Dear Friends in Christ:
All Saints is our spiritual home and, like many of your own homes, is in need of several repairs. Today, we’re looking forward to our next project approved by the Bishop, Building Commission and  All Saints Parish and Finance Councils. 

The Project will involve the replacement of the twenty-eight Nave ventilators in the Main Church. These are  a hundred plus years old, they do not seal out the weather well and they do not operate well.
We received 4 quotes with a cost from $43,146.00 to $69,353.00. A letter with our recommendation was send to Bishop. On March 21 our proposal was accepted.
 
Total cost of project is $56,660.00
50% of the cost will be taken from our Church savings and matching other 50% contributed by all members of the parish. (50% = $28,330.00)
I am asking all of us as a family united in our Catholic faith, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and committed to one another to take part in this project. 
I know that with your support, we can proceed with this project.
Every donation counts and 100% of all funds raised will stay in the parish specifically for this renovation.
All donations should be made to All Saints Church by June 30, 2019, with a memo „Stained Glass Windows Vents 2019.” Just a reminder that your contribution is Tax deductible. Please provide your envelope number, so that we can give you credit for this donation. 
Please accept my personal thanks for all you do to make All Saints the great parish it is.
Letter with details will be mailed this week to all registered members. 

God Bless, Fr. Piotr Calik

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process through which adults learn about the teachings of Jesus as the Catholic Church has handed them on and put these teachings into practice by living as part of the Catholic community, serving others and praying. RCIA is for three groups of people:

Those who have never been baptized in any faith,
People who were baptized in another Christian faith, and
Baptized Catholics who have never received the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

For more information please speak to a priest after Mass or call the parish office. We would love to help you on your journey to a deeper relationship with Christ and His Church.

As you may know we are starting a Hot Homemade Meal Delivery program here at All Saints Church called Take and Eat. 
We would like to know if you know anyone (yourselves included) who would benefit for getting a hot homemade meal once a month every first Saturday. 

There is no charge for the meal and there are no qualifications in getting the meal. Just asking for it is enough. 

Please call the rectory office  and give the name and address of the person or persons who would like to receive the meal. 

We will build this program based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ "I was hungry and you gave me food, a stranger and you welcomed me, ill and you cared for me."

Short Story:

In commemoration of the Last Supper on the day before Jesus’ crucifixion many people, especially those who belong to the Catholic denomination, receive Communion on this day. It is celebrated on the Sunday after Trinity Sunday in some parts of the United States, although the day falls on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday in other places.

Some people, particularly children, may celebrate their first Communion on this day. This practice, also known as Eucharist, is observed throughout the life of a Christian and is a time of worship when people believe they come together as one body to remember and celebrate the life and works of Jesus Christ. It involves the acceptance of bread and wine in memory of the body and blood of Christ.

In Our Community we will have a special Mass following by a prayer and private Adoration at St. Mary’s Church.

When: Sunday, June 23
Where: St. Mary’s Church - Ware 
Time: 11:30 am - Mass followed by the Litany to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament till 3pm
Celebration will end with a Chaplet to Divine Mercy lead by Father at 3pm.

What is a role of Spiritual Life Committee?

We hold the following to be our mission at  both All Saints Church and St. Mary’s Church:

- To give the community an opportunity to be more aware of God in their daily lives

- To give the community quiet space and time to experience God

- To give the community an occasion for thoughts, feelings, and insights that might not previously have been connected or directed to God and to give the community opportunities to learn and experience other forms of spirituality. 

Our responsibilities include gathering and planning opportunities to experience the God in our lives through various media, fostering a prayerful attitude at gatherings and respectfully listening to one another, nurturing an environment through which our community may deepen their relationship with God.

Dear Members of both Churches,

As you know I moved Adoration to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Chapel after long time of listening to those who were willing to come and pray in Adoration and requested better day, time and location. Some were unhappy that at St. Mary’s Church, Jesus was not visible as well. As we learned quickly, commitment made by words is not easy to be kept or followed in deed. The very first Monday showed that Jesus was left by himself for a few hours. 
That can’t happened again. 

I was praying that day as well during the time when none signed up for Adoration.

As a result of my prayers, I am making a final decision as follows:

Adoration time and places for both All Saints and St. Mary’s:

Thursdays: St. Mary’s after 7:30 am Mass till 12noon ending with a Litany of Loretto (To Blessed Virgin Mary)

Fridays: All Saints (Chapel):
Staring at 3pm with Chaplet to Divine Mercy
and ending at 5:20 pm with Litany to The Sacred Heart of Jesus
