 FROM FATHER RICH
Last week I received a note on the parish donation envelope from the principal of one of our
Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese: “I am the principal and my time is split between the church of
my school and my Parish, St. Albert. We are trying to increase enrollment so my presence has been
called there quite a bit”. To me it is a beautiful example of love and care for the Catholic Schools,
which sometimes require even a sacrifice. Celebrating the Catholic School’s Week we think and pray
for St. Albert the Great School. We thank and pray for our principal, teachers, parents, students and
all those who support our school in many different ways. From the bottom of my heart I want to ask
and encourage all parents in our parish to consider sending their children to our school, so we can
also increase enrollment. I want to take this opportunity to thank all our parishioners for their con-
tinued support of our school and we pray for them always, especially during our school Masses in
our church.
One of the important sources of support for the Catholic SchoolS in our Archdiocese is the Catho-
lic Annual Appeal. I want to thank you for your participation in the 2010 Catholic Annual Appeal and
I want to ask you to be a part of this year’s Catholic Annual Appeal that will take place soon.
2011 Archdiocesan annual Catholic Appeal Begins
“…seek first the kingdom of God…” (Matthew 6:33)
Many of our parishioners either have or soon will receive a mailing from Cardinal George. He will
ask that you make a pledge to the 2011 Annual Catholic Appeal. Please respond generously.
The Appeal supports parish ministries that provide religious education to children, youth and adults
in economically disadvantaged communities. It is also one of the largest philanthropic sources of
financial support for Catholic schools in the Archdiocese. The Appeal also funds services that are of
great help to other ministries here in our parish.
This year, the theme of the Appeal is “…seek first the kingdom of God…” (Matthew 6:33). Jesus
taught that we are not to worry about the things of this world. Rather, we are to seek the kingdom of
God and the Father will reward us. God provides all that we have and all that we are. Stewardship,
in part, is the recognition of God’s gifts and the obligation to return a significant portion of our gifts
to assist in his work. Our gifts to our parish, to our Archdiocese and the Church throughout the
world are given in gratitude for what God has given us. A gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal helps to
provide education, services, and ministry to thousands within and outside of our Archdiocese.
Also, when our parish reaches its goal of $54,577.00 in paid pledges, 100% of the additional funds
received will be returned to us for use in our parish.
.....Please prayerfully consider making a significant pledge to the 2011 Annual Catholic Appeal.

 SCHOOL NEWS

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK: Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of what makes Catholic
education special. This week is set aside each year to build community awareness of and involvement in
Catholic schools. We share with everyone the important role of Catholic schools in educating the whole
child—in mind, heart, and spirit.
This year’s theme “A+ for Catholic Schools” underscores the great commitment Catholic education has to
making the world a better place. As part of their effort to educate the whole child in an atmosphere of
faith and academic excellence, Catholic schools instill in students a lifelong commitment to serving oth-
ers. When our students graduate, they have the tools they need to fulfill their roles as good citizens,
productive employees, compassionate leaders, and future leaders of the Catholic Church.
OPEN HOUSE: An Open House has been scheduled to take place during
Catholic School Week on Tuesday, February 1, 2011 from 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
This Open House is for our current school families as well as new families who are
considering a Catholic education for their child/children. Prospective new fami-
lies will be given a tour of the school and the opportunity to speak with the Prin-
cipal, staff and teachers. The school office will be open to accept registrations for
the 2011 – 2012 school year during this Open House.
ALUMNI NEWS: The following St. Albert the Great graduates have earned Honor Roll status at St. Rita
High School for the 1st Semester of the 2010-2011 school year: Gold Honors – Connor Hughes, Max Kali-
nowski, Victor Luna, and Mark Murphy. Silver Honors – John Nowobilski, and Jesus Torres. Congratula-
tions to each of them! We are very proud of you – Keep up the good work!

Dear parishioners,
In January of 2009 we had installed a system
which was to assist our hearing impaired pa-
rishioners during the Mass. Unfortunately, this
service is no longer available, because the lis-
tening device was borrowed and not yet re-
turned. If someone used it and forgot to put it
back on the usher’s table, please return it to the
rectory, so that it could be used again and bene-
fit all parishioners who also would like to use it.

The 2010 contribution statements were mailed

out to all parishioners who request them annu-
ally. Please call the rectory at 708-423-0321 if
you have not received it and would like state-
ment of your donations mailed to you.

 OD KS. RYSZARDA
W tych dniach przeżywamy Tydzień Modlitw w intencji szkół katolickich. Jak wiecie, w naszej
parafii mamy szkołę katolicką i dlatego przy tej okazji pragnę Wam podziękować za wspieranie naszej
szkoły poprzez Wasze hojne ofiary dla parafii. Chciałem z głębi serca zachęcić Was a szczególnie
wszystkich rodziców do zapisania Waszych dzieci do naszej szkoły katolickiej. Mamy wspaniały
program dla małych dzieci i ostatnio kilka rodzin okazało zainteresowanie naszą szkołą na przyszły
rok. Zainteresowanych prosimy o bezpośredni kontakt ze szkołą lub księżmi parafii, którzy pomogą
Wam w zdobyciu informacji i zapisaniu Waszych dzieci do naszej szkoły. Jednym ze zródeł funduszy
dla szkół katolickich w naszej Archidiecezji jest Doroczna Kwesta Katolicka. Dziękuję Wam za udział
w tej Kweście w ubiegłym roku i proszę o zaangażowanie w Kweście która rozpocznie się niedługo.
ROZPOCZYNA SIĘ DOROCZNA KWESTA KATOLICKA 2011
„... starajcie się naprzód o królestwo Boga...” (Mateusz 6:33)
Wielu z parafian otrzymało już lub wkrótce otrzyma korespondencję od kardynała George’a z
prośbą o złożenie zobowiązania finansowego na rzecz Kwesty Katolickiej 2011. Prosimy o szczodry
odzew.
Kwesta Katolicka wspiera wiele zadań i działań duszpasterskich, które w zamian oferują religijne
programy edukacyjne dla dzieci, młodzieży oraz dorosłych w uboższych wspólnotach naszej
archidiecezji. To również największe źródło finansowego wsparcia dla wszystkich szkół katolickich.
Ponadto dochód z tej kwesty umożliwia podjęcie wielu kolejnych zadań i działań duszpasterskich w
naszej parafii.
W tym roku, motywem przewodnim jest fragment z Ewangelii św. Mateusza (6:33) „..starajcie się
naprzód o królestwo Boga...” Jezus uczył nas, abyśmy nie zamartwiali się o rzeczy tego świata, a rac-
zej najpierw starali się o Królestwo Boże, za co zostaniemy wynagrodzeni przez Jego Ojca. Bóg
zapewnia nam wszystko czym jesteśmy i czego potrzebujemy. Podstawą prawdziwego chrześcijanina
jest wyrabianie postawy służebnej, czyli w tym wypadku dzielenia się swoimi dobrami z potrzebują-
cymi. Postawa służebna, to także zrozumienie przez nas samych, że wszystko co posiadamy jest
darem od Boga i naszym obowiązkiem jest zwrócić część tych darów, by wspomóc dzieła Boże. Dary
złożone na rzecz naszej parafii, archidiecezji i Kościoła na całym świecie są składane jako akt wdzięc-
zności za to, co otrzymaliśmy od Boga. Ofiary złożone na Doroczną Kwestę Katolicką pomagają w
zapewnieniu wykształcenia, przygotowania i opracowania programów pomocy, wreszcie stanowią
wsparcie dla duszpasterstwa ubogim wielu tysiącom osób w naszej archidiecezji, a nawet poza jej
granicami.
Ponadto, po uzyskaniu przez naszą parafię kwoty docelowej w wysokości $ 54,577.00 w postaci
wpłaconych zobowiązań, 100% zebranych w ten sposób środków, zostanie zwrócona nam, do
wykorzystania na niezbędne dla naszej parafii cele.
Prosimy o modlitwę w intencji Dorocznej Kwesty Katolickiej 2011. Pamiętajmy, że o powodzeniu
tego wyjątkowego dzieła Bożego zadecyduje także nasza hojność i deklaracja złożonego daru.
