August is devoted to Immaculate Mary. She has 2 special feast days: The Assumption on 8/15, a Holy Day of Obligation, (See the bulletin for Mass times.) and her Queenship on 8/22. This short video will help you to understand both of these feasts. And let us never forget to read and share the newsletters we get monthly and weekly from diocesan partners.

It is also “Make a Will” month. Catholic Legacy through Relevant Radio, is making this free and easy for us. Learn more at RelevantRadio.com/Will or text WILL at 914914 anytime to get started.

Our Catholic Bishops (USCCB) invite us to enter into prayer now through October 1, the beginning of Respect Life month, petitioning St. Joseph to assist with ending taxpayer funding of abortion. Here is the prayer: “Dearest St. Joseph, at the word of an angel, you lovingly took Mary into your home. As God’s humble servant, you guided the Holy Family on the road to Bethlehem, welcomed Jesus as your own son in the shelter of a manger, and fled far from your homeland for the safety of both Mother and Child. We praise God that as their faithful protector, you never hesitated to sacrifice for those entrusted to you. May your example inspire us also to welcome, cherish, and safeguard God’s most precious gift of life. Help us to faithfully commit ourselves to the service and defense of human life —especially where it is vulnerable or threatened. Obtain for us the grace to do the will of God in all things. Amen.”
