Dear Parishioners,
Dear Parishioners,
I write this note with a very grateful heart
as we end the 2010-2011 academic year. Our
school community has been blessed by you in so
many ways during this past year. I am grateful
to you for sharing your treasure with your
financial support of our school. Student tuition
only covers part of the operating costs of our
school so your generosity and trust help sustain
our school. Some of you came forward to offer
to pay tuition for students. All of you are
making a commitment to the education of the
young people in this parish. A commitment that
should reap great rewards for this parish in the
future. Those students educated in our school
hopefully will become supporters of Catholic
education just as you are. You are the role
models that make a difference in their lives.
6:30 AM Daily Mass
The 6:30 AM daily Mass will be held this
week then discontinued for the summer.
Thank you to so many of you who share
your talent with our school especially our helpers
during the different liturgical seasons. You come
to make our church beautiful for the celebration
of Eucharist. You help us to nail our wood chips
onto the cross. In the summer, you help with
repairs in our school. Outside you keep our
grounds beautiful. All these deeds are noticed by
our students.
Hopefully your good example will find a
place in their hearts to do the same some day.
You happily share your time with us. You come
to our special liturgies and celebrate with us.
You help with fundraising—the carnival, the
Monte Carlo Night, Race for Education, etc.
How could our school community not be
thankful to this wonderful parish community!
We pray for you daily. Please keep us in your
prayers. May your summer be a relaxing one
knowing you have helped to make this year an
enriching one for 408 students and 25 faculty
and staff members.
God bless you,
Mrs. Geraldine Murphy
Principal
Summer Hours – Parish Center
Please note that beginning Monday and
throughout the month of July, the Parish Center
will close at 7:00 PM Monday thru Thursday
and at 4:30 PM on Friday.
4th of July
As we observe and celebrate the signing of
our Declaration of Independence, which established
us as a nation, let us pray for our country. May we
use our blessings and the opportunities which our
freedom provides to foster our growth and
development in accord with God’s law.
May we learn to value peace and know that it
is our responsibility to teach our children how to use
the blessings of freedom to be peaceful. So much in
the world, in the news, and in the movies is teaching
our children otherwise.
“Unless we teach our children peace,
someone else will teach them violence.”
Joan Kroc – Peace Activist
Parish Center Closing & No Exposition
The Parish Center will be closed and there will not be
Exposition on Monday, July 4th.
Campaign for Human Development
2nd Collection – Next weekend
Presently in our country, thirty-seven million
American people live in poverty. Since 1970, the
Catholic Campaign for Human Development has
worked in our name to sow seeds that help
individuals and communities out of poverty, not only
for a day, but for a lifetime. The Catholic Campaign
funds projects in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and
throughout the United States to support low-income
people as they work together to solve community
problems, increase educational opportunities, and
create jobs.
The Catholic Campaign for Human
Development relies on an annual parish collection to
fund these anti-poverty programs. This collection
will be next weekend (July 9/10).
God bless you,
Father Dunleavy

Saint Anselm All Star
Chris Mooney
Raised in St. Anselm Parish, today Chris, his
wife, Lia, and their son, Danny, reside in St. Bridget
Parish in Richmond, Virginia. Chris remembers fondly
that he was a member of the student council in Grade 8.
Chris played basketball here in 7th & 8th grades, while
demonstrating great work ethics assisting with
maintenance. Following graduation in 1986, he attended
Archbishop Ryan and Princeton University and played
basketball at both schools.
Chris remembers his 2nd grade teacher, Sister
Marie Christine, as an incredibly supportive and patient
person. Father Deeney administered his first holy
communion. Miss Tammaro in 6th grade was such a
genuine person. His 8th grade teacher was Miss Ernst
who was very thorough and prepared him well for high
school. Mr. Jessie Dugan was his 7th and 8th grade
basketball coach.
Currently, Chris is the head coach of the Spiders
of Richmond. When hired, Richmond athletic director
said, “Mooney would attract student-athletes who would
make the community proud, while sustaining
Richmond's place among the Atlantic 10 elite." Chris
proved him right. He has attracted student-athletes who
make the community proud. The Spiders are not only
among the Atlantic 10's elite, but among the nation's
elite with back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances
and a Sweet 16 appearance in 2011.
Chris and the Spiders were named to Richmond
Style Weekly's 2010 Top 40 Under 40 for their
community involvement with various charities including
working with the homeless, Special Olympics, raising
money for the Arthritis Foundation, and adopting a 14year-old brain tumor survivor, Nathan Mwenda, through
the Friend's of Jaclyn Foundation.
Life was not always easy for Chris; he has
worked hard to attain the success he has accomplished.
His mother died when he was 13 years old. According
to his wife, Lia, this was the defining event of his life;
everything he does is in honor of his mother.
To Chris, St. Anselm is home. He and his
siblings also attended school at St. Anselm and went to
church every Sunday and holy day. He states St.
Anselm was a great community of family and friends
who were extremely caring and supportive of children.
He feels incredibly lucky to have been a part of the
community of St. Anselm.
Chris, we too feel that you have done us proud
and thank you for being a beacon for young men and
women. God bless you!
Wife – Lia
Son – Danny
Parents – John and Mary Alice (dec.)

How to dispose of the American Flag properly!
The Flag of the United States represents the men and
women who built America. We know that it is not
just red, white, and blue cloth. As the symbol of
America, it stands for the past, present, and future of
our country. It represents our people, our land, and
our many ways of life. We show respect for the flag
and the ideals it represents by handling and
displaying it correctly. And, when the time comes to
retire (dispose) our flag, it too needs to be handled
with respect. If you have an American Flag that
needs to be properly retired, place it in the container
at the main entrance of our church, or give it to
Deacon Whartenby, and our Boy Scouts will
respectfully dispose of it.
