HOLY WEEK ONLINE
Relive some of the highlights of our Paschal Triduum celebrations on our new youtube channel:

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY - In the year 2000, during the canonization of the early 20th century Sr.

Mercy. May we continue to grow in our trust of God's boundless mercy and the healing power of
forgiveness.

ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL
“OFFERING HOPE BY SHARING GOD’S GIFTS”
The parish has raised $25,471 for the 2011 Catholic Appeal, reaching 29.8% of our parish goal of $85,500.
We ask every Catholic family to participate – every gift matters. You can pick up information packets
with pledge forms on the table in the Gathering Space, or for more information, please visit
www.BostonCatholicAppeal.com. Thank you.
BOOK DISCUSSION - On Sunday, May 8th at 11:15 there will be a discussion of The Case for God by
Karen Armstrong. We will be meeting in the upstairs living room of the parish offices (former rectory).
Please join us.
DOROTHY DAY AND THOMAS MERTON PRESENTATION: Jim Forest, a friend and biographer of
both Day and Merton, will speak on “Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton: A Special Friendship” on
Monday, May 9th, at 7:00 pm at Our Lady Help of Christians Parish, 573 Washington Street, Newton,
in the lower hall. Though outwardly they led seemingly different lives—Day co-founder of the Catholic
Worker Movement and an activist, Merton, a Trappist monk—they shared similar concerns and led
disciplined religious lives. Each wrestled with the issues of their time and wrote spiritual classics that
continue to inspire many. For more information contact Jenifer Suehs-Vassel at 617-527-7560 x219.
