One of the outcomes of the Parish Coun-

place on the 18th of August this year.

Yes, folks, August is going to be

VERY interesting this year!

We will be accepting any items

that can be sold for the benefit of the

ongoing work here at Holy Name.

I am the living bread

that came down from heaven;

whoever eats this bread

will live forever;

and the bread that I will give

is my flesh

for the life of the world.

its 20th anniversary. This joyous event will take

ed several choirs from churches in the community to join in

the festivities; Beneficent Congregational Church, Bethel

AME, and Olney Street Baptist. A free will offering will be

taken. Refreshments will be served on the church grounds af-

gram.

A Wonderful Saturday

The inservice day for the Altarboys was very positive. Over 20

of our boys and young men were present. The day began with the

praying of the Rosary and a short talk by Mr. Berardo. A refresh-

er was done for the group followed by items specific to the newer

members. Hotdogs and Hamburgers were demolished quickly at

the lunch. This was followed by the older members doing some

silver polishing and the younger ones polishing the pews in the

Church. After the 4:00 PM Mass over 40 people attended the

Pawsox game. God blessed us with great weather for the game

and the Pawsox won! A good time was had by all.

Parish Council Meeting

August has begun and we need to

receive the different brochures that

each organization was asked to put

together outlining the work they do

and giving contact information.

Without this the neighborhood out-

reach is going to be delayed.

The African Women's Guild, St Vincent de Paul,

Una Voce, Young Menz Group, Young Friends of Fatima,

HNJ Youth Group, African Catholic Community Choir,

Society of St Tarcisius, Scholar Club, and Bereavement

Ministry, the ACCRI, Legion of Mary, Knights of Colum-

bus, Schola Cantorum, Gospel Choir, CCD, and the Prayer

Network and also the African Men’s

Guild and the Church Decorators

need to get a brochure or at the

veryleast a description of their minis-

try. A suggestion was made that the

Ushers, Church Cleaners and Noctur-

nal Adoration form themselves into

more cohesive groups that can re-

ceive other members more easily. Brochures from each

organization need to be submitted by the 26th of August!!

“The Lord waits for us to respond day by day to his holy counsels by our actions. In fact the days of this life are given us as a respite to correct our errors, as the Apostle Paul says: ‘Do you not know that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?’ (Romans i..4). And in his loving-kindness the Lord says, ‘Have I any pleasure in the death of

world and nurture and teach him, and the focus of much of the

New Testament is primarily the life of Jesus and the apostolic

ministry which followed his resurrection.

Why is she not mentioned much? It's not that surpris-

ing, because Mary was alive when most of the New Testament

was being written, and her humble nature may well have led her

to shun the limelight. Her role was to bring the Messiah into the

world and nurture and teach him, and the focus of much of the

New Testament is primarily the life of Jesus and the apostolic

ministry which followed his resurrection.

What happened to her after Pentecost? Mary the

mother of Jesus was given into John's care (John 19:26-27), and

John was a "pillar" of the Church in Jerusalem for some time (Gal

2:9), before living in Ephesus

until his exile to Patmos.

Some important points regarding participation

Vacation Bibles School Well, it almost didn’t happen! There were 3 children and 2 vol-

unteers. Then, on Monday there were 15 children a volunteer

couple and, throughout the week several youth volunteers to help

maneuver the children during the 5 mornings of the week. The

response of the children was fantastic and the parents and volun-

teers were very understanding. In fact, a good time was had by

all.

Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The 15th is a Holy Day of Obligation: The Solemnity of

the Assumption. Masses at Holy Name will be 7:30 AM

followed by Adoration during the Day. At 4:30 PM there

will be Confessions followed by Benediction at 5:15 PM

and the second Mass of the day at 5:30 PM. There will be a

sung Latin Mass at 7:00 PM. New Altar Boys as members

of the St. Tarcisius Society will be invested at the Masses. The miraculous assumption of Mary into heaven is, for

many people, one of the more difficult Catholic doctrines to ac-

cept, in part because it does not seem to appear explicitly in

Scripture, and also because the dogmatic definition of the doc-

trine did not happen until quite recently (1950, in fact, although

the belief itself is ancient). This article is intended to provide an

outline of the reasons why Catholics believe in this wonderful

event. The article is based upon some notes I put together for a

presentation on the Assumption, hence its question-and-answer

format in parts.

The Assumption: Definition "Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all

stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was fin-

ished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalt-

ed by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the

more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror

of sin and death. [LG 59; cf. Pius XII, Munificentissimus Deus

(1950): DS 3903; cf. Rev 19:16.]

"The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation

in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection

of other Christians:

"In giving birth you kept your virginity; in your Dormition you

did not leave the world, O Mother of God, but were joined to the

source of Life. You conceived the living God and, by your pray-

ers, will deliver our souls from death." [Byzantine Liturgy, Tro-

parion, Feast of the Dormition, August 15th.]"

- (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #966).

Did Mary Die? It's an open question in Catholic theol-

ogy (note how carefully the definition is phrased); but most theo-

logians think she did, hence the ancient title of the feast of the

Assumption, the "Feast of the Dormition", i.e., Mary's "falling

asleep" in death).

Is the Assumption in Scripture? Ludwig Ott, author of

the excellent book Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma candidly

says, "Direct and express scriptural proofs are not to be had." But

there is plenty of indirect evidence, which we'll explore.

What about John 3:13, "No one has ascended into

heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man"? The name "Assumption" is important, and one should be careful

not to mix expressions here; in Catholic terminology, the

"Assumption" is something that God did to Mary in bringing her

into heaven, over which she had no control, while "Ascension" is

what Jesus, being divine, did under his own power.

When is the last time Mary is directly mentioned in

Scripture? See Acts 1:14, and Gal 4:4.

Catechism: Reminder: All children of the parish who have not received the Sacra-

ment of Confirmation must be registered with the Office of Religious Educa

tion—regardless of whether they attend public school, private school, Catholic

school or are homeschooled.

For information please contact Tabitha Aldrich at

HolynameofJesusDRE@gmail.com.

Catechism Teachers Needed!!!

We need new teachers and also aids to help with this continued growth among

the younger part of our flock. Please speak to Tabitha, Fr. Joseph or Fr. Lazarus.

Don’t be scared! Lend a hand in the vineyard!!!

Featured Video: Mary of Nazareth

Mary of Nazareth is an epic motion picture on the

life of Mary, Mother of Christ, from her childhood through

the Resurrection of Jesus. Shot in high definition, it was

filmed in Europe with outstanding cinematography, a

strong cast, and a majestic music score. Actress Alissa Jung

gives a beautiful, compelling, and inspiring portrayal of

Mary.

The film vividly captures the essence of Mary’s

profound faith and trust in God amidst the great mysteries

that she lived with as the Mother of the Messiah, as well as

her compassionate humanity and concern for others, and the

deep love that she and Jesus shared for one another. The

movie underscores her special role in God’s plan for our

redemption, her unique relationship with Christ, and the

tremendous suffering that she endured in union with his

Passion and Death, as well as her serene joy at his Resur-

rection.

Something to think about…

A parishioner who en-

joys going with a group of

friends to various church bazaars

during the Advent season recent-

ly mentioned that one church in

particular makes it a point to

have members of their congrega-

tion at the door to greet the pa-

trons individually as they en-

tered the hall. She remarked that

it felt very natural and nice to receive such a welcome and

that, on more than one occasion, she overheard people say-

ing that they would like to attend such a church.

A smile and a word of greeting can make all the

difference.

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ But how can they call on him

in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe

in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear

without someone to preach? And how can people preach unless they are sent?”
