From Our Pastor
Dear Friends,
We are s ll figh ng the pandemic, and it looks like during this beau ful month of May, we s ll will be
locked down in our homes or apartments. I always loved this month, filled with flowers blooming,
trees becoming green, warmer weather. It’s also a month for making plans for the summer and, for
young people, it’s a me for making decisions regarding their future: new schools, new friends, and
new beginnings. But this par cular month of May will be very different for all of us. We can s ll enjoy
the beauty of the world around us and enjoy (hopefully) nicer weather, but we won’t be able to
witness our young students receiving the Eucharist for their first me, we cannot celebrate gradua ons, and it will be
very difficult to make any plans for the summer. We are s ll in the pandemic, and nobody knows what this summer will
look like. Well, I certainly pray and believe that we will be coming back to our everyday lives very soon.
But the month of May is also about something else. The month of May always ‘belongs’ to the Blessed Virgin Mary. We
Catholics believe that she truly is the Mother of God who was taken to Heaven and now has a special place there. She
can always intercede for us. So, I would like to encourage you to dedicate this month to Her. Perhaps now even more
than before we can find me to pray and meditate on the mysteries of the rosary, or we can recite the litany to the
Blessed Virgin Mary, or simply decorate her picture or statue that we may have in our homes -- even those outside so
our neighbors can witness that She has a special place not only in our tradi on but also in our homes and hearts.
Over and over again, we pray the Hail
Mary, Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray
for us sinners now and at the hour of
our death. Amen. When we do this,
we are asking her to use her unique
rela onship to God to call upon Him to
care for us. That is why the Rosary is
such a powerful prayer. In the rosary
we are recognizing Mary’s role in our
salva on as the Mother of God and
our mother. I believe that she is with
us now, and she understands more
than anyone else what we are going
through: that we are red, we are
angry and miss our lives. As we go
through this lockdown for another
month, let us invite the Blessed Virgin
Mary to be with us every day of this
month. I am sure that it will be much
Image by Fr. Kris Janczak
easier having Her close and asking Her
to intercede for us.
Something to know:
May 3rd marks Polish Cons tu on Day, so I want to wish happy Cons tu on Day to all of my Polish friends and those
who celebrate that important event of our history. We may see a mix of many Polish and Mexican flags these
upcoming days, since May 2nd is a flag day in Poland, and our Mexican friends celebrate Cinco de Mayo, the
anniversary of an early victory by Mexican forces over French forces in the Ba le of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It is not
the anniversary of the defeat and expulsion of the French forces by the Mexicans, that occurred in 1867.
Happy May to all!
Fr. Kris
