Congratulations to Miriam Boronczyk
Congratulations are owed to Miriam Boronczyk who is the 2019 recipient of the Father Daniel Gilmartin Scholarship for Academic Excellence. Miriam is a recent graduate of the Trivium School and is off to study at Dallas University in Texas. Let’s see if she comes back with a drawl!
Thanks to the Knights of Columbus Try as he could, Fr. Mullen could not fix the broken pole at the head of the parking lot stairs! We had to get professionals to do it! A light in the parking lot had also to be fixed and while we were at it we replaced all the lights in the parking areas with LED bulbs are supposed to last for many years. The whole project cost $2,530. The Bellingham Council of the Knights of Columbus paid the bill for us. We give our heartfelt thanks!
Thanks is also due to our fellow parishioner Michael Sylvester for the work he did on part of the project.

Saint Brendan Parish 384 Hartford Avenue, Bellingham, Massachusetts
Visit Our Book Rack! At our front side entrance we have our parish book rack where all sorts of book (and videos) are available. There are a number of new items there. This is in addition to the Lighthouse Media display at the back side entrance. The prices are very reasonable.
Are You New to St. Brendan’s? If you are new to St. Brendan’s then Fr. Mullen and Deacon Ghioni would like to meet you. Please introduce yourself to them after Mass. Also, parish registration forms can be found on the table outside the parish offices in the parish hall.
Holy Hour for the Purification of the Church
Please join us on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 P.M. for a HOLY HOUR for the purification of the Church. Sins against chastity and the abuse of power have put the Church into a grave darkness. The best weapon we have against this evil is prayer, especially prayer before the HOLY EUCHARIST and the intersession of our Lady. Please join us as we pray the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet and more. The Church is in dire need of healing, St Michael pray for us and protect us.
Fall Fair Needs Even though our Fall Fair is in November, we need to start some preparations for it now in the Spring! One of our greatest needs is for those who will seek out prizes for our Big Raffle. We need a few people who will be willing to go to area businesses within the next couple of months and ask for donations. The task involves some hours of legwork, but it is very important for the success of our Fall Fair. We already have three volunteers for this job. One more helper would make everyone’s job a bit easier. If you are willing to help out in this then please contact Fr. Mullen.
Old Parish Pictures Wanted
Our parish 75th Anniversary Committee is looking for old pictures depicting parish life in the 1940s and 1950s (and even older). If you have such photos could we borrow them? Please contact the parish office or see Fr. Mullen.
The Good Shepherd Program is an approach to the religious formation of children. It is rooted in the Bible, the Liturgy of the Church and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Children ages 2.9 – 6 years are eligible. The program will begin November 5th and is taught by the Sisters, The Franciscan Handmaids of the Immaculate, on Tuesday mornings in the Parish Hall from 10 AM until 12 Noon. Registration fee is $40.00 per child. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, approved by St. John Paul II, is growing and is being acclaimed throughout the world because its philosophy is that even very young children have a religious life. God is present to them in their deepest being and they are able to develop an intimate relationship with Jesus. Registrations are available through the Parish Office or on the lamp table outside the Parish Office. For more information you may go to the national website: [email protected] or contact Sr. Elizabeth at 508-966-2362 or [email protected] .

Catholic Doctrine Class Each year Fr. Mullen conducts a Catholic Doctrine Class that is appropriate for any adult seeking Baptism, Confirmation, or joining the Church as an adult who has already been baptized in some Christian denomination. It is also appropriate for anyone who wants to learn more about the Catholic faith. The class is presented in a seminar style and the text used is the Catechism of the Catholic Church. We have classes on Thursday nights at 7:00 P.M. This class will begin in mid September. If you have any questions then please contact Fr. Mullen. All are welcome.
Low Gluten Hosts
Many people have asked Fr. Mullen for the low gluten hosts, and so he needs an accurate list of those requests. If you need to receive the low gluten host then please call the parish office so as to get your name on the list. Otherwise, Fr. Mullen may forget!
Dr. Bergsma’s Audio Materials Available on Loan
Fr. Mullen has the following audio materials of Dr. Bergsma’s publications which you can borrow: “But Did It Really Happen?”, The historical reliability of the Bible, and “Are Priests Biblical?”, A study of Priesthood in the Old and New Testaments.; Contact Fr. Mullen if you would like to borrow any of these CD sets.
Vocations Cross One visible way to unite the entire community in praying for priests and for an increase in vocations is to encourage all parishioners to participate in “The Vocation Cross.” Every two weeks a different person will take the Vocation Cross home, placing it in a place of honor. The participants will pray for two weeks for an increase and perseverance of vocations. They will return the Cross in two weeks. Parishioners, families or single people, can confirm their participation by recording their name and telephone number on the sign-up sheet located at the doors of the Church. All are invited to participate in the program. The hope is that this experience will encourage everyone to take seriously our vocation as a member of the Body of Christ and to pray for the gift of all vocations, especially to the priesthood and religious life. Knowing the Spirit is calling men and women to these roles of service, may our prayer help inspire young men and women to be attentive to the movement of the Spirit within them and to step forward in faith with generous hearts. Contact Palma Kaneda for more information @ 774-233-0661 or [email protected] .
