Our church is Baltimore’s Premier Polish-American Roman Catholic parish and has become the center of Polish religious, cultural, and social life. Our parish is a place where Polish values are proclaimed and upheld and also a place where Poles and non-Poles can express fully their delity to God. We are not in any sense a closed community, and we welcome all Americans and all ethnic groups in our church. A key Polish value is openness to the universal mission of the Church, and thus we try to make our church which is also the Archdiocesan Shrine of Divine Mercy a place in which our friends and neighbors of non-Polish background can feel comfortable practicing their Catholic faith.

2017 ARCHBISHOP’S ANNUAL
APPEAL
COMMITTMENT WEEKEND
This week, Catholics across the
Archdiocese are being asked to
make a commitment to support the 2017
Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. Ministries
supported by the Appeal have a direct impact
on the administration and evangelization
efforts at Holy Rosary as well as at the other
parishes in our Archdiocese. Your generous
support and participation is critical to the
success of the 2017 Archbishop’s Annual
Appeal at Holy Rosary and helps move us
forward in hope as we seek to better embody
the Gospel message in our lives. Please
complete a pledge form or pledge online at
www.archbalt.org/appeal.
We are asking parishioners to make a
commitment to prayerfully reflect on the
generousity of God in their lives and to
decide upon a suitable gift to reflect their
appreciation for God’s gifts. Finally,
regardless of the ability to make a gift or
pledge of support, to pray for the success of
the 2017 Archbishop Annual Appeal, for all
those who have volunteered their time and
talents to further the mission, and for the
countless individuals and families among us
who rely on the Appeal for material and
spiritual sustenance.
In the Scripture…
Our Mission Is to Make a Difference for Others.
Jesus chose his words carefully - including the
words we just listened to. They are part of his
famous Sermon on the Mount, which is like
a highlight film of all his sermons. In this sec-
tion, he is explaining to his followers what
he expects of them. It is like a coach talking to
his players before the big game - but this
is Jesus talking to us about the game of life it-
self. It is like a general instructing his troops be-
fore a big battle - but this is Jesus talking
to us about the battle of life. He is giving us
our life-mission. And what is that life-mission?
To be salt and light for the world around us.
Salt had two functions in the ancient world: it
gave flavor to food, and it also preserved food.
They didn't have refrigerators back then, so they
would preserve meat by putting a thin layer of
salt over it. Light had the same function then as
it does now: to push back the darkness. But in
the ancient world, before the advent of electrici-
ty, darkness was a much more dramatic reali-
ty than it is to us. The ancients understood
how helpless they were without a lamp. We, on
the other hand, because electric lighting
is everywhere, rarely even have to think about
our need for light. Salt and light - these are the
comparisons Jesus uses to explain our life-
mission. And what is the common characteris-
tic of salt and light? They are both for some-
thing else. Their purpose is not self-centered,
but other-centered. And that's the point. A
Christian's mission in the world, just like
Christ's mission, is to make a positive differ-
ence for others, by bringing them the power and
the illumination of the gospel.
