September – Oh What a Month!

I feel that I say that each month.  There is so much new information to read about the saints and our catholic faith.  It is often overwhelming and a bit challenging to keep up.  There are notable feasts during the month of September to help us achieve an intimate relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ; they are as follows:

  • St. Gregory the Great
  • St. Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa), foundress of the Missionaries of Charity order
  • St. Peter Claver
  • St. John Chrysostom
  • St. Matthew, the apostle
  • St. Pio of Pietrelcina who received the signs of the stigmata
  • St. Vincent de Paul
  • The Archangels–St. Michael, St. Gabriel & St. Raphael

Wow!  However, let us not forget the most important events of the month of September, on which dates you should make every effort possible to go to mass:

  • The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on September 8
  • The Most Holy Name of Mary on September 12
  • The Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14
  • Our Lady of Sorrows on September 15

Remember to participate in the First Friday adoration.  Try not to skip this one.  Enjoy your month of September.
