Will You Sponsor a Child?
CAN YOU PAINT, SCRAPE OR DO
SIMPLE REPAIRS?
Every school year St. John’s School receives many requests for tuition financial aid. This year there is a substantial
increase in the need for tuition financial assistance. Many families want their children to have
the Catholic education experience but the tuition
expense is a financial burden and they struggle to
keep their children in our school year to year. If
you or someone you know would like to be a contributor to a Catholic school education for one of
our deserving students, please contact the school
office at (978) 531-0444. Ext. 336. Any amount
donated toward tuition assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank You!
We are calling all “weekend warriors” who
would like to join our parish repair and improvement team. Over the years our team has painted several rooms and areas in our church hall and parish center,
and made repairs to walls, floors and cabinets. We would
welcome your skills. We will work around your availability. Many projects take place on weekends but you can let
us know what time you have to help. Using volunteer help
has saved us huge amounts of money and built friendships
as well. If you want to help, please call Wanda at 978-5310002. THANKS!

Arzobispo: No podemos comulgar y permanecer egoístas o indiferentes,
violentos o intolerantes
VALENCIA, 30 Jun. 11 / 09:02 pm (ACI/Europa Press)
El Arzobispo de Valencia (España), Mons. Carlos Osoro, afirmó este domingo que "no podemos
seguir comulgando y permanecer egoístas o indiferentes, violentos o intolerantes", sino que hay
que "tomar conciencia de que comulgar la carne de Cristo nos lleva a ser generosos, pacientes,
comprensivos y comprometidos", en especial, "con los que más sufren".
Durante la homilía en la Misa dominical en la Catedral de Valencia con motivo de la solemnidad
del Corpus Christi, el Prelado ha insistido en que "al participar en el Eucaristía, nos llenamos de
la vida de Jesús Resucitado y necesitamos hacer partícipe de esta vida a nuestros hermanos y
hermanas", según ha informado el Arzobispado en un comunicado.
Además, el Arzobispo ha alertado sobre el momento que está viviendo la sociedad, en España y
en Europa, "donde existe una necesidad mayor de vincularnos en el misterio de la Eucaristía",
para "permanecer al lado de los que más sufren, entregarnos y servirles".
A este respecto, el Prelado ha recordado la celebración del Día de la Caridad y ha expresado su
agradecimiento "de manera especial a todos los voluntarios de Cáritas".
Así, ha alentado a los ciudadanos a estar disponibles para "todos los que sufren el drama del
hambre, la soledad de los ancianos, la angustia del desempleo y las adversidades que afrontan
los inmigrantes", así como para "tantas personas que necesitan nuestro apoyo, servicio y solidaridad".
Por otra parte, Mons. Osoro ha mostrado su agradecimiento a todas las personas que colaboran
en las manifestaciones que existen en Valencia en torno a la fiesta del Corpus Christi, especialmente, a la asociación Amics del Corpus.
