VOCATION
Roman Catholics in the United
States spend a good deal of time
speaking of “vocation” and the
manner in which each of us dis-
cerns our vocation for life. In to-
day’s apostolic letter, however, Pe-
ter gives us the “cornerstone” of
our vocation, the description of what each of us is
called to first and foremost by our baptism. He de-
scribes our vocation as “a chosen race, a royal priest-
hood, a holy nation, a people of [God’s] own, so that
you may announce the praises” of Christ, who called
us out of darkness into light (1 Peter 2:9). All of us, no
matter what path our life’s vocation may take us
down, have been chosen by God, made holy, and
anointed as priests in the high priesthood of Christ
through baptism. All of this, so that we may announce
the praises of Christ. Vocation is given for proclama-
tion at home, in the workplace—wherever life takes
us—in service, in word, and in sacrament.

 FROM FATHER RICH

On Saturday, May 21st I participated in the Ordination of 10 men as

priests for the Archdiocese of Chicago by Cardinal Francis George. One
of them is Father Wojciech Oleksy who preached at St. Albert the Great
Church at all the Masses on Vocation Weekend last year. He is assigned
to St. Mary of Perpetual Help Parish and today on Sunday, May 22nd he
is celebrating his first Mass and he asked me to preach as the former
rector of the Bishop Abramowicz Seminary who recruited him from
Tarnow Diocese in Poland. Please keep him and all the newly ordained
in your prayers. I feel sorry for them because they just learned how to
celebrate the Mass and now they have to study and implement the
changes to the Roman Missal.
Adjusting to the Roman Missal translation next Advent 2011 will be
a little like moving into a new room. At certain points in our lives we
may realize that we have outgrown a room, an apartment, or even a
home and that we need more space. While moving into a new space
gives us an opportunity to add new furniture, we don’t usually throw away all the old. We combine
the new pieces with the pieces of furniture that we are bringing along to create a new living space
that serves our needs.
In many ways, the need for a third edition of the Roman Missal translation is similar. Like the
addition of brand-new furniture, some of the third edition includes completely new texts for use at
Mass. Much of this third edition, however, will be as familiar to us as old furniture, albeit renewed
in its beauty through a new translation. As we prepare to implement the Roman Missal translation
next Advent, it is important to remember that although moving into a new living space is exciting,
it can also be a challenge as we try to recall where things are now compared with our previous
space. As we move toward the implementation of the Roman Missal translation in Advent 2011, we
will no doubt experience the same excitement and challenge that comes with any change. It will
only be a matter of time before we adjust and once again feel at home with the words we use to
worship our good and gracious God.
God Bless, Fr. Rich

 FEAST OF FAITH
The Preparation of the Altar
The altar is the focal point of our churches. It is a sign of Christ in our midst; indeed, it has
been said that “the altar is Christ” (Dedication of an Altar, 4). The altar is a table “on which the sacri-
fice of the cross is perpetuated in mystery throughout the ages until Christ comes”; but it is also the
place for a festive meal: “a table at which the Church’s children assemble to give thanks to God and
receive the body and blood of Christ” (Dedication of an Altar, 4).
Both these functions of the altar are clear in the rites for the preparation of the altar that fol-
low the general intercessions, which remind us of the preparations we make at home for a festive
meal. The deacon or altar servers come forward and, bowing, place a cloth known as a corporal
(from the Latin for “body”) over the altar cloth. They place the chalice, the cup to be used in the cele-
bration of the Eucharist, and the Sacramentary or Roman Missal, which contains the prayers of the
Mass, on the altar. These reverent preparations help us to focus on what is about to happen: the
sharing of a holy meal, a solemn sacrifice. —Corinna Laughlin, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

 OD KS. RYSZARDA
Głównym celem przyjścia Zbawiciela na świat było zbawienie człowieka. Nie były
Mu jednak obojętne i zwykłe ludzkie sprawy. Ewangelie ukazują nam Jezusa, który
pochyla się nad człowiekiem cierpiącym, przywraca zdrowie chorym, uwalnia od
złych duchów, a nawet wskrzesza umarłych, współczując zasmuconym po stracie
ukochanej osoby. Także Kościół obejmuje swoją troską nie tylko sprawy dotyczące
zbawienia człowieka, ale poprzez działalność charytatywną przychodzi z pomocą
ludziom również w wielorakich potrzebach materialnych. O takiej działalności
Kościoła jest mowa w dzisiejszym czytaniu z Dziejów Apostolskich. Za radą
Apostołów został utworzony pierwszy zespół charytatywny, do którego wezwano
ludzi cieszących się dobrą sławą, pełnych Ducha i mądrości (Dz 6, 3). Zostali oni przedstawieni
Apostołom i otrzymali od nich błogosławieństwo.
Nasze dobre uczynki mają duże znaczenie u Boga, bo, jak wyraził się św. Piotr, Są to duchowe
ofiary, przyjemne Bogu przez Jezusa Chrystusa (1 P 2, 5). Razem z Jezusem Chrystusem wielbimy
więc Boga, składając Mu ofiary jako Jego kapłani. Kapłani? Tak, bo jesteśmy zjednoczeni z
JezusemKapłanem i wspólnie z Nim uczestniczymy w tak zwanym kapłaństwie powszechnym. Nie
dziwmy się więc, że my, chrześcijanie, zostaliśmy nazwani wybranym plemieniem, królewskim
kapłaństwem, świętym narodem, ludem Bogu na własność przeznaczonym (1 P 2, 9).
W ubiegłą niedzielę w Święto Dobrego Pasterza modliliśmy się za Kapłanów, Diakonów, Kleryków
oraz o nowe i święte powołania kapłańskie i zakonne. Wczoraj Ksiądz Kardynał Francis George
udzielił święceń kapłańskich dziesięciu diakonom wśród których jest polski Ksiądz, Ks. Wojciech
Oleksy. Ksiądz Wojciech głosił kazania w naszym kościele jako Diakon w Niedzielę Powołaniwą w
ubiegłym roku. Ksiądz Wojciech odprawi dzisiaj Mszę Świętą prymicyjną w Kościele Matki Bożej
Nieustającej Pomocy i poprosił mnie abym wygłosił kazanie jako były Rektor Polskiego Seminarium
im. Biskupa Abramowicza, do którego on zgłosił się jako Kleryk Seminarium z Diecezji Tarnowskiej.
Prosimy Was o modlitwę w intencji Księdza Wojciecha i wszystkich nowo wyświęconych Kapłanów
jak również za wszystkich Kapłanow którzy w większości w maju obchodzą rocznicę święceń
kapłańskich.
W przyszłą niedzielę będziemy w naszej parafii gościć polskiego misjonarza, Ks. Marka Kondrata,
który pracuje w Nowej Gwinei i odprawi Msze Święte dzieląc się swoim doświadczeniem misyjnym
z pracy wśród ubogich i potrzebujących. Prosimy o wsparcie Księdza Marka modlitwą i ofiarą.

Bóg zapłać, Szczęść Boże, Ks. Ryszard

W niedzielę 12 czerwca o godz. 1;30 pm zostanie odprawiona

w naszym Kościele Msza Święta Odpustowa “Koła Skrzypne”.
Po Mszy Świętej w sali pod Kościołem zostanie podany
smaczny obiad, a po nim rozpocznie się zabawa. Do
tańca przygrywać będzie zespół “Millenium”. Cały do-
chód przeznaczony jest na remont plebanii w Skrzypnym.
Bilety są w cenie $20.00 - dorośli, $10.00 - dzieci. Bilety
można już nabywać po Mszy Świętej lub w tygodniu w
kancelarii parafialnej. Do udziału w tej zabawie zachę-
camy zaprzyjaźnione Góralskie Koła oraz wszystkich
parafian! Telefon kontaktowy: Jan Mrowca 780-430-9518
