It was built in women’s ministry was launched that 1958 as a place of worship for migrant workers who came during the incorporates physical exercise with prayer. summer months to help on nearby farms. Every August 15, our family All of the unrest present in the world can take would go there for a special evening Mass and then out for ice cream. a toll on us and this past year has been no When I was little, I thought we went there on that date, because it was my exception. It is important to take time to sister’s birthday. When I got older, I discovered there was an even more cultivate peace in our mind, body and soul special reason to celebrate that date (sorry Cheryl). and strengthen our relationship with God, our As Catholics we believe that when we die, and are in a state of grace, Source of peace.

She encouraged Him to perform his first miracle at the Wedding in Cana. She was with him through his preachings and teachings. She watched in agony as he was scourged and crowned with thorns. She walked with Him every step on His way to Calvary. Mary was united with her Son through conception to death and is with us now trying to unite us to her Son. Because of our temporal sins, after death our physical bodies must be broken down and corrupted in order to be built back up before they are reunited with our souls. But because of the state of grace that Mary was in throughout her entire life, she was spared of this process. On August 15, we celebrate her full assumption of body and soul as she is reunited with her Son. We celebrate the life she led and the example she set forth for us. And we continue to pray for her intercession to help us become united with her Son during our life and reunited with her Son when we leave this life. Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us.

PAGE 5 AREA & ARCHDIOCESAN EVENTS Creation Care Corner - The Season of Creation is a month-long prayerful observance that calls upon Catholics to pray and care for God’s Creation. It starts September 1 and ends October 4. It’s a time to reflect on our relationship with the environment, how we live, and how our lifestyles impact the natural world, humans and other creatures inhabiting it. This “time for creation” offers, in the words of Pope Francis, “individual believers and communities a fitting opportunity to reaffirm their personal vocation to be stewards of creation, to thank God for the wonderful handiwork which he has entrusted to our care, and to implore his help for the protection of creation.” The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops reminds us that “we show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of Creation”. Pope Francis urges us to recognize our connectedness with the natural world saying, “Nature cannot be regarded as something separate from ourselves or as a mere setting in which we live. We are part of nature, included in it and thus in constant interaction with it, (Ls 139). Advocating for Creation Care helps safeguard the inheritance the Creator has given us, an inheritance essential to our well-being. Pope Benedict XVI told us that protecting this inheritance is a way of fulfilling our role as stewards of creation.
