Cranston, RI Mass Intentions Dear Parishioners,

Our First Communion Masses the last two Saturdays were beautiful! The children were superb and received Jesus for the first time with excitement and joy in their eyes. Additionally, all our First Communicants were invested in Our Blessed Mother’s Scapular. May she watch over their journey of faith and keep them all close to her heart and the heart of Jesus!

SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 2020 Our Confirmation Mass with Msgr. Kenney was Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time equally wonderful! It’s so great to see the teens I 4:00 PM (Sat.) X Peter Mitchell (Birth. Rem.) by Wife taught all year receive this powerful sacrament. May X Andrew J. Martin (2nd Anniv.) the Holy Spirit keep them strong in their faith and X Mario Casinelli, Jr. (Month’s Mind) draw them back every week to receive Jesus in the X Claire Greenwood (Month’s Mind) Eucharist! 8:00 AM X E. Colgan (17th Anniv.) by Wife and Sons I would like to offer my deepest thanks to our Director st 10:30 AM X Fr. Daniel Trainor (1 Anniv.) of Religious Education, Ms. Deanna Marinucci, our X Congressman John Lewis school’s second grade teacher, Mrs. Jessica Schattle, by Carolina Read our Youth Ministry Team, Mr. Annese and Miss 5:00 PM X Vincentia Henrich (58th Anniv.) Gianna Procaccini, the adult volunteers of our First MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 2020 Communion and Confirmation Programs, and Lawrence, Deacon and Martyr everyone who helped to make these liturgies possible. 12:00 PM X Joseph Pompei (2nd Anniv.) This has been a very challenging year—but we made it! by Peter Buonfiglio Our children and young adults have been blessed by their sacrifice and dedication which made these TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2020 ceremonies possible despite Covid-19. Saint Clare, st 8:00 AM X Judith Betters (1 Anniv.) Next Saturday we honor Our Blessed Mother’s WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2020 Assumption—the truth that at the end of her earthly Saint Jane Frances de Chantal, Religious life, she was immediately taken, body and soul, into 12:00 PM X Jerry Gannon (Rem.) the kingdom of heaven to be our Queen. This truth by Wife (which is not recorded anywhere in Sacred Scripture) was believed from the first days of the THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 2020 Church, but it was not solemnly defined as a dogma Weekday (formal teaching) of the Church until 1950 by 8:00 AM X Mr. & Mrs. Louis Pezzullo, Sr. (Rem.) Pius XII. Because this feast falls on a Saturday, it is by Niece Madelein NOT a Holy Day of Obligation this year. However, please take some time to give thanks to Our Blessed FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 2020 Mother for all her love and care of each of us. Saint Maximillian Kolbe, Priest and Martyr 12:00 PM X Carlo Maggiacomo, Jr. (Birth. Rem.) by Parents Finally, as you all know the new school year will soon be upon us. It will be a challenging one for sure due SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 2020 to the ongoing pandemic. Many parents are waiting The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary to hear the governor’s decision about reopening 4:00 PM X Daniel Santana (2nd Anniv.) by Wife schools. Here at Immaculate, we are planning for a X Gregory Cardi (Month’s Mind) full return of our students (5 days, in-class Parishioners of IC instruction). We are taking every precaution recommended by the CDC and the RI Department of SUNDAY, AUGUST 16, 2020 Health. I’m confident we are ready to welcome back Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time our students while keeping them and our faculty 8:00 AM X Ronald DiRobbio (Anniv.) by the Napolillo Family safe.
