Séptimo Domingo de Pascua St. Mary Parish, Waltham June 1, 2014 My brothers and sisters in Christ, I want to offer a warm welcome to Father Agustín Anda who will begin serving as a parochial vicar of Saint Mary’s next week. Father David and I are grateful to God that Cardinal O’Malley assigned Fr. Agustín to be with us. His presence is a great gift to us and to all of the parishioners – sacramentally, spiritually and fraternally. Fr. Augustín is no stranger to Saint Mary’s. A few years ago, he stayed with us for a summer so he is familiar with much of the daily routine. Fr. Agustín often celebrated the 11:30 a.m. Mass. Fr. Agustín looks forward to getting to know everyone at the parish and wants to minister to everyone in need in the parish. As he wrote in his letter (below), Fr. Agustín comes from Mexico yet he studied at Saint John’s Seminary in Brighton and was ordained for service in the Archdiocese of Boston in 2004. Fr. Agustín has a great love for the Eucharist. He has led numerous pilgrimages to the Holy Land and loves bringing others to the places where our Lord performed his ministry in the flesh. Please introduce yourself to Fr. Agustín and welcome him to Saint Mary’s when you see him. Congratulate him on ten years of priesthood! We hope this one is his best year yet. – Father Michael Dear Parishioners, I am the new priest who will begin serving on June 3rd along with Fr. Michael and Fr. David. I am a Mexican American Citizen, born in León, Gto. México. One of ten children, from a Catholic and Pro-Life family, as you can see. God Bless my parents, both are deceased. My four sisters and five brothers live in Mexico. I studied Philosophy and Theology at Saint John’s Seminary. I was ordained a priest ten years ago, on May 22, 2004 at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston. My last assignment was at Saint James and Saint John the Baptist Parishes in Haverhill. I pray that as we know each other better, we can work together for unity and harmony in our parish. Please pray for me. I will pray for you and with you. - Father A gustín A nda FR. DAVID’S WORK IN RURAL UGANDA Please join Father David Ssentamu on the weekend of June 28 & 29 following all of the Masses for a 15-minute exhibition of his healthcare work in one of the rural health centers in Uganda. For the last two years Father David has made visits there with a medical team from around New England. Don’t miss seeing this inspiring exhibition! Refreshments will be served. ANOINTING OF THE SICK The next Mass with the anointing of the sick is scheduled for this Monday, June 2 at 12:10 p.m. Anyone in need of physical healing is encouraged to come forward for the anointing. Anyone who is physically healthy is encouraged to come and pray for the sick.

ST. VINCENT de PAUL Last Thursday as we celebrated the feast of the Ascension we were reminded that Christ’s saving work on earth continues through his disciples…and now through us. When we give to the poor, God indeed pours his love, peace and joy into our hearts, into our lives and into the hearts of those who are poor. We see the poor all around us and we long to respond to their needs, and so we pray: Spirit of God, fill us with your power. The hungry search for sustenance of body and spirit, may we empty ourselves to reach out to them. Many children are abused or live in poverty and fear, may we be advocates for all those who feel unprotected. Victims of violence cry out for justice, may we hear their cries and work for change. For the grace of being called to serve the poor, we give you thanks and praise! Amen. Seventh Sunday of Easter 3 Santa María de Waltham 1 de junio de 2014 WEDNESDAY ADORATION We’ve been considering stopping Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on Wednesdays. There are times when no one shows up. Last week, Darcie Nielsen of Live The Fast offered to set up an online schedule to see if people would commit to a specific time. Please consider signing up to pray before the very presence of Our Lord. The sign-up schedule is available at our website stmarywaltham.org. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease. St. Pope John Paul II Dominicai Cenae, February 1980 SIGN UP FOR WEDNESDAY ADORATION AT stmarywaltham.org FUTURE PARISH COLLABORATION Parishioners of the three parishes met four times in the past few months. Subsequent to these meetings, a report was written summarizing our conclusions. This process was requested by the Archdiocese in preparation for future collaboration whenever that may happen. The report includes an inventory of properties of the three parishes and how they might be used in the future. To read the report, please visit our website stmarywaltham.org or request a copy from the office. BUY BAKED GOODS AND HELP A VOCATION My name is Jackie Zuppe, and I am a young woman from the Waltham area. After much discernment, I have been accepted into a consecrated religious community known as the Sisters of Life. Their mission is to uphold and enhance the sanctity of human life, and they especially work with vulnerable women in crisis pregnancies. In order to enter on September 6 of this year, I must be completely free from my college debt. Apart from working two jobs, I have been fundraising and inviting parishioners from all around to help me give Christ my full and free "yes". Next weekend, June 7 & 8, I will be holding a donation-based bake sale to help contribute funds toward my loans. If you love sweets, or just want to help me in my goal to enter religious life, please stop by and say hello. I look forward to seeing you! ITALY PILGRIMAGE Join Fr. Agustín Anda for a pilgrimage to Italy from September 15-25, 2014. Visit Venice, Padua, Florence, Assisi, and Rome with Vatican City and the Audience with Pope Francis, if available. Cost is $3,499. For more information please call 978-372-8537 x 207 or email [email protected]. 4 SPIRITUAL TEACHING OF DESERT MONKS We need works, not words Abba James said, ‘We do not need words only; at the present time, there are many words among people. Rather, we need works, for this is what is required, not words that do not bear fruit’ CATHOLIC APPEAL 2014 Thank you to all who have pledged their support of the 2014 Catholic Appeal. So far our parish has raised $22,634.75 from 188 participants, reaching 83% of our parish goal of $27,425. If you have not yet participated in the Appeal, you can make your pledge by completing one of the forms available at the back of the church. You may also pledge your support at www.BostonCatholicAppeal.org. CHARLOTTE SMITH BENCH DEDICATION On Pentecost Sunday next week, members of Charlotte Smith’s family and friends will gather outside after the 10 a.m. Mass to dedicate a bench made in her honor. So many of us miss her presence. It is hard to think of Saint Mary’s without Charlotte. The bench, facing the Crucifix, is meant to be another place where people can come and pray to their Lord just as she did when she was alive. We invite everyone to attend this Mass and then join us outside for the dedication. FUNDRAISING CONCERT FOR KENTUCKY Parishioners (and singers!) Kateri and Maria Thekaekara will be participating in a mission trip to Eastern Kentucky from August 9-16. This Appalachian Service Retreat is to one of the poorest regions of our country, where they and other volunteers will help with projects needed in the local community. To help defray their costs, Kateri and Maria will be holding a fundraising concert on Saturday, June 7 from 12:00-3:00 p.m. in the lower hall. Please come and enjoy these sisters’ beautiful voices as they praise God. No donation is too small; every little bit helps. GRADUATION GIFT IDEA Looking for a great gift for a new graduate? Consider giving a 133 CLUB NUMBER! Each month the 133 Club distributes $2,000 in awards ranging from $1,000 to $25. A number costs $5 per month and an annual membership is $55. It’s a unique gift and it helps the parish. Your gift just might be a winner. Call the parish office for more information. BAZAAR ITEMS FOR SAINT CHARLES Volunteers at St. Charles are already planning for their annual bazaar on October 25. If you have some treasures or practical items that you no longer want or need, please consider donating them to St. Charles to be sold at their bazaar. They cannot accept books, luggage, exercise equipment, TVs, or electronics. To arrange a drop off of your items, please call the parish office. Séptimo Domingo de Pascua St. Mary Parish, Waltham June 1, 2014 SCRIPTURE OF THE WEEK We encourage everyone to continue reading the Acts of the Apostles this week … ACTS OF THE APOSTLES – CHAPTER 13 PART 3 Paul’s Address in the Synagogue. So Paul got up, motioned with his hand, and said, “Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen. The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt. With uplifted arm he led them out of it and for about forty years he put up with them in the desert. When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance at the end of about four hundred and fifty years. After these things he provided judges up to Samuel [the] prophet. Then they asked for a king. God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. Then he removed him and raised up David as their king; of him he testified, ‘I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish. From this man’s descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus. John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel; and as John was completing his course, he would say, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.’ PLEASE DONATE FOOD FOR THOSE IN NEED Thank you for continuing to donate to our St. Vincent de Paul pantry. It always needs re-stocking! You may leave your donations at the back of the church. Current needs: canned fruits & veg. dish & laundry detergent canned soup napkins cereals & baking mixes paper towels pasta & spaghetti sauce soap peanut butter & jelly toilet paper tuna & canned meats toothpaste IGNATION VOLUNTEER CORPS Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) New England is now recruiting volunteers and placements for its 2014-2015 year of service. IVC New England volunteers give two days of service per week in non-profits in Boston, Worcester, Providence and surrounding communities. Volunteers also meet monthly for spiritual reflection in the Jesuit tradition. The term of service is from September to June. Please spread the word to anyone who might be interested in becoming an Ignatian Volunteer or to non-profit agencies who might be interested in sponsoring Ignatian Volunteers. For more information, contact Dave Hinchen, IVC NE Regional Director at [email protected], or go to www.ivcusa.org/newengland. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT THE CREED Last year we began including questions and answers about each line of the Creed to remind us what we mean when we profess our faith. We will continue to do so until we reach the end of the prayer. From the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church… • Why does ecclesial ministry also have a personal character? Ecclesial ministry also has a personal character in as much as each minister, in virtue of the sacrament of Holy Orders, is responsible before Christ who called him personally and conferred on him his mission. • What is the mission of the Pope? The Pope, Bishop of Rome and the Successor of Saint Peter, is the perpetual, visible source and foundation of the unity of the Church. He is the vicar of Christ, the head of the College of bishops and pastor of the universal Church over which he has by divine institution full, supreme, immediate, and universal power. • What is the competence of the college of bishops? The college of bishops in union with the Pope, and never without him, also exercises supreme and full authority over the Church. • How do the bishops carry out their mission of teaching? Since they are authentic witnesses of the apostolic faith and are invested with the authority of Christ, the bishops in union with the Pope have the duty of proclaiming the Gospel faithfully and authoritatively to all. By means of a supernatural sense of faith, the people of God unfailingly adhere to the faith under the guidance of the living Magisterium of the Church. ELDERLY HOUSING The City of Waltham is accepting applications for elderly housing for the Nahum Hardy Residences located at 51 Lake Street. Applications are available by contacting the Waltham Housing Division at 781-314-3380. One and two bedroom units are available.

On Saturday, June 7 the Project Rachel ministry of the Archdiocese of Boston will offer a retreat where women in pain from past abortions are invited to experience the healing love and forgiveness of God. For more information and registration information, contact Project Rachel at 508-651-3100 or [email protected]. All calls are confidential. Seventh Sunday of Easter 5 Santa María de Waltham 1 de junio de 2014 Mis hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, Quiero ofrecer una cálida bienvenida al Padre Agustín Anda quien estará sirviendo a nuestra parróquia de Santa María como vicario parroquial empezando la semana próxima. Tanto el Padre David como su servidor estamos muy agradecidos a Dios que el Cardenal O’Malley haya asignado al Padre Agustín a estar con nosotros. Su presencia es un gran regalo sacramental, espiritual y fraternal para nosotros como para todos en la parroquia. Hace algunos años el estuvo con nosotros por un verano, por lo tanto el ya esta familiarizado con gran parte de la rutina diaria. De hecho, celebró frecuentemente la misa de las 11:30 a.m. Seguramente alguno de ustedes lo recuerda. El Padre Agustín ha dirigido varios peregrinajes a Tierra Santa y le encanta llevar a otros a los lugares por donde Jesús anduvo predicando en carne propia. El Padre Agustín esta muy emocionado de venir y no puede esperar para conocerlos a todos y continuar con su sacerdocio en nuestra parroquia. Por favor acércate a el cuando lo veas y dale la bienvenida. ¡Felicidades por diez años de sacerdocio! Padre Michael CARTA DEL PADRE AGUSTIN ANDA Queridos fieles de la parroquia de Santa María, soy el sacerdote nuevo que se unira al Padre Michael, nuestro párroco y el Padre David, el Vicario, para servirles. Soy MexicoAmericano, nacido en León, Gto. México. Uno de diez hijos, de una familia católica y pro-vida, como pueden ver. Dios bendiga a mis padres, los dos fallecieron. Mis cuatro hermanas y cinco hermanos viven en México. Estudié filosofía y teología en el Seminario de St. John en Brighton y me ordené hace diez años el 22 de Mayo de 2004 en la Catedral de la Santa Cruz en Boston. Las últimas parroquias que he servido son Santiago Apostol y San Juan Bautista en Haverhill, MA. Le pido a Dios que al mismo tiempo que nos conocemos mejor, trabajemos juntos por la unidad y harmonía en nuestra parroquia. Pidan a Dios por mí; yo oraré por ustedes y con ustedes. Padre Agustin Anda VENTA DE REPOSTERIA Me llamo Jackie Zuppe y soy una joven de Waltham. Después de mucho discernimiento, he sido aceptada en la congregación religiosa Hermanas por la Vida. Su mision es la de mantener y mejorar la santidad de la vida humana. Ellas trabajan especialmente con mujeres vulnerables embarazadas. Para poder entrar el 6 de septiembre de este año debo saldar mi deuda de la universidad. Además de tener dos trabajos, he estado haciendo otras actividades para recaudar fondos como la venta de reposteria que tendre los dias 7 y 8 de Junio en Santa Maria después de las misas. Por favor, apoyame en lograr mi meta de entrar a la vida religiosa, Gracias. 6 “El nudo que hizo Eva con su desobediencia, María lo desato con su obediencia”. San Ireneo de Lyon OFERTORIO 916 personas asistieron a las primeras cuatro misas el pasado fin de semana contribuyendo con $4,655 a la colecta semanal. Se recolectaron, además, $703 de la misa de 1:30 p.m., el 18 de mayo y $229 de la colecta especial. Mil Gracias. FUTURA COLABORACIÓN PARROQUIAL Se ha escrito un reporte sumarizando la conlusión de las cuatro juntas que se llevaron a cabo con feligréses de las tres parroquias. Este proceso fue solicitado por la Arquidiocesis para la preparación futura de la colaboración, cuando sea que ésta suceda. El reporte incluye un inventario de las propiedades de las tres parroquías y de como pueden ser usadas en el futuro. Si desea leer el reporte visite nuestra pagina stmarywaltham.org o solicite una copia en la rectoría. CHARLOTTE SMITH– DEDICATORIA La semana entrante, el domingo de Pentecostés, familiares y amigos de Charlotte Smith se reunirán después de la misa de 10:00 a.m. para la dedicatoria de la banca hecha en su honor. Muchos de nosotros extraña su presencia. Es difícil pensar en St. Mary sin Charlotte. La banca, que se encuentra justo enfrente del crucifijo, esta destinada a servir como otro lugar más para hacer oración, justo como ella lo hacia cuando estaba entre nosotros. Los invitamos a asistir a la misa de las 10:00 a.m y después reunirse afuera para la dedicatoria. Oración A LA DIVINA PROVIDENCIA Divina Providencia! Nada somos, nada tenemos, nada valemos; por eso, llenos de fé y de confianza nos acercamos a tu trono, para pedirte que durante este mes, que hoy principia, nos veas como cosa tuya, nos libres de todo mal, de todo pecado, de toda ocasión de pecar; nos libres de una muerte repentina y de morir sin los últimos sacramentos. Venimos a pedirte que bendigas nuestro trabajo para que éste, honradamente rinda. Que en nuestras casas no falte el pan, nos consueles en todas nuestras penas y nos remedies todas nuestras necesidades espirituales y temporales. Divina Providencia, en Tí creemos, Divina Providencia, de Ti lo esperamos todo. Así sea. Tu Divina Providencia se extienda en cada momento. Para que nunca nos falte: casa, vestido y sustento. Ni los santos sacramentos en el último momento. (Tres veces) Séptimo Domingo de Pascua
