Virtus for Employees and Volunteers Click here... RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM (R.E.P.) As we begin the New Year, we are invited to get closer to GOD, to deepen our Catholic faith, and to be real disciple of Jesus Christ. God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church. To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son as Redeemer and Savior. In his Son and through him, he invites men to become, in the Holy Spirit, his adopted and thus heirs of his blessed life.

< Back "Zapal Światło Wolności" Fr. Lukasz Pyka Dec 9, 2022 Zaproszenie Społeczna akcja IPN „Zapal Światło Wolności” nawiązuje do apelu, jaki po wprowadzeniu stanu wojennego, w Wigilię Bożego Narodzenia 1981 roku, wystosował prezydent Stanów Zjednoczonych Ronald Reagan. Wezwał on Amerykanów do wystawienia w oknach domów świec na znak solidarności z Polakami. Gest solidarności wobec Polaków żyjących w stanie wojennym wykonały wówczas rzesze mieszkańców ówczesnego wolnego świata. Na znak jedności z rodakami świecę w oknie Pałacu Apostolskiego zapalił również papież Jan Paweł II. W tym roku, w 41. rocznicę wprowadzenia stanu wojennego, Stowarzyszenie Pamięć zaprasza do udziału w akcji IPN „Zapal Światło Wolności” wszystkie polonijne szkoły, parafie, organizacje i instytucje. Zachęcamy, aby 13 grudnia 2022 r. o godz. 19.30 Światło Wolności zapłonęło w wielu oknach jako wyraz pamięci o ofiarach stanu wojennego. Prosimy o przesłanie zaproszenia do udziału w akcji wszystkim parafianom. W akcji może wziąć udział każdy , niezależnie od narodowości, zapalając świeczkę w oknie o godz. 19.30. Uprzejmie informujemy, że Stowarzyszenie Pamięć planuje utworzenie wspólnej galerii, która następnie będzie opublikowana w polskich i polonijnych mediach. Wszystkich, którzy włączą się do akcji „Zapal Światło Wolności”, Stowarzyszenie Pamięć prosi o przesłanie zdjęć z zapalenia Światła Wolności na adres info@pamiec.us . Previous Next
