20th Sunday in Ordinary Time

WEEKLY MASS SCHEDULE TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENT - Due to continuing work on the ceiling at Holy Name, there will be no Mass on Tuesday, August 19. Instead, Mass will be held on Thursday, August 21 at Holy Name, and also on August 22, in celebration of the Queenship of Mary.

 

 

THE CATHOLIC BUSINESS NETWORK of the Diocese of Wilmington continues its inaugural year Sept. 5 at Holy Savior Church in Ocean City, Maryland.

Breakfast is $40 and first-time attendees are entitled to a free print and digital advertisement promoting their business in The Dialog and thedialog.org.

CATHEDRAL COLLECTION - this weekend. Your donation will help support the mother church of our diocese and the presence of the Catholic Church in the heart of the neighborhood in which it is located. Envelopes can be left in the collection basket as usual and thank you for your support!

 

 

FAITH AND CHARITY CATHOLIC APPEAL - We are on target to reach 20,000 in pledges by the end of August. This would mean that we have attained 2/3 of our goal!  We still need around $1,000 to reach that goal for this month. We can do it! Thank you on behalf of the many people throughout the diocese who are helped by your giving.

 

 

When you or a friend, neighbor or loved one are sick, recuperating from surgery or homebound for any reason, remember that you can always view the Sunday Mass livestream from our beautiful and historic Cathedral of Saint Peter.  Watch the Mass live on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. or anytime on replay on the Diocese of Wilmington's YouTube channel, YouTube.com/DioceseofWilm. This is a free service of the Cathedral and the Office of Communication of the Diocese of Wilmington.  Please note that livestreamed Mass is NOT a valid substitute for attending Mass in person and does not fulfill your obligation if you are healthy and/or not otherwise seriously impeded. It is meant to be a consolation and a help for prayer for those incapable of attending in person.

 

PLEASE remember in your prayers the sick of the parish, including Fr. John Mink, Mark Shields, Hope Carlson, Joe Bicknell, Kathleen O'Connor, Maddeline West, Shawn Leahy, Dave Craft, Allison Kargas, Janice Grant, Lillian Herz, Rhonda Bain, Ellen Cimino, Ed and Mary Weatherby, baby Carter Harycki and his mother Claire Harycki, Jeff and Vivian Limbeck, and Rob Demaris.

 

Pray fervently for peace in Ukraine, and Sudan, the Holy Land, and for lasting peace in Gaza, where innocent civilians have died in great numbers, as we also remember the surviving hostages still in danger after many months. Humanitarian aid, especially food, must be allowed to reach the ordinary people, and in sufficient quantities. Pray for those in other troubled areas of our world, that governments may pursue secure, true peace and justice, and for victims of violence everywhere. Remember the people and any of God's creatures suffering in the aftermath of various disasters, in our country and elsewhere, those who will be affected by bad weather, as well as all those suffering from human cruelty and neglect.
