Scripture Readings September 27, 2015
Nm 11:25-29 Ps 19:8, 10, 12-14 Jas 5:1-6
Mk 9:38-43, 45, 47-48
Moses and Jesus both attest to the fact that the work of
the Spirit cannot be confined by an institution on, and
that no one can claim a monopoly of the Spirit’s
charism (1, 3) , or wisdom (Ps). Beware of growing
rich while neglecting the rights and needs of others (2).
For Reflection: Describe a time you consciously did
something in Jesus’s name?
We extend a warm welcome to Father Walter J.
McGovern. Father is retired and is new in
residence here at Sacred Heart. He will be a
regular celebrant of weekly and weekend Masses;
and will assist in pastoral care.
May we make Father McGovern feel welcome and
at home with us!

Misión de la Parroquia del Sagrado Corazón

Hijo y siendo testigo de nuestros dones a través del servicio activo a otros en el Espíritu.

Dios te está brindando. En los futuros domingos

etapa de evangelización. No te lo pierdas.
El Manto de Turín
Esta fiesta mariana tiene su origen en la dedicación de
una iglesia en Jerusalén, pues la piedad cristiana
siempre ha venerado a las personas y acontecimientos
que han preparado el nacimiento de Jesús. María ocupa
un lugar privilegiado, y su nacimiento es motivo de
gozo profundo. En esta basílica, que había de
convertirse en la iglesia de Santa Ana (siglo XII), san
Juan Damasceno saludó a la Virgen niña: "Dios te
salve, Probática, santuario divino de la Madre de Dios
… ¡Dios te salve, María, dulcísima hija de Ana!".
Aunque el Nuevo Testamento no reporta datos directos
sobre la vida de la Virgen María, una tradición oriental
veneró su nacimiento desde mediados del siglo V,
ubicándolo en el sitio de la actual Basílica de "Santa
Ana", en Jerusalén. La fiesta pasó a Roma en el siglo
VII y fue apoyada por el Papa Sergio I. Su fecha de
celebración no tiene un origen claro, pero motivó que la
fiesta de "La Inmaculada Concepción" se celebrara el 8
de diciembre (9 meses antes). El Papa Pío X quitó esta
celebración del grupo de las fiestas de precepto

Christian Formation and Evangelization
DO YOU KNOW why we receive the Holy Eucharist
under two forms? The Catechism of the Catholic
Church gives the assurance (#1390) that Christ is
present in a sacramental way under each form—the
bread and the wine – and that receiving only the bread
(the host) brings all the grace of the Eucharist.
At the same time, “the sign of communion is more
complete when given under both kinds, since in that
form the sign of the Eucharistic meal appears more
clearly.”
Parish Picnic: TODAY
Our annual Parish Picnic will be held today on the
school side field. We will begin our picnic after the

afternoon, to learn more about The Heart! Our teachers
and staff will be on hand to meet you and your child,

Fellow Parishioners,
In Romans 15:13, St. Paul writes, “May the God of
hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so
that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy
Spirit.” To me, abounding in hope is a powerful
message, one that, St. Paul attests, can only occur
because of the His Holy Spirit. I believe that hope and
love are the most abundant resources of Sacred Heart,
and I find them here every day. Here are three
examples from the week of Sept 7th: I saw a new
student in the hallway one afternoon and asked her
how things were going. She responded, very excitedly,
“I love this school! I have so much fun here and I’m so
happy to be here!” Not every student may say express
this sentiment quite so directly, but I see that joy and
happiness in our students every morning, and it was
wonderful to hear her say that.
A new staff member wanted to help with one of our
orientation events. She created a very inviting welcome
by ordering balloons, greeting parents with new Sacred
Heart information cards featuring student artwork, and
sending thank-you cards for attending the event. Her
level of passion to increase our support to our families
is a tremendous gift, and gives me great hope about the
love in our community.
Mr. Coyle, Principal
Children’s Liturgy of the Word on Hiatus
The weekly “Children’s Liturgy of the Word” (CLOW)
is in need of a new leader and several new volunteers.
For now, there will be NO CLOW. For many years at
the Sunday 9:00 AM Mass, our children have
participated in a liturgy geared toward their age and
understanding. This meaningful Mass experience can
make such a difference helping to build a stronger faith
foundation. Our teachers and timers usually helped out
every four – six weeks, and lessons and materials are
supplied. If you can offer a few Sundays a year to this
ministry or could possibly serve as the new CLOW
leader, please contact Sister Cecilia at 410-833-8515 or
sr.cecilia@shgparish.org. Thank you!

Pope Francis announced on September 1st a World
Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation
A Prayer for our Earth
All-powerful God, you are present in the whole
universe and in the smallest of your creatures. You
embrace with your tenderness all that exists.
Pour out upon us the power of your love, that we may
protect life and beauty. Fill us with peace, that we may
live as brothers and sisters, harming no one.
O God of the poor, help us to rescue the abandoned
and forgotten of this earth, so precious in your eyes.
Bring healing to our lives, that we may protect the
world and not prey on it, that we may sow beauty, not
pollution and destruction.
Touch the hearts of those who look only for gain at the
expense of the poor and the earth. Teach us to discover
the worth of each thing, to be filled with awe and
contemplation, to recognize that we are profoundly
united with every creature as we journey towards your
infinite light.
We thank you for being with us each day. Encourage
us, we pray, in our struggle for justice, love and peace.
-- from Pope Francis' encyclical, Laudato Si’
