The gym Mass has been an important part of our parish as it allows families with small children an opportunity to attend Mass together where they might otherwise be met with some difficulty in the Basilica due to the lack of a cry room and only one restroom. Since a full month has gone by without Mass in the gym, I have noticed a couple things. First, how good it is to have our entire parish family united under one roof in the Basilica. It was always less than desirable to have the clergy, volunteers and various liturgical ministers spread out over two locations. I know it was sometimes frustrating if you attended a Mass and hoped to speak to a particular priest afterward only to find out he was off campus. For most, the Sunday Mass is their only interaction with clergy. In the last month, while attendance is healthy and charitable giving is up, none of our seven Sunday Masses (Vigil inclusive) held in the Basilica have been uncomfortably crowded. That being said, I am also very sensitive to the desire to have a suitable place for small children to be able to participate in the Liturgy in a way that is engaging to them and in an environment that meets their needs. That is why beginning on November 4, we will start a new format for our parish children in the Basilica, to replace the Sunday morning Mass in the gym. We now will be offering a homily geared toward younger children at the 8:30 a.m. Sunday Mass in the Basilica. We would like to have youth readers and choir, plus a donut social monthly in the parish courtyard. Age-appropriate child care for young toddlers who can t quite make it through the Mass will be offered at the Lyceum for families who attend the 8:30 a.m. Mass. The trained and Virtus-compliant volunteers/staff will be assisted by the clergy to help make the Gospel message for that Sunday really come alive for them. We hope to have Gospelthematic games, crafts and songs with movement, all at their appropriate developmental level. I hope this will provide the best of both situations and allow us to worship God in the sacred space of the Basilica as one family, while also meeting the real and important needs of families with young children and allowing them to attend Mass together surrounded by their parish family. While there may be a few early bumps in the road, I hope we will all be able to welcome our parish families with young children into the Basilica for the glory of God.

The Basilica of St. Mary + October 7, 2018 + The Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time + Page Six AROUND OUR PARISH & BEYOND A Message from Bishop Michael F. Burbidge on Respect Life Month 2018 In October, Respect Life Month, we renew our profound gratitude to God for the precious gift of life and our commitment to witness to the truth that every human person is worthy of our love and protection. We join with dioceses across the nation in observing October 7 as Respect Life Sunday and I invite every parish to proclaim the Gospel of Life through prayer, direct service and advocacy on behalf of the most vulnerable among us. Our 2018 theme, Cherished, Chosen and Sent, is needed now more than ever, as more than 5,000 pre-born children are lost to the violence of abortion each year in our Diocese and Virginia lawmakers consider legalizing assisted suicide. During this month of October, please join me in prayer and action for the unborn and for others whose lives are at risk. May we always turn with confidence to our Blessed Mother, Protector of Life, to seek her intercession for the success of all our efforts to build up the culture of life.

The Basilica of St. Mary + October 7, 2018 + The Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time + Page Seven FAMILY, CHILDREN & YOUTH NEWS from the Basilica School of St. Mary Rather, living the truth in love, we should grow up in every way into Him Who is the head, Christ. Ephesians 4:15 Ephesians 4:15 holds the verse for our theme Growing up in Christ.Saints, Stewards and Scholars for our 2018-2019 school year. Growth in Christ results in a dedicated community of believers who are saints, stewards and scholars. First, we should all strive to be living saints who are holy but also working toward a deeper holiness by admitting our weakness and relying on Christ for grace. It is our hope that each one of our students will someday reach Heaven. As stewards, we are surrounded by gifts we have received as part of the Basilica family, always keeping in mind that those gifts are for a greater good. We teach our children to care for the world and to use what they have for the good of others. Lastly, an appreciation and love for learning permeates the Basilica School of St. Mary. We educate scholars who are deep thinkers. Our students love growing in knowledge and wisdom. UPCOMING CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL OPEN HOUSES BISHOP O CONNELL.
