UPCOMING SECOND COLLECTIONS September 23—Priests’ Retirement Fund
Our Lady's "Peace Plan from Heaven"
Why does Our Lady love the Rosary so much? Because She wants to bring everyone to her Son! That's the point of the Rosary. Deeply rooted in Scripture, the Rosary
involves meditation on the mysteries of Christ's life, Death, and Resurrection. The "Hail Mary's" are background music as we focus on the mysteries of the Rosaries.
"WHAT CAN I DO?"
1. Say the Rosary every day. Join one of the Rosary prayer groups. Group Rosaries are said: 1) Mon.-Thru. after 9:00 Mass, and 5:30pm - in church. 2) Fri. & Sat. after 9:00 Mass & Fri. 5pm - in the chapel. 3) Sunday 3:00 pm. in church. Pamphlets and Rosaries will be available at all the entrances. A box for requests of mate-rials will be at the side entrance. 2. Offer up your daily tasks as a sacrifice in reparation for your sins and sins of oth-ers. By reparation, Our Lady means: 1) offering sacrifice to atone for our sins, 2) fulfilling our daily duties to the best of our abilities, 3) accepting the responsibilities of our state in life, 4) obeying the Commandments of God.

FALL FESTIVAL
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH
FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY!!
DETAILS TO FOLLOW
REST IN THE LORD For several weeks we have listened to readings that have recounted just how arduous the work of prophets and disciples can be. In today's Gospel, the Lord Jesus lis-tens to the reports of those he had sent out "two by two" to minister to the people. After the apostles reported what they had done, Je-sus, recognizing their fatigue, says, "Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest awhile" (Mark 6:31). Perhaps this is what the Lord is telling his disciples in the year 2018 as well. We need to pause on our jour-ney of discipleship and simply rest in the Lord. Sunday Mass provides many opportu-nities for quiet times, particularly during the periods of silence following the readings. Why not take the time today to allow the sav-ing word of the Lord to penetrate your heart during those silent times? Ask the Lord to re-new you in body, mind, and spirit for the ar-duous work of discipleship.
Dear Friends, This is my first letter to you since I returned home from my six-month Sabbatical. As much as I loved living in Rome and Jerusalem, as Dorothy says in “The Wizard of Oz”: “There’s no place like home!” Within a day of my return, two parishioners approached me and said that they heard I wasn’t coming back to OLL. Another parishioner told me that she heard I had returned early from my Sabbatical and was living in San Francisco. Where do people get this from? I’m not angry, but I am sad when I hear stuff like this. Why is there so much gossip surrounding my Sabbatical? I pray especially hard for those who feel the need to gossip.
On a happier note, isn’t our new, Our Lady of Loretto statue in front of the church beau-tiful? We will be having a special Dedication Mass and Blessing some time in Fall. I will keep you posted. Welcome Father Erick! I am so happy to have a full-time associate who speaks Spanish. I know the entire OLL Community is happy to have you. I look forward to working with you in helping to build up the best parish in this Archdiocese. I also want to welcome Father Tom for another Summer here at OLL. Father Tom and I were in St. Patrick’s College Seminary over 40 years ago. Father Tom will be here during the month of July. I’m writing this letter on July 16th. Hard to believe that exactly a month from today, OLL School starts. What happened to summer vacation? Remember the days when the first day of school was always the day after Labor Day? We will never see those days again. All Altar Servers are invited to go to the Water Slides in Concord on Thursday, July 26th. If you haven’t heard the news, please contact Erin in the rectory. Good luck to the 36 students and chaperones who will be leaving this week for the Steubenville Conference in San Diego. This is our largest group ever! I’ve been to 2 of these conferences and they have been amazing. I know you will have a great experience. Our prayers go with you! Thanks for the tremendous response to Father Jess Owens Mission Appeal Talk last Sun-day. The 2nd Collection was almost as big as the 1st. You are a good and generous people! That’s about it. Even during the Summer, a lot of things are going on. I am so happy to be home!
Have a great Summer week! Father Brian
FROM OLL YOUTH MINISTRY
Thirty six of our teens and young adults will be traveling this Friday-Sunday to the Steubenville San Diego youth conference. We appreciate very much your prayers for our safe travels and fruitful re-treat, and would like to take your prayer intentions with us! Anonymous prayer intentions can be placed in the white boxes found in each of the church entrances until noon on Wednesday. It is a privilege to pray for you - thank you for entrusting our young people with your intentions!

El "Plan de Paz del Cielo" de Nuestra Señora En Fátima, Nuestra Señora prometió que al final su Corazón Inmaculado triunfará, Rusia se convertirá, y se concederá un tiempo de paz al mundo.
El triunfo final puede llegar pronto, sin mucha sangre derramada. O bien, vendrá después de la guerra y los desastres terribles, que pueden ver la mayor parte de la humanidad borrada de la faz de la tierra. ¡Cada uno de nosotros siguiendo el Plan de Paz de María hará la diferencia! "¿QUE PUEDO HACER?" Comience por observar las peticiones de Nuestra Señora en Fátima: El "Plan de Paz del Cielo" de Nuestra Señora 1. Di el Rosario todos los días. 2. Ofrezca sus tareas diarias como un sacrificio de reparación por sus propios pecados y los de los demás. 3. Haz 5 primeros sábados 4. Use un escapulario como señal de consagración personal. Nuestra parroquia Nuestra Señora de Loretto se ha comprometido a tener información, explica-ciones y materiales disponibles para usted. Con-sulte la pantalla de Fátima en cada salida para obtener materiales y más información.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The American Rev-olution cleared the way for freedom of religion in the for-mer colonies, since the colonies had always been a more religiously tolerant place than the old country. Even so, colonial laws restricted the practice of the Catho-lic faith, and just as in England, Americans who de-sired to be priests or nuns had to go to the Nether-lands or France. As political storm clouds gathered in France, an American woman, Mother Bernardina Matthews, the prioress of the Hoogstraeten Carmel in Holland, made a brave move. With two other American nuns, her nieces, and a Dutch sister, she came to Port Tobacco, Maryland, in 1790. Within twenty years the community had grown to twenty, although by 1823 their farm failed and they had to move to Baltimore and open a school. The Carmelite order requires contemplation and cloister, so in time the school was closed. The Port Tobacco land had long since been sold, but in 1976 a community of nuns was able to return thanks to loyal neighbors who had worked for forty years for their restoration. Today, our original American convent is fully alive in prayer, hard work, and strong community. --Rev. James Field,
Queridos amigos, Esta es mi primera carta para ustedes desde que regresé a casa después de mi Sab-batical de seis meses. Tanto como me encantaba vivir en Roma y Jerusalén, como dice Dorothy en "El mago de Oz": "¡No hay lugar como el hogar!" Un día después de mi regreso, dos feligreses se me acercaron y me dijeron que habían oído que no regresaría a OLL. Otro feligrés me dijo que escuchó que había regresado temprano de mi Sabbatical y que estaba viviendo en San Francisco. ¿De dónde saca esto la gente? No estoy enojado, pero estoy triste cuando escucho cosas
como esta. ¿Por qué hay tanto chisme alrededor de mi Sabático? Rezo especialmente duro para aquellos que sienten la necesidad de cotillear. En una nota más feliz, ¿no es hermosa nuestra nueva estatua de Nuestra Señora de Loretto frente a la iglesia? Tendremos una Misa especial de Dedicación y Bendición en algún momento del otoño. Te mantendré informado. Bienvenido Padre Erick! Estoy tan feliz de tener un asociado de tiempo completo que habla español. Sé que toda la comunidad OLL está feliz de tenerte. Espero con interés trabajar con usted para ayudar a construir la mejor parroquia en esta Arquidiócesis. También quiero dar la bienvenida al Padre Tom para otro verano aquí en OLL. El padre Tom y yo estuvimos en el Seminario de la Universidad de San Patricio hace más de 40 años. El padre Tom es-tará aquí durante el mes de julio. Estoy escribiendo esta carta el 16 de julio. Es difícil de creer que exactamente un mes a partir de hoy, comienza la escuela OLL. ¿Qué pasó con las vacaciones de verano? ¿Recuerdas los días en que el pri-mer día de clases siempre era el día después del Día del Trabajo? Nunca más volveremos a ver esos días. Todos los servidores de Altar están invitados a ir a los toboganes de agua en Concord el jueves 26 de julio. Si no ha escuchado las noticias, comuníquese con Erin en la rectoría. Buena suerte a los 36 estudiantes y chaperones que partirán esta semana para la Conferencia de Steubenville en San Diego. ¡Este es nuestro grupo más grande! He estado en 2 de estas conferencias y han sido increíbles. Sé que tendrás una gran experiencia. Nuestras oraciones van con usted! Gracias por la tremenda respuesta a la Conversación de Apelación de la Misión del Padre Jess Owens el domingo pasado. La segunda colección fue casi tan grande como la primera. ¡Eres un pueblo bueno y generoso! Eso es todo. Incluso durante el verano, están sucediendo muchas cosas. ¡Estoy tan feliz de estar en casa! ¡Que tengas una gran semana de verano! Padre Brian
DESCANSA EN EL SEÑOR Durante varias semanas hemos escuchado lecturas que relatan la difícil tarea de los profetas y discípulos. En el Evangelio de hoy, el Señor Jesús escucha lo que le cuentan los discípulos enviados "de dos en dos" a servir a la gente. Jesús, comprendiendo que están fatigados, les dice: "Vengan conmigo a un lugar solitario, para que descansen un poco" (Marcos 6:31). Quizás esto también es lo que el Señor les dice a sus discípulos del año 2018. Debemos hacer un alto en nuestro camino de discípulos y simplemente descansar en el Señor. La Misa del domingo brinda muchas oportunidades para la reflexión, en especial durante los períodos de silencio luego de las lecturas. ¿Por qué no dedicar algo de tiempo hoy a permitir que la palabra salvadora del Señor penetre tu corazón en esos silencios? Pídele al Señor que te renueve en cuerpo, mente y espíritu para que puedas con-tinuar con la ardua tarea de ser un buen discípulo. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
