Dear People of Holy Family, St. Mary’s and St. Anthony’s:

 
Deanery convocation was held on September 5^th at St. Anthony’s, Loyal. We had around 110 participants. It was a great successful program. “Sharing the Light of Faith” was the theme of the year.  The participants liked the topic and appreciated the speakers and the arrangements. I personally thank the team and the participants.

My parents: Stanislaus and Chinnammal are celebrating their 50^th anniversary of their wedding this year. My elder sister is also Nun, religious and doing her ministry in northern side of India. She is celebrating 25^th anniversary of her religious vows. I have two siblings. First one is my elder sister; second one is my elder brother, got married and has two kids. I am the third and youngest in the family. Kindly pray for my family and especially for my parents since they are sick and not keeping well. 

We celebrate 24^th Sunday in ordinary time. The first reading of the week is taken from the book of the prophet Isaiah and it indicates the suffering of the Messiah. The second reading of the week invites us to show our faith in work, “so also faith of itself if it does not have works, and is dead”.

The Gospel reading indicates that the discipleship entails denying our very selves and following the way of the Lord. Jesus said to them, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me…”

Sep -17 Monday- Saint Robert Bellarmine, Bishop.
Robert Bellarmine, 1621; Tucsan; brilliant Jesuit scholar, preacher, writer, and systematic apologist of the Counter Reformation; most noted for his Catechism and Disputations; involved in the Galileo affair; cardinal archbishop of Capua; patron of catechists and catechumens.

Sep - 20 Thursday - Saints Andrew Kim Tae-gon, Priest, Paul Chong
Andrew, born in Seoul, Korea, was a convert to the faith and was ordained Korea's first native priest. His father was a martyr. In 1846 Andrew was tortured and beheaded along with his lay associate, seminarian Paul Chong Ha-sang. Between 1839 and 1867, 103 martyrs gave their lives for the faith in Korea.

Sep - 21 Friday - SAINT MATTHEW, APOSTLE AND EVANGELIST
Matthew, the tax collector, is called to be an evangelist, to proclaim the good news by the word and deed. According to the bishop Papias, the Church's canonical text of Matthew draws upon the Aramaic traditions associated with his name. Tradition holds that Matthew preached in Judea and in Ethiopia where he was martyred; symbolized by the winged human being; mentioned in the Roman Canon; patron of accountants and customs officers.

 
God bless you all,
Fr. Leo Johnson Stanislaus
