Thought for
the Week
ARE YOU CELEBRATING
A SPECIAL WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY?
Each year the Archdiocese of
Washington honors couples married
25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 51+ years at the annual
Jubilarian Mass, held this year on Sunday, Nov
22, at 2pm at the National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception.
For more information or to register for the Mass,
please call the parish office, 301-475-9885, or stop
by the office to pick up a form.
The deadline to register is September 30.
Do you know someone who might be
interested in becoming Catholic?
Or would you or someone you know
like a refresher in the basics of the
Catholic faith?
If your answer is yes to any of these, consider
joining the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults) here at the parish this coming fall.
The RCIA is a series of classes for adults who
were never baptized, or who were baptized in
another Christian tradition, and interested in
learning more about the Catholic faith.
A new RCIA class is now forming, to begin this
coming September. A person does not have to be
certain they want convert to Catholicism when
the classes begin. All they need is an open mind
and heart.
If you or someone you know might be interested,
encourage them to call or email Father Rob,
301-475-9885, [email protected].
That Man Is You! (TMIY) resumes Sat, Sep 12
This year TMIY will be offered both in person
(at the Parish Hall) and virtually on Zoom, from
6-7:30am. The videos will have a fresh, new
multi-speaker format, featuring eight new
speakers and new topics.
Why TMIY? Because God is calling men to be
better in all relationships, whether as husbands,
fathers, or members of the Church and
community.
This year’s program — The Vision of Man Fully
Alive — will enable men to experience authentic
freedom as sons of God. Through living the
three-fold mission of abiding presence, joyful
service, and loving sacrifice, their hearts and
homes will experience the joy that God desires.
To sustain them on their spiritual journey, the
men will be led directly to the three spiritual
foods that Christ Himself proclaims: the
Eucharist, the Word of God, and the Will of God.
That Man Is You! is a 26-week, structured
program that meets on Saturday mornings for 90
minutes and consists of fellowship over a light
breakfast, a video, and a small group discussion.
To register or for more information, contact
Matt Cosgrove, [email protected]
or Mark Coontz, [email protected].
For today
the Virgin
Mother of God
was assumed
into heaven as
the beginning
and image of
your Church’s
coming to
perfection and
a sign of
sure hope and
comfort to your
pilgrim people.

SCAM EMAILS
There is another round of
fraudulent emails being received by
parishioners from a spam account
using Fr. Rob’s name.
Unfortunately, this type of scam is happening in
many parishes around the Archdiocese.
FR. ROB WOULD NEVER ASK YOU FOR A
FAVOR OR HELP VIA EMAIL.
Please be diligent in not responding to suspicious
emails. If you are ever in doubt, please feel free
to call the Parish Office: 301-475-9885.

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
For the greater glory of God...
Dear Parish Family,
This year, since the Solemnity of the
Assumption falls on a Saturday it is not a holy
day of obligation in the United States.
For anyone who would like to come to Mass,
I will offer a special 9am Mass on Saturday,
August 15 here at the church.
The Assumption means that Our Lady did not
have to wait until the end of the world (like we
will) for her body to be gloriously reunited to her
soul after death. This is one of the special
privileges she received as the Mother of God.
Mary’s Assumption into heaven speaks to us of
the great hope that, at the end of time, the bodies
of the just will be gloriously reunited to their
souls in the Kingdom of her Son. We profess this
belief every time we recite the Nicene Creed at
Mass: “I look forward to the resurrection of the
dead and the life of the world to come.”
We meditate on the mystery of the Assumption
when we pray the fourth Glorious Mystery of the
rosary. But it’s also necessary to keep in mind
what the Assumption is not. Some have thought
that Mary “ascended” into heaven by her own
power. This is not true. Only Christ, by His own
power, ascended into Heaven. Mary was
assumed or taken up into heaven by God.
Imploring the aid of Our Lady in his Angelus
Address on August 15, 2003, Pope St. John Paul
II said, “One day may we also partake in your
same glory in Paradise, where today you were
raised above the choirs of angels to lasting glory
with Christ. Praised be Jesus Christ!”
Faithfully, in Christ,
Fr. Rob
