M y G o o d Pe o p le o f St . A l b e r t t h e G r e a t:
A few months ago, I was informed that I was appointed to be the new pastor of St. Albert the Great Parish.
__________________________________________________________________________

My new assignment was to begin on 1 July 2011. I received this news with great joy. I am grateful that Cardinal George has placed confidence in my ability to serve the people of St. Albert the Great as pastor. I will do my best to build upon the good foundations that are in place and with Gods help, I hope we will have a grace filled future together. For the last 12 years, I have served as Pastor of the Parish of St. Blase in Summit. My experience there was filled with many blessings. It is a tri-lingual community (English, Spanish and Polish). Working in St. Blase Parish gave me the opportunity to experience and appreciate the richness of different cultures. Before being appointed to St. Blase, I served as

associate pastor of Our Lady of Knock Parish in Calumet City. I grew up in the small suburb of North Riverside. I went to the neighborhood public schools and graduated from Loyola University. After graduating from Loyola, I entered Mundelein Seminary and was ordained a priest on 23 May 1987. I have 3 brothers who are married and I have 8 nieces and nephews. Two of my brothers live in Chicago and one lives in Georgia. My mother lives in the suburb of River Forest. I have many good memories of St. Blase Parish and now look forward with great hope to the possibilities and great memories that are waiting for me at St. Albert the Great Parish.

Wishing you all Gods Blessings, Fr. Michael L. Zoufal

From Fr. Richard Czerniak SChr.

I come from southern-eastern Poland, where I spent the first 19 years of my life. After graduating from high school I entered the seminary of the Society of Christ for Polish Migrants in Poznan. It is a religious congregation that was founded to serve the Polish people outside their home country. I was ordained a priest in the Cathedral of Poznan in 2000. The next three years I spent working as a young associate pastor. In 2003, religious superiors sent me to work in Canada. There, for the first time I could perform my mission from my Society that is serving as a priest for Polish people who left Poland for various reasons. In Guelph, which belongs to the Diocese of Hamilton and is located in Ontario, I worked for one year. The next place where I served was Chicago, at the Mission Parish of the Holy Trinity. I worked there from 2004 to 2006. The next two years I served in the Parish of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Sterling Hts., Michigan. In 2008, I again returned to Illinois, this time to St. Blase Parish in Summit, where I have worked for three years. My work is always associated with the pastoral ministry for Polish speaking people and to the extent possible with my knowledge of the English language, joining in local ministry, which is the celebration of Mass in English language. I cordially greet all those who belong to the parish of St. Albert the Great.

SCHOOL NEWS

St. Albert is currently registering new families for the 2011 academic year. Call the school office @ 708-424-7757 for information or stop at the rectory and pick up a registration packet. We welcome you to become a part of our school family.
On Thursday June 16 our Youth Group went for Fun Day to the Six Flags Great America in Gurnee. We were little nervous because the weather that morning was not great, but later on Lord provided for us a beautiful sunny day. It was a great experience and we had a lot of fun, especially in the Water Park and on many roller coasters. Some of them were too scary to go on, but our teens werent afraid of anything. We would like to thank Fr. Rich Milek for sponsoring this trip, for his generosity, help and care for the teens of our parish. Last Thursday our Youth Group sponsored first Movie Night it was very successful. We had new people that are interested to join our group. I am very happy and proud that we are growing. Please let us pray for the youth of our parish and youth of the whole world. Starting July 2011 June 2012 our Archdiocese will celebrate a Year of Teens and Young Adults. This is the one of the six years of the Strategic Pastoral Plan that Archdiocese offers to Evangelize and make a good formation for our parishioners. In September we will start Youth Masses in our parish. I want to invite all of our young people to pray and think about joining our group. I also want to encourage parents to talk to your children, pray with them and help them in making crucial decisions. Our youth group can be a good start for them to recognize their vocation. Starting September 2011 we will have a weekly Sunday Scripture reflections that will be posted to our parish web site for all the teens and parishioners who are interested in deepening the Catholic faith. Check our parish web site www.stalbertgreat.com for all the Youth Events and how to search and become a friend of St. Albert parish on Facebook. Please pray for me during my studies in Mexico. I will not be around for 5 weeks, but dont think that I left the parish, I will be back in August. Our Youth Group welcomes our new pastor Rev. Michael Zoufal and associate pastor Rev. Ryszard Czerwnik. May God Bless all of us, Seminarian Marek Smolka CELEBRANT SCHEDULE SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2011 5:00 PM - Rev. Michael Zoufal SUNDAY, JULY 10, 2011 7:30 AM - Rev.

SAHRE THE BURDEN

Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28). These words of our Savior seem to be in stark contrast to the previous chapter from the same Gospel, when we were told that if we do not take up our crosses, we are not worthy of Christ. Connecting these two messages might help us on our faith journeys. Being a follower of Christ surely means that we must embrace the cross, in its mystery of both suffering and triumph. This is something that we need not do alone, for the burden is often too heavy for us to carry by ourselves. Who, then, do we turn to? We can turn to the Body of Christthe community of disciples gathered for worship. When we find the burden too heavy, let us remember that we can share that burden with our Christian sisters and brothers, who can help bring us rest. Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
