Or, is your heart longing for something deeper that can only be found by spending time with God? Take time, each day, in silence and ask the Lord what it is that He wants you to do.

Speak, for your servant is listening. With those few words Samuel humbles himself and declares his loyalty and obedience to God. There are perhaps for many of us challenges in those words. Ini-tially Samuel responds Here I am, but thinks it was Eli who called him. The idea of being a servant and the willingness to serve are what may be trials for us in terms of how we live. Samuel does not recognize the voice of the Lord. That, too, may be a problem for us. First we need to be listening. Are we listening, or are we merely going through the motions? Responding to God with Here I am is a magnificent way to react to God. It is not that God does not know where we are, but saying that can serve as a reminder to us that we are stewards, servants to Him, and it implies we are prepared to hear what He wants us to do. Here I am is said numerous times by those in the Old Testament. When Jesus says, Come follow me, as He does to us, do we hear Him, and even more important do we re-

spond and do we follow? In order to do that properly we have to be prepared to serve Him and others. Thus, like Samuel, we need to listen, and then we need to serve. At a recent papal audience, Pope Francis said, Love and charity are ser-

DEVOTIONS AND PRAYERS TO ST. JOSEPH Traditionally, every Wednesday is dedicated to St. Joseph. In our parish, every Wednesday, the Mass at 7:00 p.m is followed by a Novena to St. Joseph. He is venerated across the world as the most powerful and influential patron in all our daily struggles. Let our presence be an expression of our trust and faith in his power and effectiveness. Please print your intentions legibly on the petition slips available in Our Lady of Czestochowa Chapel for needed

favors. Our Parish Council members will carry St. Joseph’s statue into the Sanctuary for this Mass.

THANK YOU FROM OUR FELICIAN SISTERS The joy of Christmas is Jesus, God’s Gift to us! The Child Jesus is our reason for gifting others during the Christmas season. Your Christmas gift is a source of joy to us. We are deeply touched by your thoughfulness and generosity. Thank you so much for remembering us. May the Virgin Mary with her Loving Child bless you! —Felician Sisters

RECEPTION FOR VIRGINIA

WOZNICKI Next Saturday, January 20, after the 4pm Mass St. Joseph Basilica offers the opportunity to say Thank You to Mrs. Vir-

ginia Woznicki for her dedicated work to our parish. She served at the parish office for over 15 years with total dedication, loyalty, and integrity. We are grateful for her work and wish her good health and many blessings of God. A gathering and light meal will be held in the St. Joseph School cafeteria providing parishioners the opportunity to personally thank her. WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH? The real meaning of Christmas is the incarnation of the Son of God into human flesh which provides us the opportunity to look deeper into our lives and to see beyond the broken-ness and mad-ness of this world - to ponder if there is something better and more stable to plan our lives. In the celebration of Christmas, Jesus came to humanity and in the Epiphany revealed himself to each one of us. On the day of His baptism which was celebrated on Monday, January 8, he extended an invitation to become part of the family of God and of the adopted children of the eternal Father. This truth is very encouraging and comforting for all those who, through the sacrament of baptism, already are part of God’s family. For those who are not baptized or away from the Catholic Church it is an open invitation to seek the Lord while he may be found and to call him while he is near. In a simple ceremony, when the priest pours the holy water on the individual, God makes a miracle, a human being becomes a child of God through the power of the Holy Spirit. St. Joseph Basilica offers an opportunity to those who think seriously about the true joy and eternal salvation in the world to come and to join us in preparation for the sacrament of baptism or full participation in the Catholic Church. For details, please phone the rectory (508) 943-0467. Several meetings will take place in the rectory to prepare those to embrace God’s goodness, love, and mercy in the sacrament of baptism.

This weekend’s second collection is for Parish Obligations to the Diocese

Next weekend’s second collection is for The Catholic University of America

WORDS OF GRATITUDE During the week of Epiphany, January 7, we recognize our volunteers who serve in various ministries and committees for the parish throughout the year. There are countless individu-als who take personal responsibility to reach out in various ways and forms to others to ensure our parish fulfills its mis-sion for which it was established. Among them are many peo-ple who are never mentioned publicly who provide vital ser-vices in various capacities. I would like to pay special atten-tion to our Cash Calendar Committee, Bingo Committee, our Choirs, Religious Education Instructors, Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Ushers, Bereavement Committee, Gym Committee, Parish Council, Finance Board, Hospitality Committee, St. Joseph Women’s Club, Holy Rosary Sodality, Sacred Heart Society, St. Anne Society, our Sacristan, and the Knights of Columbus. Without the assistance of these very important individuals our parish would not be the success that it is. Thank you to each one of you and God Bless you in this new year. - Monsignor Czarnecki and Reverend Grzegorz Chodkowski

CHOIR CONCERT Although the Christmas season has liturgically ended with the Baptism of the Lord, its significance and beauty, especially the melodies of the Christmas carols, are still ring-ing in our hearts. In many countries, the singing of Christmas carols is traditionally extended to February 2, the Presenta-tion of our Lord. Across the world various concerts are or-ganized before and after Christmas due to great popularity and anticipation of this unique Holy Day of the year. St. Jo-seph Basilica will be the host for the state of Massachusetts’ leading New England choirs on Sunday, January 21, at 2:30 p.m. The choirs from Our Lady of Czestochowa par-ishes of Worcester and Boston will be present as well as the St. John the Baptist Choir from Salem MA along with our parish choir. They will present a variety of the most popular Christmas carols in a very distinguished manner. I would like to believe that the parishioners of St. Joseph Basilica love and appreciate good music and will instinctively be drawn to this event. Please come and invite your friends to join us for this beautiful performance which helps to extend the spirit of Christmas There is no charge to attend this won-derful concert.

ATTRIBUTES OF A CATHOLIC EDUCATION Catholic School Week provides an opportunity to look closely at the meaning of a Catholic education and its impact upon our society. The most important features of Catholic education are its faith-based emphasis in challenging the mind and forming the soul. Faculty and administration are mindful that they are forming future citizens of integrity and service to our Country. Faith-based schools view art and science within the context of infinite horizons which helps the students to notice the Big Picture. Faith-based schools address the material and spiritual components of every student which enables them to make the right choices in life. In such schools there is a collaborative effort between school administration, faculty, and parents. In Catholic schools the parents have a right and obligation to be involved in the education of their children. These few components play an important role in the background of secularism and libertarianism which is widespread in our Country. When parents are considering the best education for their children, they should reflect on these important attributes of education for their offspring. (To be continued...)

HONOR SOCIETY St. Joseph School is proud to announce that the following stu-dents have been inducted into the Junior National Honor Society: Grade 7 - Remonda Makarios and Kaileigh Strong; Grade 8: Benja-min Duval, Szymon Mamro, and Emilia Pianka. These students are the founding members of the Ea-gles Chapter. The Society is an organization that promotes recog-

nition for its students who reflect outstanding accomplishments in the areas of scholarship, leadership, character, service, and citizenship.

NIEDZIELA ZWYKŁA 14 Stycznia, 2018

„Jezus zaś odwróciwszy się i ujrzawszy, że oni idą za Nim, rzekł do nich: «Czego szukacie?»” (J 1, 38)

DONATION Our Basilica has received a donation of $60 from the Blain family in honor of the baptism of Konrad Blain. Thank you for your kindness! May God bless you.

Żeby poznać Jezusa, trzeba Go pokochać. Nie wystarczy wziąć do ręki jedną z wielu biografii Mistrza z Nazaretu. Na niewiele się zda przeczytanie wszystkich czterech Ewangelii. To za mało, by Go prawdziwie poznać. Do tego potrzebna jest miłość, która otwiera na spotkanie z Bogiem.

Podobnie nie wolno głosić prawdy o Nim w oderwaniu od miłości. Jak zauważa jeden ze współczesnych teologów, nawet nie wypadałoby Go głosić innym ludziom, gdybyśmy Go nie kochali. Czy nie dlatego niektórzy nie umieją mówić o Nim nawet swoim dzieciom?

PODZIĘKOWANIE OD SIÓSTR FELICJANEK Jezus, dar Boga dla nas, jest radością Świąt Bożego Narodzenia. Narodziny Dzieciątka są dla nas powodem do obdarowywania się nawzajem. Wasze prezenty są dla nas ogromną radością. Dziękujemy za Waszą szczodrość i wspaniałomyślność. Niech Dziewica Maryja z ukochanym Dzieciątkiem Wam błogosławi!

NOWENNA DO ŚW. JÓZEFA Tradycyjnie każda środa w naszej parafii jest dedykowana św. Józefowi. O godz. 19:00 gromadzimy się na Mszę św. wotywną, połączoną z Nowenną do św. Józefa. Na całym świecie św. Józef jest czczony, jako wielki patron w codziennych potrzebach. Zbliżajmy się zatem i my do Niego z wiarą i zaufaniem w skuteczność Jego wstawiennictwa. W procesji z figurą św. Józefa pójdą członkowie Rady Parafialnej.

CHCESZ DOŁĄCZYĆ DO KOŚCIOŁA KATOLICKIEGO?

Prawdziwym znaczeniem Bożego Narodzenia jest wcielenie Syna Bożego w ludzkim ciele, które daje nam możliwość spojrzenia głębiej w nasze życie i wejrzenia poza szaleństwo tego świata i zastanowienia się, czy istnieje coś lepszego i bardziej stabilnego, aby zaplanować nasze życie. W celebracji Bożego Narodzenia Jezus przyszedł do ludzi, aby objawić się każdemu z nas. W dniu swego chrztu, który był obchodzony w poniedziałek, 8 stycznia, rozszerzył zaproszenie, aby stawać ć się częścią rodziny Bożej i przybranymi dzieci Ojca Odwiecznego. Ta prawda jest bardzo zachęcająca i pocieszająca dla wszystkich tych, którzy przez sakrament chrztu są już częścią Bożej rodziny. Dla tych, którzy nie są ochrzczeni lub z dala od Kościoła Katolickiego, jest to otwarte zaproszenie do szukania Pana, gdy można go znaleźć i do wzywania Go, gdy jest blisko. W prostej ceremonii, gdy kapłan polewa święconą wodę na osobę, Bóg dokonuje cudu, a człowiek staje się dzieckiem Bożym dzięki mocy Ducha Świętego. Bazylika św. Józefa daje okazję dla tych, którzy poważnie myślą o prawdziwej radości i wiecznym zbawieniu, aby przyłączyć się do nas w przygotowaniach do sakramentu chrztu lub pełnego uczestnictwa w Kościele Katolickim. Szczegółowe informacje na temat programu RCIAmożna uzyskać w biurze parafialnym lub pod numerem: (508) 943-0467.

PODZIĘKOWANIE DLA VIRGINII WOZNICKI

W najbliższą sobotę, 20 stycznia, po Mszy św. o godz. 16:00, spotkamy się w szkolnej kafeterii na kolacji, w czasie

której będziemy mogli osobiście podziękować pani Virginii za ponad 15 lat niestrudzonej i pełnej poświęcenia pracy w biurze parafialnym. W raz z nowym rokiem odeszła na zasłużoną emeryturę. Skorzystajmy z okazji, aby wyrazić swoją wdzięczność za cały wysiłek włożony funkcjonowanie naszej wspólnoty.

SŁOWA WDZIĘCZNOŚCI Tuż po zakończeniu starego roku pragniemy zwrócić się ze słowami uznania do naszych wolontariuszy, którzy przez cały rok służą w różnych grupach parafialnych. Istnieje niezliczona liczba osób, które podejmują wyzwanie, aby na różne sposoby dotrzeć do innych, aby nasza parafia spełniała swoją misję, dla której została ustanowiona. Wśród nich jest wielu ludzi, którzy nigdy nie są publicznie wymienieni, którzy posługi o różnym charakterze. Chciałbym zwrócić szczególną uwagę na Cash Calendar Committee, Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Ushers, Bereavement Committee, Gym Committee, Parish Council, Finance Board, Hospitality Committee, St. Joseph Women’s Club, Holy Rosary Sodality, Sacred Heart Society, St. Anne Society, and the Knights of Columbus. Bez pomocy tych bardzo ważnych osób nasza parafia nie mogłaby spełniać swojego posłania w takim wymiarze, jak w chwili obecnej. Dziękuję każdemu z was i niech Bóg was błogosławi w tym nowym roku. - Ks. Prałat Antoni Czarnecki

OGRZEWANIE Z całego serca dziękujemy za ofiary w wysokości $250: od państwa Skałeckich, państwa Kuzneckich oraz Lorence Santos. Złożone ofiary zwiększyły pulę zebranych środków do $39310. Niech Boże błogosławieństwo będzie nad Wami!

KONCERT CHÓRÓW Chociaż okres liturgiczny Bożego Narodzenia zakończył się Chrztem Pańskim, jego znaczenie i piękno, zwłaszcza melodie kolęd, wciąż rozbrzmiewają w naszych sercach. W polskiej tradycji śpiew świątecznych kolęd tradycyjnie sięga 2 lutego, do święta Ofiarowania Pańskiego. Na całym świecie organizowane są różne koncerty przed i po świętach Bożego Narodzenia, ze względu na dużą popularność i antycypację tego wyjątkowego świętego czasu w roku. Bazylika św. Józefa będzie gospodarzem wiodących chórów z Nowej Anglii w niedzielę, 21 stycznia o godz. 14:30. Obecne będą chóry z parafii Matki Bożej Częstochowskiej w Worcester i Bostonie, a także chór św. Jana Chrzciciela z Salem wraz z naszym chórem parafialnym. Przedstawią one najbardziej popularne kolędy w różnorodnych aranżacjach.

WIADOMOŚCI SZKOLNE W niedzielę, 28 stycznia, o godz. 9.30, w łączności z całym krajem, rozpoczniemy obchody Tygodnia Szkół Katolickich.. Tematem tegorocznych obchodów jest hasło: Szkoły Katolickie - nauka, służba, prowadzenie i sukces. Celem tego dorocznego obchodu jest uświadomienie i lepsze zrozumienie znaczenia katolickiej edukacji. Biskup McManus będzie głównym celebransem i kaznodzieją na Mszy św. Ta data zbiega się z obchodami Narodowego Tygodnia Migracji. Uprzejmie prosimy wszystkich uczniów z różnych środowisk kulturowych, aby wzięli udział w procesji na wejście z flagami swoich ojczystych krajów i w tradycyjnych strojach. Po Mszy św. uczniowie, nauczyciele i pracownicy organizują Dzień Otwartych Drzwi od 11:00 do 13:00, prezentując pracę naszych uczniów na temat: Igrzyska Olimpijskie. Na uczestników będzię również czekać poczęstunek i różne atrakcje. W środę, 31 stycznia, od 17:00 do 19:00 - HSA będzie gospodarzem dorocznej kolacji Spaghetti. Kolacja jest przygotowywana przez Rycerzy Kolumba i składa się ze spaghetti i klopsików, sałatki, pieczywa czosnkowego i deseru. Koszt wynosi tylko $5 dla dorosłych i $3 dla dzieci. Bilety są dostępne w szkole.
