ZLO

Ovih dana smo svjedoci kako zlo može biti snažno. Gledajući televizijske i novinske slike svjedoci smo vremena užasa, smrti, osvete, zla... Napad na New York i Washington uistinu su tragovi zla. Ovih dana zajedno molimo za sve one koji čine zlo, bez obzira odakle su tko su, gdje žive. Molimo da im Gospodin srca obrati. Molimo za sve poginule, neka njihove žrtve budu ovoj zemlji zalog novog mira. Molimo za sve obitelji, sve ranjene ovim nesrećama, za sve u boli i patnji. Molimo da ovaj naš svijet bude svijet Dobra, a ne Zla, svijet Ljubavi, a ne Mržnje, svijet u kojem ćemo svi radosno živjeti. Danas (16.rujna) na svetoj misi u 11 sati sjetimo se i molimo za sve žrtve terorističkih napada u utorak 11. rujna 2001. godine.

Odgođena predstava

"Predstava Hamleta u selu Mrduša Donja" ODGOÐENA JE ZBOG napada na New York. Predstava je održana samo u Montrealu. Glumci su ostali na uzletištu bez mogućnosti za let. Tako su predstave u Torontu, Vancouveru, San Franciscu, Los Angelesu, Chicagu i New Yorku odgođene. Ispričavamo se svima zbog ove odgode. Svi vi koji ste kupili karte možete ih vratiti onima od kojih ste ih kupili, a oni će vam vratiti novac. U ime svih glumaca i organizatora iskreno se ispričavamo. Glumci će s ovom predstavom nadamo se nastupiti za nekoliko mjeseci.

Još jedna odgoda

Mr. Don Hudspeth, dekan američkog koledža za business iz Dubrovnika trebao je doći ovaj utorak u našu zajednicu. Njegov dolazak je odgođen zbog istih razloga. On najvjerojatnije dolazi u listopadu. U njegovo ime također se ispričavamo.

ŽUPNI BANKET

Dragi župljani! Kao što znate iz prošlih nekoliko godina, svake smo godine održavali župni banket. Banket je uvijek bio uspješan, ne samo u prikupljanju pomoći za Župu, nego prvenstveno i glede zajedništva svih župljana. Uvijek je to bio događaj prvenstveno zajedništva. Slijedeće godine naša Župa će slaviti 90 godina postojanja. Stoga već sada mi spremamo poseban svečani banket, kako bismo proslavili tih velikih 90 godina. Banket će se održati 6. listopada 2002. godine. Župno vijeće je stoga odlučilo: budući da nas očekuje veliki posao za tu godišnjicu, odlučeno je da banketa ove godine neće biti. Svi se slažemo da će svi naši napori biti usmjereni k tom događaju. Hvala Vam svima na razumijevanju i podršci. Više informacija o mjestu i vremenu održavanja te središnje proslave dobit ćete narednih tjedana. Župno vijeće

EVIL

These days we cannot but think about evil. We all feel that evil is something that should not exist. Nevertheless, there is no area of human life in which its presence is not felt. The discrepancy between what is and what ought to be has always called for an explanation in the account that mankind has sought to give of itself and its surroundings. Evil can be seen through two different forms: the nature of evil and moral evil. With regard to the nature of evil, it should be observed that evil is of at least two kinds -- physical and moral. Physical evil includes all that causes harm to man. Physical evils directly due to nature are sickness, accident, death, etc. Poverty, oppression, and some forms of disease are instances of evil arising from imperfect social organization. Mental suffering such as anxiety, disappointment, and remorse, and the limitation of intelligence which prevents humans beings from attaining the full comprehension of their environment, are congenital forms of evil. Moral evil is the deviation of human will from the prescriptions of the moral order and the action which results from that deviation. Such action, when it proceeds solely from ignorance, is not to be classified as moral evil.

We Remember

On September 11th the whole world was shaken to its foundations by the savage acts of terrorism. A deep dark cloud of sadness lingers over us.We pray for the fatherless child....We pray for the motherless child....We pray for the childless father....We pray for the childless mother....We pray for the now lonely friend of a victim.....We pray for the rescuers......We pray for the traumatized workers......We pray for the sad and angry people o f N.Y. and Washington.....We pray for the world......Lord, please heal all our suffering. We express our deepest sympathies for all those touched by this devastation and we pray: Dear Father Almighty, As we mourn for all the souls who died Tuesday in the attack, we ask You to extend the full portion of Your mercy on their souls. We also beg of You to send the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, into the lives of their surviving relatives and friends. You, Father, and You alone, have the power to bring good out of evil. We humbly implore You to guide the hands, feet, and minds of all rescue workers, and police and fire workers who are responding to this crisis these days. Protect them! Guide them! Help them save lives! We will remember the victims of this evil attack this Sunday at a special 9:30 mass at which all the school children will participate, and also at the 11 A.M. Croatian mass. We also invite you to join our Prayer Group on Monday evening at 7:00 P.M. for a vigil, rosary, prayers, and meditations held in the church.

90^thAnniversary Parish Banquet-October 6, 2002

As you know , during the past few years we have held our annual parish banquet in our school hall. The banquet has been a huge success and an opportunity for us to come together and celebrate socially as a parish. Next year St. Jerome will be celebrating its 90^th anniversary as a parish. Plans are being made to hold a special banquet on October 6^th 2002, a year from now, to celebrate this memorable occasion. At the recent St. Jerome Parish Council meeting, the planning of the 90^th anniversary celebration was discussed. The Council decided that in light of the amount of time and work involved in planning next year=s special event, it would be appropriate not to have our regular annual parish banquet this year. We all agreed that our focus should be on planning and organizing next year's special celebration. As members of the Parish Council we are excited about this upcoming event, and trust that St. Jerome's Parish will again join together to make next year's 90^th Anniversary celebration a huge success. Additional information regarding this event will be provided to all parishioners as it becomes available. The St. Jerome Parish Council

Theater Group from Zagreb - Canceled

The famous comedy, the play Hamlet, A Little Village Show, that was scheduled to be performed under the sponsorship of our parish and Cardinal Stepinac Croatian School at Robert Healy School on Friday, September 21, has been canceled due to the national crisis. The troupe of actors is detained in Montreal. Out of respect for the terrible loss of life and suffering, they would not want to perform a comedy. They have expressed their concern and sympathy for our nation. Anyone who has already obtained tickets can receive a full refund from whomever they purchased them.
