FROM MY HOUSE
TO YOURS
Dear Parishioners,
The English writer and lay theologian G. K.
Chesterton once said: “The Christian ideal has not
been tried and found wanting. It has been found diffi-
cult and left untried.” Have truer words ever been spo-
ken? Chesterton seemed to understand what is clear to
anyone who takes seriously the call to Christian disci-
pleship, the following in the footsteps of Jesus means
being willing to accept a certain amount of suffering
and pain and that, at times, one might become discour-
aged and be tempted to give up.
So what helps us to keep going when the going
gets tough? How do we remain faithful to the call to
discipleship when the cross we carry gets heavy?
We are blessed and fortunate that Jesus offers
us the gift of himself in the Eucharist. Every time we
come forward to receive Holy Communion, we really
and truly receive Jesus – body, blood, soul and divin-
ity. This is meant to draw us closer to him and give us
the strength and grace needed to live more fully and
faithfully as his disciples.
As we come forward to receive the Eucharist,
may we do so with humble and grateful hearts. By be-
ing properly disposed, we may be drawn closer to
Christ and receive the grace and strength needed to
make God’s kingdom more visible here on earth in
spite of the challenges we face along the way. Like
Joshua in our first reading, may we make a firm deci-
sion to serve the Lord in all that we do; like St. Paul in
our second reading, may we give and receive in our
relationships the strength and support we need to re-
main faithful to our call; and in order to be like Jesus
in our gospel, may we seek to imitate his example of
mercy, love and compassion.
God Love Ya!
Fr. Reilly

Twenty First Sunday in Ordinary Time August 23, 2015
In case you didn't know,
the Pope is coming to
Philadelphia. Prior to
Philadelphia, Pope Fran-
cis will be visiting/
speaking in Washington
D.C. and New York He
will be speaking to the
President and Congress,
the United Nations dele-
gates and to the children,
women and men who will see him live or on
TV. We ask that you pray for Pope Francis'
safety and the success of his visits.
Prayer of Anticipation Pope Francis comes to our country in September. He will visit
our nation’s capital before attending the World Synod on the
Family in Philadelphia. This time coincides with the time
when we shift into a period of learning and change of routine
in family life. As members of the Church, we welcome the
Pope’s presence among us.
We celebrate an opportunity to know that he is in our midst
for a brief time. Yet, we pray that, as leader of the Church,
he will awaken in our minds and hearts the importance of
our faith in today’s society.
We pray that we will hunger for a deeper under-
standing of our faith as we participate in pro-
grams and events in our parishes that increase
our knowledge of the Catholic faith and Church
teachings.
We pray that we will seek opportunities to deepen
our faith life through prayer, Mass
attendance and reception of the Sacraments.
We pray that family life will be nurtured by a
strong effort to practice our faith traditions and
be nurtured by our relationship with Jesus.
We pray that we will strive to grow in holiness as
we follow the example of Jesus and live as his
disciples.
We pray that we will make an effort to discover
ways in which we can share with one another
the Gospel message and the faith we profess.
Prayer composed by: Sr. Ann Parker, Pastoral Associate,
Debbie Wheeler, Director of Religious Education
St. Anthony Parish, North Beach, Maryland
Pope Francis says....“What is the most im-portant subject you have to learn in life?” (answer: to learn how to love)
“You too, dear young people, can be joyful witnesses of His love, courageous
witnesses of His Gospel.”
The family which experiences the joy of faith
communicates it naturally. That family is the
salt of the earth and the light of the world;
it is the leaven of society. Pope Francis, October 27, 2013
Thank you to all those who
volunteered or participated
in our Vacation Bible School
last week. The theme was
Thailand Trek and the children had fun tasting
food and playing games from Thailand. One of
their favorite songs was "Jesus is Alive" and Je-
sus was certainly alive in the spirit of the children
and volunteers. We are looking forward to plan
for next summer's Faith Camp.
The Sacraments are a gift from Jesus Christ. All
children, regardless of the mental or physical
condition, can learn about our Faith and receive
Sacraments. To facilitate those families with
children who may need special assistance, we are
offering a Special Education Class. Please con-
tact Maryellen Carroll at the Rectory if you are
interested in accessing this class or want to
volunteer. Thanks
Attention Parents: The class assignments for August have been posted online. If you have any
questions, please contact Maryellen Carroll. The
attachments emailed to you about the upcoming
Papal visit are for your information and for you
to pray as a family for the success and safety of
Pope Francis in the USA.

Twenty First Sunday in Ordinary Time August 23, 2015
Considering a switch to
CATHOLIC
SCHOOL?
Tuition Transfer
Grants
are now available at
Saint Pio Catholic
Regional School!
Call
215-467-5430 and apply
today!
Affordable Catholic Education May
Be Within Reach! While we know that Catholic schools offer an excellent education and moral formation for their students, some families opt for other schools—public, charter, private, or homeschools—due to the lower price tag. Still, perhaps you wish that your child(ren) had the benefit of attending a Catholic school—just look at our standardized test scores, which have risen steadily at Archdiocesan elementary schools over the past few years!
In partnership with the Connelly Foundation, Saint Pio Catholic Regional School now has
the opportunity to offer
Tuition Transfer Grants
for new students who register in grades 2-6.
Any student currently attending a public, charter, home, or private school
who registers to attend Saint Pio Catholic Regional School is eligible to receive a
three-year tuition grant: $1,000 in Year One $500 in Year Two
$300 in Year Three
A total savings of $1,800 for your family!
A limited number of grants are available in each grade, and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis beginning April 7, 2015.
While these grants are only available to new transfer students who register at Saint Pio
Catholic Regional School, they will also benefit current families by filling empty classroom seats,
which increases the school’s efficiency and revenue, and minimizes future tuition increases.
Full classrooms are the surest path to
affordable tuition for everyone!
If you are interested in a Tuition Transfer Grant or in registering at Saint Pio Catholic Regional School, please contact Marianne Garnham, Principal at (215) 467-5430 to schedule a
meeting or a school tour.
