3 The Assumption of the Virgin Mary Monday, August 15, 2014 Mass hile not a Holy Day of Obligation this year, we cele- W brate the Feast of the Assumption, Monday, August 15th. Christians honor Mary as the mother of Jesus and as our mother. She was the chosen vessel of our redemption. She agreed to bear the child who would save the world. The Catholic church believes that God has taken Mary, body and soul, into heaven. One way of explaining this belief is to consider the story of the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark was a portable shrine that represented the divine presence for Israel. Literally and symbolically, with the Ark in their midst, the Israelite believed that God was in their midst. The Ark resembled an ornate chest. Sacred tradition tells us that among the sacred objects it originally contained was some of the Manna from Israel s journey in the desert. Eventually David prepared a place for the Ark within a specially designated tent. One of Mary s honorary titles is The Ark of the New Covenant. As the original Ark became a symbol of God s presence, so has Mary. As the original Ark contained Manna, so Mary embraced the Son of God, the Bread of Life, in her womb. As David prepared a home for the original Ark, so Jesus, descendent of David, prepared a place for Mary. As the original Ark found a home in a special tent, so God brought Mary to her final home in heaven. As we believe that Jesus was the first to rise from the dead, so we believe he has also received his mother first into eternity. Eastern tradition calls this event the Dormition or falling asleep of Mary, indicating that she did not die but was taken to heaven as if asleep. Pope Pius XII declared this mystery as a dogma of the Church in 1950, although it was widely believed and celebrated since the first centuries of Christianity. St. Vincent de Paul If you or someone you know is in need of food or financial assistance for rent or utility bills, please contact St. Vincent de Paul at Welcome, David Friedlander! We are proud to welcome David Friedlander as the new Principal of Summerville Catholic School.

Trinity Catholic School began as a Parish school and eventually transitioned into the sole Regional school of the Northern Region of the Diocese of Syracuse. In addition, he served 3 years as Principal of St. Jude School, a parish school located in the northwestern part of Manhattan in the Archdiocese of New York.
