22ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
AUGUST 30, 2015
We need your help!! We will be having a classroom
cleaning day on Saturday, Sept. 5th from 9:30-? to get our
classrooms ready for our first day of classes on Sept.
13th. All cleaning supplies will be supplied, but we need
lots of hand to clean the many areas we use throughout
the school year☺! We will meet in the basement and
branch out from there. Questions??Ccontact Valerie at
the office.
Common myths about Elementary RE:
Am I committed to every Sunday for the whole school year?
No. It is a team approach—our goal is 2 catechists and 2 aides to
give flexibility each Sunday so that only 2 of the 4 need to be present each week. We also have a sub list to contact in the event
that 2 of the 4 are not available on a given Sunday.
Do I need to be a parent to help out?
It doesn’t matter. Many times, our parents are the busiest ones.
Most of the time our confirmed high school teens, single adults,
empty-nesters or retired adults have more time on their hands to
devote to our parish children. Parents are the #1 Catechists for
their children but it is wonderful for the kids to get continuing education outside of their home life. However, it is also a strong testament for kids to see their parents in the classrooms, showing
that RE is important to them too. Free childcare is offered too!!
What if I don’t know it all?

There is no one that knows it all when it comes to the Catholic
faith and it’s teachings. We are all challenged to continue to learn
throughout our entire lives and this is a great opportunity for you
to learn as well. Many catechist and aides have told me they
learn so much each year because they are challenged to answer
the questions of their students!

Do I have to be Catholic or confirmed to help?
All Catechists should be confirmed and practicing their Catholic
faith. However, aides, and hall monitors are 2 volunteer opportunities at our parish that you do not have to be confirmed or Catholic to help. We want to encourage all to feel like there is a role
they can take in this ministry!

Pope Francis said, “The church is called to be always the open
house of the Father. Everyone can participate in some way in the
Church’s life; all can be part of the community.” This was said at
the Vatican by the Holy Father on August 5, 2015. This is very
timely as our parish’s Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
(RCIA) will begin in September. The RCIA is the Catholic Church’s
program to assist individuals to join in the life of the Catholic
Church. Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church uses this program for
those who have never been baptized, as well as for baptized
Christians seeking to become members of the Catholic Church. If
you, a friend or a family member wants more information about the
Catholic
faith,
please
call
(434-4341)
or
email
([email protected] ) at the church office and leave a message
for Deacon Paul.
Attention all teens!
We are very much in need of about 4 more volunteers for
our 10:00 nursery. We try and schedule you about once a
month along with another teen and adult coordinator to
help care for our little ones so their parents can worship
with fewer distractions.
We also have the same opportunity but helping with our
preschoolers and kindergarteners in our Children’s Church
program that begins mid-September!
If you might be interested in helping out in either of these
programs, please contact Valerie at 540-383-3915 (text me
or call) or email me at [email protected].
At Home With the Word scripture reading guides for the 2016 Liturgical Year are now available for sale after Mass. $8 per copy,

The Council of Catholic Women is sponsoring a Fall Bazaar on
Saturday, September 19 from 9 am to 3 pm. We invite anyone
who has a product to sell to participate. We know that we have
many talented parishioners who produce arts and crafts who
would like the opportunity to sell them. Or if you are in the business of selling a product from your home, like cosmetics, jewelry,
Amway, etc., you are welcome. Parish groups, that would like to
raise money, can work together to produce a product for sale.
Many thanks to all who have donated the wonderful fresh produce
to the Food Pantry. Our clients really do appreciate receiving "gifts
from gardens" for their families. We also wish to thank the following for their kind donations:
Staff of Life for their incredible breads; Friendly City Coop for all
their produce & specialty foods and Bella Gelato & Pastries for
their gourmet baked goods. All of these donations help our families feel there is hope as others care enough to provide them with
specialty items they could not afford. We also wish to thank the
anonymous donors who generously give us many different types
of produce and financial support, yet wish to go unrecognized.
Spaces will be available for $50. For more information contact
Carol Miller at 867-5263 or [email protected].
Ladies of the Parish: Our first 2015/2016 meeting for the Council
of Catholic Women will be Monday, September 14 at 1 pm in the
music room of the church basement. We will go over the calendar
for the year, plan some events and then have light refreshments. All female parishioners are invited to attend. On September 3, we will be helping at Friendship House. If you would like to
volunteer please let us know. Questions? Please call Meg Layman at (253) 691-1518.
To All, our heartfelt thanks for helping us with your donations !!!
Tickets available to the Papal Mass in Washington,
DC
Moms of small children: Our open play in the church nursery will
be starting up again after Labor Day. Come chat with other moms
while our children play. We will start Thursday, September 10
from 10-11:30am. Following there will be a kid-friendly rosary in
the church.
The Diocese of Richmond has been allocated a limited number of
tickets for the Papal Mass and canonization of Blessed Junipero
Serra on Wednesday, September 23, 2015 at the Basilica of the
National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington,
DC. (Please note, this Mass will be in Spanish) Tickets will be
made available through a lottery drawing open to any parishioner
within the Diocese of Richmond. There is no cost to enter the lottery and the tickets are provided free of charge. Each lottery winner will be allotted two tickets to the event. Winners will be announced on September 10, 2015. To enter the drawing and for
more details, visit www.cdrcmfl.org or contact the Diocesan Center
for Marriage, Family, and Life at 804-622-5109.
FLOW--Coming this Fall
FLOW (Adult Faith Formation) will offer Fr. Robert Barron's
"Priest, Prophet, King", a biblically based series. Through
this study, you will better understand Jesus, become more
familiar with Scripture, and realize your own priestly, prophetic, and kingly mission. This series will start the week of
October 11th and run for six consecutive weeks, being offered on Tuesday mornings, Thursday evenings, and Friday
mornings. Registration for this program will be held at
church after Masses the weekends of Sept. 26-27 and Oct.
3-4. There will be a charge for the study guide, payable at
the time of registration.
The Knights of Columbus Council at Our Lady of the Valley in Luray regrets that they had to cancel the bus to the Pope’s Mass at
the Basilica on September 23rd and apologizes for any inconvenience. Because of traffic, security measures, etc. the bus would
not be able to park any closer than several miles away. Also,
even access to the outside grounds of the Basilica and Catholic
University requires a ticket. IF anyone would win a ticket to this
Mass in the lottery, parking at a suburban Virginia Metro stop such
as Vienna (Orange Line) and taking the train to the CUA stop (Red
line) would be the best bet, although parking may be limited and
the trains will be crowded.
A Seminar on the State of Marriage and Family in America
Today
Pope Saint John Paul II wrote, “The family in the modern
world, as much as and perhaps more than any other institution, has been beset by the many profound and rapid
changes that have affected society and culture.” Join us for
a seminar on the current state of marriage and the family
in America today led by parishioner Skip Burzumato, former associate director of the National Marriage Project at
UVA and currently a professor in the department of sociology at Bridgewater College. This two-day seminar will take
place on Friday, Sept 11, 6-8pm and Saturday, Sept 12,
9am-noon. We will begin with a potluck supper at 6:00 on
Friday evening. This event is open to all single and married
adults, grandparents and older teenagers. Babysitting will
be provided. Sign up today at the table by the water
fountain.
Is the Diocese planning a pilgrimage to the Pope’s visit to
Philadelphia? (an outdoor Mass which can accommodate
more people is planned) Yes, they are currently planning an
overnight pilgrimage to Philadelphia for the weekend of September
26-27 to participate in the main events with the Holy Father. The
cost has not yet been finalized for the pilgrimage. Space will be
very limited and will likely be assigned by lottery. Those interested
in being included in the lottery for participation in this pilgrimage
should complete the online form. (See URL below) This is not a
guarantee of attendance, but only those on this list will be included
in the lottery. There will be a cost for this pilgrimage, but that has
not yet been determined. More details will be forthcoming.- See

El 4 de septiembre es el último día para entregar las formas de
Educación Religiosa y garantizar un lugar para su niño en la
clase de Educación Religiosa el 13 de septiembre. Después del
4 de septiembre, las registraciones van a ser puestas en “lista
de espera” y esos niños serán registrados después del primer
día de clase el 13 de septiembre. ¡¡Gracias por entregar las formas a tiempo!!
Mitos comunes sobre ER Elementaría:
¿Estoy comprometida a todos los domingos por todo el año
escolar?
No. Esto es una cercanía en equipo-nuestra meta es tener 2
catequistas y 2 asistentes para dar flexibilidad cada domingo
para que solo necesiten estar presentes 2 de 4 cada semana.
Nosotros también tenemos una lista de contacto en el evento de
que 2 de los 4 no estén disponibles algún domingo.
¿Necesito ser un padre/madre para ayudar?
No importa. Muchas veces, nuestros padres son los más ocupados. La mayoría del tiempo nuestros adolescentes confirmados,
adultos solteros o adultos retirados tienen más tiempo en sus
manos para dedicar a los niños de nuestra parroquia. Los padres son los Catequistas #1 para sus niños pero es maravilloso
para los niños tener educación continua fuera de su vida familiar. Sin embargo, es también un fuerte testimonio para los niños
ver a sus padres en el salón de clase, proyectando que ER es
también importante para ellos ¡¡También se ofrece cuidado de
niños gratis!!
¿Qué pasa si yo no lo sé todo?
No hay nadie que lo sepa todo cuando se trata de la fe Católica
y sus enseñanzas. Todos estamos estimulados a continuar
aprendiendo durante toda nuestras vidas y esta es una gran
oportunidad para que usted aprenda también. ¡Muchos
catequistas y asistentes me han dicho que ellos han aprendido
mucho cada año porque ellos son desafiados a contestar
preguntas a sus estudiantes!
¿Necesito ser Católico o confirmado para ayudar?
Todos los Catequistas deben ser confirmados y practicantes de
su fe Católica. Sin embargo, asistentes y monitores de pasillos
son 2 oportunidades de voluntarios en nuestra parroquia que
usted no tiene que estar confirmado o Católico para ayudar.
¡Nosotros queremos estimular a todos para que sientan que hay
un rol que pueden tomar en el ministerio!

What is VIRTUS?
VIRTUS is a program created by the National Catholic Risk Retention Group in the United States with a "Protecting God's
Children" component that combats sexual abuse of children in the Church. It is currently in use in over 80 dioceses in the
United States.
VIRTUS focuses on educating teachers, parents, and other adults who interact with children about sexual abuse and
providing them with information to help prevent abuse. This takes place in 'awareness sessions' led by trained facilitators.
The awareness sessions consist of videos, worksheets, and discussions. The videos incorporate interviews with both victims and convicted perpetrators.
VIRTUS is a required element for anyone who plans to become involved in a ministry that comes in contact with children or
youth. It is also a great resource for parents and grandparents!!!
To register go to www.virtusonline.org and follow the prompts. There is no cost for the program and free childcare can be
provided. Please contact Valerie at the office for more information
