The Redemptorists - Boston`s Basilica

Third Sunday of Easter
From the Rector
Very Rev. Joseph Tizio, C.Ss.R.
One of the beautiful things about the Holy Week celebrations which
touched me deeply was watching everyone work together. Despite
our differences in language and culture, we were all able to worship
as one community, each member helping the other. I was especially
touched with the washing of the feet on Holy Thursday when I saw
everyone working together, literally washing one another’s feet. I have
always said that when we work together, united in our faith, anything is possible. When we are
divided and working separately, nothing wonderful can really happen.
I would like to give you a very simple project that maybe we can work on together. We are
hoping to expand our weekly Sunday bulletin by adding four more pages while still keeping
the beautiful format which we have. We hope to add information about our grammar school,
and also more information for our Haitian and Hispanic communities. So many events are not
placed in the bulletin because we do not have enough space. However, to expand the bulletin
we need to find more businesses who are willing to advertise in order to defray the cost of
the additional pages. You can help by seeking out new advertisers for our bulletin, if there are
businesses which you frequent perhaps you can see if they would be interested in advertising.
If you know of a business owner who would be interested in advertising please share with me
or Fr. Dabney. Inquiries or contacts can be sent to [email protected]
I have learned over the years that faith communities do not move forward in big dramatic leaps
but in small steps taken together. Seeking an advertiser for the bulletin does not sound like
much but it will allow that bulletin to get into more hands and make more people aware of
what a special community the Basilica really is.

FROM THE RECTOR
En Español
Una de las cosas bellas acerca de las celebraciones de la Semana
Santa, que me ha tocado profundamente estaba viendo todos trabajando juntos. A pesar de nuestras diferencias en el lenguaje y
la cultura, todos podemos adorar como una sola comunidad, cada
miembro ayudando al otro. Me tocó sobre todo el lavatorio de los
pies el Jueves Santo cuando vi a todos trabajando juntos, literalmente lavando los pies los unos a los otros. Siempre he dicho que
cuando trabajamos juntos, unidos en nuestra fe, todo es posible.
Cuando estamos divididos y trabajando por separado, nada realmente maravilloso puede suceder.
Me gustaría darles un proyecto muy sencillo que tal vez podamos trabajar juntos. Esperamos ampliar nuestro boletín dominical
semanal por la adición de cuatro páginas más mientras manteniendo el bello formato que tenemos. Esperamos añadir información
sobre nuestra escuela, y también más información para nuestras
comunidades haitianas e hispanas. Tantos eventos no están anunciados en el boletín porque no tenemos suficiente espacio. Sin
embargo, para ampliar el boletín necesitamos encontrar más
negocios que están dispuestos a hacer publicidad en el boletín
con el fin de sufragar el costo de las páginas adicionales. Ustedes
pueden ayudar mediante la búsqueda de nuevos anunciantes para
nuestro boletín. Si hay negocios que ustedes frecuentan tal vez
ustedes pueden averiguar si estarían interesados en la publicidad.
Si ustedes conocen el dueño de un negocio que podría estar interesado en la publicidad, favor de compartir esta información conmigo o con el Padre Dabney. Preguntas y contactos pueden ser
enviados a [email protected].
He aprendido con los años que las comunidades de fe no
se mueven hacia delante en grandes saltos dramáticos pero en
pequeños pasos tomados juntos. Buscando un anunciante para
el boletín no suena como mucho, pero permitirá que el boletín
estaría en más manos y haría más personas conscientes de que la
comunidad de la Basílica es realmente especial.
