Dear Friends,

Starting school brings with it, among many things, the joy of beginning again! God

gives us many new starts in our life and the opening of the new academic year and

the pastoral year is yet another graced moment for all of us: to begin afresh! It’s a

time to set new goals, not only academically, but spiritually.

Salvation history chronicles many new starts which God offers to His peo-

ple. God’s encounter of man begins with Adam, but later when things go awry because of the sinfulness of

man, God offers us a new beginning, a new start, as He did with Noah, then Abraham, and later with King Da-

vid, and finally with Jesus.

Time and again, Our Lord comes to the aid of humanity and assists us with a new opportunity to start

over on the path to righteousness. So, even if last year’s academic and pastoral year was not as successful as

we may have hoped for, we have now another opportunity for a clean and fresh start. So, let’s resolve to set

out this academic year – as students, teachers, workers – with great zeal and great joy – in applying ourselves

in the coming weeks to the tasks of acquiring new learning, attaining the truth, and doing the good.

This past week many of our college students returned to their respective campuses assisted by their

doting parents in overstuffed family cars. Upon arriving and settling in, the young collegians bid a tearful

goodbye to their parents, but were no doubt buoyed up with new hope that the new academic year would bring

many wonderful experiences. These scenes of returning to school will be played out at every level from col-

lege to pre-school and pre-K in the coming days.

This coming week our Saint Agnes School students will also begin a new academic year. Grades 5th to

8th will return on Tuesday; Grades 1st to 4th will return on Wednesday; and then we will have a full house on

Thursday with all grades reporting. Our teachers have been making preparations for a joyful new year. So, we

welcome you back and we wish you joy as you begin your new year!

I take this opportunity to welcome our new PREP students and families and new catechists as well as

all our returning PREP students and catechists who will beginning their new pastoral year on Tuesday,

September 11th and Wednesday, September 12th. I thank our Catechists and Aides for generously contrib-

uting your time and talent to our program. I pray that this will be a wonderful year of spiritual growth with the

guidance of our Director of Religious Education (DRE) Debbie Smith. Welcome one and all to PREP!

While Labor Day weekend has come to mark the unofficial end to summer, our Federal holiday of La-

bor Day, which was founded in 1894, is designed to celebrate the importance of American labor, recognizing

the historical progress brought about by trade unions and the labor movement in advancing and protecting var-

ious rights of labor while building up a strong and prosperous America. We take this opportunity to salute all

those men and women who continue the important work of building America.

May the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Seat of Wisdom, guide and protect all our children as they begin a

new year with God’s grace, peace, and joy! More good things to come! Let’s strive to grow in holiness!

Devotedly ours in Jesus, Our Lord,

Rev. William G. Donovan, PhD, Pastor

BOY SCOUTS

Boy Scouts is not a club; it is a boy-led organization. An important aspect of this is that the boys

work to fund their own activities. One of T153’s fundraisers will take place after the Masses on the

weekend of September 8-9. Keep in mind that we are not "selling popcorn"—we know you can get

popcorn much cheaper elsewhere! With Trail's End popcorn, though, 73% of every purchase goes directly to

Scouting—it helps us do the things we do. Thanks for your support in our efforts! We take credit cards, too!

If you’re interested in finding out more about us, check out our new website at www.t153.org.

SILVER ROSE PROGRAM 2018

Tuesday, September 4th, 6:00 PM

The Our Lady of Guadalupe Silver Rose Program is

a "travelling" prayer service which is rooted in the

Blessed Mother's visitation with the peasant chil-

dren near Guadalupe, Mexico in 1531.

In 1960, an annual devotional

"Travelling Rose" effort was initiated

in Canada with a natural rose leaving

Ontario Canada in March and being

flown over much of the United States

to Laredo Texas. From there the rose

was transported by foot "run" on its

way to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in

Monterrey, Mexico. The culmination of the journey

at the Basilica occurred on December 12th, the Feast

Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe cerebrated in Cana-

da, United States and Mexico.

Since that time the program evolved into the K of

C's One Life, One Rose Our Lady of Guadalupe Sil-

ver Rose Program in existence today.

The K of C commissioned seven (7) Silver Roses

with are intended to travel different routes across the

United States each year on their journey to Mexico.

This year, Pennsylvania has been included on the

intended cross country path of one of those Silver

Roses. The PA State Council's East Region was des-

ignated to host the Silver Rose Prayer Program dur-

ing the 1st week of September (9/2-8/18), 2018.

The Silver Rose Devotion to the Blessed Mother

will take place at 6:00PM in the Chapel

on September 4th. All are welcome.

Apostolado Hispano

“Entonces, Jesús llamó de nuevo a la gente y les dijo: «Escuchad y

entended todos: Nada que entre defuera puede hacer al hombre

impuro; lo que sale de dentro es lo que hace impuro al hombre.”

(Mc 7, 14-15)

XXII Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Natividad de la Santísima Virgen María

La Iglesia recuerda el día del nacimiento de la Virgen María cada 8 de setiembre. El Evangelio no nos da da-

tos del nacimiento de María, pero hay varias tradiciones. Algunas, considerando a María descendiente de Da-

vid, señalan su nacimiento en Belén. Otra corriente griega y armenia, señalaNazareth como cuna de María.

Si pensamos por cuántas cosas podemos hoy alegrarnos, cuántas cosas podemos festejar y por cuántas cosas

podemos alabar a Dios; todos los signos, por muchos y hermosos que sean, nos parecerán tan sólo un pálido

reflejo de las maravillas que el Espíritu de Dios hizo en la Virgen María, y las que hace en nosotros, las que

puede seguir haciendo... si lo dejamos. San Agustín murió en Hipona (África) el 28 de agosto de 430. Su

cuerpo reposa en la basílica de San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro en Pavia, Italia.

Oración por la Natividad de la Virgen María

Padre Celestial, Tú has querido que en María se reflejase tu amor.

¡Gracias por habernos dado una madre tan perfecta!

Ella es para nosotros una nueva revelación

de todos los tesoros de bondad que se encuentran

escondidos en tu corazón paterno,

nos muestras hasta qué punto Tú eres bueno y dulce en tu amor.

Con su ternura y su solicitud, ella nos hace conocer

el afecto delicado y vigilante que te une a Tí con nosotros,

puesto que toda la fuerza de tu amor materno desciende

a ella de tu corazón de Padre.

En María no hay nada que no le haya sido dado

expresamente por Tí: ella trae a nosotros tú imagen,

nos hace descubrir tu rostro de amor.

Sin el consuelo de su presencia y la continuidad de

sus atenciones, nos faltaría una de las pruebas más

evidentes de que Tú estás continuamente cercano a

nosotros, para sostenernos, consolarnos, y protegernos.

Su mirada bondadosa y su inmensa piedad para

con los pecadores, como somos nosotros,

nos invitana creer que tu misericordia es inconmensurable y

que no se deja vencer por la ingratitud y por la maldad.
