ST. NICHOLAS PROJECT NEWS

Aug. 24-Sept. 8: Shoes for St. Nicholas fundraiser. Please

help me buy shoes for the kids for school. I know how

much you love them! Brochures are on the table at the back

of the Church.

You’ve asked me many times for what reasons children get

placed at Kurn Hatin. Here is a story I learned about at a

meeting this summer:

Two sisters are at Kurn Hattin because of a long history of

parental drug addiction and mental illness. They were

being raised by a single parent who also has a younger

child at home with a learning disability. With several

members in the family living under one roof and only one

working adult, a mentally ill spouse, and a learning-

disabled younger child, this family was unable to cope.

Kurn Hattin came to their rescue, and the two girls are

thriving in a safe and secure environment. Your donations

help Kurn Hattin take in children such as these little girls

whose families are unable to take care of them.

JOSEPH HOUSE NEWS

Recently, Joseph’s House has seen an increase in visitors

needing our help and our services. We now find ourselves

often with closed doors after only two weeks of service!

After much prayer, Joseph’s House is developing a new

“Sustaining Donor Program”. Sustaining Donors will be

Mission Partners who commit to donating a set amount of

money, $5, $10, $15 or more, to Joseph’s House each

month. Our goal is to have 100 Sustaining Donors on our

list! Sustaining Donors will receive a Joseph’s House Do-

nor Letter each month with information on programs and

happenings. Will you help us reach our goal of 100 Sus-

taining Donors? For information or to sign-up as a Sustain-

ing donor, please contact Joseph’s House at 113 Elmwood

Avenue, Burlington, VT 05401 or call (802) 951-4290. You

can also email us at info@josephshousevt.org. Visit us on

Facebook! As always, thank you for your support. Our

service is possible only through your generosity. -Lori

LITURGY OF THE WORD

August 25th—21st Sunday in Ordinary Time

Isaiah 66: 18-21 Outcasts will be gathered home by God as

A precious offering in glory.

Psalm 117: “Go out to all the world & tell the Good News”

Hebrews 12:5-7, 11-13 Discipline strengthens what is weak.

Luke 13:22-30 The doorway into the kingdom is narrow.

Jesus tells us in today’s Gospel that the gate to eternal life is

narrow and many will not get through. However, both

Isaiah and Jesus speak of people from the ends of the earth

being welcomed into the presence of the Lord. We would

do well to remember what God asks of us and then follow

the advice of Hebrews and accept discipline. Let us exercise

the discipline to listen to the word of God and take it to

heart..

September 1st—22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Sirach 3:17-18,20, 28-29 Ancient wisdom insists that the

more humble we are, the greater we are.

Psalm 68: “God, in your goodness, you have made a home

for the poor.”

Hebrews 12: 18-19,22-24a Far from frightening, our

encounter with God will be like a glorious holiday.

Luke 14:1, 7-14 Jesus presents His own version of table

manners.

True humility requires that we acknowledge our weakness-

es, our imperfections, our humanness. We are not more im-

portant than our neighbor. Sirach offers this as a lesson to

guide the listener. Jesus tries to teach this to the Pharisees in

the Gospel. Humility begets generosity, as it recognizes the

value in our neighbor, especially those who are put down.

True generosity is shown when giving to those who cannot

repay. (Source: Pastoral Patterns, Spring 2019- World

Library Publications.)

The Cathedral of St. Joseph is pleased to announce the

establishment of a new fund by a parishioner ($50K) in the

Vermont Catholic Community Foundation (VCCF). Fifty

percent of the annual distribution will support the Cathe-

dral parish here in the Diocese of Burlington. We are very

grateful for the generosity of the donors who wish to

remain anonymous.

VCCF was established in 2015 to support apostolic activi-

ties for the Catholic Church in Vermont and help parishes,

schools and other Catholic organizations grow resources

over time to ensure a stable source of income for the

future. Funds in the foundation designated to a specific

purpose can only be distributed for that purpose. Once a

fund is established, a gift of any size can be added.

If you are interested in learning more about how to make a

gift to this Fund or how to establish a fund or make a

planned gift, please contact Ellen Kane, Executive Director

at 802
