Welcome Visitors
We wish to extend a warm welcome to all who attend Mass with us each weekend as visitors to St. Richard Parish.
We are happy to have you with us. Please introduce yourself to our pastor, Fr. Flannagan, at the back of the Church at the
end of Mass.
~ ~~~~ All Are Welcome ~ ~~~~
We would like to extend a warm and caring invitation to you to join our parish. We look forward to having you become a
member of our faith community. Each individual member of our Parish is an important part of the Catholic family. The
gifts of faith from the Lord are strengthened and deepened by our Communion in Jesus Christ. The celebration of the
Eucharist is the heart of our parish life. Come share your “faith”, your time and your talent in one of
our wonderful ministries. There are white registration envelopes on the back table
or call our office at 978-774-7575

Scripture for the week of September 17, 2017

24th Sunday in Ordinary Time It’s amazing how the smallest home improvement can make
someone feel so much better. A room gets cleaned, a new
shelf is installed, an old door gets fixed, or a room gets
painted and suddenly everything looks different and feels
better. Those small changes can make a big difference in our
attitude and the way we look at things. A simple home
improvement can make a huge impact and change our whole
perspective.
If a physical change can be so dramatic, a better relationship
or a more positive attitude or improved communication can be
even more dramatic. There are always bumps and bruises in a
family. We live together and in such close contact there are
sure to be moments of disagreement, irritation and conflict.
But when we add forgiveness, tolerance and love, everything
changes. We feel better, relieved and relaxed and our whole
perspective changes. A little improvement goes a long way in
changing our perspective about ourselves and about those we
love.
So what holds you back? How difficult can it be to say “I
forgive you” or “I’m sorry”? Does it really matter whose fault
it is, or how you got off track. A fresh start—a little in-house
improvement—is free for the asking, free for the accepting
and priceless for the results. Upgrade your house today.
Everyone will benefit.
