OGŁOSZENIA / ANNOUNCEMENTS

50TH  WEDDING ANNIVERSARY BLESSINGS to Michael and Ursula Melski! Sending lots of prayers, love and best wishes!

STO LAT! Birthday blessings to Toni LaRusic. Wishing health and happiness!

AFTER MASS TODAY: Please join us in Sala 1050, in the church. We will have popsicles of different flavours, donated in memory of Alison Etter (wedding anniversary).
We will also have coffee, tea, juice. And a birthday cake for last week’s 9th birthday of Sawyer and Tatum! And a three-minute Polish pop-up tutorial with words for different flavours of ice cream and cake.

A NOTE FROM THE POLISH EMBASSY IN OTTAWA: We’re invited to a Zoom meeting with veterans of the Warsaw Uprising. This year will mark the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising against the Nazi occupation. It’s on July 25 at 8:00pm our time. If you are interested in attending, please let Tom Urbaniak know and he will send you the on-line RSVP form.

THEME FOR THIS YEAR’S NOVA SCOTIA POLISH HERITAGE MONTH (September) will be “Special Walks.” Although there will be a wide range of activities, there will be some particular emphasis on walking tours, nature-language hikes (to learn some Polish words), cemetery visits, site visits and more. We will also feature some of the work students did to propose a future Galicia Brook walkway near the church.

ST. MICHAEL’S POLISH BENEFIT SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP: Everyone is invited to consider becoming a member of the St. Michael’s Polish Benefit Society. The Society owns and operates the Polish Village Hall and is involved in a number of cultural and service projects. Founded in 1909, the Society is the oldest Polish community organization in Canada. In recognition of this, the Polish Village Hall is an officially designated heritage landmark. The Society has been working on a very positive hall revitalization project and recently developed the Twin City Pocket Park. Membership is $30 per year. Only members who are on the board are required to attend meetings. Other members participate in activities as they wish and can run for the board and vote at annual general meetings. As per recent correspondence with members, the AGM will take place as a lunchtime gathering (marking the 115th anniversary of the Society) either on September 13 or September 20 (both are Fridays). The date will be confirmed.

FOOD CUPBOARD: Thanks so much for contributing any non-perishable items at the entrance of the church

UKRAINIAN HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE: Thank you for continued support. We have been supporting the efforts of our sister city, Wałbrzych, Poland, which has been caring for
thousands of refugees plus the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace and the Catholic Near East Welfare Association

OUR POLISH-THEMED RADIO SEGMENTS: Marking four years already! The Coast Radio FM 89.7 (weekdays at 3:50pm and 7:50pm or any time at coastalradio.ca). This coming week, Jo-Ann Dziubek-MacDonald will discuss Polish words related to the beach
We’re looking for sponsors and volunteers for the radio segments. It’s $100 for a whole week to sponsor. Sponsors are recognized on air – and any dedications, too (eg. if you’re sponsoring as a memorial or as a birthday or anniversary gift). The Coast is generously redirecting the sponsorships back to the St. Michael’s Polish Benefit Society (which produces the segments). If you think you might like to sponsor a week, please e-mail tom_urbaniak@cbu.ca or call 563-1226. Many thanks!

1. Idźmy, tulmy się jak dziatki,/ Do Serca Maryi Matki./ Gdy nas nęka życia trud, czy to winy czerni brud!/ Idźmy, idźmy ufnym krokiem,/ rzewnym sercem łzawem okiem: To Serce zna dzieci głos,/ odwróci bolesny cios.
2. Ach, to Serce dobroć sama,/ najczulszej z córek Adama./ Jest otwarte w każdy czas, samo szuka, wzywa nas:/ "Pójdźcie do mnie dziatki moje,/ wyczerpnijcie łaski zdroje: Kto mnie znajdzie, życie ma,/ Temu Syn zbawienie da

2.Zapalasz światło wiary/W zwykły, szary czas,/By każda chwila życia Jednoczyła nas

Recessional: Serdeczna Matko (Beloved Mother)
Serdeczna Matko, Opiekunko ludzi/ Niech Cię płacz sierot do litości wzbudzi.
Wygnańcy Ewy do Ciebie wołamy/ Zlituj się, zlituj, niech się nie tułamy.
Beloved Mother, Guardian of the Nation / Hearken, oh hearken to our supplication.
Your loyal children from the plain and city./ Kneel beseeching, your great love and pity
