The chance for caring adults to provide students with one-on-one attention at school is priceless. Imagine if every elementary school in the country offered students who need a listening ear the chance to be a part of the Kids Hope USA program; what would schools look like? Answer: They would be filled with children who thrive and excel in every aspect of life. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE SEE OUR MINISTRY WEBSITE http://olwcatholic.org/kids-hope-usa TO REGISTER AS A VOLUNTEER PLEASE CONTACT MARGARET PICHON [email protected] or

Our Lady in September
According to tradition, the month of May is set aside in honor of the Virgin Mary and October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. But the end of summer and beginning of autumn are also remarkably rich with Marian feasts and memorials. On August 15 we celebrated the Solemnity of Our Lady’s Assumption, and then a week later—on the octave—the Church commemorated the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In thus linking these two feasts, the liturgical year reminds us that Our Lady was lifted up to heaven to exercise her royalty as the mediatrix of graces in the office of intercession on our behalf.
Last Friday, September 8 the Church observed the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Mother. To the usual practice of celebrating the “birthdays” of saints on the day of their death instead of the day of birth, the Church makes only two exceptions, for Our Lady and for John the Baptist (we commemorated his nativity on June 24 and his martyrdom on August 29). Like Christ whose birth we celebrate on December 25, both were born without original sin: Mary was immaculate from the first moment of her conception, while John was cleansed of original sin in Elizabeth’s womb at the Visitation of Mary.
On Tuesday, September 12, the Church honors the Most Holy Name of Mary. In keeping with Jewish cus-tom, Our Lady’s parents named her eight days after her birth, and they gave her the Hebrew name Maryam, meaning lady or sovereign (Domina in Latin). Thus we call Mary “Our Lady” as we call Jesus “Our Lord,” and at Mass we bow our heads at mentions of her name just as we reverence the Divine Name of her Son.
Then on Friday, September 15, falls the Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows, commemorated here under her English title as St. Mary at the Cross. On the octave day after the Nativity of Our Lady and a day after the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, we commemorate “The Seven Dolors of the Virgin,” as the day was known in the seventeenth century, and we remember the “seven swords” that pierced the Heart of Mary in her compas-sion for the sufferings of her Divine Son. Thus contemplating the spiritual martyrdom of the Mother of God, we look to our own Feast of Title, the Solemnity of Our Lady of Walsingham on Sunday, September 24, when we will make merry and recall Mary’s solemn joy in the Annunciation and even as we celebrate the beloved patroness of this our cathedral parish and of the whole North American Ordinariate.
