From the Desk of Friar Joe November 29 /30
We enter the Holy Season of Advent wherein “we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Christ the Lord.” Advent is not Lent, so it’s not so much a penitential season, as one of watch-
ing, waiting, anticipation, and preparation. This year more than ever, let us not get caught up in the mania, the commercialization, the rush and stress. We have enough of that. Let’s intently pray, reflect, and make our way slowly with faith towards the Manager of Bethlehem. Friar Thom-as of Celano in his First Life of St. Francis wrote: Francis was intimately united with Jesus—Jesus always in his heart, Jesus on his lips, Jesus in his ears, Jesus in his eyes, Jesus in all the other members of his body….Often when he was on a journey, meditating or singing about Jesus, he would leave the road and start inviting all creatures to praise Jesus.”
Tuesday, December 8, is the Solemnity of Mary’s Immaculate Conception, the Patroness of Ameri-ca, and a HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION. Vigil Mass is Monday, December 7, at 7:00 P.M. Masses on December 8 are 6:30 A.M., 8:45 AM. (School), 12:00 Noon, and 7:00 P.M. Our Confirmation Class will join us at 7:00 P.M. that Tuesday. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you! New Missalettes and new Polish “Pan Z Wami”, that begin this weekend, are available for each fami-ly, but you must take them home each time, as still nothing can be left in the pews. Ushers will assist you.
CHRISTMAS EVE: 3:00 P.M., 5:00 P.M., 10:00 P.M., 12 Midnight (POLISH) CHRISTMAS DAY: 7:00 A.M., 9:00 A.M. (POLISH), and 11:00 A.M.
ALL OF OUR CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY MASSES WILL RE-QUIRE REGISTRATION AND TICKET TO ENTER THE BASILICA. For you, the faithful who attend regularly, we offer an early printed registration form for you to make a first and second choice of Christmas Mass Preference. The registration forms are availa-ble at all Weekend Masses this Thanksgiving Weekend. Only one form is needed for a family. These paper regis-tration forms will be due in the Parish office by Friday, December 4, at 5:00 P.M. After that day Christmas Mass Registration will be done on-line via our St. Stanislaus Basilica Web Site to be coordinated on-line by Krystian Jurkowski, our Web Master at www.statansbasilica.org Special thanks to Sr. Andrea and Sr. Agnesa who will coordinate the initial paper form registration. You will receive an actual Entrance Voucher in the mail. For the On Line Registration, Krystian will send your entrance voucher via your email or via your cell phone. Thank you for your cooperation. We MUST DO THIS for safety and occupancy protocols. Please tell those who may not see the bulletin or web site, as ENTRANCE TO THE BASILICA FOR CHRISTMAS MASSES WILL ONLY BE WITH A VOUCHER. WINTER WEATHER POLICY: Remember, if St. Stanislaus School is closed due to snow, ice, inclement weather, the 6:30 A.M. Mass will be celebrated privately in the Friary, to allow for snow/ice removal and to assure safety for all. The 12:00 Noon Mass will be held as usual. Please use good judgment, if the weather is very bad, stay home! Be safe! Jesus will smile on you!
DRIVE THRU Spaghetti Dinner will take plane on Saturday, December 12, 3:00-6:30 P.M. in the School Parking Lot. Raffles and purchase of Polish Foods are part of the celebration - see page 6 for more information. SUPPORT YOUR BASILICA. Thanks to the dedicated committee and volunteers.
Peace and all good!
Friar Joe

OUR DEEP GRATITUDE IS EXTENDED TO Virginia Bauch, Roma Wilk, Mary Blanchette and Bob Buckley for preparing our Annual All Souls' Liturgy and Remembrance Table. Their ef-forts helped us pray for and honor our parishioners who entered Eternal Life.
FIRST FRIDAY ADORATION - December 4 is the first Friday of the month, our day to pray in reparation for sin, both personal and communal. Our day of prayer begins after the 6:30 a.m. Mass with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and concludes with Mass cele-brated in Polish at 7:00 p.m. Please plan to spend some time in prayer and reflection be-fore our Eucharistic Lord.
"The Minister Provincial, Very Rev. James McCurry OFM Conv., expressly exempts Fr. Paul Miskiewicz, OFM Conv., for reasons of age, health, and medical vulnerability from ministering Holy Communion on the tongue, as long as the pandemic continues." The Pastor must make this known to the parishioners and simply instruct those who plan to receive Holy Communion on the tongue to approach a different Minister of the Eucharist. SO, if you insist on receiving the Holy Eucharist on the tongue, at Liturgy, where Fr. Paul is the presider, please go to Communion to the Deacon or Eucharistic Minister, if present! This exemption is fully in compliance with Bishop McManus' decree. He indicated to me that an announcement could be made before every Mass that those who wish to receive communion on the tongue can be instructed to wait until the end of the communion line or join a specially designated line. Respectfully, Fr. Joseph Bayne, OFM Conv., Rector/Pastor
Due to the Red Status of Chicopee and upswing in cases, the following COVID 19 PRECAUTIONS are implemented immediately for the Basilica:
NO ALTAR SERVERS until further notice as it increases contact with books, vessels, etc. Lectors, please check your materials quickly in the Sacristy, and then go immediately to your seat
near the pulpit. We must reduce the number of folks crowded in the Sacristy. Thank you all for your patience and cooperation. Blessings and Peace! Friar Joe Bayne, OFM Conv., Rector/Pastor
B I U L E T Y N Parafialny
29 LISTOPAD - I NIEDZIELA ADWENTU Kolejny Adwent w moim życiu, kolejna dana mi szansa na to, abym w końcu dostrzegł co naprawdę się liczy, co naprawdę jest najważniejsze? Bóg po raz kolejny wychodzi naprzeciw człowiekowi i szuka go z troską. Znowu pozwala się ujrzeć i zbliżyć, a jedynie ode mnie samego zależy, czy Jego wysiłki będę uwieńczone sukcesem, czy po raz kolejny zmarnuję daną mi szansę? Adwent to nie tylko czas oczekiwania na Boże Narodzenie, ale to przede wszystkim czas przygotowania na przyjście Boga-Człowieka, na spotkanie go w moim życiu. A może warto by było obudzić się z letargu i uśpienia? A może warto by było zrobić rachunek sumienia i zobaczyć, jak to naprawdę jest z tym moim życie pełnym samozadowolenia i faryzejskiego uznawania się za lepszego od innych, a jednocześnie pełnym kantów, szwindli i nieuczciwości? A może trzeba by było poprosić: "Obyś rozdarł niebiosa i zstąpił"? A może warto w końcu wyprostować swoje ścieżki życiowe i wyrównać drogi? Sklepy pełne są już świątecznych i mikołajkowych prezentów, pomału rozpoczyna się szaleństwo przedświątecznych zakupów. I szkoda, żeby znowu te cztery tygodnie Adwentu utonęło w przedświątecznej szamotaninie i drugorzędnych przygotowaniach. Będą przecież -w niejednej parafii- adwentowe rekolekcje, będą Msze św. Roratnie, będą okazje do spowiedzi i do rzetelnego przygotowania się do prawdziwego Bożego Narodzenia, a ja ... czyżbym znowu miał to przespać lub -okazję do spotkania Boga- zaprzepaścić w szaleństwie mikołajkowych i gwiazdkowych zakupów? I czy moim dzieciom z całych świąt ma pozostać jedynie bardziej lub mniej tandetny prezencik pod choinką? Panie, obym się przygotował na dzień Twego przyjścia nie tylko zewnętrznie. KAZIK
W środę, 2 grudnia zapraszamy na MSZĘ ŚW. w j. polskim o godz. 7:00 PM. Po Mszy św. wystawienie Najświętsze-go Sakramentu.

OPŁATKI – na święta Bożego Narodzenia można nabyć u naszego organisty, Pana Janka Makselona lub w biurze parafialnym.
Prosimy o składanie ofiar na KWIATY by udekorować Bazylikę lub na posiłki dla ubogich na święta BOŻEGO NARODZENIA. Specialne formularze na ten cel znajdują się na stronie 5-tej naszego biuletynu.
