Greeting,
Good morning. Linked below find my homily for this week, the Third Sunday of Easter, offering my own convoluted re-reading of the passage from Acts 3 that is our first reading. (I tried this out orally at the Mass recorded on Friday for the weekend, and will try once more at the 10am Mass on Sunday!)
In our still gloomy times, on a too cold April weekend, let us do what we can to help others and ourselves to find our way back to the Lord, to get up, and walk, to dance, and to celebrate life.
~ Fr Clooney

He Got Up and Began to Dance

Each year at this time, we launch the “Catholic Appeal.” It is an appeal to ask for your support for central ministries of the Archdiocese. (View Video)

Whenever I think of this, I think of Catholic Charities. Having served on a regional board, I am aware first hand of the work they do. Whoever comes to their door receives help. An American Cardinal once said: “We don’t help them because they’re Catholic; we help them because we’re Catholic. Much could be said also of Catholic Schools where by some accounts, 24 percent of the students aren’t Catholic and many students come from poor and underserved communities.

Our parish has received support and comprehensive guidance from a Pandemic Response Team. Recently, the Archdiocese provided to us at OLOS the services of a building expert to assess our properties and provide reports on each of our buildings and their current and future maintenance needs. We avoided the substantial cost that we received in a bid from a private contractor for the same work.

Tools and resources to reach out to parishioners through virtual evangelization were also made available. Couples preparing for marriage were able to be referred to the Transformed in Love marriage preparation ministry.

I understand that these are challenging times, but if you are able, I ask you to join me in supporting the “Catholic Appeal” by making a commitment of your own. If you have already responded to a letter or an email from Cardinal Sean, thank you. If you haven’t had a chance to give, envelopes are available in the church or you can go online to make your donation at bostoncatholicappeal.org.

I can assure you that your contribution has an immediate and lasting impact. Thank you.
