TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME -LABOR DAY, WE HONOR ALL WORKERS It’s September. It’s Labor Day Weekend. School Begins. We’re back to work. Our Parish moves into high gear. The busy season is here so try to enjoy this holiday weekend first; get in some precious Labor Day hours of fun, taking it easy on Sunday afternoon (after Church!) and on Monday.

Labor Day is a welcome holiday. But like our other major American holidays, we have to keep reminding ourselves just what the holiday is all about. We honor men and women who work hard to earn a living for their families. Employees have the right to organize themselves and negotiate with their employers. The Labor Day holiday is largely the creation of the 19th and 20th century American labor union movement. It is connected to our own Catholic Church because the Popes of the modern era, beginning in 1891 with Pope Leo XIII’s pioneer encyclical, RERUM NOVARUM, have strongly endorsed the right of employees to organize and negotiate for good wages, safe working conditions appropriate benefits, and just treatment of each worker as a person of dignity and worth. Pope Pius XI, Saint John XXIII, Blessed Paul VI, Saint John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI and now Pope Francis have all taught a similar message about the dignity of human labor and the primacy of each person’s dignity in the workplace. The Second Vatican Council addressed these themes as well. We recall that Saint Joseph, the Carpenter, is the patron of all workers on his May 1st Feast

Day as Saint Joseph the Worker .

The American Bishops speak to our country every year on Labor Day: “We must advocate for jobs and wages that truly provide a dignified life for individuals and their families, and for working conditions that are safe and allow for a full flourishing of life outside of the workplace. Unions and worker associations, while imperfect, remain an essential part of the effort, and people of faith and goodwill can be powerful leaven to ensure that these groups, so important in society, continue to keep human dignity at the heart of their efforts.”

The labor movement’s purpose and the vision that our Church embraces in the workplace is a noble one. The labor union movemen t has benefited millions of families in our country and around the world and we honor these gains. Many of our own families have benefited from these gains. Saint John Paul II taught extensively about the dignity of every working person and the positive place our personal work has in building a better world in

God’s sight. Just relationships between employers and their employees embody the Church’s call for a just and compassionate world. We celebrate every honest job, blue collar or while collar, mostly hard physical labor or largely intellectual effort. Labor Day honors all of these jobs. We continue to pray for millions of working people and their families in our country and in other lands who, through no fault of their own, cannot find a decent job because there just aren’t enough jobs in the economy to accommodate everyone who wants and needs work. There is still so much more to be done in our country so that everybody can celebrate Labor Day with their families while having a good job and receiving a living wage. May God guide our nation in the great task of creating a more just economy that truly honors the dignity of work and the right of every worker to decent employment.

Please enjoy Labor Day Weekend. Be proud that our Catholic Church has a comprehensive and challenging vision of the economic order, and the enduring value of human work and the dignity of every working person. Thank God for the work that He enables you and me to do in our own lives for the good of our families and for society itself. Happy Labor Day!

Saint Teresa of Calcutta, Pray For Us! God Bless, Father Herb On Monday, September 5, Labor Day, there will be one Mass only at 9:00 AM in the Church. The Rectory Office is

closed. There will be NO bingo on Sunday, September 4th

.

WORDS OF TITHING FROM THE PEWS: From the pastor: Jesus gives us Mary, His Mother, to be our Mother. Mary loves each one of us with a mother’s love. God’s giving to us knows no bounds. Our gifts to Him are our humble and generous response to His love for each of us. Words on tithing from the Pews: With Tithing, we teach our children that they, too, have an obligation to give back to God and to be thankful for everything given to them with their money, their

hands and their hearts.

Thank you for your sacrifice of Tithing!

AIR CONDITIONER IS OUT OF ORDER The air conditioner for our Daily Chapel is out of order and needs

some serious repairs. Our parish is now soliciting bids for this work. Until repairs are complete, we will have our daily Masses and other Chapel scheduled events in the main church. We regret any inconvenience this may cause anyone. We look forward to returning to our Daily Chapel once the repairs are complete. Thank you for your patience.

ELECTRONIC GIVING WITH FAITH DIRECT With the arrival of autumn, I invite you to join Faith Direct,

our parish’s electronic eGiving program. Our to-do-lists can

before you go to Mass. Visit www.faithdirect.net and use our

REFURBISHING OUR ADORATION CHAPEL

CONTRIBUTONS ARE WELCOME

In late August we upgraded our Perpetual Adoration Chapel in

the Convent. The Chapel and the hallway leading into and

near the Chapel have been completely repainted to maintain

and beautify this precious devotional space. The restroom has

been redone as well. Our Chapel lighting has been moderately

strengthened to make it easier on the eye for our Chapel

spiritual reading. The new lighting and painting are

deliberately done in soft shades of light and color to keep the

Chapel a quiet, gentle place for our prayer and adoration. The carpet is being cleaned, too. We hope these changes will

enhance your prayer experience when you pray in our Chapel.

Several good people who love our Chapel asked to volunteer

to help get this work done. Thank you for your eagerness to

help. We decided, however, to have this work done by

professional contractors to minimize the amount of time that

we would have to close the Chapel and to make sure that we

can hold those doing the work accountable to the high

standards which are so necessary for the Adoration Chapel.

Several people have offered to make a contribution to help pay

for this important Chapel project. Already, we have received several substantial contributions towards the Chapel work.

Thank you very much. We certainly welcome and invite you

to make a financial gift to help us maintain and upgrade our

Adoration Chapel experience. Many who visit our Adoration

Chapel regularly, or even occasionally, really want to

contribute so they can express their gratitude to Our Lord for

His visible Eucharistic presence to us in our Chapel every day,

24 hours a day.

Thank you all for helping our parish make our Chapel an even

better oasis of quiet beauty and peacefulness where we meet

Jesus face to face in Eucharistic Adoration at any time of the

day or night. Please do come and visit with Jesus in our Adoration Chapel. He is here for us all.

Mensaje del párroco: EL DÍA DEL TRABAJO ESTÁ AQUÍ. HONRAMOS A LOS TRABAJADORES

Es septiembre. Estamos celebrando el fin de semana del Día del Trabajo. Comienza la escuela. Todo el mundo regresa a trabajar.

Nuestra parroquia se mueve a toda velocidad. Por favor, traten de disfrutar el fin de semana de fiesta y pasar algunas horas de

diversión, relajándose el domingo por la tarde (después de Misa) y el lunes.

El Día del Trabajo es un día de fiesta muy esperado. Pero como la mayoría de nuestros días de fiesta, tenemos que recordar de qué

se tratan. Separamos un día para honrar a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan muy fuerte para mantener a sus familias. Reconocemos

que los empleados tienen el derecho de organizarse y negociar con sus patronos. El Día del Trabajo es mayormente la creación del

movimiento de unión laboral americano en los siglos 19 y 20. Está también relacionado con nuestra Iglesia Católica por el hecho de

que los Papas de la era moderna, comenzando con en el 1891 con el Papa Leo XIII y su encíclica RERUM NOVARUM, han apoyado

fuertemente el derecho de los obreros a organizarse y negociar con sus patrones: buenos salarios, condiciones de trabajo seguras,

beneficios apropiados y simplemente trato justo al empleado como una persona digna y valorizada. Los Papas Pío XI, Juan XXIII,

Pablo VI, Juan Pablo II, Benedicto XVI y ahora el Papa Francisco, todos han educado en gran detalle el mensaje consistente sobre el

valor de la mano de obra y la premicia de la dignidad de cada persona en el ambiente de trabajo. El Concilio de Vaticano Segundo también aclaró estos temas. Recordamos a San José, el carpintero, el patrón de los obreros, el 1ro de mayo en la Fiesta de San José

Obrero.

Los obispos americanos le hablan a nuestro país todos los años en el Día del Trabajo: “Debemos abogar por el empleo y los

salarios que realmente proporcionan una vida digna para las personas y sus familias, por las condiciones de trabajo que sean

seguras y permitir un pleno florecimiento de la vida fuera del lugar de trabajo. Los sindicatos y asociaciones de trabajadores,

mientras que imperfecta, siguen siendo una parte esencial del esfuerzo para las personas de fe y buena voluntad que puedan ser

poderosa levadura y asegurar que estos grupos, tan importantes en la sociedad, sigan manteniendo la dignidad humana en el centro

de sus esfuerzos”.

El propósito del movimiento obrero y la visión que abarca nuestra Iglesia en el lugar de trabajo es noble. El movimiento sindical

ha beneficiado a millones de familias en nuestro país y alrededor del mundo; y honramos estas ganancias. Muchas de nuestras

familias se han beneficiado de estas ganancias. San Juan Pablo II educó bastante acerca de la dignidad de cada obrero y del lugar positivo que nuestro trabajo personal tiene en construir un mundo mejor a la vista de Dios. Simplemente las relaciones entre

empleados y patronos encarnan el llamado de la Iglesia para un mundo justo y compasivo. Celebramos cada empleo honesto, de

cuello azul o cuello blanco, mayormente el de mano de obra físicamente fuerte o de gran esfuerzo intelectual. El Día del Trabajo

honra todos los trabajos.

Seguimos orando especialmente por millones de personas y sus familias que trabajan en nuestro país y otros países que, por causas

ajenas, no pueden encontrar un trabajo decente, porque no hay suficientes puestos de trabajo en la economía, para dar cabida a todo el

que quiera y necesite trabajar. Todavía hay mucho más por hacer en nuestro país para que todos puedan celebrar junto a sus familias

el Día del Trabajo, teniendo un buen trabajo y recibiendo un salario digno. Que Dios guíe a nuestra nación en la gran tarea de crear

una economía más justa, que realmente le haga honor a la dignidad del trabajo y los derechos de todo trabajador a un empleo digno.

Por favor, disfrute el fin de semana del Día del Trabajo. Esté orgulloso de que nuestra Iglesia tiene una visión amplia y desfiante

del orden económico, y el valor perdurable del trabajo humano y la dignidad de cada persona que trabaja. Gracias a Dios por el

trabajo que nos permite ejercer en nuestras vidas, por el bien de nuestras familias y el de la sociedad misma. ¡Feliz Día del Trabajo!
