This Sunday, May 13, at 8:00 pm, join us for the ancient liturgy of Compline, preceded by Lucernarium, an evening service of lamp-lighting. We pray Compline on the second Sunday of every month at 8:00 pm in the nave. If you wish to help us organize our service of Compline, please contact Kyriell Palaeologue ( [email protected], 617-396-6225) or Fr Jeffrey Hanson ( [email protected]). We need (1) a person in charge of refreshments, (2) a reader of the scripture passage, (3) an acolyte for the Lucernarium and (4) a thurifer.

Mission & Outreach Needs You!
Are you interested in serving your community and bringing the peace of Christ to those in need? Mission and outreach minded people are encouraged to attend a brainstorming meeting on June 3 after the 11:15 Mass in the Library. Mission and outreach plans for the coming year will be discussed and all input is welcomed. Any questions? Contact Pastoral Assistant Eric Fialho at [email protected].

Next Sunday, May 20 Father James and Betsy are hosting a  Newcomers' Brunch.   All newcomers to the parish are invited to attend.  Please make your way to 43 South Russell Street after both the 9:00 am and the 11:15 am Masses.  If you are new to the Advent-i.e, if you started attending during the last year, and/or have never been to a previous Newcomers' Reception-this will be an opportunity for you to meet other members of the parish and some of the parish leadership.  We are glad to have you as a part of our parish family.  43 South Russell Street is a 10 minute walk up Pinckney Street, left on Anderson Street, right on Myrtle Street, and left on South Russell Street.  43 South Russell Street is half way down the street on the left.  See you there!

Sunday's Collect
O God, the King of glory, who hast exalted thine only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph unto thy kingdom in heaven: We beseech thee, leave us not comfortless, but send to us thine Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us unto the same place whither our Savior Christ is gone before; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the same Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
