Henry Ward Beecher, “Proverbs from Plymouth pulpit” (1887) Parish Office Hours Monday / Wednesday / Thursday 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (closed 12:00 – 1:00 PM) Last weekend Fr. Stephen (Mission Appeal) told us ‘his story’ and I thanked him for this. When one is brave enough to tell us his or her story and we are open to listen with our hearts, it will put our lives into perspective (how grateful we must The Celebration of the Eucharist be!). Do any of us even know what a pit latrine is? He asked. Are there people who still live this way in this 21st century? Sunday: 8:00 AM & 10:30 AM Saturday Vigil: 4:00 PM Such stories of complete poverty (which can sometimes hit home hard…) provoke questions in my mind. Why is it that in this very rich world, some people are reduced to be ‘beggars,’ in fact ‘perpetual beggars,’ constantly malnourished Summer Sunday Mass schedule: 9:00 AM and diseased? Their children have no dreams and no future. Are they just lazy or inept, waiting to be spoon-fed? Where (Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend) have lots and lots of money and aid given over generations gone? Can’t somebody put this house in order? Weekday Masses: 8:00 AM, Wednesday/Thursday/Friday The maladies of poverty are deep. They are often rooted in social and economic injustice and the Prophet Amos even in his time, powerfully and providentially addresses this. SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION (Confession) Saturday 3:00 - 3:30 p.m. or by appointment. SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM Adults are baptized at the Easter Vigil as part of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). In Amos’ time there was great economic prosperity but only a few profited from this. These few ‘bathed’ in good life Infant and child Baptisms are by arrangement. and luxurious living: “lying in beds of ivory, stretching comfortably on their couches…they drink wine from bowls and FIRST EUCHARIST Preparation begins in grade one and includes classes, retreats, and home instruction. Children receive First anoint themselves with the best oils” (Amos 6, 6) and this is their sin (fatal wound); they are not made ill by the collapse Eucharist in grade two. of Joseph. They have become so indolent, blindly indifferent and insensitive to the falling apart of ‘the other.’ Amos is th th furious and he will speak his mind. This is totally unacceptable and against every Old Testament covenant promise. CONFIRMATION Our Confirmation program begins in the 9 grade; students are confirmed in the spring of the 10 grade. For young adults who have been baptized but not yet confirmed, contact the parish office. Steeped in Mosaic tradition, Amos reminds the rich that the Covenant with Yahweh allowed no class distinction (only a concept of brotherhood). Amos finally notes that the root cause of all this is a 'Religious decay.' The people, therefore, SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY It is the policy of the Diocese of Worcester that a couple should contact the parish at least one must 'return to God' and obey his Word and Will in order to avoid the Day of Judgment and doom. year prior to the anticipated date of their wedding to allow sufficient time to carry out the various steps of the marriage preparation process. It is important that arrangements be made with the church before plans are made with reception halls, caterers, etc. What is the rich man’s sin in the Gospel?

  • Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
    The Church of Saint Boniface January 24, 2021 Third Sunday in Ordinary Time “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Then they abandoned their nets and followed him. (Mark 1 17-18) UN-QUIET WORD FOR TODAY Disciples are more than ‘good’ agents. Occasionally all of us could use a good PR agent. Life itself perhaps might be so much easier with such an agent. Agents in the world of public relations, in media terminology, in the world of sports, enter- tainment and politics make the ordinary look extraordinary. A good agent knows how to blend criti- cism and put one in the good public eye. A good agent keeps one’s name in the best public light. A good agent knows the right places to be, the right people to associate with, the right clothes to wear, maybe even I, as a priest, might be better if I had a good agent?? (Make me look good!) The message of this weekend’s readings is: those called to be disciples or prophets, those who want to proclaim the gospel, cannot be just ‘good agents’; they must be about something more. Discipleship is about practicing or being what you preach. Jonah, in the initial stages of his prophetic ministry, saw himself just as a mere agent of “Set out for the great city of Nineveh, God. He was a very reluctant prophet in par- and announce to it the message that I will tell you.” ticular to the City of Nineveh. Jonah was a (Jonah 3, 2) Jew and a nationalist.

  • The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
    The Church of Saint Boniface June 6, 2021 The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ “This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many." (The Gospel) COMING HOME TO MASS A pastoral letter to the Diocese of Worcester My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, During this past year so much of our life has moved online, to a “virtual” reality, including Masses streamed from our churches. However, as much as technology has helped us to bridge somewhat the pandemic divide, virtual reality remains virtual and is not the same as being present at the celebration of Holy Mass in person. We only have to remember the longing we have felt to be present for a meal with family members or friends for anniversaries, weddings or birthdays. How much we yearned to see them face-to-face. It’s the same with Mass. As helpful as it has been to connect to our parishes virtually, it is nothing like gathering in person with our brothers and sisters at Sunday Mass. The celebration of the Eucharist is the source and summit of our lives as Roman Catholics. It is where Christ gives himself to us in his Body and Blood. Christ is present at every Mass, in his Word proclaimed, in a tangible way in his Body and Blood and in the person of his priest. He is present to feed us with Word and Sacrament, to embrace us with his love and to give us the grace we need to face the struggles of our daily lives.
