Dear Parishioners, The Feasts of All Saints and All Souls help us to look to the exemplary people of faith who have helped us un-derstand what Christian spirituality means and how to apply it to our daily lives. The great intellects, the peo-ple of deep mystical prayer, and the ones who brought people together in community despite hatred and bigot-ry witness the spiritual non-negotiables. The spiritual non-negotiables – the importance of community worship, the imperatives surrounding social ac-tion, and the centrality of our belief that God became one of us to set us free to serve, were made manifest by this cloud of witnesses, human beings like ourselves. The canonized saints and even our respected deceased relatives help us answer the question that haunts us all, “What is spirituality?” In the lives of the people we admire, we see how we are to channel that inner restlessness, those deep desires that gnaw at us all, into a healthy spirituality. The great men and women of our faith push us to move beyond a private faith concerned with only our family and close friends to one that challenges us to put our faith into action by helping those in need and building solidarity and peace among all. Christ calls us to justice beyond private charity. Christ’s merciful love enables us to seek an increasing engagement with the broader society in order to bring Him into the world. Private charity responds to the homeless and the wounded, which is good and noble, but it does not try to get at the reasons that created the homeless, the wounded, and very sadly at times, death. Social justice asks us to go up stream to find out the systems and structures which perpetuate these injustices. Perhaps in the distant past good people focused on their own simple lives, but today we know more about these atrocities with our 24-hour news cycle. Today, we can travel and understand with clarity the political, economic, and social systems that are unfair and wounding to many across the globe. Today we know and see for ourselves, sometimes on live TV, the starving skeletal bodies of innocent refugee men, women, and chil-dren, the bullet riddled so called “dissident,” or even the gruesome beheading and dismemberment of a cap-tured journalist. Yes, today, we know more. Because we know more, because we can see with our own eyes, we are to awaken to the call to social justice. This profound awareness forces us to be people of truth and transformative energy. As people of truth, we look to shape our worldview and more importantly our daily choices in line with the Gospel message. Money, power, personal and political gain are not the ultimate factors in making our deci-sions -- rather, we put our energy into making the world a little better for those who have no voice. Father Ronald Rolheiser reminds us, “In the world's schema of things, survival of the fittest is the rule. In God's schema of things, survival of the weakest is the rule. God always stands on the side of the weak and it is there, among the weak, that we find God.” Please reflect on the candidates running for elected office. Please pray over your choices and then vote with the mind and heart of Jesus. Father Mike Meany


Drodzy parafianie, Święta Wszystkich Świętych i Dzień Zaduszny pomagają nam patrzeć na przykładowych ludzi wiary, którzy pomogli nam zrozumieć, co oznacza chrześcijańska duchowość i jak zastosować ją w naszym codziennym życiu. Wielkie intelekty, ludzie głębokiej mistycznej modlitwy i ci, którzy jednoczyli ludzi we wspólnocie, pomimo nienawiści i bigoterii, są świadkami duchowej niezniszczalności. Duchowa niezbywalność - znaczenie kultu we wspólnocie, imperatywy otaczające działania społeczne i centralne przekonanie, że Bóg stał się jednym z nas, aby dać nam wolność służenia, zostały objawione przez ten obłok świadków, ludzi takich jak my . Kanonizowani święci, a nawet nasi drodzy zmarli krewni pomagają nam odpowiedzieć na pytanie, które prześladuje nas wszystkich: "Czym jest duchowość?" W życiu ludzi, których podziwiamy, widzimy, jak mamy kierować tym wewnętrznym niepokojem, tymi głębokimi pragnieniami, które nurtują naszą zdrową duchowość. Wielcy mężczyźni i kobiety naszej wiary pchają nas do wyjścia poza prywatną sferę wiary, która dotyczy tylko naszej rodziny i bliskich przyjaciół, która wzywa nas do wcielenia w życie naszej wiary, pomagając potrzebującym oraz budując solidarność i pokój wśród wszystkich. Chrystus wzywa nas do sprawiedliwości poza prywatną miłością. Miłosierna miłość Chrystusa pozwala nam poszukiwać coraz większego zaangażowania w szersze społeczeństwo, aby ponownie ukazać Go na światu. Prywatne akcje charytatywne pomagaja bezdomnym i potrzebującym, co jest dobre i szlachetne, ale nie starają się znaleźć przyczyn, które stworzyły bezdomnych, potrzebujących, a czasami bardzo smutnych czy bliskich śmierci ludzi. Sprawiedliwość społeczna prosi nas, abyśmy podążali w górę, aby ukazać systemy i struktury, które utrwalają te niesprawiedliwości. Być może w odległej przeszłości dobrzy ludzie skupili się na własnym prostym życiu, ale dziś wiemy więcej o tych okrucieństwach w naszym 24-godzinnym cyklu informacyjnym. Dziś możemy podróżować i zrozumieć z jasnością systemy polityczne, gospodarcze i społeczne, które są niesprawiedliwe i rania wiele osób na całym świecie. Dziś wiemy i widzimy, czesto w telewizji na żywo, głodujących niewinnych uchodźców, mężczyzn, kobiet i dzieci, tak zwanych "dysydentów", a nawet makabryczne ścięcie i rozczłonkowanie schwytanego dziennikarza. Tak, dzisiaj wiemy więcej. Ponieważ wiemy więcej i widzimy na własne oczy powinnismy przebudzić się do wezwania sprawiedliwości społecznej. Ta głęboka świadomość zmusza nas do bycia ludźmi prawdy i transformującej energii. Jako ludzie prawdy, chcemy kształtować nasz światopogląd i, co ważniejsze, nasze codzienne wybory zgodne z przesłaniem Ewangelii. Pieniądz, władza, osobiste i polityczne korzyści nie są najważniejszymi czynnikami w podejmowaniu decyzji - raczej wkładajmy naszą energię w uczynienie świata trochę lepszym dla tych, którzy nie mają głosu. Ojciec Ronald Rolheiser przypomina nam: "W światowym schemacie rzeczy, przetrwanie najsilniejszych jest regułą. W Bożym schemacie rzeczy przetrwanie najsłabszych jest regułą. Bóg zawsze stoi po stronie słabych i zawsze pośród słabych, znajdujemy Boga. " Proszę zastanowić się nad kandydatami kandydującymi na wybrany urząd. Proszę, módlcie się o swoje własne wybory, a następnie głosujcie umysłem i sercem Jezusa. Ks. Mike Meany

Pi sburgh Grieves, We Grieve with our Brothers and Sisters in Faith. Pittsburg w żalobie, łaczymy sie w smutku I żalu z naszymi Bracmi I Siostrami w wierze.

Tree Of Life Synagogue Anti-Semitic Shooting We mourn the death of the 11 people who were mem-bers of the Tree of Life Synagogue, Pittsburgh, PA, last Saturday, October 27. The victims, ages ranged from 54 to 97 years old -- brothers, an elderly couple, people with family and friends -- Richard Gottfried, 65, Rose Malinger, 97, Joyce Fienberg, 75, Jerry Rabinowitz, 66, Cecil and David Rosenthal, 59 and 54, Bernice and Syl-van Simon, 84 and 86, Daniel Stein, 71, Melvin Wax, 88, Irving Younger, 69. People very much like us, believers in God and commu-nity, dedicated to living in right relationship with every-one. Please pray for their families, pray for the Jewish com-munity around the globe and all those touched by this tragedy. Pray for the first responders, the doctors, psy-chologists, family and friends, neighbors, and co-workers who are filled with sadness and confusion. Remember, Jesus was a Jew, as were Mary and Joseph and all Jesus' first followers. We call ourselves Judeo-Christian. Jesus was killed by individuals motivated by political, cultural, and religious beliefs who felt threat-ed and had a bias against him and not by the Jewish reli-gion per-se or its people as a whole. While in the past, the church contributed to this hatred by saying the “Jews killed Jesus,” since Vatican II this is no longer the case and what I stated is official church teaching. Hate has no place in our conversations and practices. Anti-Semitic sentiments and racial prejudice against African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, refugees, immi-grants, or any kind of discrimination is just plain evil. We all know better, there is no excuse. When a person keeps quiet or when someone makes a so called “joke” or “comment,” that person is part of the problem. When someone makes state-ments that are incendiary and they are encouraged by others as if the behavior doesn't matter, the peo-ple who could have denounced the statement are guilty, too. It's not a matter of political correctness; it is about obeying the command to “love thy neighbor as thyself.”

When you say nothing as hatred comes forth from a person's lips, you allow the spark of hatred to ignite. When an individual plays on the fears of others and leads them along the path of falsehood, that individual has to share in the culpability when the flame of ha-tred spreads. It's plain wrong, let's not fool ourselves. Hate is hate, lying and manipulation is evil and pro-motes evil. Do we need a safety plan and some common sense security? Yes, but let’s be clear. The right ideology, or more guns, in the end will not eradicate these prob-lems. We need hope, personal integrity, charity, and prayer. Plenty of prayer. Please pray for our country. Father Mike Meany ————————————————————— Synagoga Drzewa Zycia Antysemicki Atak . Opłakujemy śmierć 11 osób, które były członkami Synagogi Drzewa Życia, w Pittsburghu, w ostatnią sobotę, 27 października. Wiek pokrzywdzonych wahał się od 54 do 97 lat - bracia, starsza para, ludzie z rodziną i przyjaciółmi - Richard Gottfried, 65 lat, Rose Malinger, 97, Joyce Fienberg, 75, Jerry Rabinowitz, 66, Cecil i David Rosenthal, 59 i 54, Bernice i Sylvan Simon, 84 i 86, Daniel Stein, 71, Melvin Wax, 88, Irving Younger, 69. Ludzie bardzo do nas podobni, wierzący w Boga i wspólnotę, oddani życiu we właściwej relacji ze wszystkimi. Proszę, módlcie się za ich rodziny, módlcie się za społeczność żydowską na całym świecie i wszystkich tych, którzy zostali dotknięci tą tragedią. Módlcie się za pierwszych reagujących lekarzy, psychologów, rodziny i przyjaciół, sąsiadów i współpracowników, którzy są wypełnieni smutkiem i zamieszaniem


Pamiętajcie, że Jezus był Żydem, podobnie jak Maryja i Józef i wszyscy pierwsi naśladowcy Jezusa. Nazywamy siebie Judeo-Christian. Jezus został zabity przez osoby motywowane przez polityczne, kulturowe i religijne wierzenia, które były zagrożone i miały stronniczość przeciwko niemu, a nie przez religię żydowską lub jej ludzi jako całość. Podczas gdy w przeszłości kościół przyczynił się do tej nienawiści, mówiąc: "Żydzi zabili Jezusa", od II Soboru Watykańskiego to już nie ma miejsca i to, co oświadczyłem, jest oficjalnym nauczaniem kościoła Nienawiść nie ma miejsca w naszych rozmowach i praktykach. Uczucia antysemickie i uprzedzenia rasowe wobec Afroamerykanów, Azjatów, Latynosów, uchodźców, imigrantów lub jakiejkolwiek dyskryminacji są po prostu złe. Wszyscy wiemy, że dla takich zachowań nie ma usprawiedliwienia. Kiedy dana osoba nie reaguje, kiedy niektórzy nazywają to "żartem" lub "komentarzem", ta osoba staje się częścią problemu. Kiedy ktoś czyni prowokujące oświadczenia zachęcany przez innych, tak jakby to zachowanie nie miało znaczenia, również jest winny. To nie jest kwestia poprawności politycznej; chodzi o posłuszeństwo przykazaniu "kochaj bliźniego swego jak siebie samego". Kiedy nie protestujesz, jak nienawiść wyłania się z ust drugiej osoby, pozwalasz zapalić iskrę nienawiści. Kiedy jednostka bawi się lękiem innych prowadząc ich na ścieżke fałszu, ta osoba ponosi winę, gdy rozprzestrzenia się płomień nienawiści. To jest złe, nie oszukujmy się. Nienawiść jest nienawiścią,kłamstwo jest kłamstwem i manipulacja jest złem i promuje zło. Czy potrzebujemy planu bezpieczeństwa i zdrowego rozsądku? Tak, ale bądźmy czyści. Właściwa ideologia lub więcej broni nie wyeliminuje tych problemów. Potrzebujemy nadziei, osobistej uczciwości, miłości i modlitwy. Dużo modlitwy. Proszę, módlcie się za nasz kraj. Ksiadz Mike Meany

Statement of Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, on

the Tragedy at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh

October 28, 2018 We reach out through our grief and shock to our Jew-ish brothers and sisters and with them offer our pray-ers to the Almighty, the God of Abraham. We pray for healing of those caught in this madness as they gathered in their sanctuary to honor the Sab-bath and rejoice at the naming of an infant. Let us also condemn in the strongest terms this anti-Semitic act of depravity and the rhetoric, heartless-ness and apathy that have allowed hatred to flourish in our society. Make no mistake. Words incubate evil and allow it space to be accepted. Words that give voice to fear-mongering that causes people to arm themselves against anyone who is “other.” And it will take more than words to stop this predict-able maelstrom of hostility and violence that threat-ens to change our nation. Faced with the horror at the Tree of Life Synagogue our resolve should be to take action. Let us come to-gether in prayer and remembrance, but also in com-mon cause to find ways to stand against anti-Semitism and all similar hatred. This is a war waged against decency and only by working together, recognizing each other’s God-given rights, will society grow in peace and justice. As Abraham Lincoln said in speaking of the need for national healing, "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right.” We affirm the hope found in the words of the mourners’ Kaddish, “He who creates peace in His celestial heights, may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.”

MINISTERS OF CARE NEEDED! Our Ministry of Care group is looking for more people to join them in helping those homebound be able to receive the Holy Eucha-rist. We are blessed to have 14 ministers of care and can certainly use more.. This a very rewarding ministry. The visits take about 12 to 15 minutes, and consist of saying a short prayer and distributing Com-munion to our parishioners that request it. Fr. Przemek will be offering training sessions (about 3) to enable you to become a Minister of Care. Please consider! More details to follow soon. If you have any questions, please call the parish office at 847-966-8145, or fill out the following application, drop in collection basket or bring to the Parish Office Thank you!

SJB Children’s Liturgy of the Word

Children's Liturgy of the Word is a worship experience geared especially for children ages 6 -10. It is a special opportunity for children to understand and appreciate Scripture at Sunday Mass. Basically, after the opening prayer (Collect) at the 10:45 a.m. English Mass and 12:30 p.m. Polish Mass, the chil-dren are invited to come forward with two adult Catechists and go to the Music Room in Church to participate in their own Liturgy of the Word. Children’s Liturgy of the Word offers an experience for children to hear Scripture in words they understand and to share their own understanding of God's word. The children return to the main parish assembly for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. We warmly invite all children in the parish to participate in the Children’s Liturgy of the Word. All parents, please encourage your children to join when a clergy invite them to come forward to hear the Good News. The Children’s Liturgy of the Word ministry will continue until June of 2019. We welcome all of our children ages 6 - 10 to partic-ipate in their own Liturgy of the Word! If you are interested in this ministry, please contact Maciek Karaban at 847-966-3269. Thank you!!!

Human Dignity and Solidarity The Archdiocese of Chicago's Office of Human Dignity and Solidarity forms and accompanies the people of the Archdiocese of Chicago as they respond to the Gospel call, to recognize the dignity of all life and be in solidarity with our sisters and brothers on the margins. By doing this, we transform the lives of others through service as Christ's missionary disciples. All life is sacred from conception until natural death. The person is not only sacred but also social. How we organize our society — in economics and politics, in law and policy — directly affects human dignity and the capacity of individuals to grow in community. Marriage and the family are the central social institutions that must be supported and strengthened, not undermined. We believe people have a right and a duty to participate in society, seeking together the common good and well-being of all, especially the poor and vulnerable. In the next weeks, we will provide more information about the important activities relating to human dignity and solidarity. Please visit the home page of our website for information and links: www.sjbrebeuf.org.

BINGO KITCHEN HELP WANTED! The Holy Name Men’s Club sponsors SJB monthly Bingo on Sunday afternoon. It is a very successful fundraiser for our parish. We are looking for parish groups to host a monthly kitchen for this on-going parish fundraiser. If your group is interested in participating (scouts, youth, school, seniors, etc.), the choice of the menu is up to you. This would be a good opportunity for your group to sell items that you are using for your fund-raising (candy, cookies, Christmas etc.). Please contact HNMC president, Dennis O’ Donavan 847-744-2927.

Did you know...? The Archdiocese of Chicago's Code of Conduct is a resource filled with information about what is or is not appropriate behavior around children and vulnerable adults. It is much more than just something to sign quick-ly every few years and forget about. All employees and volunteers are encouraged to keep this document and to read it regularly. The Code of Conduct, along with all VIRTUS forms and instructions for employee and volunteer compliance, can be found at www.sjbrebeuf.org/virtus. Please contact the parish office if you have questions. Thank you for all that you do to make our parish a safe environment for children and vulnerable adults.

A Few Words About Wills….. A well-prepared Will is a statement of faith, hope and love. St. John Brebeuf Parish would consider it a privilege to be mentioned in your Will. For more information, please contact the Parish Office at 847-966-3266
