New & Ongoing in Our Community

From Fr. Dan, Pastor

Dear Friends,

Jesus comforts us: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.”

I am glad you came to join with us at Mass today. I hope you feel Jesus’ love for you in a new, refreshing way. You are so welcomed here. I hope you will come again.

Pope Francis on Life in Womb (May 25, 2019): “Abortion is never a solution even when the unborn child is suffering from pathological disorders, because children in the womb are ‘small patients’ and medicine knows how to provide patient care.” When prenatal testing shows there’s the possibility of the child having a pathology, Francis said, “on a social level, the fear and hostility towards disability often lead to the choice of abortion, configuring it as a practice of ‘prevention’. But the Church’s teaching on this point is clear: human life is sacred and inviolable and the use of prenatal diagnosis for selective purposes should be discouraged with strength, because it is the expression of an inhuman eugenics mentality, which takes away the possibility of families welcoming, embracing and loving their weakest children.”

Pope Francis on Climate Change (June 14, 2019): Speaking to oil company executives, Pope Francis said that climate change “threatens the very future” of humanity, adding that the “doomsday predictions” can no longer be met with disdain. “Time is running out!” Francis said. “Deliberations must go beyond mere exploration of what can be done, and concentrate on what needs to be done. We do not have the luxury of waiting for others to step forward, or of prioritizing short-term economic benefits. The climate crisis requires our decisive action, here and now.”

Fr. John and the “Communion of Saints.” The saints have changed history for the better. They have left us an inspiring example to follow. They care for us with their prayers. We will be with them face to face in Heaven. We can say all of this and more about Fr. John.

Sports: The Bruins gave every once of effort, even if they lost in game seven of the finals. The Sox are now a record (for this season) five games over 500. Are they catching momentum? The USA woman’s soccer team is so awesome! Who did the Celtics get in the draft? Will Kyrie Irving leave, and will that help or hurt?

Love and God bless you, Fr. Dan

Monthly Mass for the Sick The next Monthly Mass for the Sick, sponsored by the Mass for the Sick ministry of Sacred Heart & Our Lady Help of Christians Collaborative, will be this Monday, June 24, at 6:30pm at Our Lady’s. Fr. Dan Riley, Pastor of our collaborative, will celebrate the Mass and Anointing of the Sick. After refreshments, Gloria Rausa-Thompson, a talent-ed Sacred Heart parishioner with a passion for floral ar-ranging, will offer a demonstration. Gloria has used her talents on numerous occasions at Sacred Heart and many other venues.

The evening is designed to bring joy, hope, and peace to those who are affected by illness, including family and friends. The Mass and program will both be held down-stairs at Our Lady’s Church. For questions or more infor-

mation, please contact Pat Enright at 617-467-4482 or [email protected], Lorraine Higgins at 617-244-0267 or [email protected], or the parish offices. All are welcome!

Spam Email Warning As has happened several times in the past, this week sever-al staff members and parishioners received emails from someone impersonating Fr. Dan and requesting financial help. This was a spam email! The official email accounts of staff members are the “sholnewton.org” addresses. Please disregard any other communication. You can always call the parish offices if you are not sure about the authen-ticity of certain emails.

Mary Ann McLaughlin’s Eulogy for Fr. John

The eulogy that Mary Ann McLaughlin gave at Fr. John’s Funeral Mass in Swampscott is now available online. Also online is the memorial booklet of photos and stories. Both can currently be found directly on the Collaborative home page at www.sholnewton.org.

Many people were glad to take a book or two from Fr. John’s personal collection after Masses at Our Lady’s in recent weeks. If you did not yet get a chance to browse, know there are still many books available and you are very welcome to take a look. Please contact Kate to set up a time.

Finally, please know that the Pastoral Council and the staff

are having conversations about how best to honor Fr. John with permanent memorials at both parishes. The current plan is to let ideas percolate for a few months. If you would like to share an idea, please be in touch with a Councilmember or staff member. Thank you!

June 23 ~ Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood (Corpus Christi)

Today we celebrate this great gift that Jesus gave us. He promised that He would be with us always, and He left us the sacrament of His Body and Blood. Do I stop and think how great this gift is? Do I consider Who I am receiving in this sacrament? Do I believe that each time I receive Communion I am given what I need to be and to become the “body of Christ?” As you leave Mass today, take Jesus with you and bring Him to everyone we meet.

Coming Soon: Summer Daily Mass Schedule

We will again be moving to a revised summer daily Mass schedule in the coming weeks:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 7:00am at Our Lady’s

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday at 9:00am at Sacred Heart in the Lower Church

The revised schedule will run from Monday, July 1, to Monday, September 2 (Labor Day). Contact the parish offices with any questions.

*The primary effect of the Sacrament is a spiritual healing by which the sick person receives the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace and courage to deal with the difficulties that accom-pany serious illness or the challenges of old age.

Next Weekend: Annual Missionary Appeal at All Masses The Missionary Society of St. James the Apostle was founded in 1958 by Richard Cardinal Cushing to minister to the needs of the people in South America. The Cardinal, in response to a request made by Pius XII, marshaled a force of diocesan priests to go there and establish the missions in Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. We are an international missionary society whose

members are diocesan priests who devote at least 5 years of their priesthood to the service of “the poorest of the poor” in South America. Currently, we have a group of diocesan priests serving in South America, dealing with the spiritual and material needs of the poor in urban shanti towns and rural villages of Peru.

Our work centers on parishes and foundations in poorer urban neighborhoods or rural districts. The cultures consist of Spanish, Indian and of mixed racial origin. The Society’s approach to ministry following the teaching of Vatican II provided us with a transition from uncritical administration of the sacraments to an integral pastoral approach. Our priests have been involved in traditional priestly work of evangelization such as building churches, catechetical programs, training of catechists, parish renewal following the new image of parish, bible programs, marriage preparation, Christian family movement, mass media apostolate, the Cursillo movement, parish councils, Justice and Peace groups, and charismatic prayer groups.

Priests also work on social projects and programs (maternity clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, nutritional centers, schools, and soup kitchens); community development projects (agriculture cooperatives, credit unions, and community banking); development projects (silk and chocolate); and infrastructure (building of roads, urban water scheme, and bridges).

In the Latin American Church, we find a sense of vitality and growth of a young church in the making!

Next weekend at all Masses, we look forward to being joined by lay missionary Jerome Kiley and mission priest Fr. Isaias Gerali.

I was traveling in Germany several years ago, driving through the countryside. We

came to a little town near Munich and a procession with the Eucharist. The

townspeople and the priests were blessing the fields, asking the Lord to bless the

harvest – for the town and for the poor. I found it all very touching and learned that it

was a very long tradition in this town.

I thought of that story in relation to this feast today and this Gospel. There was the

crowd of people: listening, walking, sitting, listening some more, and walking some

more. Jesus had no home to go to, but they did. The disciples noticed the mesmerized

crowed and told Jesus to send them home. One of the things that I think is true is that

the disciples were experiencing food insecurity. They were getting hungry, and

resources were very thin: they only had five loaves and two fish – and there was a

crowd of 5000 men around! But Jesus makes the far-too-little become more-than-

enough.

A generation later, St. Paul is talking to the Corinthians about the Holy Eucharist, as we

heard proclaimed today. St. Paul speaks purposefully. The Corinthians were intrigued

by the esoteric. They wanted to be spiritual, but they struggled to overcome social

divisions. Their church was divided practically: the rich and the poor. Their Eucharist

happened during a potluck supper, and there was no sharing with those who had

nothing to bring. So St. Paul chides them and teaches them the contrary: Christ and His

Body are in the business of taking what is far too little and making more than enough.

Fittingly, the Newton Food Pantry is giving us that opportunity this weekend, to stock

the shelves for the summer. All the faith communities of Newton are participating. For

us as Catholic sisters and brothers, this isn’t just a gesture of human solidarity. It is our

vocation as the Body of Christ. You can bring food next week or any time that the

pantry is open.

As we feel the long-term effects of the recession, there are many who struggle with

food insecurity. Our vocation is to multiply bread for the hungry. It is an instinct,

sustained and deepened by the Eucharist, which we celebrate over and over again. As

we come to the Eucharist today and are fed by the very Body and Blood of Jesus our

Lord, let us work together to meet the needs of those who are hungry, as we prepare

for the coming of the Kingdom.

Care for Creation: An Emergency Response to Climate Crisis

Faced with a climate emergency, the world must act immediately to mitigate global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoid committing “a brutal act of injustice” on the poor and future generations, Pope Francis told a group of energy and oil executives and global investors, who in their own statement offered support for a price on carbon emissions.

“Time is running out! Deliberations must go beyond mere exploration of what can be done and concentrate on what needs to be done from today onward,” he said.

“We do not have the luxury of waiting for others to step forward or of prioritizing short-term economic benefits. The climate crisis requires our decisive action, here and now,” he said June 14 at the Vatican. -Catholic News Service

Gospel: Jesus sat with his disciples to eat a special meal.

Workcamp...and We’re Off! Our Workcampers depart this Sunday morning for their week of service in Saranac Lake, NY, with Catholic Heart Workcamp (CHWC). Please pray for us as we travel and serve in the week ahead. When we return, there will be photos to share and stories to tell! Look for those in future bulletins. You can also follow along on Instagram during the week @sholnewton

Included here is a photo of our camp t-shirts for this year. They read: “Illuminate the World—CHWC 2019”.

Our camp theme this summer is RADIANT, and we will spend the week exploring our call to live as radiant followers of Christ: to love as He loved, serve as He served, and boldly put our faith into action. By letting our light shine bright and being witnesses for Christ, we recognize that we are designed in His image and, as a result, we are equipped for greatness. Each of us can be a source of light to a darkened world when we lead with love and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, for He assured us in John 8:12 when He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

THANK YOU to all our fellow parishioners who have supported us and helped us get to this point, by your financial help and by your prayers. We are so thankful!

Did You Lose A Family Photo? Last Sunday, June 16, one of our Mass volunteers found a small (about 2”x3”) black and white family photo in the church. It was found in a pew in the back section on the Adams Street side. It is dated May 19, 1968, and is a photo of four people on a couch. If this sounds like it could belong to you or to a family member, please call Ed in the Parish Office.

SVDP Thank You Thanks to all who donated to our clothing drive on June 8-9 and to our food drive last weekend. The clothing has headed to the SVDP thrift stores to help support their mission of service to the poor, while the food donations were toted to Newton Food Pantry this past Wednesday to help feed hungry people in our community.

So...thank you all!

Happy 99th Birthday, Annie Gaudet! Please join us in wishing a very happy 99th birthday to Annie Gaudet. Annie faithfully served as Eucharistic Minister and Altar Server at both weekday and weekend Masses for many, many years. We were happy to celebrate with her and her family this Saturday afternoon. Happy birthday, Annie! May God continue to bless you!
