April 4, <strong>2010</strong> Ea<strong>st</strong>er Sunday Page FourFrom <strong>the</strong> Pa<strong>st</strong>or’s Desk....Dear Parishioners and Benefactors <strong>of</strong> St. Ferdinand parish!Once again we celebrate Ea<strong>st</strong>er, which is a great source <strong>of</strong> our spiritual renewal for each <strong>of</strong> us. The Liturgy<strong>of</strong> Ea<strong>st</strong>er Sunday leads us to an empty tomb to personally meet <strong>the</strong> Resurrected Chri<strong>st</strong> and <strong>the</strong>re proclaimour faith by repeating <strong>the</strong> words <strong>of</strong> St. Paul to Thessalonians “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose” (1Tes4, 14)Dear parishioners, I wish you renewed faith in <strong>the</strong> Resurrection <strong>of</strong> our Lord. May it guide you in transformation<strong>of</strong> your life and help you reject fear and anxiety, darkness and despair, and assi<strong>st</strong> you in becoming <strong>the</strong>people <strong>of</strong> <strong>resurrection</strong> faith, that <strong>st</strong>are firmly at <strong>the</strong> Victorious Chri<strong>st</strong>. From this empty tomb flows a true hopeto us faithful, that one day we will be resurrected.Let our hearts be full <strong>of</strong> that Ea<strong>st</strong>er hope, as those who have hope live in a different way. That hope thatflows from <strong>the</strong> joy <strong>of</strong> meeting Resurrected Lord I wish you and your loved ones <strong>the</strong> mo<strong>st</strong>. I extend my Ea<strong>st</strong>ergreetings to all who are with us today, friends, families, gue<strong>st</strong>s and anyone who desired to spend this holy day inour community <strong>of</strong> faith. Therefore, let <strong>the</strong> Resurrected Chri<strong>st</strong> give you <strong>st</strong>rength and enlighten our hearts andminds same way as he did to his apo<strong>st</strong>les on <strong>the</strong>ir way to Emmaus, so we can become His true witnesses in today’scontemporary world.Bless!The peace and grace <strong>of</strong> Resurrected Chri<strong>st</strong> may accompany you and your everyday activities. GodThank you to all who donated to <strong>the</strong> Renovation Fund. In <strong>the</strong> month <strong>of</strong> March $5,798 was collected.God bless you for your generosity. Besides <strong>the</strong> donations collected during our second collection, we received agenerous individual donation from <strong>the</strong> Knych Family in <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> $1,000. Additionally, I would especiallylike to thank our Polish Rosary Groups with its president, Ms. Helena Lesak for <strong>the</strong> donation <strong>of</strong> $4,000 to cover<strong>the</strong> co<strong>st</strong> <strong>of</strong> in<strong>st</strong>alling <strong>the</strong> altar <strong>of</strong> St. Mary <strong>of</strong> Cze<strong>st</strong>ochowa. May our Holy Mo<strong>the</strong>r, through her intercession,plead for graces for <strong>the</strong> members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Rosary Groups, who made such great sacrifices in order to provide <strong>the</strong>new altar for St. Ferdinand Parish.As was already announced, due to Ea<strong>st</strong>er Sunday falling this year on <strong>the</strong> fir<strong>st</strong> Sunday <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> month, oursecond collection for <strong>the</strong> Renovation Fund, will be collected on <strong>the</strong> weekend <strong>of</strong> April 10/11. This is, again, ano<strong>the</strong>ropportunity to support this fund. Remember, donations collected for <strong>the</strong> Building and MaintenanceFund are for general maintenance. Donations for <strong>the</strong> Renovation Fund, on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, will cover <strong>the</strong> co<strong>st</strong>s<strong>of</strong> any repairs to <strong>the</strong> buildings and our parish grounds. The donations collected this month will cover <strong>the</strong> repair<strong>st</strong>o our cooling sy<strong>st</strong>em in <strong>the</strong> <strong>church</strong>. The warmer season is approaching quickly and in order to use <strong>the</strong> airconditioningsy<strong>st</strong>em in <strong>the</strong> <strong>church</strong>, we mu<strong>st</strong> to replace <strong>the</strong> leaking air ducts in <strong>the</strong> attic, so it will not fur<strong>the</strong>r damage<strong>the</strong> <strong>church</strong> ceiling.May our Lord be<strong>st</strong>ow many blessing and you and your family for your generosity and sacrifice on behalf<strong>of</strong> our parish. Once a month a Mass is <strong>of</strong>fered in <strong>the</strong> intention <strong>of</strong> all benefactors and supporters <strong>of</strong> St. FerdinandParish.Fr. Jason Torba

Augu<strong>st</strong>us Tolton; but blackCatholics mo<strong>st</strong> probably have. He was <strong>the</strong> fir<strong>st</strong>American diocesan prie<strong>st</strong> <strong>of</strong> African descent, <strong>the</strong> son<strong>of</strong> slaves. After <strong>st</strong>udying in Rome, because no Americanseminary would accept him, he was ordained for<strong>the</strong> Diocese <strong>of</strong> Quincy, in sou<strong>the</strong>rn Illinois, and latercame to Chicago to <strong>st</strong>art a parish for black Catholics.He died young, at only 43 years <strong>of</strong> age; butmo<strong>st</strong> prie<strong>st</strong>s in <strong>the</strong> nineteenth century died before<strong>the</strong>ir fiftieth birthday.

Page Nine Ea<strong>st</strong>er Sunday April 4, <strong>2010</strong>Z biurka Księdza Proboszcza ...Drodzy Parafianie i Dobrodzieje!Po raz kolejny przeżywamy w naszym życiu Święta Wielkiej Nocy, które <strong>st</strong>ają się okazją i źródłem duchowejodnowy dla każdego z nas. Liturgia Wielkanocy prowadzi nas do pu<strong>st</strong>ego grobu, aby osobiście spotkać się zeZmartwychw<strong>st</strong>ałym Jezusem Chry<strong>st</strong>usem i tam wyznać wiarę słowami św. Pawła do Tesaloniczan: Wierzymy, żeJezus i<strong>st</strong>otnie umarł i zmartwychw<strong>st</strong>ał (1 Tes 4, 14).Drodzy, życzę Wam żywej wiary w Zmartwychw<strong>st</strong>anie Pańskie. Niech ona doprowadzi do przemiany Waszegożycia i pomoże odrzucić lęk i <strong>st</strong>rach, ciemność i rozpacz oraz pomoże <strong>st</strong>awać się Wam ludźmi prawdziwiewielkanocnymi, którzy wpatrują się mocno w Chry<strong>st</strong>usa Zwycięzcę. Z pu<strong>st</strong>ego grobu płynie dla nas, ludzi wierzących,nadzieja, że i my zmartwychw<strong>st</strong>aniemy. Miejmy w sercach jak najwięcej tej wielkanocnej nadziei, bo kto manadzieję, żyje inaczej. Tej nadziei, która płynie ze spotkania ze Zmartwychw<strong>st</strong>ałym Panem życzę z całego sercaWam drodzy parafianie oraz goście, którzy przeżywacie te święta w naszej wspólnocie parafialnej.Niech zatem Zmartwychw<strong>st</strong>ały Chry<strong>st</strong>us dodaje mocy i oświeca nasze serca i umysły, jak uczniom w drodzedo Emaus, abyśmy się <strong>st</strong>ali świadkami Zmartwychw<strong>st</strong>ałego Pana w dzisiejszym świecie. Pokój i łaska Zmartwychw<strong>st</strong>ałegoniech towarzyszy wszy<strong>st</strong>kim Waszym codziennym poczynianiom. Wesołych Swiąt!Serdecznie dziękuję za <strong>of</strong>iary, które złożyliście dotychczas na Fundusz odnowy (Renovation Found). Wmiesiącu marcu zebraliśmy 5,798 . Bóg zapłać za złożone <strong>of</strong>iary na ten cel. Oprócz <strong>of</strong>iar zbieranych w kościele zo<strong>st</strong>ałyprzekazane także <strong>of</strong>iary indywidualne: Rodzina Knych $1,000. Chciałem w sposób szczególny podziękowaćteż Kołom Żywego Różańca z ich przewodniczącą Heleną Lesak za złożenie <strong>of</strong>iary $4,000 na pokrycie kosztówzain<strong>st</strong>alowania ołtarza Matki Bożej Czę<strong>st</strong>ochowskiej. Niech Maryja ze swoim w<strong>st</strong>awienictwem wypraszam całemuzarządowi i wszy<strong>st</strong>kim członkom potrzebne łaski za ten piękny dar dla Parafii św. Ferdynanda.Tak jak ogłaszaliśmy ze względu na przypadające w pierwszą niedzielę miesiąca Święta Wielkanocne,zbiórka na Renovation Found będzie w nadchodzacą niedzielę 11 kwietnia. Będziemy mieli kolejną okazję, aby wesprzećten fundusz. Tak jak was informowałem kilka miesięcy temu <strong>of</strong>iary, które zbieramy w każdą niedzielę oraz<strong>of</strong>iary, które składacie na Bulding and Maintenance Fund wy<strong>st</strong>arczają jedynie na płacenie bieżących rachunków ibieżących prac konserwacyjnych. Natomia<strong>st</strong> z <strong>of</strong>iar zbieranych na Renovation Found będziemy prowadzić niezbędneremonty naszych budynków oraz dbanie o naszą posesję parafialną, na ile będą nam pozwalać zebrane fundusze.Ofiary zbierane w tym miesiącu zo<strong>st</strong>aną przeznaczone na pokrycie kosztów remontu in<strong>st</strong>alacji chłodzącej w kościele.Zbliża się okres letni, abyśmy mogli używać air-conditioning w kościele musimy wymienić przeciekające na poddaszuprzewody, którymi je<strong>st</strong> przesyłane schłodzone powietrze (air ducts), aby zapobiec przed zniszczeniami sufitkościoła.Niech Bóg swoim błogosławień<strong>st</strong>wem wynagrodzi dobroć i hojność waszych serc, za to wszy<strong>st</strong>ko co robiciedla parafii św. Ferdynanda. W intencji wszy<strong>st</strong>kich Ofiarodawców i Dobrodziejów naszej parafii odprawiamy w naszymkościele Mszę św. raz w miesiącu.Ks. Zdzislaw Torba

April 4, <strong>2010</strong> Ea<strong>st</strong>er Sunday Page ThirteenThe sun is up, so let us greet <strong>the</strong> day,for we’ve been <strong>st</strong>umbling in <strong>the</strong> night too long.And too long, too, <strong>the</strong> shadows have held sway;we need at la<strong>st</strong> to hear <strong>the</strong> morning’s song.Yes, we’ve been <strong>st</strong>umbling in <strong>the</strong> night too long,and one could make a case for darkness now.We need, it’s true, to hear <strong>the</strong> morning’s song,but how can <strong>the</strong>se days such a song allow?The case is surely <strong>st</strong>rong for darkness now,because <strong>of</strong> news across <strong>the</strong> countryside.How can <strong>the</strong>se days a song <strong>of</strong> joy allowwhen we know that <strong>the</strong> Chri<strong>st</strong> was crucified?Because <strong>of</strong> news across <strong>the</strong> countryside,<strong>the</strong> music deadens--all <strong>the</strong> notes go sour--for we know that <strong>the</strong> Chri<strong>st</strong> was crucified,which brings us to our darke<strong>st</strong>, sadde<strong>st</strong> hour.The music deadens--all <strong>the</strong> notes go sour--yet, now, recalling what <strong>the</strong> Ma<strong>st</strong>er said,SONG AND DANCE INSTEADCopyright <strong>2010</strong> by John B. Reynolds (john@jrwrites.comperhaps, perhaps, our darke<strong>st</strong>, sadde<strong>st</strong> hourwill bring us all to song and dance in<strong>st</strong>ead.“De<strong>st</strong>roy this temple,” once <strong>the</strong> Ma<strong>st</strong>er said,and <strong>the</strong>n “…in three days I will raise it up.”So maybe we’ll find song and dance in<strong>st</strong>ead<strong>of</strong> sadness, darkness, and death’s bitter cup.And <strong>the</strong>n “…in three days I will raise it up.”And look, this third day hence, <strong>the</strong> empty tomb,as sadness, darkness, and death’s bitter cupsurrender to a dazzling Ea<strong>st</strong>er’s bloom.Behold this third day hence, <strong>the</strong> empty tomb!The darkness--once complete--is now denied,surrendered to a dazzling Ea<strong>st</strong>er’s bloom,so now our Morning Song is amplified!The darkness--once complete--is now denied,like shadows that have too long, too, held sway.Indeed, our Morning Song is amplified:The Son is risen!
