Septiembre – mes de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores
5-6 de septiembre – vigésimo-tercer domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Este fin de semana celebramos en los Estados Unidos el Día del Trabajo y el próximo viernes se
conmemora el décimo-cuarto aniversario de los ataques del 11 de septiembre. Ese día cuando
tantos enfrentan dolorosas memorias de ese evento, recemos por consuelo y paz.
Lean en el SHAMROCK de septiembre sobre los himnarios de nuestra Iglesia.
Nuestra parroquia ha usado los mismos libros himnarios en los últimos diez años y ellos se encuentran en
muy malas condiciones, además de que están desactualizados y no contienen los cambios hechos en el Misal
Romano de los últimos tres años.
Si Ud. desea contribuir para la compra de nuevos himnarios podrá hacer una donación a la Iglesia (se sugiere
una donación de $25 para cada himnario) y se incluirá en la tapa del himnario una ficha con el nombre de la
persona, viva o fallecida, que Ud. quiera homenajear. Desde luego les agradecemos a todos sus
contribuciones.
The RARA item of the month is rice.
Volunteers Working with Parish Children & Youth: The Diocese requires that all volunteers must attend
a VIRTUS training session to be certified in this child-protection program. The earliest and closest one is at
St. Francis of Assisi, Staunton, on Sat., Sept. 12, from 2-5 p.m. And, a ScreeningOne background check is
required every 3 years. To comply, simply stop by the parish office and fill out the paperwork. This is required
for those teaching our children or youth, driving them to events, chaperoning, and hosting parish activities in
their homes.

basket in the narthex of the church. THANK YOU for your generosity!
Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions:
UNIVERSAL: Opportunities for the Young. That opportunities for education and employment may
increase for all young people.
EVANGELIZATION: Catechists. That catechists may give witness by living in a way consistent with the
faith they proclaim.
