Prayer Shawl Ministry Do you know a parishioner, friend or loved one who is sick, going through a difficult time,
experiencing a pregnancy, facing surgery, has lost a
loved one or is homebound? Our Prayer Shawl
Ministry knits and crochets beautiful prayer shawls
for those who could benefit from the warmth of
the shawl, along with the comfort of the prayers
that were said with each stitch! Shawls are blessed
and available at your home Parish Offices.
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 to-
day, take Jesus with you and bring Him to everyone we meet.

you are interested in registering your child you may pick up a registration form at the entrances to our churches, at the BCRE Office located in St. Theresa Hall during the

ensure your child’s place in your first choice time/location. As always, we need teachers, teacher aides and

Help Us Reach Our Catholic
Appeal Goal!
St. Andrew is at 65% of goal, with about $10,000
to reach goal. St. Theresa is at 81% of goal, with
about $12,000 to reach goal. St. Mary is at 77% of
goal, with about $8,000 to reach goal. WE ARE
CLOSE! LET’S WORK TOGETHER TO REACH OUR
GOAL!
The Catholic Appeal supports many ministries at
work here in the Catholic Community of Billerica.
Some examples include the Pro-Life ministry, Small
Group Discipleship (ReachMore); Respect Life Edu-
cation(members of our parish community traveled
to the Witness to Life in Washington, D.C. ); Faith
Formation of Children; Youth Ministry; Parish Ser-
vices; Bereavement Ministry; and Divine Worship
(the RCIA program).
We are blessed to have the support of parishioners
such as yourself. We show our love and thanks to
God by sharing our gifts. Every gift is important, not
so much for how much it is, but because of what
we become through the act of giving it. The Church
itself is one of God’s great gifts.
Remember-if we reach our goal, a % of the
funds are returned to the parish!
