A BASILICA-SIZE THANK YOU! Thank you to everyone who helped make the historic Mass yesterday morning, September 8, a memorable success. We celebrated the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the designation of our parish as a Basilica. Happy birthday, Mary! My personal thanks, especially, to Bishop Burbidge for celebrating the Mass with us and blessing the new symbols of our elevation to a Basilica, the ombrellino (umbrella) and tintinnabulum (bell). (Learn more about these symbols via our new Basilica podcast at http://stmaryoldtown.libsyn.com/ and on page 5 of this bulletin.) My gratitude, also, to the many parishioners and parish staff who helped with the countless details for the day and for all of you who attended the Mass and birthday party after Mass for Our Lady! It certainly takes the involvement of the entire parish family to plan and make such an event so wonderful.
A PRAYER FOR PURGING EVIL FROM THE CHURCH
O sweet Virgin Mary, conceived without sin, pray for the Church during this time of great attack. We trust in you, the new “Eve,” to crush the head of this vile serpent, who seeks to so grievously wound God’s Holy Church. By your great faith-filled obedience to the plan of God, you thwarted the evil of the devil’s cunning, and gave birth to our Savior. We beg your assistance in this critical moment, that you would purge our seminaries of all impurity, and raise up holy priests to further the Kingdom of God. May all Bishops exercise their charism of truth, and with strong united voices, prophetically call evil acts by their proper name. May the Holy Father, and all those given authority in the Church, be unafraid to take every necessary action to insure God’s people never have to fear this type of scandal again. May your great maternal affection help all those whose lives have been shattered due to these unconscionable offenses, and help strengthen all those whose faith is wavering by being exposed to such horrific scandal. For all holy priests, clergy and religious, give them courage to carry on with their ministries and not give in to the despair and sorrow which the evil one wishes to sow in their hearts. O Queen of Purity and Mother of all Hope, we place our confidence in your great intercession for god’s people. Amen. — Pedro de la Cruz © 2018 www.CatholicPrayerCards.org
Holy Cards with this prayer can be found at the back of the Basilica.
Oremus pro invicem. “Let us pray for each other.”

PRAY FOR OUR DIOCESAN PRIESTS September 9 — Rev. William B. Schierer September 10 — Rev. Stephen J. Schultz September 11 — Rev. James R. Searby

On Saturday, September 8, we celebrated the designation of our parish as a Basilica and formally receive two symbols of our special relationship with the Holy Father in Rome: The ombrellino and the tintinnabulum. Only after a church is designated by the Holy See as a Minor Basilica can it be outfitted with these symbols, which will be installed in our sanctuary. The OMBRELLINO is an umbrella or silk canopy of red and gold, the traditional Papal colors. It is commonly opened whenever a pope visits a Basilica. The overall theme of our ombrellino links the year our parish was founded (1795) to the present time. It is hand-embroidered and has eight scalloped edges. Each scalloped edge has a significant date or symbol: December 6, 2017 (the date St. Mary was named a Basilica by Pope Francis); 1795 (the year our parish was founded); the seal of the Diocese of Arlington; the seal of the Basilica; the crest of the Holy Father; the crest of Pope Pius VI, pope when our church was found-ed in 1795; the coat of arms of Arlington Bishop Michael F. Burbidge; and the coat of arms of Bishop John Carroll, Bishop of Baltimore (Alexandria was part of the Diocese of Baltimore when our parish was founded).
The TINTINNABULUM is a bell mounted on a pole and carried during a procession, along with the ombrellino, ahead of the clergy on special occasions. Our tintinnabulum is topped by two crossed keys, referring to the promise of Christ to Peter, “I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven” (Matthew 16:19). The keys also represent the continuous connection of our Basilica to the Holy See. Below the crossed keys are the four symbols from our Basilica seal:
1) A monogram of Ave Maria (Latin for “ Hail Mary” ), symbolizing her patronage of the parish. It also pays tribute to the prayer of the faithful, echoing the “Hail Mary” prayed across the span of the two millennia in the Church. 2) An English frigate (circa 1650), a symbol of the City of Alexandria, the sailing vessel by which Catholics sailed to the New World and the Church sailing over the seas of time with Peter at the helm. Similar ships brought the Jesuit founders of this parish, as well as many Irish and Scottish merchants, to the Port City of Alexandria. 3) Stars on a blue field, taken from the Seal of the Diocese of Arlington. The 10 small stars recall the historical significance of the Commonwealth of Virginia as the 10th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. The larger star in the center represents the Blessed Virgin Mary’s patronage over the Diocese of Arlington and the Basilica. In a more profound way, it signifies her Queenship over Heaven and Earth. 4) The IHS monogram, historically used to symbolize the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Taken from the Greek, it is an abbreviation of the name IHΣΟΥΣ (Jesus). Central to the seal of the Jesuit order, the IHS pays tribute to our founding parish pastors who came from the Society of Jesus.
