Bellarmine on the Journey to Dismantle Racism - August 19, 6 PM
We invite the entire parish to participate in a discerning discussion around becoming more anti-racist, that is more inclusive and equitable, as a parish community on Wednesday, August 19, 6 PM via Zoom. You can express interest in joining by completing this RSVP form here. To frame our discussion, we will use Fr. Bryan Massingale’s ground-breaking book, Racial Justice and the Catholic Church. Fr. Massingale is a black theologian and professor at Fordham University, and his work calls all Catholic churches and spaces to become involved in what he calls racial solidarity. If you are not able to get through his book by August 19, you can still join the conversation. We will share a chapter from his book with those who RSVP. You can also watch his talk from America Magazine or from the Ignatian Family Teach-in for Justice in 2017 or read his recent articles connected to our current moment in the National Catholic Reporter and Commonweal Magazine. We hope through this conversation to continue helping our parish and our parishioners to grow, identifying concrete action and opportunities for conversion.

Visit the site above to check out our newest edition of our Social Mission Newsletter, featuring Social Mission offerings beyond what is in our weekly e-bulletin, as well as updates on other social mission-related events, resources, and opportunities from our community and non-profit partners. Children’s Faith Formation GIFT program begins August 30th!
This year we created a family-based model to allow you to PRAY, REFLECT and ACT together in your home. Everyone will have access to weekly online content that includes suggestions for creating a seasonal, at home prayer space, reflections on the Sunday Gospel, storytelling through engaging videos, plus suggested crafts and activities for service and mission. In addition to the online content, you will have the option to join a small faith group that will meet through Zoom or in person. Please take a moment to review a selection of online content, available here, to decide which option is best for your family. August Outreach Collection - Back to School with Crayons to Computers
While the pandemic has disrupted so much for so many, especially with regards to our schools, it is clear that students and teachers will still need resources this year. In lieu of collecting physical materials, since most of our parishioners are still worshipping from home, our August Outreach Collection will go to support the work of Crayons to Computers, a non-profit organization that provides materials to classrooms across our region. You will hear more about their work through a video ask in our 3rd Sunday of the Month livestream, and you can visit their website here. Donations can be made on our website here or you can mail a check to us, made out to Bellarmine Chapel, with Crayons to Computers in the memo line. We very much appreciate your support! Grief Work through the Month of August
During these months of pandemic, some of us have been grieving the loss of loved ones; others grieve the loss of part of their lives: a job/career, financial security, a social connection, a way of life. Healing can begin by naming a loss for which we need to grieve and by giving ourselves over into the loving plan of God. We invite you to take some time and write out for yourself whom or what you are grieving. Honesty in naming a loss and acknowledging the pain or emptiness we feel can be a powerful step toward healing and wholeness. When ready, you can place your writings in the basket located by the altar in the Chapel. If you cannot make it to the Chapel, you can anonymously share through this webform. At the end of August, these writings will be burned in a ceremony reminiscent of the Easter Vigil fire. More details on this communal grieving process can be found on our COVID-19 Resource Page. Expressing Gratitude for Kathy Kohl
Our Bellarmine community is very grateful to Kathy Kohl for her many years of service on the Bellarmine Chapel pastoral staff. She began in 2004 as Ministry Assistant to Rosemary Conrad, continued in that role with Jane Myers, and for the past several years has faithfully served many couples as Director of Marriage Ministry. Our prayers and love go with Kathy as she begins her new position as Campus Minister for Upper Class Retreats and the Religious Studies Department at Mount Notre Dame High School. Please join us in expressing our deep gratitude to Kathy for sharing her many gifts with us over these years. Children, teens, and adults are invited to create a work of art, write a poem or a note describing your favorite memory with her. Send your notes and photos of your art to gratitude@bellarminechapel.org by Monday, August 10, so we can collect and present them to Kathy! Receiving Communion at Home
