A Social Justice Committee’s “Share the Spirit” interview with a parishioner
who has done or is doing outreach to those in need
CREATING OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE
JOAN COTÉ AT ROSIE’S PLACE
Today Rosie’s Place is a landmark Boston institution serving poor and homeless women. In the early days of its founding, The Boston Globe helped get the word out about its services as the first women’s shelter in the U.S. One Sunday morning in 1979, Joan Coté
read one of those articles by reporter Christina Robb and said she felt called to do something there.
A parishioner at that time at St. James in Arlington, Joan worked with her pastor to organize a group of parishioners to prepare a meal
once a month for the women at Rosie's Place. Each parishioner prepared part of the meal; their menu included meatloaf, green beans,
rice, garden salad, and dessert. In the summertime, they served turkey hotdogs, three-bean salad, oranges and strawberries, and dessert.
Eventually they were cooking for, and serving, some 100 women and children. They would prepare the food in their homes and then
carpool together to bring the meal to Rosie’s Place. It was always easy to find volunteers to donate their time, and especially easy to
find someone to bake a dessert, Joan noted.
For thirty-six years that is what this group did, and they continued even after becoming parishioners at St. Eulalia Church. They were
all happy to do this meal preparation and serving, and had many good times doing so. The opportunity to be a part of Rosie’s Place
also gave these parishioners a chance to donate clothing and bring in Christmas presents.
But it was also sad work, Joan said, especially when mothers had very young children with them. It was sad, too, to realize that some
of the women would return to the streets after their meal. Added to that was the troubling sense that many of the women not only had
no money or job but also had no prospects for finding work.
Founded in 1974 by Kip Tiernan, Rosie’s Place today serves 220 women and children lunch and dinner each weekday and provides
overnight shelter. It houses a grocery store and a craft collaborative for participants to make jewelry. There are classes in ESL, as
well as advocacy, outreach, and health professionals, who provide support services.
To this day, Joan carries with her a comment one of the St. James priests made to her: "Look at the opportunity you created for so
many others to serve the poor."

A NOTE FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Parishioners,
A Blessed Easter to you!
We are pleased to welcome all who have come to join us in
celebrating the Easter message of Christ’s triumph over death
in his glorified resurrection.
This is indeed a special day for the local parish community,
for not only is this Easter Day, but fifty years ago, on this very
day, March 27th, 1966 St. Eulalia Church opened its doors for
the first time and for the first celebration of Mass in this building. For fifty years the good news has been proclaimed and
preached in this church that Jesus Christ is Lord of heaven and
earth and that all things, even death itself, are subject to him.
For fifty years in the power of the resurrected Christ infants
and adults have been welcomed into our community of faith
through Baptism, young people have been sealed in the Holy
Spirit through the Sacrament of Confirmation, those bowed
down by sin have experienced the forgiving embrace of Christ
in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, couples have gone forth
blessed with the Sacrament of Matrimony to share their love
with the world, the dead have been prayed over and blessed,
and countless members of the faithful have approached the
Lord’s banquet table to feed on the life of Christ in the Eucharist.
I rejoice today with all those who consider St. Eulalia to be
their spiritual home. I remember and pray for all those who in
the past had a part in our life here together, and I ask God’s
blessing that this community in the future may always be a
light on the top of the hill reflecting Christ’s living presence to
all.
Your Pastor,

Everything: A Spirituality for Real Life. He has spoken to gatherings of clergy and laity at many Catholic dioceses and archdiocese,
as well as colleges and universities across the country. Fr. Martin has also written many articles in the popular press and has appeared

exceeded our goal! Those have not yet been processed and are
not reflected in the numbers above. If you have not yet pledged
to the 2016 Catholic Appeal, there is still time to do so. Envelopes are available in the booklet rack in the foyer of the
church. Note there is no mailing address on these envelopes, so
return it to the parish office or drop it in the OSR box.

Hi Louise,
Thanks for the mail and for the all your efforts to support the
building of one of parish churches. Sorry for not getting back
to early, it’s because I have not had access to the internet for
almost two weeks now.
The community of St. John the Baptist will have a school in
the near future but they will have to finish the church first
(NOT EVEN STARTED) and will have to buy a land close
by as well before they can build a school. The kids in check
uniform sent to you are in our school in the main parish, Ste.
Thérèse de L’Enfant Jésus.
The community of Our Lady of Trinity are trying to open a
clinic, as the people in the area experience flooding every
year during the rainy season and thereby causing diseases and
sicknesses.
Meanwhile we are starting a micro finance project to help the
poor and particularly widows in the parish where they will
receive, when it takes off, small loans of $100 - $200 to start
their own small commerce and prepare them towards financial autonomy.
I will be in St. Eulalia in July this year if all goes well by the
grace of God and I will explain the projects of the four communities in the parish. Thank you and wish you more courage
in your Lenten efforts.
Fr. Nelson
