MISSION STATEMENT St. Patrick Church, in the process of strengthening its Catholic Community, seeks to make the gospel of Jesus Christ better known and loved through prayer, stewardship and good works. ST. PATRICK CHURCH KENNETT SQUARE, PA From the Pastor’s desk Week’s Sanctoral— St. Bruno, priest (+1101+)died in Calabria. He was celebrated at Reims and close advisor to his former pupil, Pope Urban II (1088-1099). In 1084 near Grenoble he founded La Grande Chartreuse (or Charterhouse, in Latin: Carthusia) which is the motherhouse of the Carthuisiam Order. Bruno desired “...to seek God assiduously, to find God promptly, and to possess God fully.” The Carthuisiam motto is “While the world changes, the cross stands firm.” Blessed Marie Rose Durocher, religious (+1849 at age 38) from Quebec. Began the first women’s sodality in Canada, also founded the Sisters of the Holy Name of Jesus and Mary for Christian education. Father Michael Connelly, OSFS, has been coming from Salesianum School in Wilmington to celebrate Mass at St. Patrick, regularly saying the 5:00 PM Saturday Vigil. This year marks Father Connolly’s 40th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood and you are invited to join him in thanksgiving to God at the 5:00 PM mass on Saturday, October 4. He will also celebrate Mass at 10:30 AM on Sunday, October 5. A good time to thank God for the gift of the Priesthood and to remember all the priests who have ministered to us in our lives. 0236 October 5, 2014 We have decided to lift the long paragraph which sat here for the last five months explaining the electronic site for making your weekly offertory donations for the support of the parish. You can still access this upto-the-minute method for your Parish Giving on the parish website. Need help? Please call the parish office for assistance. Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, October 7. This celebration recalls the rosary and its meditations on the mysteries of Christ and our salvation. It was put into the calendar by Pope St. Pius V in 1571 upon hearing the outcome of the great naval battle in the Bay of Lepanto, one of the most significant battles in European history. The Turkish fleet—an enormous squadron—sailed from Istanbul with the express purpose of defeating and occupying southern Europe. The Venetian and papal navies under the command of Don Juan of Austria sailed out to meet them and engaged in the Bay of Lepanto. All of Europe prayed the rosary and waited for news. The church bells would ring if it was a victory for the Christian fleet. The first bells rang out in Brindisi and were picked up all the way to Rome where the pope was waiting for the news and he declared the day a feast in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary. St. Denis, first bishop of Paris, (+258+) martyred with the priest Eleutherius, and the deacon, Rusticus on the Hill of Martyrs (“Montmartre”) St. John Leonardi, priest (+1609+) organized the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and also founded the Collegio Urbano which continues to train priests for the foreign missions. TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME The Church dedicates the month of October to Our Blessed Mother under the title of “Our Lady of the Rosary” because many prayers were answered when the Rosary was prayed. We can draw closer to Jesus and Mary when we pray and meditate on the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious mysteries of the Rosary. Join us in praying the Rosary after each weekday 7:30AM Mass and Saturday after the 8AM Mass. PLEASE PRAY FOR All praise and glory is Yours, Lord our God, for You have called us to serve You in love. Bless Our Sick: Keith Gereffi, Brad McCummings, Brian Smith, Susan Gore, Karen Gorman, Phil Cerami, Amanda Flathman, Michael Berube, Anthony Evan, Tom King, Helen Hughes, Joey Hughes, Michael Hughes & children, David Nilan, Dyula Komlossy, James Jennings, Sr., Tom Layug, Paula Ballard, Maria Bridy, Helen Scotese, Josephine Fahey, Jeanne Harkins, Mary Buffington, Helen Brennan, Richard Bonifacino, Colleen Sincavage, Helen Peemoeller, Ro Teel so that they bear this illness in union with Your Son’s obedient suffering, restore them to health, and lead them to glory. AMEN. Our Faithful Departed: Mary E. Clark. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. AMEN. Good and loving Father, watch over and protect all who serve in the Armed Forces of our nation. Surround them with your love and care and bring them safely home.

We are getting ready for the 20142015 St. Patrick CYO Basketball season for boys and girls. It is a great way to have some fun while developing skills and competing with other area parishes. We encourage you to join us and support your parish’s teams. Contact Bill Dobbins at [email protected], or call 302-540-4762, or call the parish office. The program is for boys and girls grades 5 through 8. The old parish convent/office/school annex is gone. The stone arches of the convent porch have been retained and have been “finished and capped” and made into a lovely pavilion. The weather was so clear and ideal for stone masons’ work that we were able to finish it speedily. The stone cross which stood at the peak of the original roof is placed in the center above the stone arches. The site of the vanished building is filled in with soil and will be an oblong piece of green lawn between the school building and the church. The “new look” of the school and church comes from the visual effect created by the absence of the old unattractive building which crowded the space. When the grass sprouts, and when the jardinières are filled with flowers next spring and summer, it will be beautiful. October 5, 2014 We are still in the process of constructing a new system of parish communication called “Flock Note.” Sign up for St. Pat’s text alerts. Text the word “Pats” to 84576 in the text box on your cell phone and encourage other parishioners who are neighbors of yours to do the same. Sign up and get a “blast.” The Capital Campaign that began in May 2009 has already reached its five year initial life span. While another $12,400 would complete the $740,000 original goal, because many people contributed above and beyond the pledge they made, others have unfinished pledges that amount to over $100,000. Much has changed since May 2009. Our school closed in 2012. We still have projects in mind, but not much cash. More about this to come.
