In just a couple of weeks, we will be launching our parish’s annual Catholic Appeal. As you may know, the Catholic Appeal funds the 51 Central Ministries of the Archdiocese that support our parish on a daily basis—especially as we continue to navigate the pandemic. You may have already received a letter from Cardinal Seán asking for your early support. If you are able, please consider responding to that request to help our parish meet our Appeal goal early. You can offer your support by going online to bostoncatholicappeal.org to make your gift at any time or scan the QR code above. Thank you for your support!
Thank you for your care and concern for Fr. Mike McNamara. Although he tested positive for the coronavirus, Fr. Mike was completely asymptomatic. His quarantine ended on Monday so you will soon see him back in action around our Collaborative parishes.
Lenten Study
Join us virtually this Lent for Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist

When: Mondays 6:30- 8pm, 4 weeks starting February 22nd
Where: Zoom
Although the Eucharist appears to be simple bread and wine, it is actually the “source and summit” of the Christian life. Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist explores the truth and beauty of Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist, from its origins in Sacred Scripture to its profound role in the life of the Church and its members. The Eucharist is the crescendo of the entire story of salvation.

In advance of each weekly session, participants watch the video on FORMED. On Mondays, the group gathers via ZOOM to discuss the study guide questions for each episode.
SCHEDULE:
⊲ Week One:
Episode 1: God is With Us
⊲ Week Two:
Episode 2: The Story of the Eucharist

An Online 6-Week Lenten Book Discussion

The New World of Faith, a book by the late Cardinal Avery Dulles, will be the focus of a series of 6 weekly, 1-hour Zoom sessions led by Father George Evans, pastor of Holy Name Parish in West Roxbury / Roslindale.

The book presents a readable overview of the essential teachings of Catholicism for thinking readers who are not necessarily expert in theology.

Each Zoom session will include: a short summary of the 2 chapters (25-28 pages) that all will have read, participants' discussion and questions, application of content to Catholic life and worship, as well as a brief preview of the following week's material. Reading the designated pages in advance of each session is essential.

  • Sessions will be the 6 Lenten Sundays (February 21 - March 28), 7:45 - 8:45pm.
  • The book is affordably available, used or new, through online bookstores.
  • Free registration for the Zoom series needs to be arranged by February 15 Email: frevans@holynameparish.com

Projects in memory of Sister Tania

We are in the process of having a stained glass window designed and fabricated for the lower church at St. Paul in memory of our dear Sr. Tania, the former Religious Education Director at St Paul who passed away in September, 2019. The window will be a depiction of her love and dedication to the children of our parish. We will be collecting donations to help fund this project. Any funds received beyond the cost of the project will go toward the "Pennies for Peru" initiative.

If you would like to contribute to the these projects in memory of Sr. Tania, please use the link below or send a check to St. Paul Parish noting "Sr Tania projects" (or "Pennies for Peru" specifically) in the memo line. Thank you for your continued love for Sr. Tania.
