MORE NEWS FROM AROUND THE DIOCESE & COMMUNITY The Cathedral of Saint Peter is in need of our help. The weekend of August 18 & 19, a special collection for the maintenance and preservation of the Cathedral of Saint Peter will be taken up in all parishes in our diocese. Please be as generous as you can. For more information about the Cathedral, please visit the Cathedral’s website at www.cathedralofstpeter.com. For a video tour of the Cathedral, and a tour of the Cathedral’s 100 year-old pipe organ, visit the diocesan website at www.cdow.org/cathedral. Together, we can help assure that our Cathedral will remain a place of beauty and prayer during our Diocese’s 150th anniversary year and for generations to come. The Diocese of Wilmington’s new website makes it easier to find a church or school and features news headlines from The Dialog, quick links, a video feature, and more. Check it out today at www.cdow.org. Before you head to the beach, check out the Vacation Mass Guide. The Diocese of Wilmington is blessed to have some of the best, most beautiful places for family vacations within its borders. Find family fun at one of the exciting Delaware or Maryland Atlantic beach resort areas, or relax with a trip to one of the historic and quaint Chesapeake Bay communities on the Maryland Eastern Shore. Wherever you go, you can find a warm, welcoming Catholic parish. For Mass times check out the Vacation Mass Guide at www.cdow.org/VMG. Order your Sesquicentennial Custom Rosary before they are gone. A custom-designed, limited-edition, dark red and gold rosary is now available to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington. The rosaries, made in Italy by the Ghirelli Company, were blessed at the Vatican by Pope Francis on June 6, 2018 during His Holiness’ Weekly Audience in Saint Peter’s Square. The Official Custom Rosary of the Diocese of Wilmington’s 150th Anniversary features a crucifix that is designed after the beautiful crucifix in the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Wilmington. The back of the crucifix is engraved with the words, “Catholic Diocese of Wilmington 150th Anniversary 1868-2018.” The front of the rosary’s centerpiece holds an image of the Blessed Mother from the famous Charles Parks Our Lady of Queen of Peace statue located on the grounds of Holy Spirit Church in New Castle, Delaware. On the centerpiece’s reverse, is an image of Saint Francis de Sales, the Patron Saint of the Diocese of Wilmington. In place of the traditional “Our Father” beads, the rosary has a medal crest of the Diocese of Wilmington, with a map of Delaware and Maryland’s Eastern Shore on the back, indicating the twelve counties that comprise the Diocese. All beads are 8 mm dark red Bohemian glass, while the chain and custom features are made of antique gold finish medal. The rosary comes in a commemorative color pouch, and is available for a suggested $30.00 donation each, plus shipping and handling. Detailed photographs of the rosary, and an order form are available online at www.cdow.org/150th. 12TH ANNUAL NUN RUN The Little Sisters of the Poor invite you to run or walk the 12th Annual Nun Run 5k.
