COMING EVENTS

With a new year come new initiatives that I want to bring to your attention as graces and blessings from the Lord. YEAR OF THE EUCHARIST. Cardinal Sean O'Malley has designated a period beginning in Ho-ly Week, 2020 through to Corpus Christ Sunday, 2021, to be known as the Year of the Eucharist. I will be writing to you much more about this in the coming months. The Cardinal wrote: "It is my hope and prayer that through this spiritual initia-tive we can invite and encourage our brothers and sisters to find the consolation of the Lord through participation in the celebration of the Eucharist and in times of prayer before the Blessed Sacra-ment." YEAR OF RECONSTRUCTION. As you have seen if you have been to Saint John over the past month, work has begun in our renovation / restora-tion project. Some painting of the sanctuary was done before Christmas and more recently the old altar in the sanctuary has been taken down to make room for two new structures: the reconstruction of the old altar as our main altar and eventually a new reredos or wall unit behind the altar. Please take time to look at the drawings in the foyer and ex-planation of the project. These can be found at the right rear of the main church at Saint John's and there are brochures and descriptions of the archi-tectural details. I thank all of you who have made gifts or pledges and encourage others to join us in this important work of repairs and improvements in preparation for our 150th anniversary next year. USE OF SAINT JOHN'S CHURCH will be re-stricted at times but we intend to continue to cele-brate our weekend Masses in the main church. We will at times accommodate some funerals at Saint Thomas Church if necessary. This week we may see scaffolding erected that will be used for paint-ing very high surfaces and the ceiling of the sanc-tuary and for the cleaning and restoring of the three murals. That actual work is expected to take about three weeks. Meanwhile some marble work will be done on the side altars, and the statues of the Blessed Virgin and Saint Joseph will be re-turned after being restored offsite.

New lighting will be installed in the sanctuary which will better illuminate everything in that ar-ea. I thank several volunteers who have done demolition work and also the cleaning that is need-ed. This saves us a lot and keeps our church in good shape. I apologize for any inconvenience and for the fact that at times the work being done, like life itself, is messy! PARISH RETREATS AND PARISH MISSION. Our Men's ACTS retreat is coming on March 12-15. Men, women and teens who have made an ACTS retreat have found it rejuvenates their faith life and generates new and deeper relationships with fellow Catholics. Applications are available in both of our churches and online.

Our annual Lenten Parish Retreat will be held at Saint Thomas this year on the evenings of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, March 22, 23 and 24. Our focus will be on the Eucharist to help us enter into this time of learning and deepening of celebration of and veneration of the Eucharist.

Our 10th graders in our confirmation program will be making their retreat on Saturday and Sunday, March 28 and 29. Pray for these young men and women that they will open themselves up to the power of the Holy Spirit. I recently reflected in my homily on the rise of anxiety and depression among teens as something that we need to address locally as well as nationally. FLU PRECAUTIONS

Due to the fact that according to the Center for Disease Control we are presently in a high risk ar-ea for the flu, Father Paul, Father Kevin and I agree that it is prudent for our communities to re-frain from some liturgical actions. So for the time being we are going to discontinue offering the Pre-cious Blood to the congregation at Mass. We also ask our fellow worshippers to avoid contact when giving the sign of peace. A simple wave would be an appropriate way to show our friendship in Christ. It goes without saying that we should al-ways be careful when we are ill to restrict our be-havior so that we don't spread colds or viruses. Thank you for being considerate of others!

God bless. Fr. John

PRÓXIMOS EVENTOS

Con un Año Nuevo vienen nuevas iniciativas que quiero traer a su atención como gracias y bendicio-nes del Señor.

AÑO DE LA EUCARISTÍA. El cardenal Sean O'Malley ha designado un período que comienza en la Semana Santa, 2020 hasta el Domingo del Corpus Christ, 2021, para ser conocido como el Año de la Eucaristía. Te escribiré mucho más sobre esto en los próximos meses. El Cardenal escribió: "Es mi espe-ranza y oración que a través de esta iniciativa espiri-tual podamos invitar y alentar a nuestros hermanos y hermanas a encontrar el consuelo del Señor mediante la participación en la celebración de la Eucaristía y en los momentos de oración ante el Santísimo Sacra-mento

AÑO DE RECONSTRUCCIÓN. Como ha visto si ha estado en San Juan Bautista durante el último mes, se ha comenzado a trabajar en nuestro proyecto de renovación / restauración. Algo de pintura del santuario se realizo antes de Navidad y, más recien-temente, el antiguo altar del santuario se ha desmon-tado para dejar espacio para dos nuevas estructuras: la reconstrucción del antiguo altar como nuestro altar principal y, finalmente, un nuevo retablo o unidad de pared detrás del altar. Tómese el tiempo para mirar los dibujos en el vestíbulo y la explicación del pro-yecto. Estos se pueden encontrar en la parte trasera a la derecha en la iglesia principal en San Juan Bautis-ta y hay folletos y descripciones de los detalles arqui-tectónicos. Les agradezco a todos los que hicieron obsequios o promesas y alentó a otros a unirse a no-sotros en este importante trabajo de reparaciones y mejoras en preparación para nuestro 150 aniversario el próximo año.

El Uso de la Iglesia de San Juan Bautista estará res-tringido a veces, pero tenemos la intención de conti-nuar celebrando nuestras misas de fin de semana en la iglesia principal. En ocasiones, realizaremos algu-nos funerales en la Iglesia de Santo Tomas si es ne-cesario. Esta semana podemos ver andamios erigidos que se usarán para pintar superficies muy altas y el techo del santuario y para la limpieza y restauración de los tres murales. Se espera que ese trabajo tome alrededor de tres semanas. Mientras tanto, se realiza-rán trabajos de mármol en los altares laterales y se devolverán las estatuas de la Santísima Virgen y San José. Después de ser restaurado en los lados latera-les.

Se instalará una nueva iluminación en el santuario que mejorará la iluminación de toda esa área. Agra-dezco a varios voluntarios que han realizado trabajos de demolición y también la limpieza que se necesita. Esto nos ahorra mucho y mantiene nuestra iglesia en buena forma. Pido disculpas por cualquier inconve-niente y por el hecho de que a veces el trabajo reali-zado, como la vida misma, es desordenado.

RETIROS PARROQUIALES Y MISIÓN PARRO-QUIAL. Nuestro retiro ACTS para hombres se reali-zará del 12 al 15 de marzo. Hombres, mujeres y ado-lescentes que han realizado un retiro de ACTS han encontrado que rejuvenece su vida de fe y genera nuevas y más profundas relaciones con sus compañe-ros católicos. Las aplicaciones están disponibles en nuestras dos iglesias y pronto en línea también

Nuestro retiro anual de la Parroquia en Cuaresma se llevará a cabo en Santo Tomas este año las noches del domingo, lunes y martes, 22 de marzo, 23 y 24. Nuestro enfoque estará en la Eucaristía para ayudar-nos a entrar en este tiempo de aprendizaje y profun-dización de la celebración y veneración de la Euca-ristía.

Nuestros estudiantes de décimo grado en nuestro programa de confirmación harán su retiro el sábado y domingo, 28 y 29 de marzo. Oren por estos hombres y mujeres jóvenes para que se abran al poder del Es-píritu Santo. Recientemente reflexioné en mi homilía sobre el aumento de la ansiedad y la depresión entre los adolescentes como algo que debemos abordar a nivel local y nacional.

PRECAUCIONES CONTRA LA GRIPE

Debido al hecho de que, según el Centro para el Con-trol de Enfermedades, actualmente estamos en un área de alto riesgo para la gripe, el Padre Paul, el Pa-dre Kevin y yo acordamos que es prudente que nues-tras comunidades se abstengan de algunas acciones litúrgicas. Entonces, por el momento, dejaremos de ofrecer la Preciosa Sangre a la congregación en la Misa. También les pedimos a nuestros compañeros fieles que eviten el contacto cuando den la señal de paz. Un simple gesto sería una forma apropiada de mostrar nuestra amistad en Cristo. No hace falta de-cir que siempre debemos tener cuidado cuando esta-mos enfermos de restringir nuestro comportamiento para así propagar resfriados o virus. ¡Gracias por ser considerado con los demás!

Dios los bendiga. Padre John

Próximos Eventos

Junto com um novo ano, vem novas iniciativas que quero chamar à sua atenção como graças e bênçãos do Senhor. ANO DA EUCARISTIA. O cardeal Sean O'Mal-ley designou um período que começa na Semana Santa em 2020 e vai até Corpus Christ em 2021, a ser conhecido como o Ano da Eucaristia. Escrever-ei muito mais sobre isso nos próximos meses. O Cardeal escreveu: "É minha esperança e oração que, por meio dessa iniciativa espiritual, possamos convidar e encorajar nossos irmãos e irmãs a en-contrar o consolo do Senhor através da partici-pação na celebração da Eucaristia e em momentos de oração diante do Santíssimo Sacramento". ANO DE RECONSTRUÇÃO. Como observou na Saint John no mês passado, começaram os tra-balhos em nosso projeto de reforma / restauração. A pintura do santuário foi feita antes do Natal e, mais recentemente, o antigo altar no santuário foi retirado para dar espaço a duas novas estruturas: a reconstrução do antigo altar como nosso altar prin-cipal e, eventualmente, uma nova parede atrás do altar. Reserve um tempo para olhar os desenhos no hall de entrada e a explicação do projeto. Eles po-dem ser encontrados na parte traseira direita da igreja principal na Saint John e existem folhetos e descrições dos detalhes arquitetônicos. Agradeço a todos que fizeram doações ou promessas e incen-tivo outras pessoas a se juntarem a nós neste im-portante trabalho de reparos e melhorias em preparação para o nosso 150º aniversário no próxi-mo ano. O USO DA IGREJA SAINT JOHN será re-stringido às vezes, mas pretendemos continuar a celebrar nossas missas de fim de semana na igreja principal. Às vezes, acomodaremos alguns funerais na Igreja de Saint Thomas, se necessário. Nesta semana, podemos ver os andaimes montados que serão usados para pintar superfícies muito altas e o teto do santuário e para a limpeza e restauração dos três murais. Espera-se que esse trabalho leve cerca de três semanas. Enquanto isso, alguns tra-balhos de mármore serão feitos nos altares laterais, e as estátuas da Virgem Maria e de São José serão devolvidas após serem restauradas fora do local.

Uma nova iluminação será instalada no santuário. Agradeço a vários voluntários que fizeram o tra-balho de demolição e também a limpeza necessária. Isso nos poupa bastante e mantém nossa igreja em boa forma. Peço desculpas por qualquer inconveniente e pelo fato de que, às vezes, o trabalho que está sendo feito, como a própria vida, é confuso! RETIROS E MISSÃO DA PARÓQUIA. O retiro ACTS dos homens acontecerá de 12 a 15 de mar-ço. Homens, mulheres e adolescentes que fizeram um retiro do ACTS descobriram que isso rejuve-nesce sua vida de fé e gera novos e mais profundos relacionamentos com colegas católicos. As in-scrições estão disponíveis em ambas as igrejas e também online. Nosso retiro anual da Quaresma será realizado na Saint Thomas este ano, nas noites de domingo, se-gunda e terça-feira, 22, 23 e 24 de março. Nossos alunos do 10º ano do programa de con-firmação farão seu retiro no sábado e domingo, 28 e 29 de março. Ore por esses rapazes e moças para que eles se abram ao poder do Espírito Santo. Re-centemente, refleti em minha homilia sobre o au-mento da ansiedade e da depressão entre os adoles-centes como algo que precisamos abordar local e nacionalmente. PRECAUÇÕES CONTRA A GRIPE De acordo com o Centro de Controle de Doenças, estamos em uma área de alto risco para a gripe. Assim, o padre Paul, o padre Kevin e eu con-cordamos que é prudente que nossas comunidades evitem algumas ações litúrgicas. Portanto, deix-aremos de oferecer o Sangue precioso de Cristo durante as missas. Também pedimos que evitem o contato fisico no momento da paz. Um simples aceno com as mãos seria uma maneira apropriada de mostrar nossa amizade em Cristo. Adicional-mente, devemos sempre ter cuidado quando esti-vermos gripados de forma a limitar nosso compor-tamento, para não espalhar resfriados ou vírus. Obrigado por ser atencioso com os outros!

Deus abençoe. Fr. John

conmemoramos el aniversario de la más atroz violación a los derechos humanos mediante la decisión de la Corte Suprema de Roe vs. Wade, la cual permitió la matanza de los niños en el vientre. Durante estos días, los cris-tianos también observan la Semana de Oración por la

Unidad Cristiana. Estos tres temas se entrelazan fuerte-mente. Nosotros rezamos para que los cristianos se unan en un servicio efectivo a todos los que están privados de sus derechos, y logren una Cultura de Vida, Justicia, y

Amor.

Leituras do Dia 1ª Leitura - Is 49,3.5-6

Salmo - Sl 39,2.4ab.7-8a.8b-9.10 (R.8a.9a) 2ª Leitura - 1Cor 1,1-3 Evangelho - Jo 1,29-34

O Amor de Deus marcou para sempre nossas vidas. Ele nos tirou das trevas e nos fez enxergar a luz da eternidade. Não há mais

razão para ficar triste ou viver amargurado se Deus está conosco e no meio de nós. Grande significado tem para nós, hoje, o dedo indicador de João: “ Eis o Cordeiro de Deus que tira o pecado do

mundo”. Cordeiro de Deus em latim é Agnus Dei, uma ex-pressão utilizada pela religião cristã para se referir a Jesus Cristo, identificado como o salvador da humanidade, ao ter sido sacrifi-cado em resgate pelo pecado original. Na arte e na simbologia icônica cristã, é freqüentemente representado por um cordeiro

com uma cruz. A expressão aparece no Novo Testamento, prin-cipalmente no Evangelho de hoje, onde João Batista diz de Je-

sus: “Eis o Cordeiro de Deus, Aquele que tira o pecado do mun-do” (Jo 1,29).

Os hebreus tinham o costume de matar um cordeiro em sacrifício a Deus, para remissão dos pecados. O sacrifício de animais era freqüente entre vários grupos étnicos, em várias partes do mun-

do. Na Bíblia é referido, por exemplo, o caso de Abraão que, para provar a sua fé em Deus teria de sacrificar o seu único filho,

imolando-o e queimando-o numa pira de lenha, como era cos-tume para os sacrifícios de animais – o relato bíblico refere,

contudo, que Deus não permitiu tal execução. A morte de Jesus Cristo, considerado pelos cristãos como Filho unigênito de Deus, tornaria estes sacrifícios desnecessários, já que sendo consider-ado perfeito, não tendo pecado e tendo nascido de uma virgem

por graça do Espírito Santo, semelhante a Adão antes do pecado original, seria o sacrifício supremo, interpretado como o maior

ato de amor de Deus para a humanidade. João Batista tem uma atuação fundamental no projeto de Deus

realizado em Jesus. O batismo de João tinha características origi-nais e sua proclamação foi tão marcante que o tornou conhecido

como “o Batista”. Enquanto as abluções de purificação com água, tradicionais entre os judeus, eram repetidas com freqüên-cia, o mergulho nas águas do batismo, com João, era feito uma única vez e tinha o sentido de sinalizar uma mudança de vida

para um compromisso perene com a prática da justiça que forta-lece a vida. Jesus assume a proclamação de João dando-lhe um novo sentido de atualidade e eternidade, identificando-a com o

projeto de Deus de conferir vida plena e eterna à humanidade. O Espírito sobre Jesus é a confirmação de sua divindade e da divi-

nização de toda a humanidade n’Ele assumida em todos seus valores e em toda sua dignidade. A presença de Jesus, Filho de

Deus, entre nós renova a nossa vida e nos impele ao empenho na construção do mundo novo possível de justiça e paz.

Interpelado estou eu e estás tu também a sermos o dedo em nos-sos dia que aponte para Jesus e diga. Eis o Cordeiro de Deus que

tira o pecado do mundo.

PARISH AND COMMUNITY EVENTS OUR PARISHES PRAY FOR LIFE

January 21, 2020

A Holy Hour for Life, For-giveness and Healing will be

held on January 21, 2020 at

7:00PM St. John the Baptist

in the chapel, as part of the Archdiocesan

observance of the National Day of Prayer and

Penance marking the anniversary of the U.S. Su-

preme Court’s decision legal-izing abortion on demand.

Led by Deacon Leo Martin, we will pray together for respect for the dignity of human life from

conception to natural death; for those who have been wounded by abortion; for those facing death; and for in-

creased holiness in the Church.

The Holy Hour for Life, Forgiveness and Healing is organized by Boston Deacons for Life in

collaboration with the Office of Diaconal Life and Minis-try & the Pro Life Office of the Archdiocese of Boston.

Please join us, all are welcome.

Saint John the Baptist School is dedicated to providing a quality

Catholic education that encourages its com-

munity to be life-long learners and lead-

ers, to live their faith with high moral standards, and to

grow academically, spiritually, and socially.

Service hours/opportunities:

You do not need to look far for service opportunities in either parish, St. John's or St. Thomas'.

Both Parishes have a thrift shop that you could help inside or at St. Thomas outside. Hours on Saturday are 8:30-2PM on Saturday's.

At St. Thomas there is also the Children's Closet that is open between 12:30-3:30 every Saturday afternoon.

Both Parishes have a Religious Education Program where either Mrs. Hinton or Mrs. Trainer would love your support, especially on the days they offer Children's Liturgy of the Word or their First Communion Retreat Days.

EACH student has an opportunity to change the life of

another. Service is a way to give what has first been given to you, love. Let God in by helping others! These hours can also

help you accomplish your service hours for school. Start sooner rather than later- You are needed year

round! Join us and help our community service opportunities grow, you will be surprised by what you receive!
