Today’s Mass is being <strong>of</strong>fered FOR ALL OF<br />
OUR MOTHERS, LIVING AND DECEASED<br />
as we celebrate Mother’s Day and our<br />
parish’s annual May Crowning..<br />
Mass intentions may be scheduled by calling<br />
the number listed in the bulletin or by<br />
mailing your request in to the address listed<br />
here. Intentions for the first part <strong>of</strong> this year<br />
were covered by those received our first<br />
weekend back! All subsequent requests are<br />
being scheduled for later in 2013 and a<br />
listing <strong>of</strong> them is being prepared presently.<br />
Candles may be lit and paid for at Mass time<br />

we’d be happy to take care <strong>of</strong> this for you.<br />
We are looking into securing new candle<br />

Parish & Finance Council Candidates<br />
Just a continued reminder that some questionnaires<br />
for those who volunteered to serve on<br />
our Parish Council and Finance Council have<br />
yet to be turned in to the parish. If you haven’t<br />
already done so, please complete the questionnaire<br />
and submit it to the church. Failure to do<br />
so will indicate your change <strong>of</strong> mind regarding<br />
this possible service and we will be forced to<br />
remove your name from consideration and<br />
move ahead without you. We are preparing a<br />
board to post all candidates for review.<br />
Monsignor Telesz Memorials<br />

with 40 years <strong>of</strong> service to St. Casimir<br />
Church, 36 as pastor. Thanks to those you<br />

needs <strong>of</strong> our parishioners and friends for<br />
Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals, etc., can be<br />
arranged by contacting us at your convenience.<br />
Sign-ups Continue<br />
In the church vestibule and the hall, please find<br />
a number <strong>of</strong> yellow sign-up sheets for various<br />
ways in which our parish will be in need <strong>of</strong><br />
volunteer service in the near future. While<br />
some <strong>of</strong> these areas might seem like they’re<br />
repeated (lectors, servers, ushers), we mean to<br />
show that we’re always open to new people<br />
coming forward in service. Some sheets also<br />
indicated the need for help with future first time<br />
events which are in the planning stages (The<br />
Taste <strong>of</strong> St. Casimir’s, etc.) We’re working on<br />
a general parish calendar <strong>of</strong> special events so<br />
that together we will develop new traditions,<br />
continue the old, and keep our vibrant<br />
community active & growing.
ASCENSION OF OUR LORD 12 MAY/MAJ, 2013<br />
MOTHER’S DAY AND MAY CROWNING<br />
TODAY, MAY 12TH<br />
The second Sunday in May is traditionally<br />
celebrated as Mother’s Day, a chance for all <strong>of</strong><br />
us to remember our living and deceased mothers<br />
and all <strong>of</strong> the notable women in our lives in<br />
a special way. It is also appropriate that this<br />
observance falls within the Month <strong>of</strong> May<br />
when the Church celebrates our heavenly<br />
mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.<br />
A number <strong>of</strong> laudable and significant customs<br />
have developed around these themes in almost<br />
every culture, including our Polish and American<br />
ones. Many people have fond memories <strong>of</strong><br />
May Crowning, litanies, rosary recitations,<br />
Majowe devotions, processions, etc., which<br />
were very much a part <strong>of</strong> our growing up.<br />
Our parish <strong>of</strong> St. Casimir has retained the observance<br />
<strong>of</strong> these special events. TODAY, immediately<br />
following Mass, we will celebrate<br />
our annual May Crowning. Please join in<br />
our devotions and outdoor procession. Each<br />
Sunday in May thereafter, we will conclude<br />
Mass with the celebration <strong>of</strong> Majowe devotions.<br />
Our thanks to all who worked so hard to<br />
prepare our parish grounds! NEXT UP: COR-<br />

Memorial Remembrances<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the important matters which everyone<br />
must consider at some time or another is the<br />
final disposition <strong>of</strong> their earthly possessions.<br />
Usually, this includes remembering those<br />
things most dear to us during our lifetime. Our<br />
parish <strong>of</strong> St. Casimir is such an entity. We are<br />
grateful to those families who requested in<br />
obituaries that donations be made in memory<br />
<strong>of</strong> their loved ones to our Church. We encourage<br />
others to consider doing the same and also<br />
to remember us in your estate planning and<br />
will. Your love, help, and concern can ensure<br />
the long lasting, vibrant future <strong>of</strong> St. Casimir’s.<br />
ON OUR POLISH CONSTITUTION DAY<br />
OBSERVERVATION<br />
St. Casimir’s Welcomed Cleveland Polonia<br />
May 3rd <strong>of</strong> each year marks Polish Constitution<br />
Day, celebrating Poland’s 1791 historic document<br />
which laid the foundation for democratic Europe.<br />
Cleveland Polonia annually celebrates its observance<br />
<strong>of</strong> this event the weekend closest to the actual<br />
date, with this year’s being held last weekend,<br />
May 3—5, 2013.<br />
St. Casimir’s was proud to welcome the representatives<br />
<strong>of</strong> Cleveland Polonia to our Mass. We<br />
were grateful for their selecting our parish for this<br />
year’s observance and tried to extend to all our<br />
hearty Staropolskie Goscinosc! A hallmark characteristic<br />
<strong>of</strong> true Poles has always been their unity<br />
in the faith and so we rejoice that the various elements<br />
<strong>of</strong> Cleveland Polonia gathered to praise<br />
God with one heart and voice here at our parish.<br />
In conjunction with this observance, we served in<br />
our Social Hall both a breakfast before Mass and a<br />
luncheon afterward which was so very well received<br />
by all <strong>of</strong> our guests. We should all be<br />
very proud that our parish is so well thought <strong>of</strong><br />
within the Polish community <strong>of</strong> Cleveland and<br />
that we <strong>of</strong>fer such a warm, welcoming, and hospitable<br />
environment for both worship and socializing.<br />
A big thanks to everyone who helped!!!<br />
