Matka Boska Gromniczna Ks. Ewaryst Nawrowski

Świątynia światłem gromnic płonie

I woła: Matko! oświeć życia znój! Przed prawem schylasz święte skronie,

Bo w nim pokory i pociechy zdrój. Posłuszna, cicha do ostatka

Wypełniasz kornie, co rozkazał Bóg, I wiedziesz rzesze jako matka,

Gdy staną trwożne wśród rozstajnych dróg. Niech nam przypomni blask gromnicy, Że nim pójdziemy na straszliwy sąd,

Ma dusza jaśnieć wśród ciemnicy, I mężnie łamać szał i grzech i błąd. Świątynia światłem gromnic płonie,

I myśl ulata, gdzie pokory kwiat, Nad burze, gromy, ciemne tonie,

I nad niedole ludzkich, biednych chat. Świątynia w blaskach świec jaśnieje,

I ufnie błaga cały polski lud: Pokoju otwórz nam wierzeje

Na szczęście, chwałę, nowych czasów cud!

All parishioners will receive a mailing from the Diocese of Joliet this month about the 2020 Catholic Ministries Appeal (CMAA). Our annual appeal is vitally important to not only the diocese, but also to our parish as well. The CMAA supports 30 ministries that benefit every parish and allow us all to Be Kind and Merciful to the most vulnerable in our community. 70% of any amount we raise above our goal will be returned to us. This is a great opportunity for our parish! Please review the materials and then prayerfully reflect on your gift to this year’s annual appeal.

You who miraculously cured a li le child when it was at the point of death by reason of an afflic on of the throat, grant us your powerful protec on in like misfortunes; and, above all, obtain for us the grace of repentance, together with a faithful observance of our Church, and avoidance from offending Almighty God.

Amen.

St. Andrew the Apostle We Care Food Pantry

The St. Andrew We Care Food Pantry is open every Wednesday from 10:00 am. until 12:30 p.m. for any eligible family in Romeoville in need of food assistance. Our pantry is open only to Romeoville residents so proof of residency and an ID must be shown upon sign-in each week. If you are a parishioner of St. Andrew and you find yourself in need of food assistance, you are more than welcome to come to the We Care Food Pantry also. Proof of residency is a utility bill with your name and address on it plus your Driver’s License or State of Illinois ID. That must be brought in each time you come for food assistance.

The Pantry is located at 219 Arlington. For further information, please contact Shirley Grzenia at (630) 945-1317. This is the new phone number to call for food pantry inquiries and assistance. Thank you and God Bless.
