Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, I will let you find me" (Jeremiah 29:11-14).
A playtime for young children with their caregivers. This group is designed for parents or caregivers to bring their kids with them and allow them free acess to the gym space at St Peters Hall. During these long winter months the kids can get very stir-crazy so indoor play space is precious! There are No age restrictions for children, but due to school day gathering it is recommended for kids 5 and under. Please follow us on Facebook for weekly updates (or weather related cancellations).

The open gym dates are as follows:

The Swirling Storms

Reflect
It can be a struggle to experience the intensities of life each day. Headlines and heartaches can feel like interruptions to our good intentions. The complexities of being human in relationship with other people and creation means that we regularly feel the swirl of stress, emotions, and uncertainty. In every moment, there is a need, a feeling, and a thought to tend to; the chaos and disorder is stormy.

Pray
Holy One, No matter how intense or confusing life may be, I believe you are with me, and you know all.
You know me and my anguish. You know what feels stormy for me. You know what feels terrible. And you know that I still desire to hope and trust in you.
I do trust that you are holding me and providing for me. I believe you are the source of order in the chaos, offering me shelter in the storm.
Thank you, Lord!

Act
Close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths, and then turn your attention to the sacred space of your human heart. What emotions and thoughts are stirring? Is there a sense of calm and quiet within? Dwell with the reality of the present moment and allow Christ to minister to you, to provide shelter to you in the storm.

Gentle Blessings
 

Gentle Blessings is a small, acappella group of singers who sing at the bedside of folks in need of comfort and a gentle presence through song.

We come to the bedside at the invitation of the family and the nursing facility. We are all parishioners of Mary, Queen of Martyrs Parish (St. Peter, St. Kateri, Our Lady of Lourdes) in Plymouth/Carver.

Our songs are repetitive and soothing with harmony. We prepare music that is both religious and non-religious. Families request which music is preferred. We come into the room for a 10-minute visit and quietly exit after our songs.

Our group is not entertainment. We offer a gentle presence at the bedside of the sick and the dying.

How Does It Work?
 
·        We visit in groups of 3 or 4 singers at a pre-arranged time.
·        We typically sing for 10 minutes.
·        We offer our singing as gentle blessing, not as entertainment.
·        You do not need to clean for us or feed us and we ask nothing in return.
·        We invite families and caregivers to join us in song or to participate by listening.

Please consider joining this ministry to the sick!

10am to 11am.

Spotlight on Vocations
You see the signs. We know the way.
Your life has a great purpose. Do you know what that is? We are here to help guide you on this journey.
Realizing your purpose – your vocation – is a process of spiritual awakening. It is the discovery of who God has made you to be, of the yearnings of your heart, and of the way you are called to give your life.

Jonathan Roumie's Lent: fasting, sharing faith, and a new film on the 'Jesus people'
Gina Christian, OSV News NATION
TUESDAY 28TH OF FEBRUARY 2023

(OSV News) -- This Lent, Jonathan Roumie has a full plate at work -- and an empty one at home, he told OSV News, thanks to some "heavy fasting" he plans to undertake between now and Easter.

"Fasting is super-powerful," Roumie said. "Any time I do it, stuff just starts opening up, and (there's) clarity. I just keep thinking of when the disciples were asking Jesus why they couldn't cast out certain demons, and he (said), 'You've got to pray and fast more.' ... There's a spiritual power that comes from disciplining your body that way."

The actor, who plays Jesus in the streaming hit series "The Chosen," stars in the newly released film "Jesus revolution," portraying evangelist Lonnie Frisbee, a leader of the "Jesus People" movement in Southern California during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The revival saw thousands of youth from the nation's "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll" counterculture flock to churches such as Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California, while imparting to mainstream Christian denominations a new openness to marginalized groups.
Baptismal Robe Ministry
Every child that is baptized at our parish is given a beautiful white robe for their baptism. They are sewn with love and prayer by members of our parish. This sewing ministry is in need of some helping hands. Please reach out if you are interested in helping or if you have questions about our ministry. All materials and any needed directions will be provided. Please reach out to Jenn Spencer at 508-728-1209 if you are interested in helping or if you have questions about our ministry.
Eagle Scout Project for St. Peters 
Hi, I'm Charles King from Scout Troop 1620 Plymouth MA. I'm working on my Eagle Scout project which is installing gym padding along the wall, corner, and door of a newly installed closet in the St. Peter's Parish Center gym. Once the padding is installed, it will open more opportunities for the Parish to be able to participate in sport-related activities. Please consider making a monetary donation for the gym padding, any amount helps. As of right now, I've fundraised $2000 out of the $3000 goal. Thank you all for your generosity and support. Donations can be dropped off at St. Peter's Parish Center or mailed to 10 Memorial Drive, Plymouth, MA 02360. In order for the money to go towards my eagle project, Donations must state "Eagle Project/Gym Padding St. Peters" on the check in the memo line. Thank you.

 DIAPER PANTRY

The demand for diapers continues to increase but so too does your generosity with diaper and monetary donations! Thanks to your support we are able to continue to keep area babies in need clean and dry. Babies average about 7 changes per day; in the first year, a baby will require approximately 2,500 diapers, and many families have more than one child in diapers at once. 

Diaper donations can be dropped off at the entrances of our three churches before or after Mass, during regular Diaper Pantry hours at St. Kateri, or at the church offices during open hours (St. Kateri: Monday and Thursday 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.; Our Lady of Lourdes: Tuesday and Friday 8:30 – 12:30 p.m.; St. Peter: Monday through Friday 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.) For questions contact Jeanne at 508 – 591- 3510 or PCCDiaperPantry@yahoo.com

JOIN US FOR AN IMPORTANT, INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION
ON THE SCOURGE OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO STOP IT! 
TRAFFICKED. RECOVERED.REDEEMED.
JASMINE GRACE, SURVIVOR AND AUTHOR
SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 2023 10am-Noon
PLYMOUTH NORTH HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
 
Please join us to hear Jasmine's powerful testimony and to learn more about sex trafficking, addiction, and recovery from a Survivor's perspective. Along with Mary, Queen of Martyrs Parish, this presentation is co-sponsored with the Office of the District Attorney, Plymouth County, and the Plymouth Police Department. The public is invited, and no pre-registration is required.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING PRESENTATION – AN UPDATE
On March 8, dozens of parishioners from all three of our churches gathered with Fr. Joe and those from neighboring parishes to hear from Sr. Betsy Goodwin, OSF and Sr. Marilyn McGoldrick, CSJ who shared their work, impelled by the Gospel, to help restore the dignity of those who are victims of human trafficking, which is defined as “taking a person, by force, for profit.” There are 50 million people who are trafficked globally, and this is the second largest organized crime industry in the world, second only to the drug trade. Annual profits exceed $150 billion, more than twice that of the largest corporations in the world.
In addition to the shocking statistics, Sr. Marilyn and Sr. Betsy shared stories…a trafficked sweat shop worker who sewed ‘help me’ into the collars of the shirts she was forced to assemble; a domestic worker who was locked inside of the house in which she worked…in Cambridge, MA; a high school student trafficked under threats to her family by an older classmate; and many more.
The Sisters emphasized that this is a crime occurring in our own backyard. And yet there is hope, and things that we can all do: pray for an end to trafficking; educate ourselves; raise awareness; be a responsible consumer; be alert but never intervene – contact the authorities; advocate with lawmakers for trafficking victims; and join efforts to help restore the lives broken by this crime.
One way to help is to support the Sisters’ project, ‘Bags of Love’, which provides needed goods to survivors who are escaping to safe houses. As one recipient of a bag wrote to Sr. Marilyn “…you make my nights safer.” Please watch for more information which will be provided soon about how you can participate in this project and help to restore the dignity of those victimized by this horrific crime.

Why Was There Extra?


I am driving down the road toward my favorite walking site. It’s humid, but nothing like it was yesterday. I’m overwhelmed. I can’t even finish reading any articles right now. International news, social issues, issues of faith. Just as one violent or tumultuous news story recedes, the next one appears. I live in a scorched world. What can I bring? I try to be true in who I am, clear in my refusal to give in to cynicism. I don’t talk of Christ, though, not outside of church. I code-switch all the time. I offer freely, in many conversations, “I have a very deep faith,” but I don’t often mention Jesus. I keep him as a hidden indwelling, like my heartbeat; he’s there, soft—can anyone hear it? The fragments of love are not lost, scattered things, but are within me as I drive the S-shaped road I’ve driven down hundreds of times before. The miracle speaks into the scarcity in me, reaching at last to the place of enough. Why didn’t he create just exactly what everyone in the crowd that day needed? Certainly he could have. Why was there extra, so much? I think the unequivocal answer is: he never measures and weighs, doesn’t count, keep score, or tally what is given. He just gives. A feeling wells up and overtakes me: He just wants to feed all of us. And before I know it, I’m crying, envisioning the people around the world with our divisions disappearing. Billions and billions of us with no labels, no names, no groups, no separations. Just all of us, human beings, calling out together on this planet. Can you hear our canticle?

Liturgy of the Hours for Lent 2023
Many voices, One Church, One prayer!
Word on Fire
 
Mary, Queen of Martyrs Parish will be praying the Divine Office: Evening Prayer/Vespers on Tuesday evenings at 7PM during Lent 2023.
 ALL are invited to come to pray this beautiful prayer of the Church.
The Liturgy of the Hours is an ancient, structured way of praying Scripture throughout the day, focusing especially on the Psalms. It hearkens back to the Jewish custom of praying at fixed hours, a practice early Christians continued. By the medieval period, monks chanted the entire Psalter, all 150 Psalms, throughout each week, and sometimes in a single day!
Eventually, this form of prayer became known as the Liturgy of the Hours, also called the Divine Office. It is a liturgy because, like the Mass and other sacraments, it is a public prayer of the Church, Christ’s Mystical Body, as distinct from private devotions such as the Rosary, novenas, or personal prayer.
Its purpose is to sanctify the day and the whole range of human activity. It does this by bathing the morning, afternoon, and evening in prayer, so that “the whole course of the day and night is made holy by the praises of God.” (Bishop Robert Barron, Word on Fire)

The Schedule for Lent 2023 is as follows:

Virtual Lenten Retreat
A Path of
Pain and Love
Monday, March 27th thru Thursday, March 30th
 In your own home, at your own time

What the participants said last year:
A Path of Pain and Love Retreat made this Easter Holiday extra special.
·        The Lenten Retreat came at a perfect time as we prepare to enter into Holy Week. I found the time each day to be a sacred space, an intimate time to be with Christ as He suffered His passion.
·        A loving way to end Lent. After a series of losses in the past couple of years, the retreat gave me a much-needed perspective as to how to accept things that we cannot change.
·        I found this particular Retreat both moving and comforting in preparation for Holy Week. It gave me a deeper more personal experience of Christ's Unconditional Love, Passion, and Sacrifice for our Salvation.
·        The best of all is that we have the recordings, and we can listen again and meditate on the passion of Christ at any time.
·        Thank you for inviting us to this retreat. It helped me a lot to immerse myself in Lent and be prepared for Holy Week. 
·        This retreat made me look and think at the events leading up to Christ’s resurrection in a whole different manner. 
 
Each day you will receive, by email or WhatsApp, the retreat materials containing a PDF file with the retreat's content for the day and audio files with talks, prayers, and songs.

This presentation will be on end-of-life decisions that must be made by the family. In many cases this is avoided by the person or the family. It will touch on Anointing of the Sick, questions to ask or letting your family know what you want. Representatives from our local Funeral Homes will be there and will answer questions in a more relaxed and less stressful atmosphere than when you have to plan a funeral.
 
Please come and join us. Please email Rick Leopardi at rflcfd114@aol.com and let him know which date you will attend.
