VPI UNDERGROUND CHAPEL (MSGR SADIE)
VPI built a beautiful underground chapel in my time there. It was dedicated with an overflowing crowd. As far as I remember, that was the only Sunday it was filled for a long time.
Finally, I offered to celebrate the first Catholic Mass there. I pulled out all the stops, a Solemn Mass in which I sang the Mass with Saint Mary's choir leading the students in singing the Mass. I was led in procession with cadets in dress uniform with their swords in scabbards. At the consecration, the group of cadets raised their swords toward the sky. After Mass, I exited through a column of raised swords. I'm sure today, we'd avoid the show of arms, but I wanted to make a big statement.
There is now a large parish church in Blacksburg. If I am not mistaken, Mass is celebrated four times on the weekends where Catholics regularly fill the underground War Memorial.
MYSTERY SOLVED: The third party that helped convince Bob Baronner to head up the campaign to finance the three story addition to Charleston Catholic High School was faithful parishioner and attorney, John S. Moore.
Brother Knights and Parishioners of Sacred Heart,
For a number of years the Knights of Columbus of councils 12630 and 771 have supported our friends at the Gabriel Project in their annual fund raising pulled pork sandwich sale. Because of the Covid 19 situation, the Metro Valley Gabriel project will not be able to conduct this sale as they have done so many years in the past. Knights Council 12630 also was unable to have its major fund raiser this year.
However, it is obvious to all that just because raising money has become more difficult, the needs of low income families with babies served by the Gabriel Project have not stopped and in fact have increased. Our Knights Council will contribute to the Gabriel Project as we have in previous years, but more importantly, we want to encourage all Knights and Sacred Heart parishioners to contribute to this worthy project. The best and easiest donation is clearly monetary since this will enable the project to purchase needed supplies in the quantities they feel most useful.
Donna Hawkins, Executive Director of the Gabriel Project of West Virginia, wishes to point out some tax law changes that donors should be aware of: The recent federal CARES law includes new personal income tax incentives for nonprofit charitable giving for this year only. This law adds an above-the-line deduction that allows an individual who does not itemize to deduct up to $300 of cash contributions to a nonprofit charity, such as the Gabriel Project. For individuals who do itemize, the deduction for cash charitable contributions is increased to 100% of the individual's adjusted gross income. The previous limit was 60%. Those are major incentives for individual taxpayers to give money to charity in 2020.
We ask that you support the Metro Valley Gabriel Project by joining them in their Virtual Pig Roast. Check or money order donations can be mailed to the Gabriel Project at the following address: Metro Valley Gabriel Project, PO Box 11182, Charleston, WV 25339. Donations may also be made online through a secure website: gabrielwv.org. Click on the orange "Donate" button on the home page. Thanks to everyone for their consideration,
Richard Fauss Grand Knight, Knights of Columbus Council 12630 The Assumption-August 15th Now toward the end of the summer season, at a time when fruits are ripe in the gardens and fields, the Church celebrates the most glorious "harvest festival" in the Communion of Saints. Mary, the supremely blessed one among women, Mary, the most precious fruit which has ripened in the fields of God's kingdom, is today taken into the granary of heaven. — Pius Parsch, The Church's Year of Grace
The Assumption is the oldest feast day of Our Lady, but we don't know how it first came to be celebrated. Its origin is lost in those days when Jerusalem was restored as a sacred city, at the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine (c. 285-337). By then it had been a pagan city for two centuries, ever since Emperor Hadrian (76-138) had leveled it around the year 135 and rebuilt it as Aelia Capitolina in honor of Jupiter. For 200 years, every memory of Jesus was obliterated from the city, and the sites made holy by His life, death and Resurrection became pagan temples. After the building of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 336, the sacred sites began to be restored and memories of the life of Our Lord began to be celebrated by the people of Jerusalem. One of the memories about his mother centered around the "Tomb of Mary," close to Mount Zion, where the early Christian community had lived. On the hill itself was the "Place of Dormition," the spot of Mary's "falling asleep," where she had died. The "Tomb of Mary" was where she was buried. At this time, the "Memory of Mary" was being celebrated. Later it was to become our feast of the Assumption. For a time, the "Memory of Mary" was marked only in Palestine, but then it was extended by the emperor to all the churches of the East. In the seventh century, it began to be celebrated in Rome under the title of the "Falling Asleep" ("Dormitio") of the Mother of God. Soon the name was changed to the "Assumption of Mary," since there was more to the feast than her dying. It also proclaimed that she had been taken up, body and soul, into heaven. That belief was ancient, dating back to the apostles themselves. What was clear from the beginning was that there were no relics of Mary to be venerated, and that an empty tomb stood on the edge of Jerusalem near the site of her death. That location also soon became a place of pilgrimage. (Today, the Benedictine Abbey of the Dormition of Mary stands on the spot.) At the Council of Chalcedon in 451, when bishops from throughout the Mediterranean world gathered in Constantinople, Emperor Marcian asked the Patriarch of Jerusalem to bring the relics of Mary to Constantinople to be enshrined in the capitol. The patriarch explained to the emperor that there were no relics of Mary in Jerusalem, that "Mary had died in the presence of the apostles; but her tomb, when opened later . . . was found empty and so the apostles concluded that the body was taken up into heaven." In the eighth century, St. John Damascene was known for giving sermons at the holy places in Jerusalem. At the Tomb of Mary, he expressed the belief of the Church on the meaning of the feast: "Although the body was duly buried, it did not remain in the state of death, neither was it dissolved by decay. . . . You were transferred to your heavenly home, O Lady, Queen and Mother of God in truth." All the feast days of Mary mark the great mysteries of her life and her part in the work of redemption. The central mystery of her life and person is her divine motherhood, celebrated both at Christmas and a week later (Jan. 1) on the feast of the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. The Immaculate Conception (Dec. 8) marks the preparation for that motherhood, so that she had the fullness of grace from the first moment of her existence, completely untouched by sin. Her whole being throbbed with divine life from the very beginning, readying her for the exalted role of mother of the Savior. The Assumption completes God's work in her since it was not fitting that the flesh that had given life to God himself should ever undergo corruption. The Assumption is God's crowning of His work as Mary ends her earthly life and enters eternity. The feast turns our eyes in that direction, where we will follow when our earthly life is over. The feast days of the Church are not just the commemoration of historical events; they do not look only to the past. They look to the present and to the future and give us an insight into our own relationship with God. The Assumption looks to eternity and gives us hope that we, too, will follow Our Lady when our life is ended. In 1950, in the Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus, Pope Pius XII proclaimed the Assumption of Mary a dogma of the Catholic Church in these words: "The Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heaven." With that, an ancient belief became Catholic doctrine and the Assumption was declared a truth revealed by God. -Excerpted from Fr. Clifford Stevens in Catholic Heritage Blessings and congratulations to those who received the Sacrament of Confirmation on Sunday, August 9th.
