M ass I ntentions
This year of 2016, our parish theme is
I know well the plans I have in mind
for you, says the LORD, … plans to
give you a future full of hope.
Jer 29:11
All Saints is a tithing parish, giving of our time, talent,
and treasure so as to give glory to God.
The Gospel today, poses a question: “Lord, will only a few
people be saved?” Jesus answered them, “Strive to enter
through the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will attempt
to enter but will not be strong enough.” Fr. Hans Urs von
Balthasar (died, 1988), was a theologian esteemed by St.
John Paul II and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. He wrote a
book, Dare We Hope That All Men Be Saved? With a Short
Discourse on Hell. Ignatius Press re-released this book in
2015 with a Forward by Bishop Robert Barron. Fr. Balthasar
indicates that we can hope that all will be saved; he does not
say that we are certain that all will be saved. Bishop Barron
wrote in his Forward:
I should like to conclude with just a word about the
implications of Balthasar’s position for mission and
evangelization. As I suggested above, some hold that
the lively hope for universal salvation would conduce
to indifferentism: if all will be saved anyway, why
bother with preaching, teaching, going on missionary
journeys, etc? But this is so much nonsense. The God of
the Bible delights in working through secondary causes.
Therefore, the ardent witness of deeply committed
evangelists, teachers, and missionaries might well be
precisely the means by which God deigns to bring his
people to eternal life. The hope for the salvation of all
ought not to dampen the missionary spirit, but rather to
stir it up.
This is why I believe that this text, much debated from
the time of its publication, will prove indispensably
important to the task that all of the post-conciliar Popes
have placed before the Church, namely, the work of the
new evangelization.
Even if you only read the complete Forward, you will have
much food for thought and prayer. (See w w w . w o r d o n f i r e .
org/resources/blog/remembering-hans-urs-vonb a lt h a s a r s - i m p o rta n t - b o o k /4620/).
This is why
parents pray so often for children who have seemingly set
aside or rejected the Catholic Faith. This is why we each
should learn to be comfortable with sharing the Gospel and
our Catholic Faith with others. Might we view this “narrow
gate,” for ourselves, as the call to share our Catholic Faith,

For this coming year, the Religious Education (RE)
office has established a two-year sacramental preparation
program. This means that children and teens who are
receiving a sacrament will need to be enrolled in Religious
Education class during their sacrament year and the
preceding year. For example, a child who would receive
First Communion in second grade in 2017-2018, would
need to be enrolled in first grade for 2016-2017. This
program will include the First Communion, Confirmation,
and Christian Initiation sacrament preparation programs.
2016-2017: Program Transitional Year
•
This year, all children may be enrolled into their
appropriate grade regardless of whether they
completed a preceding year of religious education
classes. This is to help families adapt to the new twoyear sacramental program.
•
Children who did not complete religious education
classes for 1st grade or 7th grade will need to
complete a transitional packet before they begin
classes in September, 2016. This packet will ensure
that the child has the adequate preparation they need
as they approach their sacrament year. These packets
are available in the RE Office.
•
Please note: If a child is scheduled to receive a
sacrament in 2017-2018 they need to be enrolled into
an RE class in 2016-2017 for their preparation year.

Strive to enter through

Luke 13:24
The catechist, then, is a Christian who is mindful of God, who
is guided by the memory of God in his or her entire life and
who is able to awaken that memory in the hearts of others.
— Pope Francis, Homily,-Sept. 29, 2013

v OLuMe I
S T. F R A N C I S
The Reformer
Rebuild my Church! That’s the mission Christ gave to St. Francis and it’s the perennial task
of the Church in every age of its life. But how is the reform and renewal of the Church to be
accomplished? The life of St. Francis demonstrates that Christ intends the foundations of true
and lasting reform to be built on the solid rock that is the radical witness of the saints.
S T. T H O M A S AQ U I NA S
The Theologian
The relationship of faith and reason is under intense scrutiny in an age beholden to the
competing claims of fundamentalism and secularism. So called “new atheists” insist that
the claims of religion amount to mere superstition, a retrograde holdover from a time
long ago. Others insist that the life of faith is a retreat into emotions and subjectivism. St.
Thomas Aquinas anticipated these objections and trends and demonstrated that to believe is
to think and that the life of the mind is integral to life in Christ.
B L . J O H N H E N RY N EW M A N
The Convert
Is there any truth in matters of religion? Should the Church simply retreat in the face of the
challenges of culture? John Henry Newman came into the Church as a convert and used his
prodigious intellectual gifts to help the Church better understand its identity and mission and
engage the challenges of a secular age.
S T. C AT H E R I N E o f S I E N A
The Mystic
Is the physical world all there is? Is science the only path to ascertaining truth? St. Catherine
of Siena witnesses to a higher world beyond the material. Though the fourteenth century
mystic never studied theology, and never learned how to read or write, her life constitutes a
powerful challenge to the flattened-out secularism of our time.
G . K . C H E S T E RT O N
The Evangelist
How does one engage a culture that is befuddled by Christ and suspicious of the Church?
The life and witness of this nineteenth century literary convert shows that the fundamental
disposition of effective evangelization is joy, and life in Christ is a day-to-day encounter with
an abundant and surprising offer of grace.
MICHELANGELO
The Artist
The master of sculpture and painting is not a saint but serves as the privileged
representative of the creative potential engendered by the Catholic Faith. The Church
professes that beauty is a route of access to God, and through humanity’s creative artistry
we glimpse the power and glory of the Lord.

The response to the St. Vincent de Paul Society school
backpack/supply drive was overwhelming! Thank you!
145 children will be starting off this school year with brand
new backpacks loaded with school supplies. This is 65 more
than last year! It is a joy to witness the gratitude of families,
relieved of this burdensome expense they face this time each
year. We praise God for the blessing of amazing generosity
of All Saints’ parishioners. It is the support of this caring,
giving parish which enables Vincentians to extend assistance
throughout Manassas and Manassas Park. The St. Vincent
de Paul Society depends on your charity and relies on your
prayer.
… [T]eaching the faith is something beautiful! It is perhaps
the best legacy we can pass on: the faith! To educate in the
faith, to make it grow. To help children, young people and
adults to know and love the Lord more and more is one of the
most exciting aspects of education. It builds up the Church!
— Pope Francis,
Address at the International Congress on Catechesis,
Sept. 27, 2013

Para el próximo año, el Departamento Educación Religiosa
ha establecido un programa de preparación sacramental de
dos años. Esto significa que los niños y adolescentes que
se están preparando para recibir un sacramento deben estar
inscritos en las clases de educación religiosa durante su
año de Sacramento y el año anterior. Por ejemplo, un niño
que recibe la primera comunión en el segundo grado en
2017-2018, tendría que ser inscrito en el primer grado para
2016-2017. Este programa estará vigente para la primera
comunión, confirmación, y los programas de Iniciación
Cristiana.

T ransición

Este año, todos los niños deben estar inscritos en
su grado correspondiente independientemente de
si terminaron el año pasado de clases de educación
religiosa. Esto es para ayudar a las familias a adaptarse
al nuevo programa sacramental de dos años.
•
Los niños que no completaron las clases de educación
religiosa para el 1er grado o 7º grado tendrán que
completar un paquete de transición antes de que
comiencen las clases en septiembre de 2016. Este
paquete se asegurará de que su hijo tiene la preparación
adecuada que necesitan a medida que se acercan a
su año para los sacramentos. Estos paquetes estarán
disponibles en la Oficina de Educación Religiosa.
•
Tenga en cuenta: Si un niño está programado para
recibir un sacramento en 2017-2018 tienen que estar
inscrito en clase de Educación Religiosa en 20162017 para su año de preparación.
