Christian Stewardship
The use of our talents and gifts to build up the community of faith and to reach out to those in need is
a fundamental teaching of Catholic Theology. It is also a wonderful way to feel good about yourself
and give thanks for the blessings you have received. As we enter the fall season please think about
the ways in which you can use your talents.

GREETERS: to meet with expression of gladness
and welcome!!!
Are you looking for a way to get involved in our parish
but just do not have the extra time? Well we have the
ministry for you!!!
Ministers of Hospitality greet parishioners as they
come into church. Become a Greeter at the Mass you
would normally attend on a Saturday evening, Sunday
or any Mass for that matter. This ministry is open to
anyone from high school teens to seniors. No
previous experience needed just a sunny disposition
to make everyone feel welcomed at our celebration.
Why not share your time and talents by helping to
make OLMC a more warm and welcoming parish!!!
We will have a short training session in October, then
the time commitment is very little. Mother Teresa said,
“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small
things with great love.”

HAITI
I am very grateful for the comradery we share as a parish with our
work in Haiti. While the clinic is now up and running successfully
on a daily or weekly basis in Port au Prince, we as a medical team
continue to arrive twice annually. Sustainability is a necessary
goal to transition a people from poverty, to self-reliance but in the
process a great deal of support is still needed. The fees charged
for services in the clinic during our absence provide the funds
needed for daily expenses related to supplies, water and
electricity. The salaries for a Cuban doctor and the nurses are
paid by another Catholic parish. When we arrive we serve the
larger volume of those unable to afford even the nominal fee. Deb
Gunning in her extraordinary efforts has organized our medical
team and the supplies, services and personnel needed to have a
smooth and efficient daily clinic. This work involves months and
months of preparation for which we are all extremely grateful.
Tom Kardish continues his leadership managing travel needs,
expenses, fund raising and scheduling of all of our team including
the Haitian staff of nurses, translators and transportation
personnel. Deb Gunning was in Haiti 3 months ago serving a
community of 850 children at a school in the central plateau of
Haiti with the team from Our Lady of Guadalupe. OLG has taken
on the responsibility of supporting that school and the work done
by Deb and the team from OLG was an overwhelming success.
For the last year I have enjoyed reaching deeper into the
community doing house calls for those unable to get out of their
homes/beds. Accompanied by a guide and a translator I see
patients who have been bed bound with wounds, disabilities,
significant pain, blindness, etc. Needless to say this is uniquely
rewarding for me and fills a gap in their community health. I have
had the privilege of being accompanied by Father Terry on
occasion and so we can serve both their medical and spiritual
needs. We are also working the initial steps toward beginning a
technical school in the area. There is some evidence that building,
construction and investment into the city is increasing. With the
potential for jobs locally we hope to offer Haitian workers rather
than having building firms bring in people from outside of Haiti for
“skilled labor”. I remain hopeful that we can together see a
tangible change in the community there in Port au Prince. This is
a very exciting development and I hope to be able to give more
detail in the future. This effort can make a big difference in the
Haitian community and I pray for its success. The final efforts to
complete the Catholic church in the community we serve are
coming closer. We may have a church “Dedication” in the early
part of 2015. This has been a slow process as the community
there feels an increasing ownership and responsibility for the
construction, some small component of the funding and the
prayerful dedication needed to grow this Christian community and
its place of worship and celebration. Health, education,
employment and a spiritual foundation can be a successful
combination for growth and fulfillment. Thanks again for all you
have done to further our efforts.

“EYES WIDE OPEN: BELIEVING IS SEEING”
A Retreat Day Sponsored
by
The Ladies of Mount Carmel
Tuesday, September 30, 2014
Presenter: Sister Clare A. D’Auria OSF
In his first encyclical entitled “The Light of Faith,” Pope Francis described the gift of faith—
the act of believing—in this way: “Faith does not merely gaze at Jesus, but sees things as Jesus himself
sees them, with his own eyes: it is a participation in his way of seeing”(18).
You are invited to come and explore how seeing your experiences with the eyes of faith can
change the way you look at life. This retreat day will invite you to shift your perspective and consider,
not that “seeing is believing,” but that “believing is seeing” in a different way. It is this Gospel way of
seeing that can challenge us to see ourselves differently and to bring whoever is peripheral into the
center of our vision, into the heart of our concerns. During our time together, we will be encouraged to
pray for the grace to open the eyes of our hearts wide enough to embrace the God who is revealed in
Jesus Christ.
The day will begin with Mass at 8 A.M. in the church followed by breakfast in St. Mary’s
Hall and will conclude at 2 P.M. Box Lunch Included. All are welcome to attend.
Cost: $25.00
Registration Deadline: September 24th
Please Circle Your Box Lunch Choice: Turkey Lurkey, Big Beef, Very Veggie Wrap
Box Lunch Includes: Fresh Fruit Salad, Chocolate Chunk Cookie, Homemade Potato Chips.

40 Days for Life Warminster
Abortion is the leading cause of death in the world. It
kills as many people as all of the other causes of death
combined. Half the deaths in the world are from
abortion. 1 out of 4 deaths in America is an abortion.
(Based on data from the World Health Organization and the
Guttmacher Institute).
Want to end abortion? If you do, the first thing you must do
is pray. Prayer is at the center of 40 Days for Life. During
each campaign, we call on people of faith across the
nation...and around the world...to fall on their knees before
the Lord, asking Him to hear our plea and heal our land.
Pray outside an abortion facility. Pray at church. Pray at
work. Pray in the car. Pray at home with your family.
The visible, public centerpiece of 40 Days for Life is a
focused, 40-day prayer vigil outside a single abortion
center. Our local campaign will take place at Planned
Parenthood, 610 Louis Dr., Warminster, PA as it has for the
past 7 years. Each Friday of the year, upwards of 20
babies are lost to abortion at this facility. OLMC
parishioners will hold the 12 hour vigil on Thursday,
Sept. 25, 2014 from 7AM until 7PM. Please make the
effort to squeeze one hour into your schedule to pray the
Rosary for a change of heart of the women scheduled to
abort their children, for the conversion of workers, and for
healing of all men and women who have suffered from
abortion. Please call 215-348-7480 to schedule your
hour.
We are also being asked to fast during these 40 days
which begin Wednesday, September 23 and end
Sunday, November 2. This is a powerful means of
drawing closer to God by blocking out distractions. Fast
from certain foods. Fast from television. Fast from apathy
and indifference. Fast from whatever it is that separates
you from God. We believe that when God’s people fast with
a broken, repentant and contrite spirit, our heavenly Father
will hear from heaven and heal our lives, our churches, our
communities, our nation and our world.
New Seminarian at
Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish
Brandon Artman was born on April 4, 1980. Raised in
West Chester, his home parish growing up was Saint
Agnes. He attended Saint Agnes Parochial School and
West Chester East H.S., where he became involved as
choir member and accompanist. While in high school,
Brandon was very active at St. Agnes, working in the office
as evening receptionist, as church sacristan, and in the
music ministry as organist, choir member and cantor.
Entering West Chester University as a Music Education
major (concentration: voice), Brandon soon discovered that
this was not the path for him. He began working full time as
Director of Music/Organist and Director of Parish Services
at Saint Matthias Church in Bala Cynwyd for 13 years. It
was during his time at Saint Matthias that Brandon felt a
deeper calling to serve God and His people. His realization
of his vocation blossomed and was strengthened
immensely through his ministry at Saint Matthias. He
graduated from West Chester University with a Bachelor of
Arts Degree in Liberal Studies and a Music Minor, and
entered Saint Charles Seminary in 2012. He has completed
two years of Pre-Theology studies at the Seminary for the
Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and is beginning his first year
of Theological studies. Brandon is excited to begin his
apostolate at Our Lady of Guadalupe! He will be teaching
religion here at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School on
Thursday’s.
Two more reasons to pray a public rosary:
1. Public sins require public reparation: Many parts of
our culture openly flaunt sin when sharing information
and programs through any form of communications
media. Sadly, some of our laws favor abortion or samesex unions. Since many of these sins are public, our
public Rosary Rally consoles the Lord as a public act of
reparation offered for our own sins, the public or private
sins of others, and those public sins hurled against the
Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of
Jesus. At Fatima, Our Lady said to the children: “You
have seen hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To
save them, God wishes to establish devotion to my
Immaculate Heart in the world.”
2. Today’s mainstream media will NEVER promote
Fatima, so WE must promote public devotion to Mary,
and praying a public Rosary is a powerful way to do so.
Catholics must not be ashamed of our Faith, which
includes devotion to Mary as we worship the Lord.
Jesus reminds us in Matthew’s Gospel (10:32) that:
“Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I will

WHY IS IT
A man wakes up after sleeping
under an ADVERTISED blanket
on an ADVERTISED mattress
and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas
bathes in an ADVERTISED shower
shaves with an ADVERTISED razor
brushes his teeth
with ADVERTISED toothpaste
washes with ADVERTISED soap
puts on ADVERTISED clothes
drinks a cup
of ADVERTISED coffee
drives to work
in an ADVERTISED car
and then . . . .
refuses to ADVERTISE
believing it doesn’t pay.
Later if business is poor
he ADVERTISES it for sale.
WHY IS IT?
