PRAYER REQUESTS MASS INTENTIONS Saturday Jul 14 8:00am Kate & Amy Strohmeyer 5:00pm Bernard David Sunday Jul 15 7:30am SMG community 9:00am Jerry Harbin 11:00am SMG Parish Family This weekend, we observe the feast of our patroness, St. Maria Goretti. Maria was born in Corinaldo, Ancona, Italy, on October 16 1890; her farmworker father moved his family to Ferrier di Conca, near Anzio. Her father died of malaria and her mother had to struggle to feed her children. In 1902 an eighteen-year-old neighbor, Alexander, grabbed her from her steps and tried to rape her. When Maria said that she would rather died than submit, Alexander began stabbing her with a knife. As she lay in the hospital, she forgave Alexander before she died. Her death didn't end her forgiveness, however. Alexander was captured and sentenced to thirty years in prison. He was unrepentant until he had a dream that he was in a garden. Maria was there and gave him flowers. When he woke, he was a changed man, repenting of his crime and living a reformed life. When he was released after 27 years he went directly to Maria's mother to beg her forgiveness, which she gave. "If my daughter can forgive him, who am I to withhold forgiveness," she said. When Maria was declared a saint in 1950, Alexander was there in the St. Peter's crowd to celebrate her canonization. She was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1950 for her purity as model for youth. She is called a martyr because she fought against Alexander's attempts at sexual assault. However, the most important aspect of her story is her forgiveness of her attacker -- her concern for her enemy extending even beyond death. Her feast day is July 6 (or transferred to the nearest Sunday for parishes named with her patronage). St. Maria Goretti is the patroness of youth. A beautiful new statue of St. Maria Goretti donated by the Wendell Rossman family (architect of our church) will be dedicated at all the Masses this weekend. May she forever hold all who enter this sacred place in her grace and intercede on our behalf to our Lord Jesus Christ.

A prayer to the patroness of our parish, St. Maria Goretti, on her feast day. O Saint Maria Goretti who, strengthened by God's grace, did not hesitate even at the age of twelve to shed your blood and sacrifice life itself to defend your virginal purity, look graciously on the unhappy human race which has strayed far from the path of eternal salvation. Teach us all, and especially youth, with what courage and promptitude we should flee for the love of Jesus anything that could offend Him or stain our souls with sin. Obtain for us from our Lord victory in temptation, comfort in the sorrows of life, and the grace which we earnestly beg of thee, and may we one day enjoy with thee the imperishable glory of Heaven. Amen. St Maria Goretti Born October 16th, 1890 Died July 6th, 1902 Canonized June 24th, 1950 Please join us in Piper Hall after 9:00 & 11:00 Mass for an Ice Cream Social in honor of St. Maria Goretti
