SUMMER SUNDAY SOCIAL
DEFENDING LIFE! Virginia state legislators have formed a commission to study whether physician-assisted suicide should be legal in our Commonwealth. The commission will soon make a policy recommendation based on that study. A public comment period on the proposal opens on August 22. Bishop Burbidge has asked us to contact our legislators to voice our opposition to the plan. As Catholics, we can – and should – use this opportunity to defend the precious gift of all life, from conception to natural death. For more on the proposal that would legalize physician-assisted suicide in Virginia, and how to contact legisla-tors, please see the flyer in this issue of the bulletin or visit https://bit.ly/VCCassistedsuicide after August 22. QUEENSHIP OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Also on August 22, the same day the public comment period opens for the assisted-suicide proposal, the Church celebrates the memorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. May we implore her aid in defeat-ing any effort to facilitate the death of others through assisted suicide. Designated in 1954 by Pope Pius XII for May 31 (hence the “Queen of the May”), Mary’s Queenship is now fittingly celebrated on the eighth day, or octave day, of the Solemnity of the Assumption. She is called Queen of Heaven because her son, Jesus Christ, is the heavenly king of the universe. Indeed, the Davidic tradition of Israel historically recognized the mother of the king as the queen mother. From the earliest centuries of the Church, the faithful have offered prayers of supplication and dedicated hymns of praise to the Queen of Heaven. Because she is queen in the royal family of the baptized, she is a powerful intercessor for all of us. One of the questions in the application we completed to be named a Basilica is: “How many images of Mary with her royal crown are in your church?” Do you know?
SAVE THE DATE! Saturday, September 8 is the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, patron of our parish, and an important feast day for the Basilica. We will have Mass with Bishop Burbidge at 10 a.m., followed by a reception. Please note: There will be no 8:30 a.m. Mass or morning confessions that day. Watch for more details in upcoming issues of the bulletin and posted on our parish website, www.stmaryoldtown.org.

WORSHIP & FAITH FORMATION
O COME LET US ADORE HIM! Spend as much time as possible
in front of the Blessed Sacrament and He will fill you with His
strength and His power. — St. Teresa of Calcutta
Consider spending an hour with Our Lord in Eucha-ristic Adoration on Wednesdays. Adoration is YOUR own personal time with Jesus Christ. It integrates the entire faith community at St. Mary, uniting us in our intentions and concerns, increasing our prayer time and devotion. Many miracles and blessings have been associ-ated with Adoration. Our Wednes-day Adoration begins after the 12:10 p.m. Mass and continues until 7:30 p.m., fol-lowed by a Holy Hour with Compline. (During sanctu-ary renovation, Adoration and Holy Hour will take place in the Lyceum Auditorium on Wednesdays.)
