DECEMBER 25—Clergy Benefit Trust

Every Christmas, we join with family and friends to honor and thank

our priests. Our 614 diocesan priests celebrate our joys, comfort us

in 3mes of crisis or sorrow, and are there during the ordinary and

extraordinary moments of life. Together, they represent thousands

of years of dedicated service to Christ and to us—His Church.

Remember priests who have served our parish who have made a

meaningful difference in your life, and consider honoring him/them

with a generous gi8 to today’s/tonight’s collec3on. You also can

make a gi8 online at clergy funds.org or simply text the word PRIEST

to 56512 (Msg. & data rates may apply). Our priests have dedicated

their lives to serving the Catholic faithful here in our Archdiocese.

Now, it is our turn to serve them in their 3me of need.

Thank you for your prayers and generous support of our priests.

"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

demonstra3on 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 dis3nct 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

informa3on.

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! Best Wishes from Becket the wonder dog…..

ENRICH YOUR MARRIAGE!

The Archdiocese of Boston has a new marriage preparation

program, Transformed in Love, that is being implemented through-

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

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

for being involved, please visit www.BostonCatholic.org/Training.

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/

TransformedinLove NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING (NFP) – EFFECTIVE, NATURAL AND MORAL

Couples use modern NFP not only for its effectiveness but also for

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

practice Natural Family Planning. Access more information at

separation or divorce, we believe Retrouvaille can help. You are

NOT alone! Our peer ministry is led by couples who have lived

through the honeymoon phase often followed by deep

disillusionment before finally finding resurrection in their

marriages using the tools taught in this program. Rediscover

A Mother's Greedng Fourth Sunday Advent (Cycle C) Micah 5:1-4

Psalm 80:2-3,15-16,18-19

Hebrews 5:5-10

Luke 1:39-45 On this last Sunday before Christmas, the Church's Liturgy

reveals the true iden3ty of our Redeemer:

He is, as today's First Reading says, the "ruler...whose origin is

from...ancient 3mes." He will come from Bethlehem, where

David was born of Jesse the Ephrathite and anointed king

(see Ruth 4:11-17; 1 Samuel 16:1-13; 17:1; MaRhew 2:6). God promised that an heir of David would reign on his throne

forever (see 2 Samuel 7:12-13; Psalm 89; Psalm 132:11-12). Jesus is that heir, the One the prophets promised would re-

store the scaRered tribes of Israel into a new kingdom (see

Isaiah 9:5-6; Ezekiel 34:23-25,30; 37:35). He is "the shepherd

of Israel," sung of in today's Psalm. From His throne in heaven,

He has "come to save us." Today's Epistle tells us that He is both the Son of David and

the only "begoRen" Son of God, come "in the flesh" (see also

Psalm 2:7). He is also our "high priest," from the mold of the

mysterious Melchisedek, "priest of God Most High," who

blessed Abraham at the dawn of salva3on history

(see Psalm 110:4; Genesis 14:18-20). All this is recognized by John when he leaps for joy in his

mother's womb. Elizabeth, too, is filled with joy and the Holy

Spirit. She recognizes that in Mary "the mother of my Lord" has

come to her. We hear in her words another echo of the Psalm

quoted in today's Epistle (see Psalm 2:7). Elizabeth blesses

Mary for her faith that God's Word would be fulfilled in her. Mary marks the fulfillment not only of the angel's promise to

her, but of all God's promises down through history. Mary is

the one they await in today's First Reading - "she who is to give

birth." She will give birth this week, at Christmas. And the fruit

of her womb should bring us joy - she is the mother of our

Lord.

A service of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology

www.Salva�onHistory.com

The Holy Mass is:• the celebradon of the Paschal mys-

tery-sacrifice (passion, death, resurrecdon) of Christ our Lord,

made present and efficacious within the Chrisdan community:

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

true, real and substandal 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
