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.

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!

St. Stanislaus Kostka Church – Rochester, New York 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. Polska Szkoła Zaprasza na Naleśniki w tą Niedzielę!
