MISSION STATEMENT
“The Mission of St. Casimir’s Roman Catholic Parish
is to nurture our Christ-centered prayer community steeped in
love in the spirit of selfless service to God and neighbor, ever
mindful of our roots under the protection of Our Lady of Czestochowa, in recognizing the Eucharist as the source and summit of
our Christian life.” Parish Membership:
Every family and single adult to be considered an active
member of St. Casimir’s Parish must be properly registered in the parish, receiving and regularly using the parish
weekly donation envelopes. Only in this way can the parish issue documents attesting to parish membership and
Catholic practice, e.g. a letter to be a Godparent or Sponsor.
New parishioners are requested to visit the parish office.

This Fall, the Archdiocese of New York has mandated that
parishes undertake a rigorous Offertory Collection Campaign to raise long-term, increased, sustainable Offertory
Collections in order to bolster parish financial stability and
offset parish financial shortfalls. We will keep our faithful

know, this year’s FLEA MARKET is scheduled for TWO

have the lighter the work will be - “more hands- the easier the task.” Please donate some time for the benefit of
our beloved Church - it will truly prove to be a fantastic,
fun and most worthwhile experience. If you would like to

DWUDZIESTA NIEDZIELA ZWYKŁA
Czy oddając Bogu swe życie do kształtowania sprawię, że
nagle znikną moje obowiązki? Czy będę miał więcej czasu?
Czy ustąpią w jednej chwili wszelkie choroby i problemy?
Zapewne, nie! Ale otworzą się moje oczy i uszy, otworzy
się moje serce i zobaczę, że nie jestem ślepo poddany
okolicznościom życia, nie jestem niewolnikiem popędów
ciała i wydarzeń wokół mnie. Zdam sobie sprawę, że Bóg
ofiarował mi już wystarczającą ilość łaski i możliwości, bym
swe życie przeżywał pracując nad sobą, nad swoimi myślami
i uczuciami; bym pielęgnując miłość i zdrowe relacje z
braćmi i siostrami stawał się człowiekiem świadomym swojej
wartości, a ciesząc się z każdego spełnionego postanowienia,
widział, że nie jest to moje własne zwycięstwo, ale radował
się, że jestem, tak jak kobieta kananejska i jej córka,
kochany przez Boga i on chce kształtować moje życie.
UWAGA!! W czasie wakacji, zapraszamy na Mszę
św. od poniedziałku do soboty o godz. 8:00 rano.
