Cyril & Methodius Parish “United in Faith” From the Pastor’s Desk The intelligent leaders of First Century Judaism really thought they had Jesus this time. They started with their compliments toward him and eventually came the real question, “Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not.” If he said that it is not lawful to pay the tax, then he would instantly be arrested as a rebel and zealot, an enemy of Rome, part of the Jewish resistance movement. If he said that it was lawful to pay the tax, he would be exposed as a supporter of pagans, not a true Jew but a collaborator with Rome. They really had him this time. Or so they thought. In one phrase, Jesus demonstrated how a person should choose in matters of religion and state: “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and unto God what is God’s.” And they went away marveling, knowing that they had underestimated Jesus’ wisdom. Jesus’ response to the Pharisees confronts them and us with the demand to act out of our deepest convictions and take responsibility for those actions whether we are leaders or followers, whether we identify ourselves at a particular moment as Christians or as citizens. There is no doubt, a good Christian should be a good citizen. A good Christian should be willing to stand up for and even fight for the values that make a country great: freedom, liberty, the rights of people, particularly the rights of the neediest of our society. As patriotic Americans, we need to participate in the affairs of our government responsibly and intelligently so that our public policies may reflect the wisdom and justice of God. Jesus’ response tells us that one’s citizenship does not have to be at odds with one’s faith. The Pharisees had it all wrong. There is no dilemma between the choice of Caesar or God. At least, there is no dilemma when we are determined to instill, foster and support morality in the actions of our government. Yes, we have to keep a watchful eye on laws that we are governed by and never allow to face a choice between God and human’s laws. The letter must always flow from the first and this way peace and tranquility of all will be secured. And now a few things I want you to know: Please continue to reserve your seats for our 130th Anniversary Dinner Dance that will take place on Saturday, November 8th. The solemn Mass will begin at 4:30 PM led by Bishop October 19, 2014 Gorman who will bless the new altar, the ambo and the baptismal font as well as our new pews and floor in thanksgiving to God for the renovation completed. Please plan to attend prior to the banquet. The renovation of the side altars is completed. The Sacred Heart Altar was sponsored by Kathy and Chester Tomala and their family and the Altar of Our Lady of Grace was sponsored by members of the Altar and Rosary Society of our parish. The work at the high altar has started and is expected to be completed before the anniversary celebration on November 8th. The high altar is sponsored by an anonymous family of SS. Cyril & Methodius Parish. Thank you all for your generosity. Our next Parish Council meeting will be held this Monday, October 20th at 7 PM and our Finance Committee meeting will be this coming Tuesday at 7 PM. Both meetings will take place at the Rectory.

Thank you to the talented and dedicated team of junior high teachers who prepared them so well; especially to Mrs. Denise Coules who organized and accompanied our students to the event. We also thank the parents of the competing students for their help. Our entire school is so very proud of them! All students from grades K-8 recently completed their first reading and math assessments. These are very short tests done on an individual basis with the teacher. Our staff examines the results and uses them to help guide instruction within the school. We dedicated the Week of October 6th - 10th to go over safety procedures within our school. On the 6th, we were joined by the Lemont Fire Department for a special fire safety presentation. We also practiced a bus evacuation with District 113A on that same day. Wednesday, the 8th, had us practicing a fire drill and on Friday, October 10th the entire staff participated in an Armed Intruder Drill with the Lemont Police Department. The drill helps everyone to be better prepared in an emergency situation. Please join us on every Monday morning in the gym as we begin our week in prayer. We are honoring our Blessed Mother during the month of October and praying the rosary together. Mark your calendar for Friday, November 7th.

October 19, 2014 Tri-Parish Anointing of the Sick Bilingual Mass On Saturday, November 15th, SS. Cyril & Methodius Parish will celebrate the Anointing of the Sick at the 11 AM Mass. This will be a bilingual (English-Polish) Mass. We extend an invitation to those in our Tri-Parish Family who feel that the Celebration of Anointing will provide help for them in sickness and aging of their bodies. In the past, the anointing was done near the time of death. Theology today understands anointing as the Sacrament of the Sick rather that at the time of approaching death. The Anointing of the Sick is the prayer of Christ and His Church for the physical and spiritual health of the sick person. Who may be anointed? A sick person may be anointed before he/she undergoes surgery, whether or not the surgery is serious. Persons with chronic illness. Older persons, even if they are not suffering from dangerous illness. Mentally disabled persons and chemically dependent persons. A sick child may be anointed in order to be comforted and uplifted by the Sacrament. After the Mass, there will be a luncheon for all those who attend in our school gym. In order for us to prepare for this luncheon, we ask that you RSVP by calling Trish at 630-257-9314 or emailing her at religed@stcyril.org no later than Wednesday, November 5th. You can also fill out the form below and return it in the collection basket. ——————————–——————————–—— Anointing of the Sick Luncheon RSVP Name: ________________________________________ How many will attend: __________________________ Please RSVP no later than November 5th.

Moczygemba helped to found the Polish Roman Catholic Union of America. Later, he would serve as the President of this organization. In 1880, after returning from his assignment as a Vatican confessor, he served two years at St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish in Chicago. In 1882, he was appointed the Pastor of St. Adolphus in Lemont. The rapidly growing Polish population in the area caused the Archbishop of Chicago to ask Fr. Moczygemba to establish a separate congregation for the Poles. By June, 1883, the new parishioners voted to build a new church to be named SS. Cyril & Methodius. The first mass in the new church was held on Palm Sunday, 1884. Twice he was "borrowed" from the American church to serve as a multilingual confessor at the Vatican. He took advantage of one of these periods in Rome to petition Pope Leo XIII for permission to start a "Polish Seminary." On the strength of this permission, Father Joseph Dabrowski, with ongoing support from Fr. Moczygemba, was able to establish the SS. Cyril & Methodius Seminary at Orchard Lake, Michigan. Since 1886, over a thousand priests have graduated from this seminary. Polish American Catholics were the special people of his ministry and his 44 years of priestly life. Father Moczygemba died in Detroit in 1891 and for a time his grave was all but forgotten. But then a grateful people remembered him and his remains were transferred back to Panna Maria, Texas in 1974. Page Nine SS.

Cyril & Methodius Parish “United in Faith” Drodzy Parafianie, W pierwszym wieku przywódcy Żydowscy myśleli, że będą mogli Jezusa podchwycić w mowie. Zaczeli oni od komplementów, a następnie zadali pytanie, "Czy wolno płacić podatek Cezarowi, czy nie?" Jeśli odpowiedziałby, że nie powinno się płacić podatków, zostałby natychmiast aresztowany jako buntownik, fanatyk i wróg Rzymu, uczestnik ruchu oporu Żydów. Natomiast, jeśli odpowiedziałby, że należy płacić podatki, oskarżyliby Go, że jest zwolennikiem pogan, nie prawdziwym Żydem lecz współpracownikiem Rzymu. Myśleli, że tym razem mają Go w garści. Jezus w jednym zdaniu powiedział jakich wyborów człowiek powinien dokonywać w sprawach religii i sprawach państwa. "Oddajcie więc Cezarowi to, co należy do Cezara, a Bogu to, co należy do Boga." Odeszli nie mogąc się nadziwić i wiedząc, że nie docenili mądrości Jezusa. Odpowiedź Jezusa jaką udzielił faryzeuszom pokazuje im, jak również i nam potrzbę działania zgodną z naszymi najgłębszymi przekonaniami i wzięcia za nie odpowiedzialności, nie ważne czy jesteśmy przywódcami czy też zwolennikami i nie ważne czy w danym momencie identyfikujemy się jako chrześcijanie czy też obywatele. Nie ma wątpliwości, że dobry chrześcijanin powinien być dobrym obywatelem. Dobry chrześcijanin powinien być gotów stanąć, a nawet walczyć w obronie wartości, które sprawiają, że ten kraj jest wielki: wolność, prawa człowieka, a szczególnie prawa tych najbardziej potrzebujących w naszym społeczeństwie. Jako Amerykanie, musimy mądrze i odpowiedzialnie brać udział w sprawach naszego rządu tak, aby polityka publiczna odzwierciedlała Bożą mądrość i sprawiedliwość. Odpowiedź Jezusa mówi nam, że obywatelstwo nie musi być sprzeczne z wiarą. Faryzeusze nie mieli racji. Nie ma dylematu w wyborze pomiędzy Cezarem, a Bogiem. Przynajmniej nie ma dylematu, kiedy jesteśmy zdeterminowani, aby zaszczepiać, pielęgnować i wspierać moralność w działaniach naszego rządu. Tak, ciągle musimy pilnować praw, którymi jesteśmy rządzeni i nigdy nie dopuścić, abyśmy musieli dokonać wyboru pomiędzy Bogiem, a ludzkimi ustawami.
