MAJOR FORTH COMING EVENTS.

I will want the Secretary to publish the dates and activities of major forth coming events like COMMISSIONING especially when the initial dates have changed.

Let us know the dates that is now fixed for each Deanary commissioning and venues.

This will serve as a reminder to Parish and Mass Centre's President to start planning and present candidates for the exercise.

The information should include, the Commissioning fee, letters endorsement by Parish priest and all other preparatory criteria.

A responsibility officer in the Executive or there is supposed to be Diocesan Commissioning committee or coordinator.

Such person could be calling parishes and mass centres to know how they planning for the exercise.

Two weeks to each Deanary commissioning, he should know and have a fair knowledge of how many candidates each Parishes and Mass Centres are presenting.

The reason is that, as the days draw near, the chaplain may want to know the total numbers for each Deanary he is expecting to commission.

Please, let us wake up to our responsibilities. Accepting position of responsibilities is an onerous one. It calls one to be dutiful- not to bear the title/ name of the position. "I am the Diocesan/ Deanary this ????"

Thank you all.

On Our Lady's birthday the Church celebrates the first dawning of redemption with the appearance in the world of the Savior's mother, Mary. The Blessed Virgin occupies a unique place in the history of salvation, and she has the highest mission ever commended to any creature. We rejoice that the Mother of God is our Mother, too. Let us often call upon the Blessed Virgin as "Cause of our joy", one of the most beautiful titles in her litany.

Since September 8 marks the end of summer and beginning of fall, this day has many thanksgiving celebrations and customs attached to it. In the older form of the Roman Ritual there is a blessing of the summer harvest and fall planting seeds for this day.

The winegrowers in France called this feast "Our Lady of the Grape Harvest." The best grapes are brought to the local church to be blessed and then some bunches are attached to hands of the statue of Mary. A festive meal which includes the new grapes is part of this day.

In the Alps section of Austria this day is "Drive-Down Day" during which the cattle and sheep are led from their summer pastures in the slopes and brought to their winter quarters in the valleys. This was usually a large caravan, with all the finery, decorations, and festivity. In some parts of Austria, milk from this day and all the leftover food are given to the poor in honor of Our Lady’s Nativity.
