SAINT THERESA OF AVILA WEST ROXBURY , MASSACHUSETTS “MISSA PRO POPULO” A NOTE FROM MONSIGNOR HELMICK

The code of Canon Law requires each pastor of a parish, and each bishop of a diocese, to offer each Sunday what is described as a “Missa Pro Populo”—a Mass for the people of the parish or the diocese. I do this faithfully and gladly Each weekend, confident that God’s graces and blessings will be poured out abundantly on the people of Saint Theresa’s Parish.

When I offer that Mass each week, I am more and more conscious of the enormous part the people of the parish have in our parish life and activity. A host of peoples’ names comes to my mind: the parish staff, the parish employees, the countless volunteers who make so much happen in our parish for so many individuals and groups. As I am writing this, I am very mindful of the volunteers who make it possible for Saint Theresa’s Parish to have Children’s Choir, Religious Education, Peer Min- istry, Lectors, Extraordinary Ministers, Ushers, and Sacristans, among other things.

Whenever I celebrate the “Miss Pro Populo”, I think of how little would get done without the parishioners who volunteer to organize and staff the programs and activities of Saint Theresa’s Parish and Saint Theresa’s School. I am reminded of how actively and generously our parishioners, in large numbers, give of themselves to make Saint Theresa’s the wonderful community of Catholic Faith it is.

When I celebrate that “Miss Pro Populo” I have in my mind and heart the sick, the dying, the elderly, the house-bound, and those who care for them. I have in my mind and heart the parishioners who are experiencing any kind of difficulty, anxiety, sadness, or loss, whatever their age may be. I think in a special way of the inactive and alienated Catholics who live in Saint Theresa’s Parish, and I think of the many parishioners who have been and are so generous in the support of our parish.

My prayer “pro populo” is always the same, usually not even put into any particular formula, but as a prayer from the heart that God will bless and protect the people of Saint Theresa’s Parish, keep them close to Him every day, and keep them attached ever more firmly to the Church- - - - which helps us grow closer to Christ Our Lord, Our Savior.

Reverend Monsignor William M. Helmick Pastor
