A few items of interest from Fr. Fitzgerald:
A new Saint… On Sunday, September 4, Pope
Francis will canonize Mother Teresa of Calcutta at a
Mass in Saint Peter’s Square in Rome. Her selfless
dedication to the poorest of the world lives on in the
religious order she founded, the Missionaries of
Charity. Their ministry now is spread throughout
the world, even in our own Archdiocese. Pope
Emeritus Benedict XV once said that in the midst of
a world full of trouble and turmoil, we can look to
the saints of every generation whom the Lord has
raised up as examples of faith, hope, and charity.
Along with the recently canonized Saint John XXIII
and Saint John Paul II, and now Saint Teresa of Calcutta, we can rejoice in having known those examples in our own lifetimes, knowing that the Lord
never abandons his Church.
A new priest resident… Last weekend we welcomed as a priest resident Fr. Carlo Calleja, a priest
from Malta, who will be pursuing a Doctoral degree
in Theology at Boston College for the next several
years. Judging from the warm welcome he received,
we can believe that he will be happy with us at Saint
Columbkille’s.
RCIA… The Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults will start up again this fall on Sunday, October 2, at 10:00 am in the parish rectory conference
room. The rectory is adjacent to the church on Market Street. The program is for individuals who are
interested in becoming Catholic who have never
been baptized or have been baptized in a Protestant
denomination. Also, it is for Catholics who have not
received the sacraments beyond Baptism. We are
delighted that the instructors for the program
will be Angela and Franklin Harkins a married
couple who are professors at the Boston College
School of Theology and Ministry. They will be
assisted in the instruction by Henry Shea, S.J.,
who is a Jesuit seminarian assigned on the weekend to Saint Columbkille Parish for field experience. Each class is for one hour and will end before the 11:15 Mass each Sunday morning. If you
are interested, please call the parish secretary at the
rectory office (617) 782-5774 to register. You may
also sign up by email [email protected]
Spread the word to anyone you may know who may
have interest.

On page 6 of this week’s bulletin you will find before and after pictures of St. Mary Magdelene
Church in Petite Rivier, Gaibo, Haiti. The church
was the dream of Fr. Succès’ late mother and now it
has come to fruition. Thanks to the help of so many
this is a beautiful home for God.

Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
St. Columbkille Parish
Brighton, MA
23º Domingo del tiempo ordinario
Es el comienzo de otro año escolar y los estudiantes de todo
el mundo están decididos a hacer de este año el mejor. Las
buenas intenciones de estudiar, completar todas las tareas y
pasar todas las pruebas quizás no dure mucho, pero quizás
sea suficiente para comenzar el año bien. Las mentes de los
jóvenes necesitan ser alimentadas con grandes retos, información interesante e ideas creativas. Se necesita persistencia, paciencia y determinación para mantener el rumbo, alcanzar metas académicas y tener éxito en la escuela.
El matrimonio requiere un gran compromiso para tener éxito. El día de la boda, las parejas están decididas a tener éxito, y amarse mutuamente para el resto de sus vidas y superar así cualquier problema que pueda venir y los obstáculos en su camino. Pero no es fácil. Las personas pueden perder la paciencia, desanimarse, y perder el sentido de la esperanza y el amor. Se necesita mucha fe, amor, paciencia y
perseverancia para que el matrimonio tenga éxito. Un poquito de apoyo de familiares y amigos tiene mucho valor y ayuda mucho a lo largo del camino.
De vez en cuando, el matrimonio necesita una pequeña revisión para comprobar que todo marcha bien. Es como el chequeo y el mantenimiento que se le da a un vehículo. Hay que
sacar tiempo para revisarlo. Hay que sacar tiempo para recordar los objetivos, renovar la energía y sellar el compromiso una vez más. Programar tiempo juntos, sin los niños,
teléfonos celulares o interrupciones es indispensable para
hablar acerca de la vida, el futuro, los ideales, las metas, las
fantasías y las nuevas ideas. Al igual que una mente joven
ansiosa por aprender, un gran matrimonio necesita ser alimentado y nutrido. Asegúrese de “hacer su tareíta” en el
hogar para mantener y nutrir su matrimonio.
