A dog is a man's best friend. Yes, well, maybe not. While we get quite attached to our pets and other animal friends, it is other persons who are our real friends. "That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one flesh." The best marriages, according to studies, are ones in which the husband and wife view each other as equals and share equally in the running of the home and the family. Tasks and decisions are shared, and there is agreement on the raising of children and they always have each other's back when the little ones like to push their buttons. "If Daddy says no ask Mommy." Oh no! You don't get away with that trick, little one! Couples who have been married many years, have seen their children grow up and have seen their grandchildren and even great-grandchildren, are often seen happily conversing and holding hands in their nursing homes or other residences. It's that lifelong respect for the other that keeps a marriage happy, despite the occasional disagreement. Respect is key. If this respect is missing, especially from the beginning, perhaps a true marriage did not exist. This is a mystery we deal with in sincere prayer.

Letter From Pastor
I thank all of you who came and supported the Parish Carnival last week. It was a tremendous success. Even though Thursday was rainy, the people still came out and enjoyed the evening. God blessed us with beautiful weather on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Everyone seemed to have a great time. I particularly want to thank the Carnival Committee and all the dedicated volunteers who gave of their time and talent. To watch them work together so efficiently inspired me. They gave their all to serve the parish and the community. We will give you a financial report as soon as all the bills are paid.
October is Polish American Heritage Month. Our Girls Scouts, the Polish Language School and the Polish Scouts will participate in the Pulaski Day Parade that will take place next Sunday, at 12:00 on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The parade can also be viewed on Channel 6, beginning at 12:30. Plan to come and watch the parade in Center City (or on television). Our parish – along with the Polish Beneficial Association will be walking.
The next big social event in the parish will be the Christmas Bazaar on November 9th and 10th. We are asking for donations of new toys for our Toy Booth There will be large boxes placed at all the door entrances of the Church next Sunday where you may place your donated toy. We thank you in advance for your generosity.
Our Forty Hours Devotion will begin on Sunday, October 21st. More information will be given next weekend.
On Wednesday, October 17th, at 7:00 P.M., we will once again have the Living Rosary recited in our Church. We invite you to come be a “bead” as you hold a candle and form a “living rosary” around our Church. Please use the sign in sheet in the back of Church or call the Rectory if you would like to participate. Even if you make up your mind to come at the last minute, please join us for this very inspiring evening of prayer. We invite families to come and hold a candle together.
In my busyness last week, I completely forgot about the blessing of the pets in honor of St. Francis of Assisi last week. His feast day was on October 4th. We will bless your pets in the parking lot behind the Church this Saturday, October 13th, at 9:00 AM.
May the Lord bless you and may you enjoy this Autumn weather.
OUR DYNAMIC CATHOLIC THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: “The presence of Jesus in her life allowed Mary to constantly see things in the context of love and humility. If we ask her to accompany us in our journey, she will share this perspective with us, and we will discover the true value of things.”
HOW ABOUT A SECOND THOUGHT?: “Prayer doesn’t change God; prayer changes us. It’s not about convincing him of our will; it’s about surrendering to his will.”

Are YOU a “Dynamic Catholic”?

List od Proboszcza Dziękuję wszystkim, którzy przyszli i wsparli nasz karnawał parafialny w zeszłym tygodniu. Był ogromnym sukcesem. Mimo że czwartek był deszczowy, ludzie nadal przychodzili i cieszyli się wieczorem. Bóg pobłogosławił nas piękną pogodą w piątek, sobotę i niedzielę. Dzieci i dorosli się świetnie bawili. Szczególnie chciałbym podziękować komitetowi i wszystkim oddanym wolontariuszom, którzy poświęcili swój czas i talent. Oglądanie tej wspólprace zainspirowało mnie. Dali z siebie wszystko, aby służyć parafii i społeczności. Przekażemy raport finansowy, gdy wszystkie rachunki zostaną opłacone. Październik jest Miesiącem Polsko-Amerykanskiego Dziedzictwa. W niedziele 14 pazdziernika, nasza parafia - Girls Scouts, studenci Szkoły Języka Polskiego i Polscy Harcerze wraz z Polish Beneficial Association - będzie maszerowała w Paradzie Pulaskiego. Parada rezpocznie sie o godzinie 12:00 na Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Parada będzie przekazywana w telewizji na kanale 6-tym od godziny 12:30. Planujcie obejrzeć paradę w centrum miasta lub w telewizji. Ze wzgeldu na Parade Pulaskiego, Msza Święta w polskim jezyku bedzie odprawiona o godzine 10:00 AM w KAPLICY. Nie bedzie mszy o 11:30 AM. Następnym wielkim wydarzeniem towarzyskim w parafii będzie Świąteczny Bazar 9 i 10 listopada. Prosimy o donacje nowych zabawek na nasze stoiska z zabawkami. W przyszłą niedziele będą duże skrzynki przy wszystkich wejściach do kościoła, gdzie można zostawić te zabawki. Z góry dziękujemy za waszą hojność. W środę 17 października o godz. 19.00 po raz kolejny będziemy odmawiać Żywy Różaniec w naszym Kościele. Zachęcamy zaintertesowanych, aby byli "paciorkami", trzymając świecęi tworząc "żywy różaniec" wokół naszego Kościoła. Jeśli chciałbys wziąć udział, prosimy o wpisanie sie na liste w przedsionku kosciola lub o zadzwonienie na plabanie, Jeśli zdecydujesz się przyjść w ostatniej chwili, dołącz do nas na ten niezwykły wieczór modlitwy. Zapraszamy rodziny, aby trzymały jedną świecę razem. Nasze Czterdziesto Godzinne Nabozenstwo rozpocznie sie w niedziele, 21 pazdziernika. Wiecej informacji będzie dostepne w nastepnym tygodniu. Podczas zajęć w zeszłym tygodniu, zapomniałem o błogosławieństwie zwierząt ku czci Św. Franciszka z Asyżu w zeszłym tygodniu. Jego święto obchodzimy 4 października. Będziemy błogosławić wasze zwierzęta na parkingu za Kościołem w tę sobotę, 13 października, o godzinie 9:00. Niech was Pan błogosławi! Cieszcię się tą jesienną pogodą. NASZE DYNAMICZNE MYŚLI KATOLICKIE NA TYDZIEŃ: Obecność Jezusa w jej życiu pozwoliła Maryi nieustannie widzieć rzeczy w kontekście miłości i pokory. Jeśli poprosimy ją, aby towarzyszyła nam w naszej podróży, podzieli się z nami tą perspektywą, a odkryjemy prawdziwą wartość życia. Modlitwa nie zmienia Boga; modlitwa zmienia nas. Nie chodzi o przekonanie go do naszej woli; chodzi o poddanie się jego woli.
MODLITWA – STUDIOWANIE – OFIARNOŚĆ – EWANGELIZACJA Czy Ty jesteś "dynamicznym katolikiem"?

CONTINUED FROM COVER PAGE LET THE CHILDREN COME TO ME Jesus' love extends not only to adults. It extends not only to those in loving and respec ul marriages, but extends to all people, especially children big and li le. The disciples tried to prevent parents from bringing their children to Jesus for a blessing. Jesus rebuked the disciples and said, "Let the children come to me . . . for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." His teachings always emphasized humility and trust, and he held up these children as the best examples. "Whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it." Children are by nature curious and humble; they know that they are small and depend on their parents for everything. Likewise, we must be humble and recognize that we are small before God and depend on God for everything in our lives that is good. To have this a tude is to look for the kingdom of God and to be ready to enter it. And, like the children, we will be touched and blessed by Jesus and welcomed into his arms.
