2021 POLISH FESTIVAL
The St. Hedwig Polish Festival, which is traditionally
held in September is canceled because of the Cornonavirus Pandemic.
ALL SAINTS DAY
On Monday, November 1st, ALL SAINTS DAY, Mass will be celebrated in the Church at 12:00pm, 5:30pm and at 7:00 p.m. (Polish). All Saints Day is a solemnity celebrated on the 1st of November, in honor of all the saints, known and unknown. Because it falls on Monday this year, All Saints Day is not a Holy Day of Obligation. Celebrating All Saints Day by attending Mass is a wonderful way to honor the saints, who constantly intercede with God for us.
ALL SOULS DAY MASS OF REMEMBRANCE
ALL SOULS DAY MASS OF REMEMBRANCE will be held on Tuesday, November 2nd, at 6:30 p.m. in St. Hedwig Church. Join us as we remember our loved ones and all those who have passed away from our parish family, especially during the past 12 months. All Souls Day Mass Intention envelopes will be placed on the altar of sacrifice during the month of November. Envelopes are available at all Church exits. Fill out the envelope and drop it in the collection basket.

2021 ANNUAL DIOCESAN CATHOLIC APPEAL
Disciples of Christ, Witnesses of Hope
During this time each year, parishioners are invited to participate in the Diocese’s Annual Catholic Appeal. Funds raised through the Appeal help provide pastoral, charitable, and educational programs and services to tens of thousands of people in our 12-county Diocese.
The theme for this year’s Appeal is Disciples of Christ, Witnesses of Hope. Considering our current economy, many Appeal supported ministries are in record demand. Individuals and families are looking to the Church for help. As Disciple of Christ, we must respond. Each of us has a responsibility to bring hope and Christ’s love to those who need it most.
Please give prayerful and thoughtful consideration to your resources and the needs of those served by the Annual Catholic Appeal. You can contribute to the Appeal by using the pledge card and return envelope mailed to your home, by accessing the Appeal website at www.cdow.org/annualcatholicappeal or by completing a pledge card located on the table in the back of the Church.
Our 2021 Parish target is $23, 000
Pledges to date $19,485 (84.72%)
Thank you for being so generous. Every dollar counts! Help us reach our target!

DIVINE MERCY
At three o'clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of
My Passion (St. Faustina Diary, 1320).
Jesus, I trust in you! Jezu, ufam Tobie! Jesús, en Ti confío!
