Prayer for the Canonization of our Parish Son, The Venerable Michael J. McGivney

God, our Father, protector of the poor, and defender of the widow and orphan, you called your priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor. Through the example of his life and virtue may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and build-ing up his Body which is the Church. Let the inspiration of your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of caring for the needy and the out-cast. We humbly ask that you glorify your servant Father Michael J. McGivney on earth accord-ing to the design of your holy will. Through his intercession, grant the favor, I now present (here make your request). Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

God Is Calling You

to a Deeper Relationship with Him

If we consider that God is the Divine Bridegroom and the Church is his Bride, then the prophets can be seen as “spiritual marriage counselors.” They afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, calling us to return to our covenant relationship with God. They urge us to repentance, warn us of the dangers of sin, and announce the blessings of faithfulness. Their prophetic words speak to us even today, as they draw us closer to our heavenly Bridegroom. The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception will begin The Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy on September 8th at 7 PM. All are welcome to join us in McGivney Center. For more information or to register for the study visit the registration table after Mass on August 20-21 or August 27-28. You may also contact Lou Cerullo at 203-558-0248 or Nadine Merancy at 203-510-3376.

Congratulations Father Ford!

With great joy we congratulate Fr. Ford on the occasion of his 29th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood on August 29th. We thank him for his loving service to the Church. May God bless him abundantly in his priestly ministry. "The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus. When you see a priest, think of our Lord Jesus Christ." St. John Vianney

Housing Needed for Refugee Families Catholic Charities is in urgent need of large, affordable, multi-bedroom apartments for refugee families arriving in the very near future in the Greater Hartford Area. Some of the families are as large as ten members. It is also helpful if the apartments are situated near public transportation routes. These would be paid rentals with a lease period of one year with the option to renew.

If you know of an apartment that meets these criteria, please contact Mr. Jama Ahmed, Assistant Direc-tor of Migration, Refugee and Immigration Services at 860-248-5850 or email:

[email protected], or Ms. Alyce Menald, Administrative Assistant, at 860-240-5661 or email [email protected].

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops have requested in light of this time of “great strain on civil society” that September 9th be a Day of Prayer for Peace in our communities. Our Archdiocese has designated the Basilica of the Im-maculate Conception as one the area churches to conduct an hour of prayer for peace and healing from 4:30 to 5:30 PM followed by Holy Mass at 5:30 PM on September 9, 2016.

“I have stressed the need to look toward additional ways of nurturing an open, honest and civil dialogue on issues of race relations, restorative justice, mental health, economic opportunity, and addressing the question of pervasive gun violence,” Archbishop Kurtz said. “The Day of Prayer and special task Force will help us advance in that direction. By stepping for-ward to embrace the suffering, through unified, concrete action animated by the love of Christ, we hope to nurture peace and build bridges of communication and mutual aid in our communities.” (Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz) The Day of Prayer for Peace in Our Communities will be celebrated on the feast of St. Peter Claver, September 9. and will serve as a focal point for the work of the task force.

Thank you to all who contributed books to the Basilica Lend-ing Library. Donations are no longer being accepted at this time. The Lending Library will serve the educational needs of the many faith formation activities at the Basilica.

A Message from the Rector I’d like to share an article I read recently by Archbishop Charles Chaput on his observations of the upcoming Presidential election

(from an article posted August 15, 2016 on CatholicPhilly.com website)

“Comparing Hillary Clinton with Donald Trump, "both have astonishing flaws," and "neither is clearly better than the other," writes Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, in a column on the CatholicPhilly.com website.

In an area expected to vote for Democrats in November as it has in recent presidential elections, the spiritual leader for the region's Catho-lics sees a moral (or immoral) equivalence between the two leading candidates for president. His comments, posted Friday, stressed that his views are personal "from a brother in the faith, not as teachings from an archbishop."

Calling himself a "happily" registered independent, Chaput said it was not enough to vote for someone because he or she attends your church: He challenged the self-described Catholicity of Vice President Biden and vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine, who, Chaput wrote, "seem to ignore or publicly invent the context of their Catholic faith as they go along." The church in its catechism teaches that abortion is "gravely opposed to the moral law" and that civil law should protect humans "from the moment of conception." Individual Catholic bishops have criticized Biden and Kaine for joining fellow Democrats in sup-porting abortion.

Next, noting that both Trump and Clinton are wealthy, Chaput ques-tions how the "average American" can trust people whose lives are spent so far from "where most Americans live, work, and raise families."

Unlike his criticism of Catholics Biden and Kaine, Chaput cited the views of "a lot of people" - not his own - as the foundations for criticiz-ing the presidential hopefuls.

"A lot of people," Chaput wrote, see Trump as "an eccentric business-man of defective ethics whose bombast and buffoonery make him in-conceivable as president." And "a lot of people" think that Clinton "should be under political indictment" and that she has escaped prose-cution because of her prominence.” So how should Catholics choose? Especially when facing "deeply flawed" candidates, Chaput says that "people who submit their lives to Jesus Christ, to Scripture, and to the guidance of the community of belief we know as the Church" ought to "pray before we vote" - not just "mumbling a Hail Mary" but praying "deeply" and weighing moral stands. It's "blasphemous," Chaput adds, to assume God backs Republi-cans, or Democrats, or "any political party." Yet God "is always con-cerned with good and evil, and the choices we make between the two." No single issue, he wrote, "stands in isolation." But not all are equally important, either. The "right to life undergirds all other rights" and can't be set aside in favor of other rights "without prostituting the whole idea of human dignity." Since the "right to life" is often invoked by abortion opponents, the wording may better fit Republicans, whose

Job Opening…….St. Mary School is looking for a Director of Advancement and Marketing. This is a part-time position that requires between 25-28 hours per week. The Director of Advancement & Marketing is responsible for planning and implementing a comprehensive program of development including the cultivation of alumni/constituent relations and the execution of all fundraising programs including annual fund, capital efforts, planned giving, corporate support, and special events. The Director of Advancement & Marketing will also recruit and retain student population consistent with the mission and strategic plan of St. Mary School in order to meet the enrollment goals established by the school administration. Interested candidates should email a cover letter and resume to the Principal, Jonathan DeRosa, at [email protected].

2016 platform does not call for an end to abortion but does support bans on public funding, parental consent, and other restrictive meas-ures opposed by Democrats. In 1999, Trump advertised himself as "pro-choice" before reversing his position and seeking the Republican presidential nomination. Chaput did not raise the issue of candidates changing political or moral positions to appeal to voters. While writ-ing negatively about both Clinton and her running mate, Chaput was silent on Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a social conservative and former Catholic who now attends Grace Evangelical Church in Indianapolis.

The archbishop blamed news media and social media for muddying the issues: "God created us with good brains. It follows that he will hold us accountable to think . . . before we act politically." The social-media "mobcracy" and the "relentless catechism of consumption on our TVs," he warned, threaten to reduce voters to "opinionated and distracted cattle." Will he change any votes? Chaput's letter had raised more than 400 Facebook "likes" the day after it went up, noted his spokesman, Kenneth A. Gavin. Commenter Linda M. Estock Patton, of Phoenixville, wished Chaput had been more emphatic: "With all due respect archbishop, if you list everything that each candidate stands for, and then compare it to Catholic teaching, it will be very clear who to vote for," she wrote. "It would be better to be more specific than so general."

Some Catholics noted Chaput's words in the context of the long and fraught history of Christian engagement with "Caesar," or secular governments. Father Patrick Sieber, a Franciscan priest based in Ken-sington, said Chaput was taking up the old question of what Chris-tians owe Caesar. "There is an attitude that it doesn't matter who is king or queen, because the Church is in its own realm, and it's tough enough being Christian without worrying who is sitting on the throne," Sieber said in an interview. "When we all worked in factories, many Catholics used to be Democrats. When they moved to the sub-urbs, they found Republicans were more supportive of some of their issues," he added. But as a guide to choosing sides, "the Church lost moral authority when it couldn't protect the kids." Sieber felt it was significant that Chaput implied in the letter that people could in good conscience avoid voting for either candidate. "Some of the politicians probably think that's the real mortal sin."

In his letter, Chaput concluded that he was still personally undecided between the major candidates, a third-party protest vote, or none of the above. So he's planning to reread the late, secular Czech leader Vaclav Havel's essays, Politics and Conscience and The Power of the Powerless, along with recent works by Christian writers and the 1998 American Catholic bishops' guidelines on public issues, Living the Gospel of Life, before pulling the lever.
