Jack Dickinson, Parochial Vicar Deacon Robert Parenteau Deacon Kevin Jacques Message from Monsignor René Mathieu (1) Last Monday, the parish closed on the sale of a condominium on Garfield Street in Saco. I announced earlier that it was bequeathed to the parish by Mrs. Josephine Cupelli, who died in June 2012. Mrs. Cupelli was gracious and generous in remembering Good Shepherd Parish in her will; according to her instructions, the proceeds are re- stricted to the care and maintenance of St. Joseph Church. More and more, the parish must rely on such gifts in order to financially support the vitality of our parish. Please consider similar gifts as you plan and administer your own personal estates. The parish office is happy to assist in any way possible. Feel free to contact David Gadbois at 207-282-3321 or email "Sunrise marks the hour for men to begin their [email protected].

There was an evident look of disappointment on his face. When his father asked: “What’s the matter, son? You said you wanted a little brother.” “Yes,” retorted Johnnie, “but not that little.” BIDDEFORD, SACO, OLD ORCHARD BEACH & LYMAN PARISH LITURGIES Wednesday, June 11 9:00 am St. Joseph: Reinette Taylor / Craig Walker 9:00 am St. Philip: Fred D.

    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.
