Archdiocese of Chicago Celebrates the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity during the Week
of January 18-25
Chicago, IL (January 18, 2018) – The Archdiocese of Chicago will join other Chris ans in ecumenical celebra ons during the
Interna onal Week of Prayer for Chris an Unity, beginning on Thursday, January 18, 2018. Started in 1908, the Week of Prayer
for Chris an Unity is celebrated around the world each year between the Feast of St. Peter’s Chair (January 18) and the Feast of
the Conversion of St. Paul (January 25). “During the Week of Prayer for Chris an Unity, I strongly encourage Catholics to pray in
solidarity and in abundance with our Chris an brothers and sisters,” said Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago. “It is in
shared faith and joint prayer that our communi es are made places of peace and hope for all.”
The Pon fical Council for Promo ng Chris an Unity and the World Council of Churches annually select ecumenical leaders from
various geographical regions to prepare the theme and text for the Week of Prayer. This year’s theme, “Your Right Hand, O Lord,
Glorious in Power,” from the Book of Exodus (15:6), signifies that God draws people together in the desire for Chris an unity.
“Each year, the Week of Prayer for Chris an Unity stands as an important reminder to Catholics and all Chris ans that we are
called to seek unity as followers of Jesus Christ,” said Very Rev. Thomas A. Baima, Vicar for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs
for the Archdiocese of Chicago. “My hope is that Chris ans in Chicago remain open to making the me this week to pray
together for the unity that Christ desires for his disciples.”

Please Make Your Gift to the 2018 Annual Catholic Appeal
“Come, Follow Me”
The Annual Catholic Appeal is an annual fundraising campaign that supports the parishes, schools, ministries, programs and
agencies that serve the educa onal, physical and spiritual needs of the people of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Through Catholic
Relief Services, the Appeal also serves people around the world, regardless of religious affilia on, whose lives are devastated by
natural disasters, illnesses, wars and famine.
Faith is alive in parishes and schools, soup kitchens and counseling centers, on street corners and in churches. It’s lived through
people of all backgrounds, from every neighborhood. People everywhere come
together to support one another. It is in this spirit that the Appeal exists: to
bring support gi s, and build strong communi es through faith and your
generosity.
Many families in our parish received already the Annual Catholic Appeal request
mailing from Cardinal Cupich. On behalf of those served by the ministries and
services funded by the ACA, we thank you for your gifts. Please return your
response as soon as possible.
The ACA offers a wonderful opportunity to answer Jesus’ call to “Come, Follow
Me.” In addition to providing for ministries and services throughout the
Archdiocese, the Appeal also funds services that are of great help to ministries
here in our Parish.
As we contemplate God’s many gifts to us, we should also reflect on our
gratitude for these gifts. Your financial support for the work of our Parish, our
Archdiocese, and the Church throughout the world is, in fact, one way to
express this gratitude. Please give generously to the 2018 Annual Catholic
Appeal.
When our parish reaches its goal of $ 32,112 in paid pledges, 100% of the
additional funds received will be returned to us for use in our Parish.

Znakiem obecności Eucharys i w tabernakulum jest
wieczna lampka. Przypomina ona Chrystusa jako światłość

DOROCZNA KWESTA KATOLICKA 2018
„Pójdź za mną”
Wiele rodzin w naszej parafii wkrótce otrzyma list od Kardynała Cupicha
z prośbą o złożenie zobowiązania finansowego na rzecz Kwesty
Katolickiej. W imieniu tych, którzy korzystają z posług i usług
finansowanych przez Kwestę dziękujemy Państwu za Państwa dar.
Prosimy o jak najszybsze odesłanie Państwa odpowiedzi.
Doroczna Kwesta Katolicka stwarza wspaniałe możliwości odpowiedzenia na
wezwanie Jezusa „Pójdź za mną”.
Poza wspieraniem dzieł duszpasterskich i programów w całej Archidiecezji,
Kwesta Katolicka finansuje również posługi, które służą wielką pomocą
duszpasterstwu naszej parafii. Dzięki Kweście w naszej parafii będziemy
mogli jeszcze dokładniej zagospodarować naszą posejsję wokól kościoła.
Rozmyślając nad darami, które otrzymaliśmy od Boga, powinniśmy
równocześnie zastanawiać się nad okazaniem wdzięczność za otrzymane
dobro. Państwa finansowe wsparcie dzieł naszej parafii, archidiecezji i
Kościoła na świecie jest jednym ze sposobów wyrażenia tej wdzięczności.
Prosimy o hojne wsparcie Dorocznej Kwesty Katolickiej 2018.
Kiedy nasza parafia osiągnie kwotę docelową $32,112 w gotówce, to 100%
dodatkowo zebranych funduszy zostanie zwrócone do parafii na
zaspokojenie jej własnych potrzeb. Bóg zapłać!
