On Friday of this week, from 7-
8.30p, we encourage you to
come over to Croghan Hall for a
Meet and Greet with
Marianne Tully, our new In-
terim Principal. This is a great
opportunity, not only for our
school kids and parents, but parishioners too, to have some
quality time together before school starts. As you know, our
award winning school is the principal apostolate of our parish.
The school is the chief means by which our Catholic faith is
handed on. Even if you don’t have a child in the school, we all
have reason to be proud of the achievements of the past and to
be eager for the future.
While the school is the primary means of
handing on the Catholic faith in the parish, it
is by all means not the only. Maria
Barontini, our Pastoral Associate for
Children’s Catechesis, runs an incredible
program for school aged children who are
not in our school on Sunday mornings. You
may know of some families who are disconnected from their
faith, or do not have a church home. Why not get them in-
volved in our program?
Learning about our faith does not end at
graduation, and certainly not at Confirmation.
We are life long learners, disciples of Christ
who are always deepening our Catholic faith.
All year long, Angela Calabro, our Direc-
tor of Catechesis and Evangelization, is
offering numerous programs for adults to enrich their faith for-
mation. Keep tuned into the bulletin and social media to keep
abreast of the incredible offerings we have in our parish!
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
(a Holy Day of Obligation)
Mass Schedule: 7a, 12p-Latin and 7p
Blessing of Herbs will be before 12p & during 7p Mass
This blessing is from the 1964 edition of the Roman
Ritual. The Directory on Popular Piety men-
tions states:
This custom, received into the Rituale Romanum, repre-
sents a clear example of the genuine evangelization of
pre-Christian rites and beliefs: one must turn to God,
through whose word "the earth produced vegetation:
plants bearing seeds in their several kinds, and trees
bearing fruit with their seed inside in their several
kinds" (Gen 1, 12) in order to obtain what was formerly
obtained by magic rites; to stem the damages deriving
from poisonous herbs, and benefit from the efficacy of
curative herbs." (No. 181)
This blessing of herbs comes from Germany, and
formulas for it are found as early as the tenth cen-
tury! It was reserved only to the feast of the As-
sumption and includes herbs, cultivated and wild
flowers (especially those symbolic to our Lady).
The people brought herbs to Church on her feast
not only to secure for themselves another blessed
object, but also to make of the occasion a harvest
festival of thanksgiving to God for His great bounty
manifested in the abundant fruits of the earth. The
herbs were placed on the altar, and even beneath
the altar-cloths, so that from this close contact with
the Eucharist, they might receive a special consecra-
tion, over and above the ordinary sacramental
blessing of the Church.

Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary is a beauti-
ful exercise to increase your spirituality and ability to
truly serve our Lord Jesus Christ. The basic premise
set forth by St. Louis Marie de Montfort is simply that
Jesus came into the world through Mary and that for
us to always be assured of being close to Jesus, even
closer than ever before, we should go through
Mary. Consecration means to set aside for a sacred
purpose. Mary’s life was set aside for the sole purpose
of serving our Lord. By following her example, we,
too, can completely give ourselves to Christ in a fun-
damental way that consecrates us to Him. We give our
lives to Him in service and love.
Information Sessions on Total Consecration to Jesus
through Mary will be held after the 8a, 10a, and 12noon Mass on Sunday, 6 August, in Croghan Hall.
Come have a cup of coffee and learn how consecra-
tion can enrich your spiritual life. For questions, con-
tact Lisa Buss.
