Pastor’s Corner My Dear Friends, This weekend, Catholic Christians celebrate the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time. In the Gospel selection for today, we hear 3 “lost and found” type of parables (Luke 15: 1-32). Jesus told us these to remind us of the joy of finding what was lost in our lives.
Fr. Gustavo has returned to Honduras, and he had a wonderful time visiting us. He will take back many memories, which he will cherish for years to come. I’m sure he’ll share many stories with his parishioners, so they will get to know more about us, just as I share stories with you so that you can get to know more about them. I hope he will be able to visit us at least once a year. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality you showed him! Happy Grandparents Day to all the grandmas and grandpas of our parish on this, your special day! Finally, don’t forget that our St. Mary Fall Festival is right around the corner. Please make plans to join us on Saturday, September 24th for a fun-filled day! Sincerely yours in Christ, - Father Bob

Carolina Catholic learns about the newest biblical epic, Ben Hur (2016) For our first show in September, we speak again with Dr. Grazie Chris-tie, a medical doctor, mother of five, and a policy advisor for The Cath-olic Association. She writes and speaks in both Spanish and English about Catholicism, religious freedom, and the intersection of faith and science. In a recent article that she wrote entitled, "Ben Hur will make you want to be a better person," Dr. Christie describes the plot of the newest movie version of the 1880 book by General Lew Wallace, the deep and lasting impact that this retelling of the story of Judah Ben Hur had on her, and how we can all grow deeper in our faith as Christians when we learn to forgive the unforgivable. This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio on stations 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM on Sunday, September 11th, at 6 p.m and can also be heard on our website at wilmingtoncatholicradio.com.

Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Basilica Shrine of Saint Mary – September 10 and September 11, 2016 6
Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time St. Mary Social Ministry/Tileston Outreach The Liturgy of the Word today reminds us that yes, we are sinners, but redeemed sinners saved through the mercy of our compassionate God. Here at the Outreach we enter into first full week of service of our 30th year inspired by the story of the Prodigal Son, or as some scholars put it, the “Prodigal Father.” Placed in the very center of the basement of Tileston is our Clothing and Household Departments. Each day there is a lot of activity among the dozen or more volunteers who spend time sorting, sizing and hanging clothing and arranging folded items and shoes on shelves. Each piece of clothing received is carefully examined so that it has neither stain nor tear. Our rule of thumb for receiving any donation is …”Would you give this to your brother or sister?” Just because people are in need is all the more reason why we strive to treat them with deep respect and reverence. We don’t give junk to our brother or sister so we spend a lot of time making sure that what we share with others always enhances their dignity. The Household Department has a great team of workers who spend their time sorting out dishes, glasses, flatware, pots and pans (so precious to receive – we are able only to give one to our guest when they request them), sheets, linens etc. When people come who have nothing they so appreciate receiving some of these items to help get their house being a home. Believe me, there is a lot of activity going on and each volunteer looks out for the other, assisting those who work directly with the guests by showing them where items are and helping them select just the right item so that the person being served will feel very special. And all this is recorded by our Administration Support Team who are super statisticians – Debbie Cochrane, Marge Kemp, Barbara Rusala and Ruth Ninos who addresses our “thank-you notes”. Bottom line – it is a team effort and when I pass through I am reminded of the saying, “It takes a Village to raise a child”, and it takes about 40 volunteers each day to serve our guests with care and respect and love.
Sister Isaac—Office of Social Ministry
Special Need for the Week: Once again we are asking for pots, pans, dishes and flatware. Thank you for sharing these items with us for our guests.

"Saint Teresa constantly reminded us that on the day we meet the Lord we will not be judged on what we accumulated, but on what we gave away, especially in response to those in most need. For that rea-son, Saint Teresa of Calcutta directed that in all the convents of the Missionaries of Charity these two words appear next to the crucifix hanging on the wall: “I Thirst.” She said these words remind us, as Jesus stated in today’s Gospel, to unite ourselves to his cross and to know that He thirsts to share his love and life with us; that He thirsts for us to share these very same gifts with the poorest of the poor."

8 Basilica Shrine of Saint Mary – September 10 and September 11, 2016 Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Principal Joyce M. Price
"Let your light so shine..." Matthew 5:16 We ended our first week together with our first school Mass planned by Mr. McFarlane and our 8th grade class. St. Mary students from K-8 were present. New students were welcomed along and our volley-ball and cross country teams were recognized and wished a successful season while representing our school. All of our “Specials” classes have met and hot lunch program and After School have begun. I mentioned to the students that on Sunday, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was canonized a saint by Pope Francis. During her earthly life she humbly provided a role model for the world to follow by serv-ing the poor. I am sure that there will be lots of information regarding this event on our Diocese of Raleigh website as well as on national news stations. Parents, please make certain to have all of your papers turned in
to the office. Drop and Go Lane (mornings) The curb closer to the lower
school is for “stop and drop” only. If you need to park your car and walk to the building, please park on the opposite side of the street.
Rainy Days – Please send your child with rain gear as all grade levels of students may need to go between the 3 buildings during the day.
School Closings/Delays – We follow New Hanover County School decisions.
September Calendar 19th – Teacher Work Day – No School (The teachers and I will be in Raleigh for the Diocesan Conference.) 24th – Basilica Shrine of St. Mary Parish Fall Festival Week of 26th – We begin Iowa Testing in Gr. 2-8.
Thank you for choosing St. Mary School for your children. We’re so happy that they are here.
St. Mary School Athletics Booster Board: The Booster Board is in need of a Recording Secre-tary and a Corresponding Secretary. If you can help in either of these positions, please contact Mr. Viollis at [email protected]. We have a board meeting once a month as well as a general meeting. The duty of the Recording Secretary is to record the minutes and send copies to the members. The Corresponding Secretary is in charge of sending out correspondence on behalf of our teams. I am very happy to announce our new Booster Board president, Mrs. Marcia Frelke. Mrs. Frelke has volunteered to take over the position and grow our member-ship, strive to do what we can to help our teams, and to keep St. Mary athletics on the path to success. If you know Marcia like I do, you know she will work hard to raise funds for our student athletes. Volunteers: Please look at our Signup Genius link below and volunteer to work a home volleyball game. Remember -- Parents of our cross-country run-ners and volleyball players are required to work at least one home game. Please check out where you can help. www.signupgenius.com/go/60b054baaac2ea46-falcons Volleyball and Cross-Country: Schedules are posted on the school athlet-ic calendar as well as on the athletic website.
