Dear Friends in Christ,
The Feast of St. Francis of Assisi is not observed in the sacred liturgy this year because 4 October, his date
in the Roman Calendar, falls on a Sunday. But since today is his feast, let me commend to you two books
about the Poverello of Assisi, both of which go a long way towards dispelling the silly image of this great
champion of Christ as a proto-hippie skipping through the forest signing to birds. The first biography I
recommend is Saint Francis of Assisi by G.K. Chesterton, published in 1923. This slim volume captures
the personality of the man and places him firmly in the history of his time and place in the Church, and
as with everything written by Chesterton, it is a rollicking good read. The second text I recommend is
Francis of Assisi: A New Biography recently written by Augustine Thompson, OP – a Dominican friar and
professor of medieval history and philosophy at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in
Berkeley, California. Father Thompson’s biography is a more scholarly work than Chesterton’s but is
very accessible to all readers. Both of these books will change the way you understand one of the great
Christian witnesses of all time.
This Wednesday is the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, originally called the Feast of Our Lady of Victory
– a devotion introduced after the victory of the Christian fleet over the invading Muslim fleet at the
Battle of Lepanto on 7 October 1571. The Ottoman fleet of over 250 ships carried more than 80,000
soldiers and sailors, and the Christian fleet – patched together from many European sovereignties with
the blessing of Pope St. Pius V – engaged the enemy near the Greek port of Lepanto (from the Latin
form of its name), also known as Nafpaktos. The Turkish fleet was destroyed in one of the greatest naval
victories of all time, and the victory was attributed by many to the thousands of people praying the Rosary
in preparation for the engagement at the request of the pope, hence the twin names of the feast: Our Lady
of Victory and Our Lady of the Rosary. Look up the Battle of Lepanto on the internet, and learn about
one very dramatic moment in a very old conflict between Islam and the West.
Please join us this Saturday 10 October at 11 am for the diaconal ordination of Clark Brittain, who will
serve the St. Anselm’s Community of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter and will assist also
at St. Mary’s as his duties allow. The day before the ordination, Friday 9 October, is kept in England and
by the Ordinariate as the Feast of Blessed John Henry Newman, the Oxford don and Anglican priest who
became a Catholic in the middle of his life and was one of the most original Christian minds of the past
two hundred years. At the age of 78 Newman was made a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church by Pope
Leo XIII as a sign of the Church’s blessing on the labors of his extraordinarily productive life.

What is 40 Days for Life?
40 Days for Life, an ecumenical prayer campaign to end abortion, began in College Station,
Texas. It has expanded not only nationally, but internationally since its inception in 2007.
There are two campaigns a year, one beginning on Ash Wednesday for 40 days of Lent. The
Fall campaign begins on the fourth Wednesday of September. These prayer campaigns are
initiated and organized at the grassroots level in communities throughout the nation and
abroad. Prayer, fasting and public vigil at the abortion facility are key components. The
National Organization requires anyone participating in a campaign sign a promise to
conduct themselves in a peaceful, respectful manner. Many believe the Holy Spirit is using
this movement to end abortion and at the same time bring people of many faiths together.

emerging technologies, their moral implications,
and the way they affect our youth. The impact of
high parental expectations, the age of immediacy,
unchecked screen time, and screen addictions
on mental health is explored. The importance of
parental awareness and involvement is stressed
along with the need for children to have religious
and spiritual anchors. Suggestions for computer
protectors will provide parents with guidance.

Pilgrimage of Mercy
Tour of the Major Relics of St. Maria Goretti
From September to November of this year the major relics of
St. Maria Goretti will make a pilgrimage to the United States.
Named the “Pilgrimage of Mercy,” it is the first time that her
body travels to the USA.
While St. Maria is universally known as the Patroness of
Purity, her greatest virtue was her unyielding forgiveness
of her attacker even in the midst of horrendous physical
suffering, a forgiveness that would completely convert him
and set him on a path to personal holiness. In March 2015,
His Holiness, Pope Francis, announced an Extraordinary
Holy Year of Mercy beginning
8 December 2015. This visit
of the major relics of St. Maria
Goretti is an effort on the part
of the Holy See and Treasures
of the Church to prepare and
catechize the United States for
this great celebration in the life
of the Church.

School Spotlight
Buddy Program
Students in K4 - 2nd grades are paired with students in 5th - 8th grades as
part of St. Mary’s School Buddy Program. Buddies meet throughout the year
for fun and educational activities. Last year’s educational activities included
Grade 5 Buddies teaching K4 about Pedestrian Safety and Middle School
students guiding their little Buddies through the
Safety House.
The Buddy Program helps teach our older
students the responsibility and value of being
a good role model. The little Buddies love the
chance to interact with older students!
Golden Cross Award
Family Prayer Corner
Golden Cross Award for the virtue
of FAITH is awarded to Adam,
Grade 8, for serving Mass devoutly
and showing Christian leadership
daily. Veronica, Grade 5, for
living her faith everyday through
her words, actions, and positive
attitude. Nicholas, Grade 2, for
being attentive at Mass and the
Angelus, praying for others, and
using holy water respectfully.
Prayer Tips from the
Potluck, Pray, & Play:
Before you start praying regularly, it
can seem hard to find the time . . .
even harder to find time to make it
happen with other people!
Sit down with your spouse this
Sunday and make a plan to pray as
a family during the week. The little
moments – gathering in the garage
before leaving the house; saying
grace before a meal; giving your
child a short blessing with a cross
and holy water at the beginning
of the day – can make a huge
difference.
We know well that family time is a
complicated and crowded time, busy
and preoccupied. There is always
little, there is never enough, there are
so many things to do . . . The spirit of
prayer gives time back to God, it steps
away from the obsession of a life that is
always lacking time, it rediscovers the
peace of necessary things, and discovers
the joy of unexpected gifts.
- Pope Francis, 26 August 2015.
All young adults (18-39)
are welcomed & encouraged to join
our ministry whose mission is to help
young adults answer the universal call to holiness.
