New & Ongoing in Our Community

From Fr. Dan, Pastor Dear Friends, The “Light of the World” retreat is super special! I intend to be at all of it – it is that awesome. I hope you will consider coming. The Happiness Lab is a great podcast put out by the Yale professor who teaches the most popular course in Yale history (1200 students a semester). The advice is practical, and it comes from the best science on happiness. It is also entertaining. I am loving it. I urge you to check it out. We are glad you are here! If this is your first time, or you are relatively new, we want to let you know we are so thrilled you have joined us for Mass. We hope you feel at home. Welcome, welcome! Also, if you have been here for a long time – how can I ever thank you for all you do for our parishes! Pope Francis on reaching out: “Instead of being just a church that welcomes and receives by keeping the doors open, let us try also to be a church that goes to those who do not attend Mass, to those who have quit or are indifferent.” “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit

the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” – Jesus “God needed someone to shower His love upon. That is why He created us. God is Love.” “When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” – G.K. Chesterton “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” – Saint Mother Teresa Sports: Did the Pats beat the Ravens? How did rookie wide receiver N’Keal Harry do? Another tough game coming up after this weekend’s bye – against the Eagles. Go Pats! BC beat Syracuse last week, leaving us only one game short of being “bowl eligible,” with three games to go. I love the Sox hire of Chaim Bloom – he will renew the farm system.

Love and God bless you, Fr. Dan

Remembering Fr. John: Deadline This Tuesday!

Fr. John’s family wishes to invite all of us to a Mass being offered for him on Saturday, November 23, at 4pm, at St. John the Evangelist in Swampscott, his hometown. All are welcome, and no RSVP is required. Following Mass, Fr. John’s aunt will host a collation at her nearby home. RSVP by this Tuesday, November 12, is required for the collation; please RSVP to Kristina at [email protected] or 617-527-7560 ext.216. The address and directions will then be given.

In addition, please know that the Staff and Pastoral Council continue to have discussions about permanent memorials and dates of remembrance for Fr. John. We welcome your input!

Pastoral Council Meeting Minutes Minutes from our Collaborative Pastoral Council meeting this past Tuesday, November 5, will be online shortly. There is also a photo listing of all current council representatives there, at https://www.sholnewton.org/pastoralcouncil.

November 10 ~ Thirty-Second Sunday of Ordinary Time

Paul’s prayer for the Thessalonians can be our prayer: “May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of Christ.” As people of faith, as disciples, we must bring the Word of God into all aspects of our lives, with our families, with co-workers, and neighbors. We have the confidence to

share the Word of God because “our Lord Jesus Christ...has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace.”

Robert DeSimone Social Justice Forum: Women,

Gender Equality, and the Catholic Church

Sunday, November 24, 4:30-6:00pm, at Sacred Heart Lower Church. A brief history of Catholic theology and teaching on gender and women, up through St. John Paul II and Pope Francis, with reflection about

opportunities for greater equality within “the Church” broadly understood. Our speaker will be Lisa Sowle Cahill, Ph.D., J. Donald Monan, S.J., Professor of Theology at Boston College.

Sponsored by the Collaborative Justice and Peace Committee. Free admission; open to all!

Safe Environment Training Next Sunday Afternoon

Protecting God’s Children Safe Environment Program will be offered next Sunday, November 17, 1:00-3:00pm in the Lower Church Hall at Our Lady’s. Anyone volunteering in the Collaborative in any capacity is required to attend this training once; not attending will affect your ability to volunteer. We sincerely appreciate your commitment to volunteering and to keeping safe all children and vulnerable people among us. Please speak to one of the staff with any questions.

Marriage Banns Sacred Heart & Our Lady’s Collaborative is pleased to

announce the following upcoming marriage:

Maura Strickland and John O’Rourke

Veterans Day—Offices Closed In observance of Veterans Day, both parish offices will be closed on Monday, November 11. Morning Masses will be celebrated as usual. Let us hold in prayer all veterans and those currently serving, as well as their families, that God may protect them from harm and grant them lasting peace.

Help Needed Your help is needed to pick up and bring bread to local area shelters, early on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday morning. If you are able to help, please call Ann Regan at 617-875-1877.

St. Vincent de Paul Update – Would You Like to Help in Our Community?

Would you like to help make a difference in our community? The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) is looking to grow its Community Response Team. SVDP helps people mostly with needs for housing, clothing, and food. Occasionally, we get requests for furniture and household goods. We’ve received requests for items such as an air conditioner, couch, desk, bureau, and kitchen items. When these requests come in, we send an email to our Community Response Team. If someone on this list has the item, we coordinate delivery. And if you

don’t have the item, you simply hit “delete”. All told, we send fewer than 10 requests per year. It’s a volunteer opportunity that takes very little time but could have a very positive impact in the life of a family. The more people on the list, the more likely we’ll be able to help. Would you like to join this team? Please send an email to [email protected].

The Nineteenth Annotation Retreat of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola

An Invitation to Meet Christ in Prayer (in Everyday Life)

A retreat intended to be done in the midst of ordinary, everyday life. The retreat is available for Catholic Adults in a group setting and is offered over the course of 23 weeks. Participants pray with suggested scripture passages daily and meet each week to share their experience of prayer and to prepare for the upcoming week. This year, the exercises will begin on Wednesday, November 20, and conclude April 29, 2020. The group will meet weekly on Wednesdays, 10:00am-12:00pm at Our Lady’s. Mary Ann McLaughlin will direct the Spiritual Exercises. For further information, please contact Mary Ann at 617-686-2287 or [email protected].

Adult Confirmation Preparation Are you an adult who has not yet celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation, or do you know someone who is? It is never too late to be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit! We invite those interested in exploring preparation for Confirmation to reach out. There are two options for those who may be interested in exploring preparation for the Sacrament:

1. Individual preparation through our Collaborative, with a schedule that will reflect your own availability and needs.

2. A group class offered by the West Region of the Archdiocese (of which we are a part). These six sessions will be held on Tuesday nights in Spring 2020: March 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, and April 7. All sessions will be 7:00-8:30pm at St. Zepherin Parish Center, 99 Main St, Wayland.

If you would like to learn more or take part in either option, please contact Nick Frega at 617-969-2248 ext. 111 or [email protected].

It’s Getting to Be That Time of Year… Collaborative Inclement Weather Policy

For weekday morning Masses: if Newton Public Schools are closed or have a delayed opening, the morning Masses at both Sacred Heart and Our Lady’s will be cancelled. This is for the safety of those who attend Mass, and it also allows for the clearing of parking lots and stairways.

For weekend Masses: please check the cancellations list on local TV and radio stations. You can also call either of the par-ish offices at 617-527-7560 or 617-969-2248 (the greeting will have information) or check the sholnewton.org homepage to see if Masses have been cancelled.

For Our Lady’s: If possible, someone will send an email to the ministry list. If you are scheduled for Mass but personally unable to attend due to the weather, please call 617-527-7560 ext.270 and leave a message.

Remember, we each have a duty to keep ourselves and our family safe. If any Mass has an announced intention and is cancelled, that intention will be rescheduled to the next available Mass.

Fr. John Sassani Homily Given on November 11, 2010

Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Liturgical Year C

Homily reflections are also available each week online at www.sholnewton.org/godeeper

Discouragement seems to be a part of life. Perhaps it’s caused by an expanding waistline and a seeming lack of willpower. Perhaps there are weak and fragile relationships in our lives. Perhaps we are hungry for more. Perhaps we are fearful of death. You may be discouraged by some or all of these; I certainly can be sometimes.

People were discouraged in Jesus’ time too. In the conversations that we hear in the Gospel to-day, some people have hope in everlasting life, but some do not.

Two generations later, St. Paul wrote encouraging words to the Thessalonians. One of my favor-ite pieces of Scripture is from Paul’s First Letter to the Thessalonians. It goes, “We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope” (1 Thessalonians 4:13).

In Paul’s Second Letter that we hear proclaimed today, he tells the Thessalonians that they have everlasting encouragement and good hope, through the grace of God. This is not pie-in-the-sky hope. This is not the “power of positive thinking”. This is real hope that comes from the Risen Christ. This hope is not only about life after death. This hope is about reconciling and strengthen-ing those broken or fragile relationships. It is about pushing back against hunger – for example, in the 300 people served at the Shattuck Shelter by our Christian Service Committee with food donated by you. It is about addressing systemic hunger, as in the education provided by the Jus-tice and Peace Committee. It is about having the willpower to persevere, strengthened by grace and prayer.

All of us who are begotten at Baptism and strengthened by the Eucharist are called to live the hope of the Christian life, which culminates in the hope of new and everlasting life in Christ.

Today, as we come to the Eucharist, let’s receive and give the hope that our faith offers us, so that, day by day, we may come closer to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Psalm: Trace the words and

learn to pray like Jesus!

Learn at Mass The person who

proclaims the Scripture readings from the

Lectionary at Mass is called a Lector.

Gospel: The Sadducees were trying to trick Jesus, so they asked

him questions about Heaven. Jesus reminded them that, after people die on earth, they go to Heaven and keep living with God.

Our Lady’s News

Book of Remembrance November is the month of All Souls. During the entire month, you are invited to inscribe the names of all your deceased loved ones in the Book of Remembrance, located in the gathering space of the main church. Let us continue to keep in our hearts and in our prayers all the departed, as well as all the bereaved, that they may find consolation and strength in our shared faith in the resurrection from the dead.

Bristol Lodge Food Request We are in need of jarred tomato sauce (plain, traditional, or marinara is best) and 12-packs of soda for our Confirmation Program, which prepares and serves dinner at Bristol Lodge in Waltham once a month as part of their service formation. If you can help us, please drop items off in the lift-top bins under the stairs on either side of the church. Thanks to your generosity, we do not need any elbow pasta for the time being. Thank you!

Hearing Assistive Devices

We have four hearing assistive devices for parishioners who may have difficulty at Mass. Parishioners can request a device from one of the greeters or from someone in the work sacristy (at the end of the ramp to the right of the sanctuary). Anyone who uses the device is asked to return it to the work sacristy or to a Greeter at the end of Mass. (Note: the devices are linked to the sound system in the church and are not useful anywhere else.)

Religious Education: Another Year Is Underway!

Classes are underway, but there are still open spots in many grades. Contact Rosemary or Kristina to discuss current openings. Forms are online at https://www.sholnewton.org/religious-education-at-our-ladys

Thank you to the approximately 150 people who have stepped forward to share their faith, their time, and their talents in our programs. The parish is so grateful!

Religious Ed for Older Children: Do you have an older child who has never been baptized or never received their First Holy Communion? Do you have a child with special needs who would like to join our program? It’s never too late, and your situation is not as unusual as you may think! We help families with children of all ages, at all levels, in ways that are comfortable for them.

To register or to ask any questions, contact us: Rosemary Seibold (Grades K-5) 617-527-7560 ext. 213, [email protected] Kristina Preman (Grades 6-10) 617-527-7560 ext. 216, [email protected]

Invitation to Serve: Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors & Greeters Needed

Would you like to become more involved in the Our Lady’s community? Consider serving at Mass!

Eucharistic Ministers: We are in need of ministers at all Masses. We are happy to have you serve according to your availability, whether that is every week or once a month. All active and confirmed members of the Church are welcome. Contact Maribeth Scott at 617-469-8110 or [email protected].

Greeters: Greeters are needed in particular for all Sunday Masses. The greeter’s primary role is to welcome all to the celebration. As the community leaves the church, the greeter sends all to take Christ to the world. Greeters may also assist with the collection. Women, men, and youth who are welcoming and caring of others would find this a rewarding ministry. Some couples or families may like to serve together as greeters. Ministers are scheduled according to their preferences and availability. Contact Maribeth at 617-469-8110 or [email protected].

Lectors: We are seeking new lectors at all Masses. Lectors participate in the Mass in a particular way, proclaiming the Word of God in the assembly. To find out more, please contact Chris Graf at 617-332-5548 or [email protected].

A Fun Way to Get Involved Coffee and Donuts has returned to Our Lady’s! In order to make it happen each week, we would love to sign up a few more folks willing to give a half an hour before 10:00am Mass and a half an hour after. We will train anyone interested in being part of this great ministry, and you can commit to as many or few Sundays as you like. Even if you can only help one week, that would make a difference! To sign up or learn more, contact Kate at 617-527-7560 x219 or [email protected].

Grand Annual Collection The 2019-2020 Grand Annual Collection is now ongoing. Thank you to all who contribute to this vital collection!

As of November 6th we have raised $13,770. Our goal is $200,000.

Whether you give $100 or $300; $1,000 or $5,000, your gift will be appreciated as it promotes the wellbeing of Our Lady’s. Thank you for your generous support!

With the holidays approaching, we are in need of approximately 100 volunteers to provide meals for Thanksgiving local families in need by purchasing groceries - you DO NOT cook the meal!

If you are willing to assist, please contact Rosemary at [email protected] or 617-527-7560 ext.213. Please include your contact information (name, phone, and email) and the approximate family size for whom you are willing to provide. Rosemary will send all the details in writing.

Donors are asked to purchase a turkey and all the trimmings and to drop them off at the Our Lady’s Parish Office on Tuesday, November 26, between 3:00pm and 5:00pm. This outreach is being coordinated and provided by the parish, in conjunction with the Saint Vincent de Paul Society.

Thank you for your willingness to share your resources with our neighbors in need!
