Lord God, we offer our joyful prayers in thanksgiving for our Holy Father, Pope Francis, who is the Vicar of Christ and Servant of the Servants of God. In Pope Francis, we recognize the successor to Saint Peter, the touchstone for the mission of the Church. We pray that your Holy Spirit will strengthen him as a messenger of love, peace, and unity in our suffering world. We give thanks for the many gifts offered to all of us by this true Shepherd of God’s Church. May he please you in his holiness and guide his flock with love and watchful care, especially the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable. We pledge our love and support for him. With him, we accept the invitation to spread the Good News of the Gospel in word and deed. We offer these prayers through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.

We promise to live chaste celibate lives. We promise to pray daily for the Church with the Liturgy of the Hours: Morning Pray- er, Evening Prayer, Night Prayer, etc. And we promise obedience to the our bishop, whose authority can be traced back without interruption to the apostles, including Saint Peter. Eighteen years ago, I was ordained to the priesthood during a tragic time in the life of the Roman Catholic Church. That spring, the clergy abuse scandal culminated in the resignation of Cardinal Bernard Law and the admission that our bishops had conspired to conceal hun- dreds of cases of child sexual abuse in the Archdiocese of Boston. Across the United States, the number of cases climbed into the thousands. Years later, it remains almost impossible to describe the pain and suffering of so many victims and their families. And the damage done to the reputation and moral credibility of the Catholic Church continues to cast some shad- ow over every effort at evangelization and outreach. If at all, it will take generations for God’s holy family to heal and recover from the crimes of the past. Given all that was happening back then, you might think that a young seminarian would struggle with making those three promises — especially the one about lifelong obedience to the local bishop. But Cardinal Law was replaced temporarily by Bishop Richard Lennon, the Rector of Saint John Seminary, who was called upon to preside over the ordination of my class. Bishop Lennon died almost two years ago. He was not a perfect man, a perfect priest, or a perfect bishop. But he was dedicated in body, mind, and spirit to prayer, the priest- hood, and the quiet service of God’s people. His whole life embodied those three ancient promises of celibacy, prayer, and obedience. At my ordination, I was blessed and humbled to place my hands in his and promise my obedience to him and to his successors. The priest’s promise of obedience, however, is not just about loyalty to a living bishop. It is also about the mystical link between Christ Jesus, the priest, the people, and the great chain of pastors that stretches back through history to the apostles. It is our spiritual connection to the first pastor, a fisherman from Galilee called Peter. And it about our relationship with the current pastor, a shepherd from Argentina called Francis. Pope Francis is the Bishop of Rome, the Supreme Pontiff, and the Vicar of Christ. His ecclesial authority is derived from Christ himself who said: “You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church (Matthew 16:18).” At the same time, the Holy Father’s credibility comes from his good works, good example, and abiding message of mercy, inclusion, fraternity, and concern for all of God’s creatures. His credibility comes from casting the nets and opening wide the doors so that all people feel loved, welcomed, and respected in our community. At the heart of it all, Saint Peter was a local fisherman called by Christ to do great things and change the world. In a similar way, Pope Francis is very much like his predecessor. He is a person of humble origins who is called by Christ to live the Gospel, share God’s love, and rebuild the Church. He, too, is called to change the world. Now more than ever, whatever our vocation in life and wherever our spiritual journeys take us, we can all make at least one solemn promise. Let’s join Saint Peter in praying each and every day for Pope Francis! May God bless Pope Francis! May God save the Church! Viva Papa Francesco! Viva San Pietro! 3 CATHOLIC COMMUNITY OF GLOUCESTER & ROCKPORT THIRTEENTH SUNDAY PASTOR’S URGENT APPEAL _____________________ Our Grand Annual Collections Let’s Pray for Miracles! FISCAL YEAR ENDS ON JUNE 30TH! Recently, we celebrated the feast of a patron of our parishes: Saint Anthony. If you are Portuguese, you may know him as Saint Anthony of Lisbon. If you are Italian, you may know him as Saint Anthony of Padua. And of course, almost everyone knows him as the Patron Saint of Lost Things and Lost Souls. Saint Anthony is also remem- bered as a miracle-maker and wonder-worker. Because of his deep faith, profound learning, evangelical preaching, and abiding love for the Infant Jesus, tradition holds that God gave him the power to work many miracles. Here’s a short version of a Mira- cle Prayer to Saint Anthony: Holy Saint Anthony, gentlest of all saints, your love for God and charity for all creatures made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in need. Encouraged by these thoughts, we beg you to obtain for us (ask for what you need). The answer to our prayer may require a miracle, but you are the Saint of Miracles! Gentle and loving Saint Anthony, whose heart is always full of sympathy, whisper our petitions into the ears of the Sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be held in your arms, and the gratitude of our hearts will be yours forever and ever. Amen. We need miracles! In just a few days, the Catholic Community of Gloucester & Rock- port will mark the end of its fiscal year! Both of our parishes need your help! Our most urgent need is to meet the goals of our Grand Annual Collections. By June 30th, Holy Family Parish must raise $10,535 to reach our goal of $65,000; and Our Lady of Good Voyage Parish must raise $12,500 to reach our goal of $45,000. Neither of these goals is easy, but both are vitally important! The Grand Annual Collections bridge the gap between our weekly offering and our overall financial obligations including building maintenance and repair, salaries and benefits for our pastoral team (including me), and essential parish programs like adult and youth faith formation. Donations can be placed in the collection basket during Mass; made online via our safe and easy electronic giving program; or mailed to the parish of your choice at 74 Pleasant Street, Gloucester, Massachusetts 01930. Quite simply, without your support before June 30th, the short and long-term financial stability of our parishes is at risk. Until then, let us raise our hearts and voices in a prayer to Saint Anthony for miracles: for good health, for better times, for balanced budgets, and for all who live, work, and worship in the Catholic Community of Gloucester & Rockport. Thank you for your generous support! Peace and blessings to all! — Father Jim 4 CCGRONLINE.COM | @CCGRONLINE JUNE 27, 2021 SHARING GOD’S LOVE REBUILDING THE CHURCH _____________________ _____________________ Our New Daily Mass Schedule BE WELL!

  • Management Discussion and Analysis FY05 Discussion & Analysis of the Financial Statements
    Management Discussion and Analysis FY05 Discussion & Analysis of the Financial Statements Introduction The most recent audited financial statements of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Boston, a Corporation Sole (Corporation Sole) available are for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2005. These statements, including the combined financial information for the parishes as a group, the central office, the insurance funds and the endowment funds, are provided in section five of this presentation. The Corporation Sole financial statements are complex. The purpose of this report is to explain what these financial statements are telling us and provide a context to help readers further their understanding of them. This is done by answering a series of key questions about the financial statements, with a focus on the following concepts: What does Corporation Sole own? How is it owned, or who has an interest in it? How did that ownership change during the year? What is the assessment of its financial condition? This analysis also answers questions about such matters as the status of the Revolving Loan Fund, activities of the Parish Reconfiguration Funds, the impact of the Clergy Benefit Funds on Corporation Sole and other matters not readily answered by the audited financial statements. The questions related to the sources and uses of funds for the sexual abuse settlements are the subject of a separate report that is being issued simultaneously with this report and therefore are not included in this discussion. Some underlying principles are important to understand in order to use this analysis effectively. Corporation Sole follows the accounting practices used by not-for-profit organizations.
