When the parishes of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Monica-St. Augustine were combined in the late winter, earlier this year, we stated that the new St. Monica Parish would incorporate some of the beautiful art and furnishings of the old St. Vincent’s parish. St. Monica’s is now Beginning to reflect this shared heritage, with so much of the artistic beauty of both parishes on display. May Saints Monica, St.

The photos on this page show old and young alike helping to feed people. Bringing meals to homebound seniors, like the St. Peter Lithuanian Confirmation stu-dents did, or providing more than 310 families with Thanksgiving groceries, like the many helping hands at St. Monica’s Kitchen did all the ingredients to have a festive meal wit their immediate families.

Thanks go out this week to so many people, including the folks from the Carpenters Union, the Knights of Columbus, and the men and women of the Boston Police Department, Area C-6. No doubt there are other unsung heroes (Mark O’Leary comes to mind) who helped make a tremen-dous impact in the lives of struggling families. Please forgive us for failing to mention you and many others contributed to this week’s efforts (Gwin, Cheryl, Judie, Ann, Fitzy, Colin, Paul, Susan, Dcn. Paul, Jean and Ed Shifflett....

Primer Domingo de Adviento Hoy comienza el tiempo litúrgico de Adviento. Durante las próximas cuatro semanas nos vamos a preparar para celebrar la Natividad de Jesús, el misterio de la Encarnación, el comienzo de nuestra salvación. El Adviento es un tiempo que se nos ha dado para recordar que Dios perman-ece fiel a su promesa. Dios prometió al pueblo de Israel enviar al Mesías, el “ungido”, quien con-ducirá a Israel ya todas las naciones de regreso a su padre y creador. Jesús es el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios que vino a salvarnos de la esclavitud del pe-cado. Dios nunca abandonará a sus hijos, pero tiene un buen plan para ellos. El Adviento y la Navidad de este año serán diferentes a los que estamos acostumbrados, pero debemos re-cordar que Dios continuará guiándonos, protegiéndonos y cuidándonos: no permitirá que el pecado, el mal o cualquier enfermedad prev-alezcan. Todos estamos un poco preocupados y asusta-dos pero durante las próximas cuatro semanas tendremos la oportunidad de reavivar el deseo de conocer más íntimamente a nuestro Salvador: Él es la luz que viene al mundo para esparcir las tinieblas del mal, el pecado y el miedo. . Co-mencemos este tiempo de Adviento con confi-anza y alegría. Esperamos poder tener liturgias durante el Ad-viento y la Navidad. El virus es grave. Y queremos mantener a las personas a salvo. Continuaremos practicando todas las precauciones y haciendo la santa voluntad de Dios. ¡Dios los bendiga a to-dos!
