"Witness to Life" Pilgrimage to D.C

March for Life January 22, 2016

On January 21, 2016, young people from the Archdiocese of

Boston will depart to join hundreds of thousands of their peers

in Washington, DC, at the 43rd annual March for Life on

January 22nd, 2016. This powerful event began as a small

demonstra7on on anniversary of the historic Roe v. Wade

decision. Today, the March for Life is the largest pro-life event in

the world and is a great opportunity to witness to the dignity of

all human life, especially the most vulnerable in our society -

the unborn. We are happy to once again invite you to join

Cardinal Sean O’Malley and the Archdiocese of Boston on this

life changing pilgrimage to rise up and witness to life in 2016!

We have four dis7nct tracks to best serve all those interested,

including a middle school, high school, young adult, and family

track. Please visit www.bostoncatholic.org/witnesstolife or

contact us at [email protected]; 617-746-5766 for more

informa7on.

We would like to extend an

invitation for children, ladies and

gentlemen to join in helping our

parish to pray in song.

A lovely group of singers can also

produce a beautiful choir solo from

time to time. If you would like to join this beautiful ministry

please see Joan Riley, our music director after Masses or call

her at 978-356-5494 and email [email protected]

Mass Schedule Change—January 2016 There will be no Sunday 5:30 PM Masses for the

month of January, 2016.

The Sunday 5:30 PM Mass will resume on

Sunday, February 7, 2016. There are a few reasons why the Masses have

been canceled. I will be away on two of the

Sundays and we are not able to get any priest to

cover the 5:30 PM Masses. There is no problem

with the other Sunday Masses, just the 5:30 PM

Masses. Also, there are a few “holiday weekends”

involved and very few attend when that happens.

But, the Sunday 5:30 PM Mass will resume on

February 7, 2016. On a general note, I will have to say that since

the 5:30 PM Mass started in September, the

attendance has not been good, many times the

lectors and ministers have not shown up, no

consistent ushers, etc. The only strong point has

been the Music ministry! The Sunday 5:30 PM

Mass may be a concern for the future.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Best Wishes from Becket the wonder dog…..

out the Archdiocese. We need more married couples to help with

the program. For more information, including the top 10 reasons

Maybe this is something God is calling you to do! ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED OR KNOW

SOMEONE WHO IS?

Attend the new archdiocesan program Transformed in Love.

Programs are offered regularly, but space is limited and

pre-registration required. A previous participant commented:

“A must have. Fantastic. I would strongly recommend to all

couples getting married.” Another participant said, “It was

fabulous! We truly enjoyed [the program] and really grew as a

couple.” For more information visit www.BostonCatholic.org/

its marriage building qualities. It is never too late to learn and

practice Natural Family Planning. Access more information at

Our True Home Feast of the Holy Family (Cycle C) Sirach 3:2-6,12-14

Psalm 128:1-5

Colossians 3:12-21

Luke 2:41-52 Why did Jesus choose to become a baby born of a mother and

father and to spend all but His last years living in an ordinary

human family? In part, to reveal God's plan to make all people

live as one "holy family" in His Church (see 2 Corinthians 6:16-

18).

In the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, God reveals our

true home. We're to live as His children, "chosen ones, holy

and beloved," as the First Reading puts it. The family advice we hear in today's readings - for mothers,

fathers and children - is all solid and prac7cal. Happy homes

are the fruit of our faithfulness to the Lord, we sing in today's

Psalm. But the Liturgy is invi7ng us to see more, to see how,

through our family obliga7ons and rela7onships, our families

become heralds of the family of God that He wants to create

on earth. Jesus shows us this in today's Gospel. His obedience to His

earthly parents flows directly from His obedience to the will

of His heavenly Father. Joseph and Mary aren't iden7fied by

name, but three 7mes are called "his parents" and are referred

to separately as his "mother" and "father." The emphasis is all

on their "familial" 7es to Jesus. But these 7es are emphasized

only so that Jesus, in the first words He speaks in Luke's Gospel,

can point us beyond that earthly rela7onship to the Father-

hood of God. In what Jesus calls "My Father's house," every family finds its

true meaning and purpose (see Ephesians 3:15). The Temple

we read about in the Gospel today is God's house, His dwelling

(see Luke 19:46). But it's also an image of the family of God,

the Church (see Ephesians 2:19-22; Hebrews 3:3-6; 10:21). In our families we're to build up this household, this family, this

living temple of God. Un7l He reveals His new dwelling among

us, and says of every person: "I shall be his God and he will be

My son" (see Revela7on 21:3,7). A service of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology

www.Salva�onHistory.com

The Holy Mass is:• the celebra]on of the Paschal mys-

tery-sacrifice (passion, death, resurrec]on) of Christ our Lord,

made present and efficacious within the Chris]an community:

“Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again”• the

true, real and substan]al presence of Christ with his Body,

Blood, Soul and Divinity: true God and true Man• the

communion-banquet with Christ and, thanks to Him, with our

brothers: through His sacrifice, Christ marvelously unites us to

Himself and to one another, in such a manner that we

become “one.”

Meet Fr. Vin −The Gift of Family

As the pastor of three parishes in Dorchester and Mattapan, Fr. Vin’s responsibilities are extraordinary. While his daily work is a source of great joy, it’s the love and devotion of a special sister named Connie that restores his spirit.

When Fr. Vin’s parents passed away, he and his sister Eileen became the sole guardians of their disabled sister. For Fr. Vin, being a brother and a priest for Connie is an immense blessing. The unconditional love that he receives from Connie—especially at the end of a busy day— continues to fill his heart with gratitude.

Fr. Vin selflessly dedicates his life in service to others. This Christmas, show your gratitude with a gift that cares for Fr. Vin and the health and well-being of all the priests who faithfully serve our Archdiocese of Boston.

Text the word PRIEST to 56512 or make a gift through your parish collection at Christmas Mass.

Thank you for your generous support of the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust.

“A priest, whoever he may be, is always another Christ.”

-Saint Josemaría Escrivá

To submit your special intentions to be remembered by our senior priests during the celebration of Holy Mass at Regina Cleri each week, please visit clergyfunds.org/intentions.
