Plans for our annual Homecoming celebration are already being made! The event is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024 at our parish center. This year we are offering a buffet dinner of baked stuffed chicken breast, mashed potatoes, vegetables, rolls and butter, and delicious puddings for dessert.
Appetizers will be served starting at 4 PM, followed by dinner at 5 PM. A raffle and short program will follow.
Donations of simple, ready-to-eat appetizers would be appreciated.
Tickets are $10 per adult or $20 for parents with small children. Santa Claus will be our guest! See a member of our parish to reserve tickets soon as our Homecoming Dinner sells out fast.
2 Sunday of Advent
Baruch 5:1-9; Philippians 1:4-6,8-11; Gospel: Luke 3:1-6
This Sunday is always John the Baptist proclaiming the Messiah. It is wonderful and we can sense the joy of the Baptist. God is sending a Redeemer. We know that it does not turn out to be the kind of Redeemer for which many were hoping. This Redeemer is not a man of power and might in the way of the world. Listen to the Prophet Baruch once again: God is leading Israel in joy by the light of his glory, with his mercy and justice for company. The Redeemer will bring joy, mercy and justice. Jesus teaches us how to live in joy with mercy and justice by his humility and poverty. This is not the kind of redemption for which people hope. The Letter to the Philippians takes us the same theme: the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. The good work begun in us is faith, not power and might. Faith in a God who loves us. Faith in a God who sends us His Son to free us from sin. The Gospel of Luke today gives us the words of the Baptist: Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. John the Baptist proclaims a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. It is the poor and the outcast who follow him. Occasionally a person of wealth and power gets interested in him. Some people seem to think that he is a fanatic. This Advent presents us with the normal challenge of our faith: Who do we say that Jesus is? Who is Jesus in my life here and now? Do I want a Redeemer? What kind of a Redeemer? Our God loves us and promises everlasting life in the world to come. In this life He only promises us suffering and trials--with a deep inner joy and peace if we live in faith. Advent reminds us to purify ourselves from all that is not of God. John the Baptist points the way for us in Advent: purify, repent, forgiveness. Yet we know that this message is to prepare us for the coming of One who loves us beyond all we can imagine and who wants us to share His life forever. My sisters and brothers, let us walk the way of the Lord in this Advent and know the presence of the Savior in our lives. Come, Lord Jesus.
Homecoming Dinner
Come, Worship With Us on Sunday
You are invited to join us at 10:00 on any Sunday morning to attend Mass at our church. No matter your background, ethnicity, or denomination, we don't look at that. Just people with good will looking for some place to fill out their souls. If you need comfort, a place to pray, this is the place. We do not judge—it's not up to us to judge. All are welcome.
The Mass liturgy is celebrated in English and booklets are available for you to follow the service in comfort. Please come and worship along side the friendly people of St. Casimir’s.
A Special Announcement...
We are very thankful for the response we have received from our websie readers! In the very short period of time since we created our site, we have received many messages from you via the Contact Us page with comments and questions about our activities, and requests for information about our church, our cemetery and the PNCC in general. How wonderful that is! Thank you very much.
We would like to apologize, however, for our failure to keep the site current. We have a lot going on at St. Casimir's and our volunteer parishioners are really very busy. We are working on a plan to maintain the website on a more current schedule and ask your indulgence. In order to make the site even more interesting, we are in the process of redesigning it as yu will see in the coming weeks....please send us your comments as we progress.
Rev. Andrzej Tenus
