Dear Lord,
Bless and protect the men and women whose hard work provides food and shelter to them and their families, services to our communities, and care to our world. Be with them as they work, but also as they rest and recreate in Your care.

St. Augustine’s, St. Mary’s, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton parishes will celebrate a Mass on the Grass on the St. Augustine’s church grounds on Saturday, August 22nd at 4:00. After Mass there will be multiple food trucks, fun and games for kids, karaoke, and trivia. It’s a wonderful opportunity to worship together outside and enjoy this vibrant community.

Things to Know

Mass will be held outside rain or shine under a big tent on the lawn. There will another tent offering more covered space for sitting and dining, and the parish hall will also be open for seating, streaming of the Mass, dining space, and cookies and coffee. Accessible rest rooms are located in the parish hall, and there will be a rest room trailer on the lawn.

Food Drive: There will be no official collection during Mass, but we are asking everyone to please bring a non-perishable food item or monetary donation for the Baldwinsville Food Pantry. Donations may be left at the reception table on the way into Mass.

Parking: In addition to the St. Augustine’s parking lot, we may park at Catherine McNamara Elementary School across the street from the church. If you are able, we ask you to please park there and cross O’Brien Road at the marked cross walk. We would like to prioritize the St. Augustine’s parking lot for people who require handicapped parking or simply need closer access to the event. We will have parking guides and a drop-off point in the parking lot.

What to Bring: While there will be a limited number of chairs set up under the big tent for those who need them, we ask you to please bring your own chair, a donation for the food pantry, a joyful spirit, and an appetite. All are welcome. Bring a friend - or two! - and carpool, if possible.

Only Saturday Mass in Baldwinsville: This will be the only Saturday Mass celebrated in Baldwinsville on that date. We sincerely hope all will join us in this celebration!

SPECIAL NOTE: The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is not an obligatory Holy Day of Obligation this year because the Feast Day falls on a Saturday.

The Assumption: A Sign of Hope
Is the resurrection a concept or reality? For many of us, the resurrection of the dead may be a stray idea we recite in the Nicene Creed. Heaven we discuss. But resurrection? The feast of the Assumption is a reminder to us that heaven gets even better! We pray that the souls of the faithful departed would soon be united to God in heaven. The truth is, the separation between our souls and our bodies was not God’s original plan for things. It’s one of the results of the Fall, of original sin. At the end of time and Jesus’ second coming, our bodies and souls will be reunited. Lest we forget, Mary’s Assumption is the reminder. Today, we celebrate that Mary is enjoying what we, too, hope to participate in — complete joy in heaven with our God, experienced body and soul. Today and every day, let’s pray for those who have died and that we may meet them again in the heavenly kingdom.
