This past year has certainly presented its challenges and our parishioners have been extremely supportive with their time, talent, and treasure. Every time that we have asked for assistance our parishioners have stepped forward; I am amazed at the amount of support that you give to our parishes…. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!

  • Saint Dominic Savio
    Saint Dominic Savio Dominic Savio is one of the few teenage saints in the history of the Church. He was born in 1842 in the village of Riva in northern Italy. He was the eldest child of Charles and Brigid Savio who were poor and hard working people. At the age of 8 Dominic walked ten kilometres each day to the school in the neighbouring village. There he became an excellent student who always tried hard in his lessons. At the age of 12 he commenced at Don Bosco's school, The Oratory of St Francis de Sales in Turin. He made many friends due to his cheerfulness and willingness to be part of every activity. Dominic was a gifted student leader. At school he would actively look out for those who were lonely and befriend them. When a new student arrived he would be the first to greet them. He would encourage them to be a good Christian, saying that it is "not a matter of doing extraordinary things but of doing ordinary things extraordinarily well." Dominic loved God. He had a strong faith and was actively involved in community service. He was a constant visitor to the school hospital where he would cheer up those who were sick. He and his friends would go into Turin to assist those who were old or ill. Dominic was not a physically strong boy and had bad health. His teachers and friends admired the way he never complained about his sickness. He died at the age of 15. Dominic's life is a great example to young people through his effort at school, his loyalty as a friend, his qualities as a student leader, his service to others and his love of God.

The winter storm that raged most of the preceding day kept many people from attending the ceremony so the Cathedral was far from full. But participants includ- ing Mainers, many priests from the Archdiocese of Boston and Bish- op Robert Deeley’s own family provided a warm welcome to Maine while a frigid wind blew outdoors. Quite a few Good Shepherd Parishioners participated, and that pleased me very much. I am happy to announce that among his first appointments, Bishop Deeley will visit Good Shepherd Parish next Friday, February 28, and Sunday, March 2.

  • Pascual Chavez
    Giornate di Spiritualità della Famiglia Salesiana 16 - 19 gennaio 2014 Pastoral Charity Core and synthesis of Salesian spiritualiy Fr Pascual Chávez Villanueva Rector Mejor Previously we have seen how the ”type” of spiritual person Don Bosco was: profoundly human and totally open to God; in harmony between these two dimension he lived out a plan of life that he had taken up with determination: at the service of the young. As Don Rua says: “He took no step, he said no word, he took up no task that was not directed to the saving of the young.”[14] If one examines his plan for the young one sees that it had a “heart,”, an element that gave it meaning, originality: “Truly the only concern of his heart was for souls”.[15] There is therefore a further practical explanation for the unity of his life: through his dedication to young people Don Bosco wanted to give them an experience of God. On his part this was not just generosity or philantropy but pastoral charity. This is called the “core and synthesis” of the Salesian spirit.[16] “Core and synthesis” is a telling and demanding affirmation. It is easier to list the various features, even the basic ones of our spirituality, without committing ourselves to any sort of hierarchical relationship, which would choose one as being the principal one. In this case it is necesary to enter into the spirit of Don Bosco or of the Salesian in order to discover the explanation for his way of doing things. To understand what is involved in pastoral charity we take three steps: we look first at charity, then at the specification “pastoral”, and finally at the ‘Salesian’ characteristics of pastoral charity.
