CONGRATULATIONS, DEACON ANDY!
Last Sunday, Deacon Andy celebrated his first Mass with our St. Thomas of
Villanova Parish Family. It was a wonderful day of celebra on and joy. Thank
you, Deacon Andy for sharing this day and your inspiring words of God's love for
all. We con nue to ask God for His blessings on Andy and all those who are
being called to Priesthood.
Many who could not a end asked to watch his first Mass or read a copy of his
homily. We are happy to be able to provide both!
You can visit our website: www.stov.org for quick links to the Mass and Homily.
Or, follow this link to watch Andy's first Mass:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LzUMTDeMhU
Here are a few excerpts from Deacon Andy's homily:
"As the woman responds, “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.”
And Jesus said, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish,” we see that the metaphorical table
of the Lord’s goodness has room for the outcast. Jesus came to seek the lost of the house of Israel, and yet, he saves
this outcast woman’s daughter. He shows us that there is more to be given, that his saving works through his passion,
death, resurrec on and ascension are available for all people. The scraps from this table of the Lord were enough to
heal the woman’s daughter who was tormented by a demon! Imagine what grace comes from being at the table and
ea ng the full meal! Some mes, as in the case of Friday night pizza, the pizza crust, the scraps of the table, are the best
part of the meal."
" As we approach this altar in a few moments, whether we are frequent Mass goers or not, whether we have been
faithful to our call of Chris an discipleship or not, whether we have always had a place or just recently have been
invited to the table, may we believe that here in this place, we all have a place at the table. That here in this place,
people of all backgrounds and upbringings gather as one unified body, and praise God for his blessings that we
undeservedly receive. That here in this place, everyone gets a piece of the feast. "
Deacon Andy with his parents, Beth and Mike Deacon Andy assisting Fr. Kris at Mass

STUDENTS!
From the Desk of the Principal…
Back to school! We are off to a wonderful and fresh start. We opened our doors for students Monday, August 17 a er
gaining cer fica on for our reopening plan from the Archdiocese. Many people worked long and hard to make this
possible, and we are so grateful for their commitment to our school!
Many parishioners have been curious about our reopening. To answer a few ques ons: We increased our enrollment
to slightly over 200 students due to many factors. Families followed our website and social media and were so
impressed with our eLearning curriculum that they enrolled at our school. As we begin this unique school year, we do
have bus service, plus our before/a er school care is available. All co-curricular and a er school ac vi es are currently
suspended with the excep on of cross-country. All in person events and gatherings are currently suspended, too. For
those who prefer, we are offering remote learning by our own STV school teachers for trimester intervals.
We are blessed to have hired Alice Scardina as our new administra ve assistant. Mrs. Scardina has vast experience as a
school secretary, and comes to us from St. Cole e. Best of luck to Alex our former administra ve assistant, who le to
complete her degree! We have one new teacher at St. Thomas. Mr. Jason Wheeler is our 8th grade homeroom
teacher. He is teaching social studies, math, and religion. We are s ll looking for a part- me librarian.
On Wednesday, we had our first prayer service for all our students. Thank you, Mrs. Liquin, for including all the faculty
and staff in this prayer, which every classroom got to watch and pray along. All our students enjoyed mee ng new
friends, while prac cing our social distancing protocol.
Looking forward to an amazing year!

XXI NIEDZIELA ZWYKŁA – Wywiad Jezusa
Jezus niczym wytrawny dziennikarz przeprowadza wywiad wśród swoich uczniów. Zaczyna od ogólnego pytania: ‘Co mówią ludzie? Kim według nich jest Syn
Człowieczy?’. I tu pada wiele odpowiedzi. Kiedy jednak Jezus pyta bezpośrednio: ‘A według was, kim jestem?’, zapada milczenie. Odzywa się tylko Piotr, który
rozpoznał sekret Jezusa nie dzięki własnym zdolnościom, lecz dzięki łasce od Boga. Gdyby dziś Jezus nas zapytał: ‘Co mówią o Mnie twoi sąsiedzi, znajomi, rodzi-
na?’, mielibyśmy wiele do opowiadania. A jaka byłaby moja odpowiedź, gdyby zapytał: ‘A kim jestem dla ciebie?’
