September
September turns toward autumn with Our Lady's birthday, the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, and Michaelmas — the feast of the three archangels — at the month's close.
September’s great days are Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Sep 8), Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Sep 14), and Matthew Apostle (Sep 21).

Keeping September at home
Our Lady’s birthday on the 8th is a gentle family feast — a small cake for Mary is a custom children love. A week later, the Exaltation of the Holy Cross turns the heart to the saving wood of the Cross.
Michaelmas, the feast of the archangels, closes the month and once marked the turn of the season — a fitting day to ask the protection of St. Michael over the home as autumn begins.
