"WE REMEMBER THEM": COPING
WITH
LOSS DURING
12:45 pm
THE
HOLIDAYS
The loss of a loved one is difficult any time of the year, but the holidays can be
especially challenging for those struggling with bereavement. If grief has changed
your experience and expectations for the holidays, if the peace and joy of the
season seem far removed, you are not alone. Please join us for prayer and companionship in the Friary
Room on Sunday afternoon, November 18th, from 3:00-5:30 p.m. Members of the Parish
Staff and community will facilitate a discussion on remembering our beloved deceased and offer
personal experiences in coping with feelings of loss.
Light refreshments will be served and the
program will conclude with a prayer service. You are invited to bring a photo or memento of your
loved one. For more information or to register for this program, please call the Parish Office at 617-5526102.
BOOK DISCUSSION
On November 18th, there will be a discussion of Guadalupe: Mother of the New Creation by Virgil
Elizondo. For centuries, Guadalupe has served as one of the sustaining symbols of Mexican, Latin
American, and U.S. Hispanic identity and spirituality. But more than that, in this lyrical and inspiring
work Elizondo shows that Our Lady of Guadalupe has an even wider significance and relevance to the
church universal at the dawn of a new millennium. Please join us for a discussion of this book on
November 18 at 11:15 in the living room of the Parish Center.
DO YOU WANT MORE INSIGHT INTO THE READINGS YOU HEAR AT MASS?
Join us for PASTA & PRAYER, a prayerful conversation with friends over dinner to
discuss the Sunday scriptures. Feed your body, mind and soul!
The next session, One Family, discussing the Christmas Season readings, will take place
on Thursday, November 15, 2012 in the Dining Room at the Parish Office from 6:30 to
8:30pm.
Prior registration required: Call Catherine at 617-782-5812 or Email to
cfdesq@hotmail.com, to reserve a place at the table.
On this Veteran’s Day Weekend, let us continue to pray for those who have served and
are presently serving our country in the armed forces

Del Escritorio del Padre Bob
Queridos Parroquianos,
Este domingo pasado cuando miraba a tantas personas participando en la Misa, me conmovió
muchísimo. Durante las cinco años pasados, nuestra comunidad ha crecido y esto me da mucha
alegría. Yo sé que hay muchas razones que han contribuido a este crecimiento. Tenemos tantas
bendiciones en nuestra comunidad. Estoy seguro de que estarían de acuerdo conmigo cuando
digo que tenemos la predicación muy impactante de nuestros sacerdotes y nuestro diacono, un
coro excelente y un espíritu de celebración maravilloso. Otra cosa que me conmovió fue la
participación en el programa Ven a la Mesa. Había veinte personas que se quedaron para
conversar sobre el tema de la Liturgia (La Santa Misa). Espero que sigan invitando a sus amigos
a acompañarnos en nuestro camino de fe y alegría.
Sinceramente,
Padre Bob
¡El Cumpleaños de Caridad!
Esta semana, nuestra parroquiana Caridad cumplió 94 años. Caridad es una de las bendiciones
especiales en nuestra comunidad y la deseamos buena salud y mucha alegría.
Ven a La Mesa
El tema de esta semana tiene que ver con los ritos introductorios de la Misa. El domingo que
viene estudiaremos la liturgia de la Palabra. Todos son invitados a participar en este programa
que empieza a las dos y media y dura una hora.
La Organización de Nuestro Comunidad
Cada semana vamos a destacar uno de los cuatro grupos que nos ayuda en nuestro ministerio.
Si desea unirse con uno de los grupos, por favor comuníquese con el líder.
Grupo La Sagrada Familia – Líder: Sra. Aura CabreraLa Familia formada por San José, la
Virgen María y Jesús “La Sagrada Familia” es un modelo con el cual se pueden identificar las
demás familias del mundo, en particular dentro de la Iglesia, tanto por las partes que la
componen: padre, madre e hijo(s), como por los valores que se adquieren en ella para crecer,
enfrentarse a las adversidades juntos y gozar de un amor compartido. En este sentido cada
familia en si misma está llamada a ser una “Sagrada Familia” también. ¿Has pensado en tu
familia como “sagrada” o en lo que podrías hacer para que llegara a serlo?
Vida Comunitaria Estamos en proceso también de recabar los nombres, números de teléfono, y
las direcciones de correo electrónico de nuestros parroquianos. Para tal propósito pueden
comunicarse con Pablo Uribe (pablo_uribe@hotmail.com). Es muy importante que tengamos
esta información para que nos podamos comunicar mejor con toda la comunidad.
Coro Hispano El coro hispano siempre busca a nuevos cantantes y musicos que quieren
compartir sus dones musicales con la comunidad. Si desea participar en el Coro, por favor
comuníquese con Michael Burgo burgo@bc.edu.
JAMAICA RETURN!
Once again, the parish is planning an immersion trip to Kingston, Jamaica to participate in the life of our
sister parish, St. Anne's and St. Anne’s primary school. The proposed dates for the trip this year are
January 19 -27th. If you are interested in finding out more about the trip, please contact Fr. Bob at
frvereec@bc.edu.
