We have a full-time gym/ health teacher, a music teacher for all grade levels, and foreign language (Polish or Spanish) required of all students in grade three and older. Another source of pride is the success we consistently have with immigrant children. In recent years, several families from Poland have sent their children to our school, where they received excellent preparation for high school and beyond. We still have Polish immigrants making excellent progress, and we also have families from Central America and Africa. This year we also employ a Polish immigrant as one of our classroom teachers. Of course, kids will be kids. Our halls are not like clouds of heaven populated by angels — nor has it ever been that way. But there are certain ways that Catholic Christian values are lived out daily. All children are treated with respect and given every opportunity to achieve their personal best. There is an environment of tolerance and respect among students, and in a racially divided city like Cleveland there is little trace of racism in our school. The kids attend Mass every week, sharing in the readings, the petitions, singing, and serving at the altar. (Why not join them at 8:30 AM Mass some time? Unless there is an occasional special all-school Mass, grades 3-5 come on Wednesday, grades K-2 are Thursdays, and grades 6-8 are Fridays.) Check out the special activities starting this weekend with the annual reunion and including a church tour for parents, led by some students and myself. We thank God for the gift of Catholic schools, and we ask him to guide us in sustaining the gift for others. Fr. Michael JANUARY 27, STYCZNIA 2007 Brat Alojzy Kosiba Kto to jest „Brat Alojzy Kosiba”? Prawdopodobnie nikt z czytelników „ Biuletynu” nie zetknął się z tą postacią. Brat Alozjy Kosiba jest Sługą Bożym, co znaczy, że zmarł w opinii świętości i obecnie toczy się jego proces beatyfikacyjny. Dlaczego o nim piszę? Bo Alojzy Kosiba był franciszkaninem, członkiem prowincji Matki Bożej Anielskiej, do której należy także autor tego artykułu. „Sługa Boży” - ten tytuł dzieli Brat Alojzy z wieloma innymi ludźmi, np. z Janem Pawłem II, o którego beatyfikację modlimy się w każdą niedzielę. Ale jak Jana Pawła II zna każdy, tak Brata Alojzeczka, jak był nazywany, zna niewielu. A ponieważ, jak wspomniałem, był członkiem naszej prowincji zakonnej, szczególnie związanym z klasztorem we Wieliczce, gdzie mieszka rekolekcjonista o. Bernard Potępa, myślę, że warto przybliżyć trochę postać pokornego Sługi Bożego. Brat Alojzy Piotr Kosiba (1855-1939) urodził się i wychował w rodzinie chłopskiej na Podkarpaciu. Jakiś czas pracował w zakładzie szewskim a w wieku 23 lat został franciszkaninem. W zakonie przez blisko 50 lat był kwestarzem i jałmużnikiem klasztoru wielickiego. Kto czytał „Pana Tadeusza”, wie, co to znaczy „kwestarz”. Kwestarzem był ksiądz Robak, czyli nawrócony Jacek Soplica. W biografii Brata Alojzego Kosiby możemy przeczytać, że miał on w sobie coś z kwestarzy staropolskich, można nawet powiedzieć, że w pełnym tego słowa znaczeniu był ostatnim z nich. Był on kwestarzem wyjątkowo godnym tego miana, ponieważ pozostając bez zastrzeżeń wiernym łasce powołania zakonnego, dawał swoim życiem autentyczne świadectwo Chrystusowi i Jego najwierniejszemu naśladowcy - św. Franciszkowi z Asyżu. Tu pewnie możemy zobaczyć też najważniejszą różnicę pomiędzy ks. Robakiem z „Pana Tadeusza” i Bratem Alojzym. O ile ten pierwszy był najpierw bojownikiem o wolną Polskę, a dopiero na drugim miejscu apostołem Chrystusa, to Alojzy jest najpierw Sługą Chrystusa. I w taki to sposób ten prosty i pokorny Sługa Boży stał się niemal legendą wśród ludu. (…) Wnet uznano go za męża modlitwy, za wzór miłości i dobroci, radości życia i zarazem pokuty. Dla wielu ludzi, zwłaszcza „maluczkich tego świata” stał się przyjacielem, powiernikiem i doradcą. Jego proste i serdeczne słowa objawiły mądrość, niosły pociechę, a niekiedy stawały się programem życia. („Patron maluczkich. Brat Alojzy Kosiba”, praca zbiorowa pod redakcją o Bogdana Brzuszka OFM). Potrafił zobaczyć obraz Boży w każdym człowieku, także w najuboższych i zagubionych. Kochał ich całym sercem i za św. Wincentym à Paulo, nazywał swoimi „Panami”. W przypadku Sługi Bożego Jana Pawła II cud za jego wstawiennictwem został już udokumentowany i uznany. Jeśli chodzi o Brata Alojzego, to o taki cud trzeba prosić. Z Polski przywiozłem obrazki Sługi Bożego z jego krótkim życiorysem i modlitwą do prywatnego odmawiania. Jest to „Nowenna do Trójcy Najświętszej o łaski za wstawiennictwem Sługi Bożego Brata Alojzego Kosiby”. Można je znaleźć w przedsionku kościoła. Zachęcam do odmawiania tej nowenny, a w przypadku jej wysłuchania, proszę o zgłoszenie tego do Ojca Wicepostulatora na podany tam adres. To bowiem może przyczynić się do posunięcia procesu beatyfikacyjnego o jeden, ważny krok naprzód. o. Placyd ST. STANISLAUS CLEVELAND, OHIO SUPERBOWL PARTY FR. CAMILLUS SURGERY UPDATE The doctors say that Fr. Camillus came through surgery with flying colors. All he needs now is some rest and rehabilitation. Having spent a few days in the hospital, he is now at the Villa St. Joseph on the Marymount campus for several weeks of therapy. He looks forward to walking without pain! If you wish to visit him, keep in mind his need for therapy and rest. 2008 MASS BOOK IS OPEN Those who wish to reserve Masses for wedding anniversaries, anniversaries of deaths, or other special intentions in 2008 can do so in person in the rectory from 9:30 AM until 4:30 PM. You may also mail your Mass intentions or drop them into the collection basket along with the customary stipend and your requested dates. ST. STAN’S HISTORICAL FACT by Rob Jagelewski One little known fact of the neighborhood and the parish is that the man who assassinated President William McKinley on September 6, 1901, Leon Czolgosz, was in this area for a length of time. While he may not have been a parishioner, because he broke with the Catholic Church, he certainly was in the neighborhood. Czolgosz was born in 1873, the same year our parish was founded. He left the family farm in Warrensville to come to Cleveland to work at American Steel and Wire. After a strike at the factory, Czolgosz was fired. He moved to Buffalo, New York in 1901. By then he was steeped in anarchist philosophy. Czolgosz was in a receiving line to meet President McKinley at the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo. He shot the President at point blank range. McKinley died and was succeeded by Theodore Roosevelt. Czolgosz was found guilty of the crime and was executed in October of 1901.

COMMUNITY NEWS JANUARY 27, STYCZNIA 2007 Winter in the Metropark Family Jubilation Found Squarely in the Emerald Necklace The Cleveland Metroparks has to be one of this region’s most successful endeavors. Established in 1917 to provide open space for the people of Greater Cleveland, the Emerald Necklace preserves the natural spaces in Cleveland. Our green space enhances life here in Cleveland with its more than 21,000 acres in sixteen reservations and the Metroparks Zoo, including some space in Hinckley Township in Medina County. Winter can be a great time to be outdoors. After a recent snow, the trees are covered in frosty white, the branches sparkling in the low sunlight above pristine snow-dusted forest floors. Sparrows, wrens, and mourning doves can be found at the Canal Ways Reservation on E. 49th Street in Cuyahoga Heights, and red-tailed hawks loop the skies above the quiet landscape. It’s quieter in winter, somehow more holy. Squirrels scurry up trees, while other mammals like mice and shrews stay warm under a blanket of snow. Deer, coyote, and fox hover near, but unseen... TRANSFIGURATION SCHOLARSHIP — DEADLINE MARCH 1.

HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Brrrr… It’s been cold, and our heating bills confirm how cold it has been these last few weeks. Forecasters say that we are in for a cold winter!
