WORSHIP
From Father Hathaway’s Desk
The Holy Father’s May
Prayer Intentions
The Power of Beauty to Evangelize
Universal: Care for the suffering. That, rejecting the culture of indifference, we may
care for our neighbors who suffer, especially the sick and the
poor.
Evangelization: Openness
to mission. That Mary’s intercession may help Christians in
secularized cultures be ready to
proclaim Jesus.
Please join me today in the Parish Hall after the 10:45 am Mass if
you have not yet had the chance to hear about the plans for repairing
and enhancing our church. I asked one of your fellow parishioners to
share with you, below, how his contact with the Beautiful led him to
the Catholic faith. As discern your part in supporting this endeavor,
please add to your consideration the role of a more beautiful worship
space in transmitting the truths of our faith and in generating new
and deeper faith. And, please pray with me our special Anniversary
Campaign Prayer, also below.
“The good, the true and the beautiful. What is more fundamental to our Faith than this? Before my conversion, before I
understood the good and the true, I was drawn to the beautiful. I
sat, with little thought of God and none of his Church, in the
churches and the great cathedrals of Europe and I soaked in
their tranquility, inspiration and beauty. And I asked, ‘What
moved these people to build so beautifully for their God?’ And
the answer came: because these people (our people) knew the
good and the true and expressed it through the beautiful. And
there you have it: the good, the true and the beautiful the fullness of Faith—took root in this poor sinner beginning with the
beauty of God’s house.
“For us today it is not as dramatic as all that. We are living our
Faith and worshipping in a fine space (albeit one that was designed as the parish hall of a much bigger church). And God
dwells securely in it. But improving a ‘fine space’ into an inspiring and beautiful one that works with what we have but will
leave us with so much more is a great gift we can give to God to
celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the parish. I urge parishioners to do
whatever they can to make this happen. Who knows? Perhaps one day
someone will sit in the church and ask ‘what moved these people to build
so beautifully for their God?’”
~ Craig Sadick, a St. Veronica parishioner, converted from Judaism
to Catholicism. He was baptized, confirmed and received the Holy
Eucharist for the first time on Easter Sunday, 1988, at the Cathedral
of St. Mary in San Francisco.
Loving Father,
at this time in the life of our Parish, we turn to You with
grateful hearts for what we have,
and with great anticipation for what is yet to be.
Bless us with a sense of unity, a spirit of cooperation, and
generous sacrificial hearts as we face the responsibilities
and challenges of this Anniversary Campaign.
We know there is much to do.
We believe our goals are rooted in Your Word
and in Your Work.
Please guide us, console us, and bless us with Your Merciful Presence, now and through the years to come, Amen.
Holy Mary, Our Hope, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us!

Special Collecon for Nepal Earthquakes
At the request of Bishop Loverde, St. Veronica
will be taking up a special collection this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, May 23rd and
24th, to assist those affected by the recent earthquakes in Nepal that have killed over 7,500 people, injured over 16,000, and left hundreds of
thousands homeless. People urgently need basic
essentials, such as blankets, safe water, food,
medical care, hygiene and pastoral counseling.
Your generosity will help relieve the immense
suffering brought about by this natural disaster.
Parent Alert
The Fairfax County School Board is currently in
the process of transferring sensitive Family Life
Education (FLE) topics out of the optional FLE
curriculum into the mandatory Health curriculum. If adopted, parents will lose the ability to opt
their children out of subjects that carry significant moral implications.
Concerned parents can review and make comments on the proposed changes and make comments until June 19th. See website http://
www.fcps.edu/is/hpe/fle.shtml. In addition, parents can attend the regular School Board meeting
where the Board will vote on the changes on June
25th, at 7:00 pm at Luther Jackson Middle
School, 3020 Gallows Rd., Falls Church.
Blessing St. Veronica’s Vegetable Garden
The Parish Office will be closed Monday,
May 25th in observance of Memorial Day.
Please remember in your prayers this day
all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice of
their lives in defending our country and
our freedoms. Wishing you a happy and
relaxed Memorial Day!
Father Hathaway then walked by each bed and
asked which seedlings were growing. The crops
this year include many familiar vegetables, from
tomatoes and green and red peppers to kale, cucumbers, and different summer squashes. Unlike
in earlier years, this year’s crops will be delivered
to Catholic Charities’ St. Lucy Project in Manassas instead of to Christ House in Alexandria. The
recently opened project is now the main distribution center of foods to be delivered to local parishes and food banks to feed the neediest.
A secondary goal of the garden is to use it as a
teaching tool to help youngsters understand the
source of wholesome food. That way they will be
able to feed their families, themselves, and the
neediest when they become adults.
As with most apostolates, the Food and Faith Organic Garden always welcomes volunteers who
can take the time to weed, water, and pick ripe
vegetables. For more information, please contact
Sandy Greeley at [email protected].
Last Sunday, May 17th, a small crowd of parishioners, including several members of the garden

Garden. Assisted by two altar servers, Charlie and C O R N E R S T O N E

beds with holy water, blessing the fruitfulness of
the garden, those who will be nourished by it, and
those who will tend it and make its bounty possible.

AROUND ST. VERONICA & THE DIOCESE
A FAREWELL Message from Mike Filamor:
Dearest brothers and sisters,
It’s been an absolute blessing and pleasure to serve you as young adult co-leader and coordinator
at St. Veronica for the past five years!
After careful discernment, I believe it's time for me to step down. I believe it’s time to take St. Veronica Young Adults to the next level, with fresh ideas and new voices and leadership!
Together with your hard work, prayers, support of each other, presence, and energy, we have
grown into one of the biggest, most active, and most welcoming young adult groups in the Diocese of
Arlington in such a short period of time. From being down to 5 active members in June 2010 to having over 250 young adults at our last BBQ Extravaganza, including people coming from hundreds of
miles away, this has all culminated in widespread recognition in the national and local press, and unprecedented attendance at our big events and weekly meetings. We have become well-known for offering quality thought-provoking studies and top-notch, super creative, events that draw young
adults from all over the DC area.
Most of all, we have become a caring community of friends and family of brothers and sisters in
Christ. Indeed, I truly believe that because we’ve centered our community on Christ with the guidance of Mother Mary, we have become strong. We’ve witnessed many miracles from our prayer ministry at our weekly meetings, many personal conversions from those who come, and countless lifelong friendships forged.
I am confident that God will continue to bless our community with growth and many graces.
With that in mind, please take the next couple of weeks to pray and discern how you may be called
to help out our community, whether in small or big ways.
An Invitation to be a part of SVYA's future:
Sunday, May 31st will be my last day as leader of SVYA. On that day, at Noon in the Parish Hall, I
invite you to come to a special “Planning the Future of SVYA & Brunch.” We welcome any and
even out-of-the-box ideas on the direction of our community should take from this point forward.
Everything is on the table. This is YOUR community. I invite you to make it your own!
Feel free to call me or email me at [email protected] with any questions as you discern
what you can contribute to our community or any ideas you might have, especially if you can’t make
the planning meeting/brunch.
Thank you for allowing me the privilege to serve you the past five years!
Blessings in Christ, our hope!
Mike Filamor
P.S. A special thank you to our pastor, Fr. Edward Hathaway, for his unwavering support of our
young adult community though the years. Our community would not have been possible without
him. To our parochial vicar, Fr. Michael Isenberg, and our former parochial vicar Fr. Charles
Smith, who have served as spiritual support at our meetings and events. And to our Parish Apostolates Coordinator/superwoman Carol Nyce for taking care of the millions of little logistical details!
Finally, a fond and warm thank you to all the co-leaders I’ve had the privilege of serving with the
past five years: Carolyn Greene, Scott Gorman, Althea Katona, and Emily Mason. You have
been an inspiration: It is because of you that SVYA has grown, and countless young adults have experienced Christ in our community!

Dear Father Hathaway:
It gives me immense joy to learn that your parish has achieved its goal for the
2015 Bishop’s Lenten Appeal (BLA). Your commitment to this important appeal,
demonstrated through your strong leadership, helps parishioners to understand the
impact that each one of us can make in our diocese. I thank you for your willingness
to encourage parishioners to reflect upon the blessings that God has bestowed upon
them and then to share those gifts with a joyful spirit, thus exemplifying this year’s
BLA theme of “Stewards of Christ Sharing Gospel Joy!”
I also would like to express my appreciation to your dedicated parish staff and
lay leaders whose collaboration was vital for the success of the BLA in your parish.
Moreover, please communicate my heartfelt gratitude to your parishioners for
their generous support of the BLA. The programs, offices and ministries funded by
the BLA are essential to our diocesan pastoral mission in alleviating the spiritual, educational, and charitable needs of our diocese and improving the lives of countless people throughout our many parishes.
You and your parish family remain in my prayers. Please pray for me as, together, we continue our mission to strengthen our diocesan church.
Gratefully in the Heart of Christ,
Most Reverend Paul S. Loverde
