Love does no evil to the neighbor;
hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.
My dear friends,
Our regular Sunday Mass Schedule begins this weekend - 7:30am, 9am (Family Mass), 10:30am (Choir) and 12 noon. As we get back into the Fall routine, let's build and schedule our family's week around Sunday Mass worshiping the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Let us build each day around some dedicated time with the Lord in prayer and reflecting on the Word of God.
As you listen to this Sunday's first reading, please pray for Fr. Thumma and me, and the very serious task that is given to us as priests/watchmen in service to you.
Our parish school seems to be off to an amazing start this new year as you can see below! Thank you to our Principal, Mrs. Tracy Keelin, her team of teachers and staff, as well as the to the dedicated and involved parents for all you are doing! There is a wonderful sense of community and family in our parish school.
To foster a little parish pride, to get us ready for the parish picnic next week and to raise money for our IHM Social Ministry Account that directly helps those in need both locally and at times beyond our region, this weekend we have a giveaway of a number of items that the parish has had unused in storage and in the rectory. Please plan to visit the lower church to take something home with you and support Social Ministries at IHM! More information is below.
Our Religious Education Program kicks off this week with the 12noon Mass for Catechetical Sunday where we will ask God's blessing upon our Catechists as they prepare to teach the faith this year to our young people! Thank you to Mrs. Laura Covais, our Coordinator of Religious Ed, for all the preparation that has gone into this year. I look forward to welcoming the students and your parents this week!
22 years ago this Monday our nation endured the tragedy and evil of 9/11, and New York was hit in a particularly grievous way. Names of the parish's deceased will be displayed in church this weekend and until next Saturday. Our now new and working carillon bells will be tolled for 30 seconds at 8:46am on Monday in remembrance of September 11th.
Would you offer a prayer for good weather for our Parish Picnic next week? And then come and enjoy the company of other members of our parish community! Thank you Mrs. Camille Roche for all your planning and organizing! Please RSVP to assist up with the planning.
After some had heard Father Ignatius John Schweitzer, O.P., a Dominican priest of the St. Joseph (Eastern) Province, present at a Lenten renewal in the Bronx, they strongly endorsed him for a talk here at IHM.
Join us on Monday, September 18th from 7:30-9:00pm in the church for a Eucharistic Meditation on the Gospel of John.
Father Ignatius was ordained in 2011 and later spent six years living as a monk in a Carthusian monastery. He then returned to the Dominicans, discerning a strong call from the Lord to help others grow in the spiritual and mystical life. Upon returning, he completed his License degree in Sacred Theology, writing on The Life, Light, and Fire of Triune Love: A Trinitarian Spirituality from Scripture, Aquinas, Ruusbroec, and John of the Cross. He is the prior of St. Catherine of Siena Priory in New York City (411 East 68th Street). He hopes to be of service to the Lord’s loving cry to souls and souls’ cry for the Lord: “Abyss calls to abyss!” Father Ignatius will also be joining the staff of Saint Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers to assist in the spiritual formation of our men preparing for the priesthood. Click here for his photo.
Monday, October 2nd is our 2nd Annual Golf Outing sponsored by the IHM Development Committee. Please support this worthy fundraising event for our IHM Parish school and experience the wonderful sense of parish community! See you out on the course!
Who is being drawn to Jesus Christ and His salvation through the Catholic Church? Now is the time to come forward and contact the rectory, or prayerfully consider asking someone in the family or at work about becoming Catholic, and all of us may want to redouble our prays that the Lord's grace may stir up the hearts and souls of many! This process to be Baptized, or to make a Profession of Faith and enter the Church or to complete the Sacraments of Initiation (the Eucharist and Confirmation) for Catholics, is called the Order (formerly Rite) of Christian Initiation of Adults. Please reach out to the Rectory for a follow-up or for any questions.
God bless your Sunday!

World Day for Grandparents & the Elderly
is on September 10th
The theme for “World Day For Grandparents and the Elderly” in 2023 is “His mercy is from age to age”. In the United States, this “World Day” will be celebrated on September 10, 2023.
History -In 2021, Pope Francis established a “World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly”, to take place each year on the fourth Sunday in July. (This date was chosen because it is close to the feast day of Sts. Joachim and Anne, the grandparents of Jesus.) The bishops in the United States transferred the celebration to the Sunday in September after Labor Day (see the USCCB website).
Sunday, Sept. 10 | Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time | Matthew 18:15-20
Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches us how to correct a brother or sister. What is so rich here is the pursuit of the issue with a deep care for the person in question and also for the entire family of the Church (since love is our constant call). And then the wonderful conclusion: “If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.”
This sounds, at first, like a total rejection, but then we recall how Jesus treated the Gentiles and tax collectors—eating with them, pursuing them, drawing them into his circle. There might be a moment of rejection and expulsion in the process of fraternal correction, but it is only provisional and only for the sake of eventual reconciliation.
St. Augustine, who was never afraid to speak the hard truth when necessary, followed the recommendations of Matthew 18 very concretely. Over the table in his episcopal residence where he dined with the priests of his diocese hung a sign that read: “If you speak ill of your brother here, you are not welcome at this table.”
Bishop Robert Barron

The Cereal Effect (TCE) - Collection Boxes Located at Church Entrances through September 17th
This fall, Ursuline will be hosting its third-annual run of The Cereal Effect (TCE), a cereal collection to benefit HOPE Community Services in New Rochelle.
TCE started as an initiative to help combat student hunger in our local community, ensuring that students are able to enjoy a full nutritious breakfast before attending school. Over the last two years, TCE has grown into a massive school-wide project, having partnered with grocery stores including Trader Joe’s, ACME, DeCicco’s, and more.
This year, our goal is 2,000 boxes of cereal, and Ursuline would love to partner with the IHM parish to help us get there. We will place collection boxes at the entrances of the church so that parishioners can drop off any cereal boxes they can spare for our cause on or before Sunday, September the 17th. Thank you for helping Ursuline and HOPE fight student hunger in our community, one cereal box at a time.
Sincerely,
Olivia Stella
