    ARCHDIOCESE OF BOSTON PARISH CLOSING MANUAL “Rebuild My Church” VERSION 1.0 Tab 1 – Letter from Archbishop O’Malley May 25, 2004 Dear Father and your parish staff, Closing one parish makes me sad, but closing many is truly heartbreaking. Never would I ask this of you if I were not certain that it was necessary. Please know that your feelings of sorrow, frustration and anguish are normal and completely understandable. As Catholics we love our parishes and our parish churches, and we will grieve together as we endure the hard work of closing. This decision to close your parish was not made easily; rather it was made after a careful consideration of the entire Archdiocese and with much consultation with many people. Our intentions were to be fair to everyone; I am sorry for you and your parish that what has been such an important part of your lives can no longer continue. I know many parishioners are having difficulty seeing where this is all going to take us, but all must get ready to start rebuilding the church in Boston. We are ready to move forward with some serious thinking and some hard work that will enable us to rebuild from a solid foundation. We need to be morally solid, spiritually solid and financially solid in order to give life to our hopes and dreams for our faith community. We really do need to put more energy into our youth than into our heating bills, and more effort into reaching out to those who need us than to fixing buildings that are beyond repair.

It is clear that the Archdiocese, though facing many of the challenges of the economic shortfalls of recent years, is very much present and active in the 144 cities and towns we serve. Since its inception, the Church has been called to both respond to the needs of the present moment, through spiritual and pastoral ministries, and to build for the future through evangelization. As the Archdiocese prepares for the first phase of Disciples in Mission, the new Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan, this approach of providing for the current needs of the Catholic community today while establishing a strong foundation for growth will guide our efforts.

  • This Topic, Surrounded by Thick, Dark, Gloom, May Be the Most Obscure of All Topics in Modern History
    This topic, surrounded by thick, dark, gloom, may be the most obscure of all topics in modern history. Towards the end of September, 2015, the dusk gradually disappeared and I saw before me the Falcon, looking like a flying eagle. Note that I interpret this according to my knowledge and available sources. This topic, like The King of Polar Light and His Secrets , suddenly came to me, I had no plans to write about it. In order to solve this problem, I again use human wisdom and I refer to The Turin Shroud, the Mystery of all Mysteries , pp 2-3. Before I continue, let us look back to the Stockholm Castle on March 8, 1844, when the Falcon God, Charles John XIV, died in his bed. King Charles John XIV’s speech before he died on March 8, 1844, at the Stockholm Castle. History tells us this of him before his death: Charles John XIV was very verbal, but he never learnt to speak Swedish. Up until his final moment, he kept his strength of both mind and body. His last illness started in January, 1844: gangrene in a foot. On his 81 st birthday, at six o’clock in the morning, he suddenly fell ill from “an attack of blood pressure in the head and vomiting” and on March 5 he had a stroke followed by total coma. The king passed away after having been ill for 42 days at 3.30 p.m. on March 8. Just before his death he awoke, whispering the name of his son Oscar.

    Office of the Attorney General Commonwealth of Massachusetts The Sexual Abuse of Children in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston A Report by the Attorney General THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ONE ASHBURTON PLACE BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02108-1698 T HOMAS F. REILLY (617) 727-2200 ATTORNEY GENERAL www.ago.state.ma.us July 23, 2003 TO THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS The education, care and protection of our children are among the most important undertakings of our society. In the past one hundred years, we in the United States and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have made great gains in how we protect our children - and our nation and state have been the better for it. It was with this single motivation - to protect children - that in January 2002, the Office of the Attorney General undertook to address the massive and prolonged mistreatment of children by priests assigned to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston; and it is with this single motivation that the Office of the Attorney General submits the accompanying report of what it did and learned. Throughout the history of the United States, the Catholic Church in America has been responsible for countless good works. Outside of government, it is probably the country’s foremost social services provider: feeding the hungry, caring for the old, the weak and the dispossessed, and fighting in the name of social justice. Its schools and universities have educated generations of children. And thousands of devout and honorable priests provide the Church’s followers with moral and spiritual guidance every day.

  • Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Annual Report Fiscal Year 2006
    Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Annual Report Fiscal Year 2006 The Pilot • Special Section • April 27, 2007 Prayer to Saint Matthew the Apostle, patron saint of financial managers Dear publican become a Saint, after once gathering taxes and tolls how wonderful was your conversion by grace when discarding your earthly possessions you followed the Poor Man of Nazareth. The Mammon of Money is still worshiped. Inspire bankers with kindness and with the desire to help where they can; for what is done to the least, to the poor, is done to Jesus, the Son of Man. Amen. Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2006 In our Financial Transparency Review for Fiscal Year 2005 presented last year, several goals and commitments were detailed, including: • Provide an understanding of the financial condition and operations of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, a Corporation Sole; • Move toward full financial disclosure of all individual, active parishes; • Establish a framework for the future strategic planning of the Archdiocese; and • Bring the Central Operations of the Archdiocese to a balanced budget within 18 months (or for the fiscal year 2008 budget). The Annual Report for fiscal year 2006, presented in the following pages, has been developed to provide our parishioners and supporters with not only an understanding of our financial position, but to also offer the perspective of those individuals charged with the Archdiocese’s stewardship and financial management. It is a bridge to the future as we move to provide an annual report that will follow the progress of our Parishes, Ministries and Programs.

Roman Catholic Archbishop of Boston My Dear Friends in Christ, In his letters to the early Christian community, St. Paul encourages the faithful to persevere through the challenges they face, confident in the knowledge that they are doing the work of the Lord. Those timeless words carry an important message for the Catholic community in the Archdiocese of Boston today. This annual report recognizes the reality of the Archdiocese’s financial condition. The economic shortfalls in many of the communities served by our parishes have led an increasing number of people to turn to the Church for help, many never having expected to be in such a circumstance. We remain committed to carry on the mission given us by Jesus Christ, providing food, shelter, healthcare and compassionate concern to those in need At many times during the past year, the local Catholic community has shown great generosity for others.

The depth and breadth of our history and the vitality of our local church in this present time were brought forth as we made the commitment to continue building on the foundations established by our predecessors. This annual report shows us that the Archdiocese’s overall financial condition has improved over the last year, continuing the positive trend of recent years. The report also indicates that we face a number of challenges, including an unprecedented number of requests for services for the poor and those who find themselves in a never expected circumstance of need. The economic declines and job losses of the past year have impacted many people.

We believe that full and open sharing concerning the sources and uses of the funds entrusted to our stewardship greatly helps us to promote the work of the Church. One of the most significant developments of the past year was the implementation of the Phase One collaboratives of Disciples in Mission, the Archdiocese’s pastoral planning initiative. The immediate benefit of this plan is that all parish ministries are focused on the central goals of evangelization and building up the worshipping community. Also, parishes are realizing operational efficiencies as they work together under the leadership of their pastor and pastoral team. The recently announced Phase Two collaboratives, representing a broader implementation across the Archdiocese, will formally begin their work on June 1, 2014.
