TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ODINARY TIME
St. Bart’s Religious Education (CCD) needs volunteer
teachers: 4th grade on Sunday as well as 7th and 8th grades on
Monday. We also need parishioners and parents willing to be
regular CCD substitutes who step in to teach when the regular
teacher needs to be off for a weekend. Here are the top 4
Reason given to NOT teach CCD:
4. I don’t know enough. What better way to learn! Lesson
plans, training, and support are provided. None of us are
expected to answer all the great questions our students come
up with; we listen and learn together.
3. Someone else can do it (better than I can). All God
wants is our best effort. CCD is a volunteer organization and
we need a diversity of gifts.
2. It is a big time commitment.
Yes.
It works out,
between lesson planning and teaching, to be about three hours
a week for 24 weeks. Illness or family situations come up.
When you need a weekend off, there are CCD substitute
teachers who help to cover classes.
1. I’m not sure if God is calling me to this? I wish God
would tweet or text. Instead, God’s call or inspiration to teach
CCD is often a small voice that continues to whisper under the
bluster of points 4, 3 and 2 above. If the idea of teaching
lingers, if it in some way captures you mind or heart, call Cathy
Mills
at
the
CCD
office
301.229.3431
or
[email protected] to talk about possibilities.
Sign-up for CCD Classes - Registration forms are in the
back of Church. St. Bart’s offer’s CCD classes at two times:
Sunday Morning: 8. 30-9.45 for Grade 1-8, as well as a 4-5 yr.
old program, and Monday Evening: 6.00-7.15 for Grade 1-8.
If your child is starting 1st grade in MCPS, or a private non
-Catholic School, register now to begin the first of two
years of preparation required to make 1st Communion in 2nd
Grade.
If your child is starting 7th grade in MCPS, or a private
non-Catholic School, register now to begin the first of two
of years preparation required to make Confirmation in 8 th
grade.
If your child is starting 2nd or 8th grade and attends a
private Catholic School, other than St. Bart’s school, your
child will also need to register with the CCD office for
Communion and Confirmation. They need to complete the
parish Sacramental requirements in addition to the
religion classes they have at school. Please contact Cathy
Mills at the Religious Education Office if you have any
questions.
St. Bart's has two Women's Prayer and Discussion Groups that
meet in private homes. They each have a social gathering,
opening and intercessory prayers, then read and discuss
selected books that increase our understanding of faith in our
lives. They're relaxed and friendly groups and new people are
always welcome. Thursday’s group meets 2nd and 4th
Thursdays from 9:30 to 11:30AM and resumes on September
8th. Contact Ann Kennedy, 301-367-5988, [email protected]

VIGESIMO SEGUNDO DOMINGO ORDINARIO
28 DE AGOSTO DE 2016
¿Cómo presentarnos delante de Dios cuando Él nos llame?
Nos presentaremos sin nada de este mundo. No contarán
las riquezas, ni los títulos nobiliarios, ni la condición
social, ni los derechos y privilegios... Nos presentaremos
en pobreza total. Nacemos sin nada y sin nada
moriremos. Delante de Dios, sólo contará la riqueza
sobrenatural de la gracia santificante recibida en el
Bautismo en la que esperamos crecer por la misericordia
de Dios. Seamos humildes y reconozcamos que no estamos
por encima de las demás personas. Busquemos siempre a
Dios, no a nosotros mismos como hacían los convidados a
la boda que ocupaban los primeros puestos poniendo su
corazón en los bienes de este mundo. Busquemos a Dios en
la humildad y pobreza de espíritu, ocupando los últimos
puestos del banquete y el Señor nos dirá: Amigo, sube más
arriba...porque todo el que se enaltece será humillado; y
el que se humilla será enaltecido.

28 AGOSTO- SAN AGUSTIN
San Agustín es doctor y el más grande de los Padres de la
Iglesia. Nació el 13 de noviembre del año 354, en el norte
de África. Su madre fue Santa Mónica. Fue muy
caritativo, ayudó mucho a los pobres. Durante los 34 años
que fue Obispo defendió con celo y eficacia la fe católica
contra las herejías. Escribió más de 60 obras muy
importantes para la Iglesia. San Agustín cayó enfermo de
fiebre y comprendió que ya era el final de su vida. En
esta época escribió: “Quien ama a Cristo, no puede tener
miedo de encontrarse con él. Murió a los 76 años, 40 de
los cuales vivió consagrado al servicio de Dios. Con él se
llega a la posteridad el pensamiento filosófico-teológico
más influyente de la historia.
30 AGOSTO- SANTA ROSA DE LIMA
La primera mujer declarada santa en América, dedicó
gran parte del tiempo a la contemplación. Anima a los
sacerdotes para que atraigan a todos al amor a la
oración. Los milagros empezaron a sucederse en favor de
los que invocaban la intercesión de Rosa, y el sumo
pontífice la declaró santa y la proclamó Patrona de
América Latina, Rosa de Lima, es la más bella rosa que ha
producido nuestro continente.
NOVENA A LA VIRGEN DE LA MEDALLA MILAGROSA
Un camino hacia Dios de la mano de María. Los segundos
martes de cada mes a las 7:30PM en la Iglesia de San
Bartolomé. Rezada en español, con exposición del
