ST. JOAN OF ARC - Saint Joan of Arc

ST. JOAN OF ARC
A message from Fr. Andres:
Dear Parishioners,
This coming January 22, 2016 will mark the
43rd anniversary of the Supreme Court to legalize abortion after the famous case of Roe
V. Wade. The Most Reverend Bishop Robert
J. McManus is calling to the faithful people of
the Diocese of Worcester to follow the general Instruction of the Roman Missal to have
January 22 as a special day of prayer, fasting, and penance offered for the unborn children of world.
Pope Francis says, “The common home of all
men and women must continue to rise on the
foundations of a right understanding of universal fraternity and respect for the sacredness of every human life, of every man and
every woman, the poor, the elderly, children,
the infirm, the unborn, the unemployed, the
abandoned, those considered disposable because they are only considered as part of a
statistic. This common home of all men and
women must also be built on the understanding of a certain sacredness of created nature.” (September 25 in New York)
We must understand that that after all these
years more than 57 million lives have been
lost, and a bigger number of people have
been wounded physically, emotionally, and
spiritually by the abortion. We need now
more than ever to re-commit ourselves to defending life.
The entire Church community, bishops,
priests, deacons, religious, and laity are invited to reach out to those who have been so
sadly affected by the culture of death, particularly by not judging and providing aid to women and families in crisis pregnancies, especially offering healing, love and mercy.
Saint Joan of Arc Church wants to become
part of this call from our Bishop and the Holy
Father. We are going to have a bilingual
Mass on January 22nd at 9:00am followed by
two hours of adoration that will finish with a
solemn blessing at 12:00pm.

“To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.” (1 Corinthians 12:7)
St. Paul tells us that God has blessed each of us
for a reason. How has God blessed you? Are you
using your gifts according to God’s plan, helping
to do His work here on earth? Remember that if
you don’t do the work God planned for you, no
one else can do it.
