Welcome to our parishes! If you are new to our community I extend our greetings and invite you to learn more about our current activities in these pages. Our staff directory is found on page 13.
If you would like to become a Catholic or join our parish, please call 978-531-0002 and ask for me, Fr. John, or Fr. Kevin (English and Portuguese) or Fr. Paul (English and Spanish). We would like to meet you and help you make your spiritual home with us. If you are a visitor, we hope and pray that your worship with us today brought you closer to God and to the Church. May God bless you! Fr. John MacInnis, Pastor
Dear brothers and sisters,
As I wrote to you earlier this month our parishes are
reaching out to you. We want you to hear and heed
the call to stewardship. We know that all the good
we have comes from our loving and gracious God:
the time he gives us to live, the talents he gives us to
develop and to use, the treasure that he gives us to
enjoy. Jesus taught us that these are gifts given to
share, not to hoard. The really good news is that
what we give to others in the Lord comes back to us
with multiple blessings. I have known this in my life.
Whatever I give away brings a return, starting with
the joy of having made someone else's life better.
By now you have received my letter asking for you
to support out parish with a special gift in our Grand
Annual Appeal. Many of you have already
respond-ed. Thank you for your generosity, especially at this
time when some in our family of faith are pulling
back. You know that what you give to your parish in
our offertory and Grand Annual collections goes
to-tally to the work of our ministries, the staff who
fa-cilitates them and the buildings where we worship,
learn, serve and enjoy bring neighbors and friends in
the Lord.
This weekend I ask you to choose those who are
willing to serve on our Parish Pastoral Councils.
In the pews are ballots with the names of your fellow
parishioners. Please take a moment to select the
names of those who in your opinion will best provide
good advice to me as we implement the vision of our
parishes.
Besides this role there are many other ways God may
be calling you to serve him. Maybe you are asking
yourself right now...
What can I do? Well, we need everyone to help.
And there are many ways you can serve. In this
bul-letin you will find brief descriptions of ministry and
service opportunities at our two parishes. Take time
to read these over and think about which may appeal
to you.
How do I learn more? Next week after Masses we
will have a Ministry Fair. Tables will be set up
with materials that explain in more detail the
minis-tries and service opportunities of our parishes. At
these tables will be parishioners who participate in
these volunteer activities. They will answer your
questions and help you to decide which opportunity
is right for you.
When do I sign up? The weekend of November 3 -
4 will be "Commitment Weekend." we will have a
brochure in all the pews listing the various ways you
can serve. We will ask everyone to consider signing
up for one or more volunteer roles. There may be a
more limited need in some areas than in others so I
encourage you to check off a few just to be sure that
we will be able to match you up with one that fits!
In today's gospel Jesus shows us the way to follow
him. His disciples James and John ask a favor of
Je-sus. They want the places of glory in his Kingdom.
Jesus asks them if they are willing to drink his cup or
be baptized into his baptism. When their fellow
dis-ciples find out that these brothers are vying for
plac-es of power and honor, they are indignant. Jplac-esus
teaches them all that they should not act like
unbe-lievers who seek power to dominate others. "Rather,"
he said, "whoever wishes to be great among you will
be your servant; whoever wishes to be first will be
the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to
be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom
for many."
(Mark 10:44-45)
Now is the time for you to find your place in the
Kingdom of God by serving others. In doing so, you
will enrich the life of our community and come to
know and love more of our parish family. You will
know the joy of Jesus who gave his all to save us all.
RECONOCIENDO LOS REGALOS DE DIOS & DANDO DE REGRESO EN GRATITUD
Queridos hermanos y hermanas,
Como les escribí a principios de este mes, nuestras parro-quias están llegando a ustedes. Queremos que escuchen y presten atención a la llamada a la administración. Sabe-mos que todo lo bueno que teneSabe-mos proviene de nuestro Dios amoroso y bondadoso: el tiempo que nos da para vivir, los talentos que nos da para desarrollar y usar, el
tesoro que nos da para disfrutar. Jesús nos enseñó que
estos son regalos que se dan para compartir, no para ate-sorar. La buena noticia es que lo que damos a los demás en el Señor nos regresa con múltiples bendiciones. Lo he aprendido en mi vida. Todo lo que regale trae un retorno, comenzando con la alegría de haber mejorado la vida de otra persona.
Para este tiempo ya ha recibido mi carta solicitando que apoye a la parroquia con un regalo especial en nuestra
Gran Campaña Anual. Muchos de ustedes ya han
res-pondido. Gracias por su generosidad, especialmente en este momento cuando algunos miembros de nuestra fami-lia de fe se están retirando. Usted sabe que lo que le da a su parroquia en nuestro ofertorio y en la gran colecta anual se destina totalmente al trabajo de nuestros ministe-rios, el personal que los facilita y los edificios donde ado-ramos, aprendemos, servimos, disfrutamos trayendo veci-nos y amigos en el Señor.
Este fin de semana le pido que elija a aquellos que estén dispuestos a participar en nuestros Consejos Pastorales
Parroquiales. En los bancos hay boletas con los nombres
de sus feligreses. Tómese un momento para seleccionar los nombres de aquellos que, en su opinión, me darán me-jores consejos cuando implementemos la visión de nues-tras parroquias.
Además de este rol, hay muchas otras formas en que Dios puede estar llamándote para que le sirvas. Tal vez te estás preguntando ahora mismo...
¿Qué puedo hacer? Bueno, necesitamos que todos ayuden. Y hay muchas maneras en que puedes servir. En este boletín, encontrará breves descripciones de las oportunidades de ministerio y servicio en nuestras dos parroquias. Tómese el tiempo para leer esto y reflexio-nar sobre cuál puede ser de su agrado.
¿Cómo aprendo más? La próxima semana después de las misas tendremos una Feria de Ministros. Se esta-blecerán mesas con materiales que explican con más detalle los ministerios y las oportunidades de servicio de nuestras parroquias. En esta mesa estarán los feli-greses que participan en estas actividades de volunta-riado. Ellos responderán sus preguntas y lo ayudarán a decidir cuál es la oportunidad adecuada para usted. ¿Cuándo me inscribo? El fin de semana del 3 al 4 de noviembre será el "Fin de Semana de Compromiso". Tendremos un folleto en todas las bancas con una lista de las diferentes formas en que puede servir. Pediremos a todos que consideren inscribirse en uno o más roles de voluntario. Puede haber una necesidad más limitada en algunas áreas que en otras, por lo que le recomiendo que marque varias para asegurarse de que podamos em-parejarlo con una que se ajuste a sus necesidades. En el evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos muestra el camino para seguirlo. Sus discípulos Santiago y Juan le piden un favor a Jesús. Quieren los lugares de gloria en su reino. Jesús les pregunta si están dispuestos a beber su copa o ser bautizados en su bautismo. Cuando sus com-pañeros discípulos descubren que estos hermanos están compitiendo por lugares de poder y honor, están indig-nados. Jesús les enseña a todos que no deben actuar como incrédulos que buscan poder para dominar a otros. "Más bien", dijo, "el que quiera ser grande entre ustedes será su siervo; el que quiera ser el primero será el esclavo de todos. Porque el Hijo del Hombre no vino para ser servido sino para servir y para dar su vida co-mo rescate por muchos”.
(Marcos 10: 44-45)
Ahora es el momento para que encuentres tu lugar en el Reino de Dios sirviendo a los demás. Al hacerlo, enri-quecerás la vida de nuestra comunidad y llegarás a co-nocer y amar más a nuestra familia parroquial. Conoce-rás el gozo de Jesús que lo dio su todo para salvarnos a todos.
Além desse papel, há muitas outras maneiras pelas quais Deus pode estar chamando você para servi-lo. Talvez você esteja se perguntando agora ...
O que eu posso fazer? Bem, precisamos de todos para
ajudar. E há muitas maneiras pelas quais você pode servir. Neste boletim você encontrará breves descrições de oportunidades de ministério e serviço em nossas duas paróquias. Tire um tempo para ler e pensar sobre o que pode apelar para você.
Como eu aprendo mais? Na próxima semana, depois
das missas, teremos uma feira do ministério. As tabelas serão montadas com materiais que explicam mais detalhadamente os ministérios e oportunidades de serviço de nossas paróquias. Nessa mesa estarão os paroquianos que participam dessas atividades voluntárias. Eles responderão às suas perguntas e o ajudarão a decidir qual oportunidade é a certa para você.
Quando me inscrevo? O fim de semana de 3 a 4 de
novembro será o "Fim de semana do compromisso". teremos uma brochura em todos os bancos, listando as várias maneiras de servir. Vamos pedir a todos que considerem se inscrever para um ou mais papéis de voluntários. Pode haver uma necessidade mais limitada em algumas áreas do que em outras. Por isso,
recomendo que você marque algumas delas apenas para ter certeza de que poderemos combinar com uma que se encaixe!
No evangelho de hoje, Jesus nos mostra o caminho para segui-lo. Seus discípulos Tiago e João pedem um favor a Jesus. Eles querem os lugares de glória em seu reino. Jesus pergunta se eles estão dispostos a beber seu copo ou serem batizados em seu batismo. Quando seus companheiros descobriram que esses irmãos estão disputando lugares de poder e honra, se sentiram
indignados. Jesus ensina a todos eles que não devem agir como incrédulos que buscam poder para dominar os outros. "Em vez disso", disse ele, "quem quiser ser grande entre vós será o teu servo; quem quiser ser o primeiro será o escravo de todos. Pois o Filho do Homem não veio para ser servido, mas para servir e dar o seu a vida como um resgate para muitos ".
(Marcos 10: 44-45)
Agora é a hora de você encontrar seu lugar no Reino de Deus servindo aos outros. Ao fazê-lo, você enriquecerá a vida da nossa comunidade e conhecerá e amará mais a nossa família paroquial. Você conhecerá a alegria de Jesus que deu tudo de si para nos salvar a todos.
Deus abençoe.
Pe. John
Caros irmãos e irmãsComo escrevi para você no início deste mês, nossas paróquias estão se aproximando de você. Nós queremos que você ouça e atenda ao chamado para servir.
Sabemos que todo o bem que temos vem do nosso amoroso e gracioso Deus: o tempo que ele nos dá para viver, os talentos que ele nos dá para desenvolver e usar, o tesouro que ele nos dá para desfrutar. Jesus nos ensinou que esses são dons dados para compartilhar, não para acumular. A boa notícia é que o que damos aos outros no Senhor volta para nós com múltiplas bênçãos. Eu soube disso na minha vida. Tudo o que eu dou traz um retorno, começando com a alegria de ter feito a vida de outra pessoa melhor.
Até agora você recebeu minha carta pedindo para você apoiar a paróquia com um presente especial em nossa
Grande Coleta Anual. Muitos de vocês já
responderam. Obrigado por sua generosidade,
especialmente neste momento em que alguns membros de nossa família de fé estão recuando. Você sabe que o que você dá à sua paróquia em nosso ofertório e coleções do Grande Anual vai totalmente para o trabalho de nossos ministérios, o pessoal que trabalha neles e os prédios onde adoramos, aprendemos, servimos e desfrutamos trazendo vizinhos e amigos no Senhor.
Neste fim de semana peço que escolham aqueles que estão dispostos a servir em nossos Conselhos Pastorais
Paroquiais. Nos bancos estão as cédulas com os nomes
dos seus companheiros paroquianos. Por favor, dedique um momento para selecionar os nomes daqueles que, em sua opinião, serão melhores em aconselhar, quando implementarmos a visão de nossas paróquias.

Canned Goods Drive for Thanksgiving
Each year our St. Vincent de Paul Society organizes a special collection of food to share with low-income
fami-lies in our parish. These non-perishable food items ac-company a turkey dinner given to each family for Thanksgiving. If you can help, please bring your
contri-bution to church on the weekend of November 3/4 or
November 10/11. Children in Religious Education and in
St. John’s School may bring the food to class. The cost of providing a Thanksgiving dinner has increased and we are serving more people. If you would like to help us pay
for these dinners you may send your donation to the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Place your donation in the col-lection basket or mail it directly to the Parish Center.
Thank you for sharing what you have with those in need.
“Imposing” values
“Religious faith has long been a cornerstone of the American experience. From the Mayflower Compact, which begins “In the name of God, Amen,” to our Declaration of Independence, we hear loud echoes of our faith in God. It finds expression in our deep-seated conviction that we have unalienable rights from “Nature and Nature’s God.” …To speak out against racial discrimination, social injustice or threats to the dignity of life is not to force values upon society, but rather to call our society to its own, long-accepted, moral principles and commitment to defend basic human rights, which is the function of law.” – Most Rev. Donald Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington, in homily at Red Mass, October 1, 2006.
Please remember the deceased of our Parish and those who were buried from St. Thomas Parish
during the past week. May their souls and the souls of the faithful departed, through God’s
mercy rest in peace. Amen

“Imponiendo” valores
“La fe religiosa por largo tiempo ha sido la
fundación de la experiencia americana. Desde el
Mayflower Compact, el cual comienza “En Nombre
de Dios, Amén” hasta nuestra Declaración de
Independencia, escuchamos fuertes ecos de
nuestra fe en Dios. Encontrando expresión en
nuestras profundas convicciones de que tenemos
derechos inalienables por parte de la “Naturaleza y
por la Naturaleza de Dios”…el hablar contra la
discriminación racial, la injusticia social o las
amenazas a la dignidad de la vida no es imponer
valores sobre la sociedad, sino llamar a nuestra
sociedad a lo que es de ella, a los principios morales
que han sido aceptados desde antaño y el
compromiso a defender los derechos humanos
básicos, lo cual es la función de la ley.” –
Reverendísimo Donald Wuerl, Arzobispo de Washington, en la homilía de la Misa Roja, Octubre 1, 2006.

Leituras do Dia
Is 53,10-11
Sl 32
Hb 4,14-16
Mc 10,35-45
O caminho do discípulo é o caminho do Mestre
Jesus caminha subindo para Jerusalém, para a sua morte, para a sua entrega definitiva, e caminha decid-idamente (cf. Mc 8,32-38). Os discípulos, ao contrário,iam com medo. O medo é falta de fé (cf. 4,35-41). De-pois de cada anúncio da paixão, morte e ressurreição, os discípulos adotam uma atitude inadequada, fruto de
sua incompreensão e do desejo de honra e prestígio, o que contrasta profundamente com a atitude de Jesus
que renunciou a toda honra deste mundo. No evan-gelho de hoje, o foco são os filhos de Zebedeu, Tiago e João, dois dos quatro primeiros discípulos chamados
por Jesus enquanto estavam com o seu pai no barco, no mar da Galileia (cf. Mc 1,16-20). O pedido que eles
fazem a Jesus ocorre depois do terceiro anúncio da paixão. Jesus acaba de anunciar as humilhações e a violência que vai sofrer, e os dois irmãos lhe pedem lugares de honra. Eles não vêm nisso qualquer
contra-dição. Estão cegos. É preciso estarmos atentos, pois isso acontece também conosco, quando buscamos privilégios, vantagens e satisfações pessoais. Tiago e
João, dominados pela cegueira, querem garantir seu lugar, não qualquer lugar, mas um posto de privilégio
“na glória”. Pelos lugares postulados, à direita e à es-querda, querem ainda participar do julgamento de todo
mundo. Ora, o caminho do discípulo é o caminho do Mestre – pois o “discípulo não é maior que o Mestre, mas basta ser como o Mestre” (Mt 10,24-25). É preci-so participação efetiva e afetiva na paixão/morte de Jesus: “podeis beber o cálice que eu vou beber? Ou ser
batizado com o batismo com o qual eu serei batiza-do?”. Essa é a decisão que importa: “Podemos”. É
De-us quem dá a recompensa. Aos discípulos compete a tarefa de construir uma comunidade de serviço gratui-to e generoso, à imitação de Jesus que “não veio para ser servido, mas para servir e dar vida em resgate de muitos”. Não há participação na glória de Cristo sem
passar com ele pela paixão e morte. Pe. Carlos Alberto Contieri, sj
Junte-se a nós para viver a fé enquanto voltamos à
nossa formação espiritual contínua! Este mês
vamos ver e discutir um poderoso 4-parte série em
English chamada
"quem sou eu para julgar?"
onde vamos responder à pergunta: como podemos
falar sobre moralidade em um mundo que já não
acredita na verdade.
As quatro sessões começarão em 18 de outubro e
continuarão a 25 de outubro, Nov. 1 e 8.
A noite vai incluir uma refeição ligeira e começa às
6:00 PM no centro de vida espiritual em St. Thomas

Oração à Santa Teresa D’ Ávila
Deixando teus pais, Teresa, quisestes aos mouros pregar, trazê-los todos a Cristo, ou teu
sangue derramar. Pena porém mais suave o Esposo a
ti reservou: tombares de amor ferida, ao dardo que te enviou. Acende, pois, nossas almas, na
chama do eterno amor: jamais vejamos do inferno o fogo
devorador.
Louvamos contigo ao Filho, que ao trino Deus nos conduz, ele é o Jesus

PARENTS:Come to our 10 AM Mass!
These are our Family Masses for all kinds of families.
Relax! God put the wiggle in children; do not feel you have to suppress it in God’s house.
All are welcome!
Sit towards the front where it is easier for your little ones to see and hear what is going on in the
sanctuary.
Quietly explain the parts of the Mass and the actions of the priest, altar servers, cantor, lector, etc. Children’s missals are available at the back of the church to help your little ones understand the order of the Mass.
Sing the hymns, pray and voice your responds loudly and clearly.
Children learn liturgical behavior by copying you.
Need to step out for a moment with your child during Mass? Please
do so freely as needed. We have a children's corner with a rocker and kiddie's books. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me!”
To all Members of Our Parishes:
Remember: the way we welcome children in church directly affects the way they respond. Let them know that they can feel at home in God’s house. The presence of children is a gift to the Church. They are a reminder that our parish is growing. Your church is their church as well. Please welcome our children and give a smile of encourage-ment to them and to their parents.
NEW! On the following Sundays, our parishes will offer a Children's Liturgy of the Word at our 10 AM Family Masses for all children in grades 1 through 6. Children from both public and Catholic schools are invited.
Dates for Children's Liturgy of the Word (in both parishes):
October 28 and December 23, 2018, January 6, March 31, and April 14, 2019.
On these Sundays, children will come with family to Mass on these days at 10AM.
* Children will leave the main church after the opening prayer. * They will go to the chapel or church hall to hear and learn about
the Scripture readings in a way they can understand.

Catholic Faith?
