Music Ministry News:

Many years ago, St. Albert the Great Music Ministry established a Bell
Choir. This choir utilizes traditional bells as well as chimes in its beautiful
musical settings. In the next couple of weeks, the parish would like to bring
the special beauty to our Saturday, 5 PM liturgy. New applicants should be
able to have an excellent sense of rhythm and enjoy camaraderie.
The Bell Choir will practice one hour a week on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 to 7:00 PM and typically
play one or two Masses a month on Saturdays.
If you are interested in joining our new Bell Choir, please see Matthew Berardi, our Organist up in the
choir loft after the Saturday 5 PM Mass or the Sunday 7:30 AM Mass or you may call, (708) 614-8390 for
further information.

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!

Holy, holy, holy! Ancient languages, like the
Hebrew used in the scriptures, did not always have a
way to express superlatives in one word. Isaiah could
not say God was holiest, so he used the threefold
repetition of the same word. This bit of scriptural minutiae about these three little words that we sing at
every Mass serves as a reminder that answering Gods
call has to be grounded in awareness of Gods holiness. In Isaiah and in the Gospel passage today, we
hear accounts of the revelation of Gods power and
might: the seraphim in the temple and the miraculous
catch of fish. These are not wondrous revelations for
their own sakes. They lead to a response in mission,
Isaiahs Here I am, send me! and the disciples
leaving everything to follow Jesus. And so must our
own Holy, Holy, Holy! lead us to Christ in the
Eucharist every Sunday, and to a life following him
day by day. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Pro Life
Its time for that before Lent treat we all love!
Paczki (Punchkee) will be sold Saturday and Sunday Feb. 6th and 7th after
Masses while they last.
Each box will contain 3
apricot and 3 raspberry and
will be sold for $5.00, as
before. Proceeds will help
keep our Pro-Life committee able to continue for another year.
PARKING LOT SAFETY In order to make our parking
lot safe and provide access for emergency vehicles,
fire trucks and ambulances Parking outside the areas
marked in yellow is prohibited, double parking is
illegal and also increases danger in the parking lot.
Also, please do not park in spaces reserved for
handicapped parking. Your cooperation in this matter
will limit danger and assure safety when coming in or
leaving the parish grounds.
Next Sunday Second Collection
February 14, 2016 we will take up a Second
Collection for the To Teach Who Christ is
Campaign. We thank God for giving us His Son
as a guide to live by, and a light by which we
can choose the paths of goodness and love
here in this life.

COPY OF OUR PASTORS LETTER , CALENDARS AND THE

OFFERING CARNISTERS CAN BE FOUND IN THE BACK OF THE
CHURCH.

A new pastor will be appointed to St. Albert the Great Parish beginning July 1, 2016.
You are invited to a meeting on February 8, 2016 at 7:00pm in the church to share in the process
for the selection of a new pastor. Everyone is encouraged to attend this meeting to discuss the
future of St. Albert Parish with Bishop Wypych and the committee responsible for the selection
of a new pastor.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
As the Roman Empire shattered and collapsed, the bishops were the people best equipped to catch the
falling stones. In the West (thats us), they sought to stabilize society by weaving a structure of laws and
courts to uphold the rights and dignity of married couples in a chaotic world. The bishops in the East had a
different approach, even allowing the dissolution of marriages in certain cases. To an extent, the bishops
took a measure of control away from the fathers of families in order to provide pastoral care for those who
suffered most in the social collapse: women and children.
In the West, much of the marriage law was contained in the penitential books the bishops devised to
regulate the lives of public sinners. In the seventh century, Theodore of Canterburys penitential book said
that he had the power to give consent to remarriage in the case of a poor fellow whose wife had been carried off by the Vikings. If the Vikings subsequently brought her back, she could remarry, too! No bishop
ever made peace with divorce, but there was never a time when the pastoral concern of the church was not
struggling with how to care for people in unhappy situations. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch C
