WOMEN’S GROUP Hello women of our Watertown Collaborative. Our January topic of finding your Saint companion for the year was amazing and so beautifully spirited. THANK YOU to everyone who brought wealth of information and interest to us all. February's meetings will focus on the book gifted to the parishes at Christmas, " THE BIGGEST LIE IN THE HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY" by Matthew Kelly. On February 19 (snow date from 2/12), we will discuss chapters 1 thru 8 and on February 26th chapters 9-15. I'm sure it will be enlightening to listen to our impressions of this book. Blessings! Mary Berkeley [email protected]. We welcome all to join us from 6:30pm—8:00 at Sacred Heart.
PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY We invite anyone who likes to crochet or knit to join us. Yarn, needles, and instructions are available. We create shawls, lap robes etc. which are then blessed and given to those in need of their warmth, comfort, and support. We meet at Saint Patrick Parish, 26R Chestnut Street. Our next meeting is Wednesday, February 27 at 10:00AM. If you know someone who could use one, please contact Fran at 617-924-1919 or Peggy at 617-924-8229.
OFFICE CLOSED The Collaborative Office will be closed Monday, February 18 in observance of Presidents’ Day. We will reopen on Tuesday, February 19.
On Sunday, February 10, our Grade 3 students
worked on creating Valentines Day Goodie Bags for
some of the patients at Children’s Hospital in Boston.
Thank you to all the families that were so generous in
their contributions and thank you to Erin, Julia’s
Mom, for helping the students today. The student’s did a great job getting materials all set
up on the tables, creating Valentine’s Day cards,
assembling goodie bags and finally taking a break to
enjoy some hot chocolate and chocolate covered
marshmallows. We had a lot of leftover materials and
many students wanted to bring home a little something
for someone special in their lives. It was very
spontaneous and it was fantastic to experience the
students asking to bring something home for a little
brother, a sister, a mom, a dad, grandparents or a
family friend who was not feeling well.
Mrs. Ramshaw and Mrs. Brouillard’s 4th Grade Class hosted
the 10:00 Mass at Saint Patrick on Sunday, February 10th.
We thank their parents for doing a wonderful job hosting the
coffee hour following the Mass.

CARDINAL SEAN O’MALLEY’S STATEMENT ON NEW YORK GOVERNOR CUOMO’S
FEBRUARY 6TH OPINION PIECE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES
"I was very disappointed to read the opinion piece by Governor Cuomo of New York published in Wednesday’s New York Times regarding the law recently enacted in that state. I have penned a few thoughts on the issue, which I would like to share with you here: This week, the New York Times published an editorial by the Governor of New York who makes the outrageous claim that pro-life Catholics are trying to impose our religion on the country. Opposition to abortion is not a “Catholic issue.” We have no right to make Friday abstinence or the reception of Ashes on Ash Wednesday a legal obligation for all citizens. Abortion, like racism, anti-Semitism, and human trafficking are violations of human rights. Innocent human life should be protected by civil laws. Dr. Martin Luther King was certainly motivated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but he never saw racism as a “Baptist issue.” And people have not claimed that he was trying to impose the Baptist religion on the country. By the same token, pro-life Catholics can be deeply motivated by our desire to be faithful members of the Church, but we do not see abortion as a “Catholic issue.” It is a matter of defending innocent human life, and that is the obligation of all governments and all people whatever their religious affiliation might be or not be. The move afoot to allow young girls to have an abortion without parental consent and justifying late-term abortion is tragic. The eroding of the sacredness of human life is a slippery slope that begins with abortion, moves to euthanasia and then the elimination of the weak, feeble, and the “undesirable” whose lives are not as important and are inconvenient. Cheapening human life is to devaluate all life. When the abortion debate began, the pro-abortion advocates said it was impossible to know when human life begins. That has become a moot question. While science makes viability possible sooner and sooner in the pregnancy, abortion advocates want to keep moving the goalpost in the other direction. It no longer matters when human life begins. The Pro-Life movement is the largest grassroots human rights movement in the U.S. We must also continue to expand our effort to help women to be able to choose life in the midst of economic and social pressures to take the life of their child. Indeed, I wish to be clear that I recognize the difficult situations women often face in pregnancy. To stand for unborn life morally is not to stand against women in these tragic circumstances. Both the woman and the child deserve our support. Being at the March for Life is so reassuring. Young people, often the least religious segment of the population, are nevertheless the more pro-life generation. Despite the ugliness of the present effort of some to promote abortion, hope for the future is bright because more and more young people realize that abortion is not a religious issue. It is a matter of public morality and the defense of human rights. The day is coming when the abortion movement will find itself on the wrong side of history as the new generation embraces the protection of life."
