Remember in Prayer
As members of the parish faith community, it is
our responsibility to remember both in concrete and spiritual
ways those who cannot celebrate with us each week
because they are ill. Those who are sick in turn, remember
all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings.
We experience many blessings because of their remembering
us. And so...please remember in your prayers:

Almighty God, stretch forth
Your mighty arm to strengthen
and protect the men and women of
our Armed Forces. As they face the m y r -
iad of challenges and decisions that each day is destined
to bring, may they be anchored by their faith, protected
by Your presence and comforted by the knowledge that
they are loved by You and by this community of faith.
Grant that, meeting danger with courage, and all occasions
with discipline loyalty, they may truly serve the
cause of justice and peace to the honor of your holy
name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
May God keep you safe!

Dear Friends in Christ,
As a part of preparation to the
priesthood each of seminarians is
obliged to fulfill CPE program
(Clinical Pastoral Education).
While doing my ministry during
the summer at West Suburban
Medical Center in Oak Park I will
be staying at St. Ferdinand Parish.
You might see me in various occasions and wondering
who that young man is. I would like to take this opportunity
to provide you with a short autobiography. My name
is Andrzej Nowicki and I am originally from Poland. My
hometown, Biala Podlaska, is located some 100 miles
east of Warsaw, the capital of Poland. There are five in
my family. I am the youngest with two sisters. Back in
Poland I completed elementary school and high school in
my hometown, and than I entered the major seminary led
by the diocese of Siedlce. Since I started my formation at
Mundelein Seminary, I have been connected with St. Fabian
Parish, Our Lady of the Wayside Parish and St Thecla
Parish where I have helped out on the weekends.
With God’s grace I will be ordained to Diaconate on 1 st
of November, 2008 and to the Priesthood on 23 rd of May,
2009. I am very grateful that Fr. Jason Torba welcomes
me very warmly at St. Ferdinand Parish. Finally, all of
you are part of my journey of faith and I know that I can
learn from each of you the enthusiasm and love for the
Church. I would like to ask you to keep me in your
prayers as I keep you in mine.
Yours in Christ
Seminarian Andrzej Nowicki

CHRIST OUR HOPE
You can answer His call…
Needed: Religious Education
Teacher or Assistant
When: Sunday Mornings
9:00AM-10:30AM
Beginning: Sun., Sept. 21st, 2008
To teach is to touch the lives of many. You share a part
of yourself with all whose lives you touch. To teach is to
believe in what you teach. No experience necessary—just
a burning desire to bring children closer to God.
Religious education is possible because individuals dare
to act on their deepest convictions. Those who volunteer
for this special ministry discover others who share their
vision. To volunteer or receive more information, please
call Fr. Torba 622-5900x231 or Dr. Mastalerz 622-
3022x350.

in included new ideas for outdoor cooking, team
building games, a variety of knot and rope related competitions,
black powder shooting, water rockets, fire rescue,
backpacking principals, Civil War re-enactments, a 50
foot Monkey Bridge, Fly Fishing demonstrations and lessons,
a climbing wall, an introduction to scuba, and open
water kayaking. An arena show provided musical entertainment
from groups like AC Rock and Stockwood. The
Department of Homeland Security demonstrated their
bomb sniffing dogs. The Illinois Raptor Center was also
on hand to provide demonstrations with their hawks and
owls. A special thanks to the adults and volunteer leaders
that took the time to chaperon the Scouts on this
activity.

Drodzy Przyjaciele w Chrystusie,
Jako przygotowanie do kapłaństwa
każdy z seminarzystów jest
zobligowany do praktyk w szpitalu
jako kapelan. Podczas mojej
posługi w czasie wakacji w West
Suburban Medical Center w Oak
Park będę mieszkał w parafii
Świetego Ferdynanda dlatego
możecie mnie widzieć przy różnych okazjach i zastanawiać
się kim jest ten młody człowiek. Chciałbym skorzystać
z okazji i napisać parę słów o sobie.
Nazywam się Andrzej Nowicki i pochodzę z Polski. Moje
rodzinne miasto, Biala Podlaska, jest położone 100 mil
na wschód od Warszawy. Jestem najmłodszy z rodziny.
Po ukończeniu szkoły podstawowej i średniej wstąpiłem
do Wyższego Seminarium Duchownego Diecezji Siedleckiej.
Od kiedy rozpocząłem formacje w Mundelein
Seminary byłem zaangażowany duszpastersko w parafiach,
Sw. Fabiana, Our Lady of the Wayside i Św Tekli.
Z Bożą łaską otrzymam święcenia diakonatu 1 listopada
2008 roku, a kapłańskie 23 maja 2009. Jestem bardzo
wdzięczny księdzu proboszczowi Zdzisławowi Torbie za
gorące przyjęcie mnie w parafii Św. Ferdynanda. Wy
wszyscy jesteście częścią mojej drogi wiary i wiem, że
od każdego z Was mogę nauczyć się entuzjazmu i miłości
do Kościoła. Proszę Was o modlitwę za mnie abym w
przyszłości mógł zostać świętym kapłanem.
Szczęść Boże

MODLITWA O BEATYFIKACJĘ
STEFANA KARDYNAŁA WYSZYŃSKIEGO
PRYMASA TYSIĄCLECIA
(1901—1981)
Boże w Trójcy Świętej Jedyny, Ty w swojej niewypowiedzianej
dobroci powołujesz ciągle nowych apostołów,
aby przybliżali światu Twoją Miłość.
Bądź uwielbiony za to, że dałeś nam opatrznościowego
Pasterza Stefana Kardynała Wyszyńskiego,
Prymasa Tysiąclecia.
Boże, źródło wszelkiej świętości, spraw, prosimy Cię,
aby Kościół zaliczył go do grona swoich świętych.
Wejrzyj na jego heroiczną wiarę, całkowite oddanie się
Tobie, na jego męstwo wobec przeciwności i prześladowań,
które znosił dla imienia Twego.
Pomnij, jak bardzo umiłował Kościół Twojego Syna, jak
wiernie kochał Ojczyznę i każdego człowieka, broniąc
jego godności i praw, przebaczając wrogom, zło dobrem
zwyciężając.
Otocz chwałą wiernego Sługę Twojego Stefana Kardynała,
który wszystko postawił na Maryję i Jej zawierzył bez
granic, u Niej szukając pomocy w obronie wiary
Chrystusowej i wolności Narodu.
Ojcze nieskończenie dobry, uczyń go orędownikiem naszych
spraw przed Tobą. Amen.

“Brandt and Jackie sitting in a tree/ k-i-s-s-i-n-g/ First comes
love/ Then comes marriage/ Then comes Jackie with the baby
carriage.” I can’t speak to the tree and the baby carriage parts,
but I witnessed the love and the kissing during the recent wedding
at St. Paul’s Church in Marion, IN. Jackie is Elaine’s daughter.
Elaine is one of my wife’s closest friends from grade school.
Yikes! People who know me know that I’m not good temporally.
I mean, it seems in my mind sometimes as if I’ve missed the past
twenty-five years. Really. But Jackie and Brandt’s wedding made
it clear to me that my wife and I are moving into a whole new
phase of our lives together. Now we’re attending the weddings of
our grade school friends’ children. How did that happen?
It’s not like I’m “…almost a hundred yeas old” as the Apostle
Paul describes Abraham in today’s second reading while discussing
the church father’s great faith in God’s promises. I’m well on
the flip-side of fifty, though, and I don’t doubt that Jackie and
Brandt and their friends put me way nearer to Abraham than to,
say, Usher or Justin Timberlake. I even asked my wife if I was
looking particularly feeble on the drive home. We’d stopped at a
McDonalds somewhere en route and I was heading for the men’s
restroom when a teenage girl chatting with a friend near the restroom
door reached out and held it open for me. Huh? Gail said
she was just demonstrating a little Hoosier hospitality. Maybe,
but I think she saw Abraham coming her way…
Abraham-esque or not, I enjoyed the wedding, and I couldn’t

ON WEDDINGS, AND WEDDING DAY ADVICE

help but feel younger myself in the presence of the young love
that swelled the church that day. Jackie and Brandt chose Paul’s
letter from 1 Corinthians for their second reading. Gail and I
chose the same passage over twenty-six years back. In truth, I
yellow-highlighted the words in the New American Bible which
she bought for me as a gift years ago. “Love is patient, love is
kind. It is not jealous. Love is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is
not rude…Love never fails…” I know that all of Scripture is inspired,
but nothing in the Book can be more inspired--or can give
us more hope--than Paul’s discourse on love.
Gail wrote an inspired discourse on love of her own in
the wedding card we gave to the newlyweds. She told them that
probably sooner than later, when issues surfaced between the two
of them, they would wonder--and not in a good way--what they
had gotten themselves into. She stressed however, that having a
spouse you can trust and who has your best interest at heart will
always always always win the day. Pretty good advice. And so is
the advice that Jesus himself offers in today’s Gospel. Granted,
our Lord was speaking to the tax collector Matthew, but the
words work for young lovers, for well-on-the-flip-side-of-fifty
lovers and even for Abraham-esque lovers (depending on where
that Indiana teenager puts my wife and me). “Follow me,” Jesus
says. I’d say that Brandt and Jackie are off to a good start, defining
love, and k-i-s-s-i-n-g…
