Saint Gregory the Great (540‐604) September 3

I magine, fourteen hundred years a er death, boas ng a best‐selling CD! Yet outside the Church and within, Gre‐gorian chant is enjoying a renaissance. S ll, the meless

sacred music that bears his name is but part of Gregory’s legacy. Renouncing civic service for monas c life, Gregory’s administra‐

ve and diploma c skills prompted con nual summons from the cloister. Papal ambassador and advisor, he was eventually elected pope himself, renowned as a wise steward of the church’s materi‐al possessions, generous benefactor of the poor, sponsor of mis‐sionaries, and promotor of monas cism. His liturgical enrichment of the Church endures not only in Gregorian chant, but in elo‐quent homilies s ll gracing the Liturgy of the Hours, the “Gregorian Canon” (Eucharis c Prayer I), and his spiritual classic, Pastoral Care, once presented to new bishops at ordina on. Of countless impressive papal tles—Supreme Pon ff, Vicar of Christ, Successor of Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles—the tle s ll so cherished that it heads official documents is the one Greg‐ory coined to describe his papal ideal: Servant of the Servants of God. Together with being designated “the Great,” a fi ng epi‐taph. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

San Gregorio Magno (540‐604) 3 de sep embre

G regorio nació en Roma, donde posteriormente cursó estudios de Derecho, llegando a ser Pre‐fecto de la ciudad a los 34 años. No obstante

su éxito, a la muerte de su padre, se dedicó a la construc‐ción de conventos, haciendo de su casa uno de ellos. Abraza la vida de monasterio y a los 35 años es ordenado diácono y enviado como representante papal a la actual Turquía. Vol‐vió a Roma como secretario del Papa Plagio II, y a su muer‐te, fue escogido unánimemente por el clero como el obispo de Roma. Como tal, dio firmeza al papado independizándo‐lo del Emperador, siendo el primer monje en llegar al papa‐do, tenía un gran amor por la liturgia y decretó que se re‐copilaran los himnos an guos de la cris andad, llevando a cabo una reforma litúrgica y creando un Misal nuevo que combinaba varios ritos. Gracias a él se renovó el canto en la liturgia y en su honor, se le llamó canto gregoriano. Se le da el califica vo de Magno o Grande por la influencia de su papado así como de sus escritos. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Holy Father's Prayer Intentions for September, 2020

Universal prayer inten on

Respect for the Planet’s Resources We pray that the planet’s resources will not be plun‐dered, but shared in a just and respec ul manner.

Intención de oración universal Respeto de los recursos del planeta. Recemos para que los recursos del planeta no sean saqueados, sino que se compartan de manera justa y respetuosa.

“FEED THE HUNGRY” These words, spoken by Jesus, are just as relevant today in

Western North Carolina as when they were proclaimed

2000 years ago. Food insecurity has been a major issue in

Western North Carolina for years and recently the problem

has go en considerably worse due to the Covid‐19 pan‐

demic. St Barnabas’s St Vincent DePaul Society recognized

this issue about 12 years ago and established a small food

pantry serving Buncombe and Henderson Coun es. Under

the outstanding leadership of Vincen an Fred Petrazio, the

pantry has grown not only to be a signifi‐

cant element of our ministry but a lifeline

to many of our neighbors. During 2019,

we distributed a total of 5,500 food boxes

to 1,500 needy individuals and families.

Post Covid, the demand has increased by

30% ‐ 40%. The primary source of income

to support the pantry is generous dona‐

ons from our parishioners. Over the past

several years we have also been relying on

annual grants from several organiza ons to supplement

our parish’s generosity in order to sustain our growth. We

never want to turn a needy individual or family away due

to lack of resources.

One of the organiza ons we partner with is the Henderson County Hunger Coali on, who has graciously awarded us grants over the past 2 years. The Hunger Coali on distrib‐utes funding through grants to the 11 coali on members who all operate food distribu on centers in and around Henderson County. For the past 37 years, the Hunger Coa‐li on’s primary fundraising ac vity has been an annual “Hunger Walk” involving hundreds of volunteers from vari‐ous coali on agencies. Dona ons were based on the num‐ber of miles walked. This year, however, the “Hunger Walk” has been cancelled due to the Covid‐19 virus. In‐stead there will be a “Virtual” walk. Individuals from the coali on agencies are being encouraged to set up their own walk to raise money. The goal is to raise $100,000.

Vincen an Bob May and his wife Cathy have volunteered to walk 3‐5 miles on Sep 22 to represent the St Vincent DePaul Society of St Barnabas Church in the virtual hunger walk. Here’s what you can do to help: Donate to support Bob and Cathy’s walk. All the funds will go directly to the Hunger Coali on to feed needy individuals and families in our community. As Catholics and Chris ans, we have a responsibility to love and care for our neighbors and this is a great way to respond to the Lord’s command to “feed the hungry”.

If you can donate, please make checks payable to Hender‐son County Hunger Coali on or put cash dona ons in an envelope marked with HCHC on the front and deposit them in the “poor box”, located near the food pantry. Do‐na ons must be submi ed before Sat Sep 26.

Thank you for your generosity.

"ALIMENTA AL HAMBRIENTO"Estas palabras, dichas por Jesús, son tan relevantes hoy en el oeste

de Carolina del Norte como cuando fueron proclamadas hace 2000

años. La inseguridad alimentaria ha sido un problema importante

en el oeste de Carolina del Norte durante años y recientemente el

problema ha empeorado considerablemente debido a la pandemia

de Covid‐19. La Sociedad St Vincent DePaul de St Barnabas

reconoció este problema hace unos 12 años y estableció una

pequeña despensa de alimentos para los condados de Buncombe y

Henderson. Bajo el liderazgo sobresaliente del vicen no Fred

Petrazio, la despensa ha crecido no solo para ser un ele‐

mento importante de nuestro ministerio, sino también

un salvavidas para muchos de nuestros vecinos. Durante

2019, distribuimos un total de 5.500 cajas de alimentos a

1.500 personas y familias necesitadas. Después de Covid,

la demanda ha aumentado entre un 30% y un 40%. La

principal fuente de ingresos para apoyar la despensa son

las generosas donaciones de nuestros feligreses. Durante

los úl mos años también hemos dependido de las sub‐

venciones anuales de varias organizaciones para comple‐

mentar la generosidad de nuestra parroquia con el fin de sostener

nuestro crecimiento. Nunca queremos rechazar a una persona o

familia necesitada por falta de recursos.

Una de las organizaciones con las que nos asociamos es la Coalición contra el Hambre del Condado de Henderson, que gen lmente nos ha otorgado subvenciones durante los úl mos 2 años. La Coalición del Hambre distribuye fondos a través de subvenciones a los 11 miembros de la coalición que operan centros de distribución de alimentos en y alrededor del condado de Henderson. Durante los úl mos 37 años, la principal ac vidad de recaudación de fondos de la Coalición contra el Hambre ha sido una "Caminata contra el Hambre" anual en la que par cipan cientos de voluntarios de varias agencias de la coalición. Las donaciones se basaron en la can dad de millas recorridas. Este año, sin embargo, la "caminata del ham‐bre" ha sido cancelada debido al virus Covid‐19. En su lugar, habrá una caminata "virtual". Se anima a las personas de las agencias de la coalición a que organicen su propia marcha para recaudar fon‐dos. El obje vo es recaudar $ 100,000.

El vicen no Bob May y su esposa Cathy se ofrecieron como volun‐tarios para caminar 3‐5 millas el 22 de sep embre para representar a la Iglesia St Vincent DePaul Society of St Barnabas en la caminata virtual del hambre. Esto es lo que puede hacer para ayudar: Done para apoyar la caminata de Bob y Cathy. Todos los fondos irán di‐rectamente a la Coalición contra el Hambre para alimentar a las personas y familias necesitadas de nuestra comunidad. Como católicos y cris anos, tenemos la responsabilidad de amar y cuidar a nuestro prójimo y esta es una excelente manera de responder al mandato del Señor de "alimentar a los hambrientos".

Si puede donar, haga los cheques pagaderos a Henderson County Hunger Coali on o ponga las donaciones en efec vo en un sobre marcado con HCHC en el frente y deposítelas en la “caja de pobres”, ubicada cerca de la despensa de alimentos. Las donaciones deben enviarse antes del sábado 26 de sep embre.

Gracias por tu generosidad.
