Vigésimo octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
St. Mary Parish, Waltham
October 12, 2014
My brothers and sisters in Christ,
Two Sundays ago, I attended a Cultural Gala put on by the
“The Karolines” in the lower hall of the church. “The
Karolines”, a musical group of young women and girls, sing
at the 1:30 Mass and also perform throughout the year. They
were fantastic. Not only was the performance great, but they
also performed acts while they sang and danced. These
performances explored issues and challenges in their lives
and the lives of children throughout the world – illiteracy,
sickness, a parent getting sick or dying. It was courageous
and touching. It’s what culture is supposes to do – help us
face life by bringing us together in strength and hope. Last
Sunday, the adult Hispanic Chorus put on a lunch after the
11:30 Mass. It was a simple gesture that brought people
together after the Mass. They raised money that they
donated to the Church. When I asked one of them what the
lunch was for she just said, “We want to do something for
our Church.” At the same time that day, after the 10:00 and
11:30 Masses, some of the children of the After School
Program set up a table giving out herbs and vegetables that
they harvested from our garden. People took home some
peppers, squash and tomatillos, parsley, sage, rosemary and
thyme. It was great for the children who are just learning
how to tend and watch things grow, to see the fruit of their
work. They were really into it. Give thanks to the Lord for
these gestures of gratitude that brought out the goodness of
God in each one of us.
- Father Michael
TOOTSIE ROLL DRIVE
This weekend, members of the Knights of Columbus will be
at the church doors after Mass accepting donations to benefit
people with intellectual disabilities. Tootsie Rolls will be
given out as a thank you to donors.
THANK YOU TO RTN
The staff at the local branch of RTN donated two Patriots
tickets to St. Mary’s last week. The game was last Sunday
night. The Youth Group raffled them off and collected a
good amount of money in just a few days. This will allow
them to pay for some of their events or help them go to the
Pro-Life March in Washington. The winner of the Raffle
happened to be Edwin Prado who has videotaped the
Hispanic Mass for the local TV station for many years.
Thanks to RTN for thinking of us.
SEMI–ANNUAL APPEAL
We encourage and thank every parishioner who is able to
make a contribution to the Parish Semi-Annual Appeal.

stewardship of the parish.

ST. VINCENT de PAUL
In today’s Gospel we hear Jesus say: “Many are invited, but
few are chosen.”
To give thanks for all that God has given to you, have you
considered answering the call to help serve the poor by
joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul here at St Mary’s?
Please call us at the Rectory!
“Called and chosen” as followers of Jesus, we stand with
those struggling to embrace their dignity as children of God.
For them we pray, God of mercy, hear our prayer. For those
who love without measure, yet feel unloved by others, God of
mercy, hear our prayer. For those who give to others, yet
are deprived of basic needs, God of mercy, hear our prayer.
For those who strive for justice, yet endure persecution for
their efforts, God of mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
ALTAR SERVER TRAINING
All altar servers, “new and old”, are invited to attend the

RESPECT LIFE MONTH
Every October, the Church across the United States observes
“Respect Life” month as an expression of our commitment
to the value of every human life from its beginning stages in
the womb to the end of earthly life. This year’s theme is
“Each of us is a MASTERPIECE of God’s creation.” During
October we will feature articles related to this topic.
SUNDAY MORNING PRAYER NEW TIME-7:30 AM
Sunday Morning Prayer is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. in St.
Mary’s Church. Please know that we would love to have you
join us as we begin our day and week with thanks and praise
to our Savior and Creator. The prayer is simple. It is easy to
learn. You don’t have to bring anything. It takes about 20
minutes. It is for everybody.
THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL COURSE
Father Michael is leading a course/discussion on Pope
Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation “The Joy of the Gospel”. The
Holy Father wrote this reflection helping us to see the
meaning of true joy and what a joy it is to be a Christian and
a Catholic. The classes are from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. on the
Wednesdays in October and take place in the St. Mary’s
Religious Education building on the first floor.
STUDY OF ST. MARK’S GOSPEL
Fr. Tim Murphy will be leading a study of the Gospel of St.
Mark on six Sunday evenings from 5:30-7:00 p.m.
beginning on Sunday, October 26. We will be using A
Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture: The Gospel of
Mark by Mary Healy. All meetings will take place in the St.
Mary’s Religious Education building on the first floor. The
text costs $15 and will be a valuable reference to you in
praying and reflecting on this gospel. Beginning on the first
Sunday of Advent we will be reading St. Mark’s Gospel
every Sunday at Mass. Please contact the rectory if you plan
to attend and we will get you a copy of the text.
40 DAYS FOR LIFE: SEPTEMBER 24-NOVEMBER 2
From September 24 through November 2, you are invited to
join other Christians for 40 Days for Life – 40 days of prayer
and fasting for an end to abortion. You are also invited to
stand and peacefully pray from 7:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. each day
in the public right-of-way outside Planned Parenthood, 1055
Commonwealth Avenue, Boston. Also, Friday night
candlelight vigils outside Planned Parenthood begin at 7
p.m. every Friday night from September 26 - October 31.
For more information visit 40daysforlife.com/boston.
MARIAN CANDLE LIGHT ROSARY SERVICE
Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted is holding a candle
light Rosary service on Friday, October 17 at 6:30 p.m. The
prayer service will include recitation of the rosary, singing
of hymns to Mary, and a procession to Our Lady’s
statue. October is the month of the Rosary. Come and join us
for prayer.
ADULT CONFIRMATION CLASSES
Many adults have not completed their initiation as Catholics.
There are also many Christians baptized in another
denomination who wish to inquire about Catholicism or
enter into communion and become Catholics. (Protestants
who become Catholics don’t convert. They are already
Christians). We are beginning classes in October to help and
accompany adults who wish to begin this process. If you or
someone you know wants to join us in October, please call
the parish office or speak to one of the priests. If you know
an adult or child who was never baptized and wants to learn
about Christ and/or become a Christian, please speak to one
of the priests as this process is slightly different from
Confirmation classes.
THANK YOU FROM THE KAROLINES
The Junior Karolines and the children of the Uganda
Catholic Community thank the parishioners for their support
at their cultural gala that took place on Sunday, September
28. Your presence and contributions blessed the children’s
ministry. May God bless you.
PLEASE DONATE FOOD FOR THOSE IN NEED
Our St Vincent de Paul pantry is in need of donations
of NON-PERISHABLE food items. Your donation will
provide recipients with a bag of these items to
supplement the food vouchers we also provide. Please
leave your donations at the back of the church.
WINTER COAT DRIVE
Please bring your gently used, but clean, winter coats for
women, men and children to church during October. Please
leave them in the back of the church where members of the
St Vincent de Paul Society will pick them up for distribution
in November to those in need.
ST. CHARLES ANNUAL BAZAAR

Bazaar on Saturday, October 25 from 9:00 a.m.-2:00

past abortion, the Project Rachel ministry of the Archdiocese
of Boston will offer a one-day retreat for women on October
18 and November 15 from 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. at a

Mis hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
Hace dos domingos, asisti a la Gala Cultural organizada por
los Karolines en la parte de abajo de la iglesia. Los Karolines
son un grupo musical de jovencitas y niñas que cantan en la
misa de la 1:30 p.m. los domingos. Estuvieron maravillosas.
No solo dieron una espectaculo grandioso sino que también
actuaron mientras cantaban y bailaban. A través de esta
presentacion exploraron problemas y retos que ellas y los
niños del mundo enfrentan – el analfabetismo, enfermedades,
muerte y enfermedad de la madre o el padre. Fue muy
conmovedor. Esto es lo que la cultura debe hacer - ayudarnos
a enfrentar la vida unidos en fortaleza y esperanza.
El domingo pasado, el coro Hispano de adultos ofreció un
almuerzo después de la misa de las 11:30 a.m. Fue un gesto
sencillo que unio a la gente después de misa. El dinero
reunido fue donado a la iglesia. Cuando pregunte a uno de
ellos la razón la respuesta fue “Queremos hacer algo por
nuestra iglesia”. Ese mismo día, después de las misas de
10:00 y 11:30 a.m. algunos niños del Programa Después de
la Escuela estuvieron regalando vegetales y hierbas que ellos
mismos sembraron en el jardín. La gente llevo a casa
pimientos, calabazas y tomatillos, perejil, salvia, romero y
tomillo. Fué maravilloso para los niños aprender a cuidar y
ver cosas crecer y ver el fruto de su labor. Realmente lo
disfrutaron. Demos gracias a Dios por estos gestos de
gratitud que hace posible sacar la bondad de Dios en cada
uno de nosotros.
-Padre Michael
¡GRACIAS!
Las jóvenes Karolines y los niñas de la comunidad católica
de Uganda les dan las gracias a los feligreses de Santa
María por el apoyo mostrado en la pasada Gala Cultural del
28 de septiembre. Su presencia y contribuciones fueron una
bendición para el ministerio de estos niños. Gracias y que
Dios los bendiga.
CAMPAÑA SEMI-ANUAL
Agradecemos a cada feligrés que pudo hacer su contribución
a la campaña semi-anual de la parroquia. Animamos también
a los que aun no lo han hecho a que pongan su contribución
en la canasta de la colecta o envíala por correo a la rectoría.
GRACIAS RTN
Los empleados de la oficina local de RTN donaron dos
boletos de los Patriots a la parroquia de Santa Maria la
semana pasada. El partido fue el domingo por la noche. El
grupo juvenil los rifo y colectaron una buena suma de dinero.
Esto les permitira pagar por alguno de su eventos o ayudarlos
a ir a Washington a la Marcha por la Vida. Edwin Prado,
quien ha hecho la grabación de la misa Hispana para la
estación local de television por muchos años, fue el ganador
de la rifa. Gracias RTN por pensar en nosotros.
