MISSION STATEMENT
St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish praises God through Jesus, Mary
and the saints, as the central focus of our spiritual community.
We welcome all people into our faith community
through the celebration of sacraments especially
Eucharist, Baptisms, Weddings and the
November
Sacramental, especially Funerals, Blessings
and Devotions. We work to preserve
the ethnic and historical traditions
of our community, and to share
with others the richness of our
heritage and culture. We
share and grow in understanding of the Gospel
message as we practice the charity
through good
works and
service to
1124 Hudson Ave.,
others.

XXXIII Sunday in Ordinary Time
Which of the three people in today’s Gospel do you resemble? Are you enterprising and full of initiative, or are you rather
fearful and hesitant? This Gospel is the story of each of us. We
are generally afraid to challenge and trust ourselves to change and
grow. Rather than changing things that we know should be
changed, we cling to what we know and thus feel secure. We
learn to live with the nagging sense that things could be better, if
only we put in the time and the effort to do something about our
lives. Sadly, we take our most precious gifts, our life, our talent
and our faith, and put them away for safekeeping. People who are
open to the invitations that life brings, find that the results are
worth the risks. Whatever risks we take in this life, the Lord is the
one who journeys with us in these ventures. He himself is the
food for our journey. He himself is our guide in whom we must
place our trust.
Parish Hospitality - Greeters!
We need your smile ~ to greet our
parishioners, families, friends and visitors! The
holidays will soon be here, we want those who come to worship
and pray to feel welcomed and part of our community. You never
know when a kind word and a bright smile will lift a person’s
spirit or draw someone who has ‘drifted’ away from the church
back to God. The ‘job description’ for this ministry is easy:
 Arrive about 20 minutes before Mass and pick up the
Parish Hospitality badge in the sacristy.
 Choose your ‘favorite’ church entrance.
 Hand out Missalettes (and any other flyers that are out).
 When Mass is about to begin, go to your ‘favorite’ pew
and thank God for ALL the blessings He is bestowing on
you.
 You can do it just one Mass a month or every week!
If you are interested, call the rectory at 467-3068 or just stop in by
November 21st.
PS… This is a GREAT way for children and their families to
help serve our parish community!
Enjoy Breakfast with Us this Sunday!
Please join Polish School after both masses this
Sunday November 16th for breakfast. We will have
homemade Naleśniki (crepes) and also soup will be
available. This is our annual fundraiser for books for our
students. Come support us and enjoy a wonderful breakfast.

Annual Thanksgiving/Holiday Food Drive:
Just ONE Can (or Box or Bag!!!)
Oct. 20th thru Dec. 21st
The holidays are FAST approaching! Many of us anxiously
await these special holidays in anticipation of the delicious foods
we will share with our families. The poor and those in need are
just hoping for a hot meal. This Thanksgiving and Christmas let
us help to set their tables with bountiful foods to share with their
loved ones! ‘Shopping lists’ are available on the altar railings and
at the back of the church.
Although ALL food items are appreciated, the most critical
items needed are: rice and beans (2, 3 or 5lb. bags/boxes) ,
crackers, peanut butter, jelly, boxes of stuffing and potatoes,
gravy, canned/powdered milk, cereal, canned fruits and
vegetables.
Thank you for living the Corporal Works of Mercy
by feeding the hungry!
Jesse Tree - Giving to those in Need: November 15
thru December 7
The annual outreach for those in need during the
Christmas holidays is starting. We will be supporting
children, teens and adults with disabilities who are
receiving assistance from Catholic Charities. We will
be collecting items for general distribution for
Christmas as well as throughout the year.
Take an ornament from the Jesse Tree. Stars have
items needed for teens and adults, and the Hearts
have items needed for children of all ages.
No need to wrap the items! The organization needs to ‘see’
what the gifts are to better match them to their clients. All items
MUST be under the Jesse Tree by Sunday, December 7th.
Please Pray for……
Please pray for all those in hospitals, who are ill or recovering
from surgery, and all those ailing at home, in hospice or in
nursing homes. Please keep in your prayers: Marilyn Adams,

CMAngels Tidbit:
XXXIII Niedziela Zwykła
Bóg w swojej wielkiej miłości nieustannie nas obdarowuje.
Otrzymujemy od Niego cały szereg talentów. Talent, jest to jakieś
szczególne uzdolnienie, coś, co pomaga nam osiągnąć
zamierzony cel. Naszym celem jest niebo, przebywanie w
Komunii z Bogiem. Zatem talenty, którymi Bóg nas obdarowuje,
to przede wszystkim życie wieczne, które otrzymujemy w
momencie chrztu świętego. Dalej talentem jest łaska Boża, która
nieustannie nam towarzyszy, wiara, charyzmaty, czyli
dary Ducha Świętego, a wreszcie sam Duch, który w nas mieszka.
Owe talenty możemy przyjąć i je pomnażać. Ale możemy
owe talenty zakopać głęboko w ziemi. Pytanie tylko, czy warto?
Poświęcenie Świec Adwentowych
Pierwsza Niedziela Adwentu przypada 29-30
listopada i w tym czasie można przynieść swoje wianki
i świece adwentowe do kościoła aby Ks. Roman je
poświęcił. Mała ilość jest to sprzedania w poniedziałek
24 listopada w Rel. Ed. Center o 6:15 wieczorem albo na plebanii
w godzinach urzędowych.
