Peace,

Peace Garden

Each year Paul and Susan Kelley generously donate the beauti-ful flowers for the planters as well as for the Peace Garden named in honor of their beloved daughter Gretchen. Gretchen was a young woman who loved to promote Peace. Her memory lives on through the kindness of her parents who share God’s beauty with us in the summer months with the flower that adorn our parish (St. Catherine) grounds, offering us some peace. May Gretchen be granted eternal life.

Visits to the Sick

Fr. Richard was able to visit Frank Centrellea, Sr. who is reha-bilitating at Sancta Maria in Cambridge. Fr. Richard brought him Communion and administered the Sacrament of the Sick for Frank’s healing. Please keep Frank as well as Pat & Frank, his son, in your prayers. Last week I visited Gary Ober who is in rehabilitation at Spaulding in Charlestown. Gary received communion with his mother, Georgina and his sister Linda. Gary is recovering. Please keep Gary and his family in your prayers. George Sweet is recovering. He was scheduled to leave the Woburn Nursing Center, Rehabilitation Division this past Mon-day. Carol, his wife, was with him when we visited. George is gaining more strength each day. Please keep them in your prayers too.

THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 1, 2018

The Wilderness

The Hebrew people were protected by God, calling them out

into the wilderness for 40 years, escaping the wrath of Pharaoh.

The Hebrews discovered their special relationship in God’s

love during their time in the wilderness.

After John the Baptist baptized Jesus, Jesus went to the desert

for 40 days and 40 nights to listen to God and to deal with

temptations from Satan. Of course, Jesus was victorious over

Satan.

In life we are often in the wilderness. For example, we are in

the wilderness of grief when we lose someone we love; we are

in the wilderness of fear when the doctor says that this looks

serious; we are in the wilderness of outrage when someone we

have trusted betrays us. Remembering that our baptism places

us in a special relationship with Jesus while cultivating our

communal and personal prayer lives, we will discover God’s

love in the wilderness life the Hebrews and especially as Jesus

did. The wilderness draws us into God’s love when we remain

mindful of our Baptism.

May God bless you and may we take some time to reflect upon

the power and meaning of our Baptism.

Peace,

Fr. Brian

Saint Vincent DePaul Society

Thank you for your continued generosity to St Vincent DePaul

with your monetary donations and collection of food staples.

Many people in our parishes benefit on account of your thought-

ful giving. Please remember that you may bring food staples to

the parish on the third Sunday of each month. Of course, you

may bring goods anytime during the month. May God bless

you!

Holy Mother of the Good Shepherd, turn your motherly care to

our Archdiocese of Boston. Intercede for us to the Lord of the

Harvest to send more laborers to the harvest. Inspire vocations

in our time. Let the word of your Son be made flesh anew in the

lives of persons anxious to proclaim the Good News of everlast-

ing life. Draw them near to the heart of your Son so that they

can understand the beauty and joy that awaits them when the

Lord Jesus calls them to be His witness.

Amen

Faith Formation Update:

From the time that I started working in this collabora-

tive I had this outlook that I want to share with all of you. One

of my loves in the Church is the Liturgy, the Mass. For me it is

such a close and personal encounter with Jesus Christ because it

is Jesus Christ. It isn’t some symbol or representation of Jesus;

it is Jesus.

Past of the mission of Church is dictated to us by Jesus

in Matthew’s Gospel in chapter 28 verse 19 to go out and make

disciples of all nations. This evangelistic nature of our faith is

to share with others what it is that we have received from oth-

ers. This sharing helps to build up our community and

strengthen our church. For all of us we need to look deep with

in ourselves and ask, am I doing as Jesus asked me to do?

One way that I propose for us to grow as a community

and to go deeper in our faith and likewise grow in our relation-

ships with each other as a community is to learn together. None

of us are experts in everything and we could all stand to learn

something from one another. I recently ran across an advertise-

ment online for Bishop Robert Barron’s The Mass video series.

I am going to take a look at it over the weekend and I hope to

be able to share it with all of you. If you think you would be

interested in learning more about the Mass and what is going on

and why it is that we all participate in the Catholic aerobics of

sit, kneel, stand, repeat… or to know how transubstantiation

takes place or even what transubstantiation is or perhaps what

the role of the Communion of the Saints plays in Mass, please

send me an email. I would love to hear from you and learn with

you. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a wonderful

Independence Day!

God bless,

Adam

Collaborative Vocation Team

The Collaborative Vocation Team met on Monday, June 25,

2018. The team is composed of parishioners from all three par-

ishes. At this meeting our discussions focused on the initiatives

we are undertaking this summer. These initiatives are: a petition

for vocations in the Prayer of the Faithful each weekend, a cal-

endar with seminarians listed for each day of the month (these

are available at tables near the entries of the churches), at each

weekday Mass a seminarian will be prayed for by the priest and

the congregation.

Also discussed at this meeting were programs to be imple-

mented in late September. We will provide more information on

these in the future bulletins.

The team is working hard to foster a culture of vocations in the

Collaborative. It is important to encourage each person to fol-

low the vocation God is calling them to.

We are interested in welcoming new members to the Vocation

Team. Please contact Fr. Dave if you are interested in joining.

Peace in Christ,

Fr. Dave
