Luke 3,22

„Ty jesteś moim Synem umiłowanym, w Tobie mam

upodobanie”.

Łk 3,22

Baptism of Jesus - Stained glass window

in the side chapel

Chrzest Jezusa - Witraż w kaplicy bocznej

PRAISED BE JESUS CHRIST!

THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD Today we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Starting his public ministry, Jesus came to the Jordan where John the Baptist baptized and preached both repentance and the coming of the Messiah. Jesus came to John the Baptist and asked to be baptized; during Jesus’ baptism, the Holy Spirit came upon him and the voice of God the Father affirmed that Jesus is truly the Son of God. This event in the life of Jesus reminds us of our own baptism. Just like back then, it is also prevalent to our lives today that God speaks the same words to us: “You are my beloved Son, my beloved daughter, in you I am well pleased.” Today let us thank God for the grace of the Sacrament of Baptism, through which we become children of God and are incorporated into the Church.

STEWARDSHIP NOTE “John answered them all, ‘I baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming…he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit... ’” (Luke 3:16) The Catholic Catechism states that “Jesus’ immersion in the water is a sign for all human beings of the need to die to themselves to do God’s will.” In other words, as baptized Catholics there is only one gift that we need to give to Jesus – the gift of ourselves. Surrender yourself to God, place your trust in Him and allow the Holy Spirit to work through you for the greater glory of God.

CCD - RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Monday, 5:30-6:30 p.m., Grades 1-10 - at St. Mary’s School building. PLEASE NOTE - We ask all Parents to park in the church parking lot while waiting for your children. Thank you!

WEDNESDAY - NOVENA to Our Lady of Perpetual Help will be said after evening Mass 6:30pm in Polish. Prayer requests in English or Polish, printed clearly may be placed in the box at the main entrance.

CONCERT OF CHRISTMAS CAROLS This Sunday, January 13, at 3:00 pm our Parish will host a Concert of Christmas Carols performed by Choirs from Our Lady of Czestochowa Parish in Boston, St. Joseph Basilica in Webster and our own choir. Christmas season is coming to an end, but in the Polish tradition we enjoy the decorations and sing Christmas songs until February 2nd - The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. We will have an oportunity once more to listen and sing beautiful Christmas Carols and meditate on the great mystery of The Word made flesh. Please come, and invite your family members and friends.

MEN OF ST. JOSEPH - MARK YOUR CALENDAR! Our parish is starting up an adult men’s group for Bible study, and small group conversations about their faith and the challenges facing Catholic men. The primary focus of the group will be to offer a relaxed open environment for men to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and take that influence back into their family and community. The group will follow a program based on the diocesan division of the Men of St. Joseph of Rhode Island. Meetings will be once per month The first meeting and movie night will be Saturday, February 9, at 5:30. If you have questions, pleasse call Marcin: 774-200-3807 or Andrew: 617-250-7038

Information about MOSJ is available also at: www.mosji.org

NEW PARISH LENDING LIBRARY

Perhaps you have noticed the new bookcase located in the entryway of the church, just to the right of the choir loft stairway. Recently, a couple of parishioners donated a bookcase along with an assortment of new and gently used books on the Catholic Faith. These books have been made available to our parishioners to help us increase our knowledge of the Catholic Faith, thereby increasing our love of our Lord and practice of our Faith. Please take a minute to look over the selection. You are able to take a book, returning it when you have finished or keeping it to share with another to benefit from. If you have any books on our Catholic Faith that are collecting dust on your bookshelf at home, please consider adding them to this new lending library for others to learn from as well. Please take full advantage of this new opportunity for us all to grow in Faith and be sure to check the shelves frequently as our selection will have some turnover!

“9 DAYS FOR LIFE” CAMPAIGN

On January 14, 2019, thousands of Catholics across the country will join in prayer for “9 Days for Life.” The prayer campaign, sponsored by the Committee on Pro Life Activities of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, leads up to the annual Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children. The novena and day of prayer are a time of recollection and reparation in observation of the anniversary of Roe v. Wade—the Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal throughout the United States. Participants can subscribe to receive the daily prayers at www.9daysforlife.com.

NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER Did you know that in Dioceses throughout the United States, Jan. 22 is designated as a Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Human Life? As individuals, we are called to observe this day through the penitential practices of prayer, fasting and/or giving alms, in a way similar to our Lenten practices. Learn more about how you can participate at https://www.worcesterdiocese.org/jan-22-day-of-prayer.

Lewandowski at 978-833-3354. ADULT CONFIRMATION - Are you a baptized, catechized Roman Catholic adult (18 or older) who has never been confirmed?

Niech będzie pochwalony Jezus Chrystus!

NIEDZIELA CHRZTU PAŃSKIEGO Dzisiaj obchodzimy w całym Kościele Święto Chrztu Pań-skiego. Rozpoczynając swoją publiczną działalność, Pan Jezus przyszedł nad Jordan, gdzie Jan Chrzciciel udzielał chrztu na-wrócenia i głosił nadejście Mesjasza. Chrystus poprosił Jana o chrzest i podczas tego chrztu zstąpił na Jezusa Duch Święty a głos Boga Ojca potwierdził, że Jezus jest Synem Bożym. To wydarzenie z życia Jezusa przypomina nam nasz własny chrzest. Tak jak wtedy, tak również i w naszym przypadku Bóg wypowiedział te same słowa: „Ty jesteś mój syn umiło-wany, moja córka umiłowana, w tobie mam upodobanie”. Dziękujmy dziś Bogu za łaskę Sakramentu Chrztu Świętego, przez który staliśmy się dziećmi Bożymi i zostaliśmy włączeni do Kościoła. Niedziela Chrztu Pańskiego zamyka w liturgii Kościoła Okres Bożego Narodzenia, choć w naszej polskiej tradycji dekoracje i śpiew kolęd trwa aż do Święta Ofiarowanie Pańskiego (Matki Bożej Gromnicznej), 2 lutego.

January 2019 My dear brothers and sisters in the Lord, January 22, 2019 marks the 46th anniversary of the tragic Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision which, with its companion case Doe v. Bolton,

legalized abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy in every state in the nation. The General Instruction of the Ro-man Missal (n. 373), designates Tuesday, January 22 as a par-ticular day of prayer and penance, called the “Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children”. All the faithful in dioceses throughout the United States of America are called to observe this day in a spirit of prayer for the full restoration of the legal guarantee of the right to life and of penance for the violations to the dignity of the human person committed through acts of abortion. Forty-six years of legalized abortion in this country has left an incomprehensible aftermath. With over 60 million lives lost, and countless women and men, mothers and fathers, grandpa-rents, siblings, and friends who have been deeply wounded physically, emotionally, and spiritually by this tragedy, we ne-ed now more than ever to re-commit ourselves to defending life. I encourage our diocesan parishes and institutions, and all the faithful, to observe reverently the Day of Prayer and Pe-nance on January 22nd both personally and within your com-munities. Let us unite our hearts and minds through special acts of prayer, fasting, and sacrifice on this day, to uphold the inherent dignity of all human life from conception to natural death. As we reflect on this unspeakable tragedy, we also recall how

the Church for many years has continued to reach out to those who have been so sadly affected by the culture of death, parti-cularly through ministries providing aid to women and families in crisis pregnancies, offering the healing love and mercy of Christ to those wounded by abortion through the ministry of Project Rachel, and by continuing to teach and preach the truth and beauty about love and life that bring authentic freedom and happiness. It is through these charitable works, along with our fervent prayers and sacrifices, that the culture can be transfor-med and the great goods of life, marriage, and religious liberty can be protected and upheld. Let us take this opportunity of the January 22nd Day of Prayer and Penance to renew our resolve to live and proclaim the Go-spel of Life. May we respond generously to the challenge Saint Pope John Paul II put forth in Evangelium vitae: “A great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world. May an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and Lover of life, from the heart of every believer.” Our active participation in the shared commitment to the sa-credness of human life and the dignity of the human person will with God’s grace, truly work toward the building up of a Cultu-re of Life and a Civilization of Love. With every prayerful best wish, I remain Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Reverend Robert J. McManus Bishop of Worcester
