PIME (Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions.

PIME has been serving the poor for over 150 years. We

will have two members of the Institute joining us this

weekend to present the mission appeal on behalf of PIME.

The PIME Missionaries, are Catholic Priests and Brothers

who dedicate themselves to be lifelong messengers of the

Gospel to those who have not yet heard the Word of God.

Just as it was in those first days in the country, their mis-

sion remains the same: to spread news of the silent strug-

gles of our brothers and sisters in the missions and to con-

nect those whose spirits burn with the need to help.

Father George Berendt and Father Bruno Piccolo will be

joining us this weekend. Please make them feel welcome

and please be as generous as you can.

RCIA

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is a process through

which adults, after hearing the mystery of Christ pro-

claimed, consciously and freely seek the living God. By

God’s help, they will be strengthened spiritually during

their preparation and will receive the sacraments fruitfully.

In other words, RCIA is the Catholic way to bring together

adults who are curious about faith. RCIA is for people who

were never baptized or were baptized in another faith or

were baptized Catholic, but never received the sacraments

of Eucharist or Confirmation. If you are interested in the

Catholic faith or have a friend or relative who may be in-

terested, please call Fr. Charles at (617) 364-9501.

Dear Parishioners,

Last Monday evening staff from the Archdiocese of Boston met with our Pastoral Council, Finance

Council and the Blue Hills Collaborative Staff discussing the appointment of a new pastor to our col-

laborative.

This meeting was an opportunity for the councils/staff to share their insight into the needs of our par-

ishes. All council members were invited to share their thoughts concerning our parishes and the ap-

pointment of a new pastor.

The ministry of Father Ron was highlighted by many individuals for his welcoming attitude his win-

ning personality, his ability to connect with all parishioners, thoughtful homilies and bringing a new

spirit of life to the parishes.

A number of council members reflected upon the activities that have united the collaborative over

these past several years. A number of council members expressed their belief that many activities

have united our three parishes in the collaborative effectively and would not want to change the ar-

rangement. Concerns were expressed for our Haitian Community, our liturgical celebrations, the

decline in vocations, welcoming spirit in our parishes, engaging parishioners in the life of our parish-

es, homilies, our spirituality and a number of other concerns. All shared information will be dis-

cussed at the Personnel Board meetings in Braintree.

Father Robert Blaney, Secretary for Ministerial Personnel fielded questions from council members

and explained the process Cardinal Sean uses in order to appoint pastors to parishes.

The Clergy Personnel Board in the coming weeks will make a recommendation to Cardinal Sean

concerning the appointment of a candidate to be pastor of the Blue Hills Collaborative. Council

members were encouraged to be creative and welcoming to the new pastor when he arrives.

Council members and parishioners were encouraged to pray during this time of transition that the

Holy Spirit will guide our churches and our Cardinal Sean as we await the appointment of a new

pastor.

Blessings always,

Fr Michael

Feeling the Call of a Religious Vocation?

A part of the Collaborative Pastoral Plan includes encour-

aging all young people, male and female, to discern how

God is calling them. Are you being invited to share the

mission of Jesus as a priest, deacon or in the consecrated

life? The Lord calls each of us to live a life of holiness, a

life of friendship with God. It is a call that we

acknowledge, or others acknowledge for us, at Baptism, a

call we respond to as we follow the Commandments and

the precepts of the Church. It is the Universal Call to Ho-

liness. For more information please contact Father Bova

Conti or Father Charles at 857-342-9500.

tiser in our bulletin) will be here on September

TEEN MASS!

FOR TEENS, BY TEENS

ALL ARE WELCOME:

We are hoping to establish a Teen Mass once a

month. It will be planned by the parish Teens, they will

decide on the music, serve as Altar servers, Collectors,

Lectors, and Eucharistic Ministers. We hope to bring in

priests who are involved with parish youth. If you are 13

or older and would like to take part in the planning, please

contact either Alyssa Sarkis, Matt O’Neil, Sheila Farley or

Anna Cote.

The first Mass is scheduled for October and we

need to start now. Please watch for more details about the

Teen Mass.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! If you are in the 4th grade

or older we can use your help. Many of the current altar

servers are no longer available.

Many Masses do not have altar

servers to help our priests or the

same people are serving every

week. If you could give us just one

hour twice a month it would be a

great help. If you can only serve

once a month we appreciate your

stepping forward. If you would like more information or

think you might like to learn more please contact Anna

Cote, Director of Ministries at

[email protected] or call 857-342-9500.

Children's Liturgy of the Word resumes this fall at

the 9:00 am Mass at Most Precious Blood (beginning

Oct 6) and at the 10:30 Mass at St. Pius (beginning Sep

22). The children gather with their families in church for

the introductory rites of the Mass, then after the opening

hymn and prayer, children and the leaders are called for-

ward for a blessing. The children and leaders go downstairs

to the church hall to hear the readings of the day from

the Children's Lectionary, which uses words more easily

understood by young children. The Gospel is explored

through discussion, along with an activity or craft. The

children will return to their fami-

lies following the Profession of

Faith and Prayers of the Faithful.

Children of any age who wish to

participate are encouraged to come

forward when they are called.
