COLLABORATIVE LENTEN NEWS

COMING THIS SATURDAY APRIL 4: MINISTRY OF HOLY COMMUNION MINI RETREAT

If you are a serving Eucharistic Minister in the Collaborative or if you are interested in this ministry you are warmly invited to join in this

opportunity for enrichment and prayer. Thursday, April 4 at 7:00pm in St. John Church, followed by wine and cheese in Powers Hall.

WOMEN DEACONS: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE - NEW DATES!

We are postponing the discussion of Women Deacons: Past, Present and Future for just one week in order to accommodate numerous conflicts

occurring in the collaborative. The final two sessions are now scheduled for: Monday April 8 and Monday April 15 in Powers Hall. We look

forward to continuing this robust and Spirit-led conversation!

Please see our THIS WEEK IN LENT calendar below, and visit our Lent 2019 website for a complete listing and more details on these and other

programs, events, and liturgies: www.sjspwellesley.org/Lent-2019

OUR COLLABORATIVE LENTEN GIFT

SPECIAL SECOND COLLECTION APRIL 6-7

Over the past few weeks, we've introduced you to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and to

the recently formed Conference established by parishioners from St. John and St. Paul

parishes. Our new Collaborative Service Commission has chosen the Conference as the

recipient of this year's Lenten Gift, providing a fitting opportunity for our two parishes to

come together during this Lenten season to help launch the conference with a sound

financial base.

Many of us might assume that there would not be a significant need for personal or

financial assistance in the affluent communities of Wellesley and the part of Newton that

make up the Collaborative. This is most emphatically not the case. You might be surprised

and disturbed by the struggles that many of our neighbors face in paying for utilities, rent,

medicine - even for food for themselves and their children. The Society offers tangible

assistance to those in need on a person-to-person basis, and it is this personalized

involvement that makes the work of the Society unique. When assistance is requested, two

members of the Society, called "Vincentians", make a home visit. Home visits allow

Vincentians to provide emotional and spiritual support to our neighbors in need, as well as

an opportunity to better understand their individual circumstances, struggles, and needs. After the visit, the case is presented to the

Conference so a determination can be made as to the assistance provided, which can include both monetary and in-kind support (food,

furniture, etc. ) The high degree of confidentiality that SVdP strictly observes makes it impossible to give more specific examples of the types of

requests our conference has received so far.

The Lenten Gift collection will be taken up at all Masses in both parishes on the weekend of April 6-7. Gifts may also be made online by visiting

the parish websites. The three Lenten disciplines recommended by the Church are prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. This is our opportunity as a

Collaborative to show Christ-like love for our neighbors in distress, and for each of us to share in easing the suffering and to answer Lent's

clarion call to love extravagantly. We ask that you be as generous as your means will allow. Thank you.

THIS WEEK IN LENT:THIS WEEK IN LENT:THIS WEEK IN LENT:THIS WEEK IN LENT: A calendar to help you plan a great Lenten week - details of all events to be found on the websites.

"There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land."

Deuteronomy 15:11

Next weekend (4/6 - 4/7) will be the first weekend of April. As usual the Wellesley Food Pantry has requested that our parish provide canned fruit and laundry detergent. Do you remember Jesus's parable about the rich man and the beggar Lazarus? Jesus did not portray the rich man as evil. He was described as indifferent and not willing to help the starving Lazarus. The rich man's sin was that of omission. The poor are here for us to show compassion and generosity. We need them as much as they need us. Our consistent monthly participation is greatly appreciated by those who depend on the Wellesley Food Pantry. Your donations may be left in the bins at the front entrance of the church.
