AUTUMN PARISH RETREAT AT EASTERN POINT IN GLOUCESTER
This semi annual retreat is an opportunity to enter more deeply into the mystery of God’s
love for us. You will have an opportunity for spiritual conversation, silent prayer and
gatherings of prayer and worship with members of the parish community. The retreat
will be held Friday, November 5th to Sunday, November 7th. The cost for the weekend is $200 (all
inclusive), with a deposit of $100 at registration. If anyone is in need of financial assistance in order to
attend, please let us know. Please register through the parish office 617-552-6102, or ignatius@bc.edu.
WITH OPEN ARMS
“COME AND JOURNEY WITH US”
On Monday evening, September 20th at 7:15 pm in the Friary Room, we will initiate an eight
week program on the essentials of the Catholic Faith.
An inquiry program for non-Catholics
A welcome back for inactive Catholics
An updating for practicing Catholics
This program leads into RCIA for those wishing to become Catholics and Confirmation for
those who are Baptized and have received Eucharist
For this first session of With Open Arms, we will be hosting a group of young German
Catholics who are coming to Boston to learn more about how we live our Catholic Faith
in a parish in the US. We would like to invite any parishioner who would be interested to
come and share your experience of being Catholic with these guests and those who are
inquiring about our faith.
OUTREACH MINISTRIES
IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AND WE NEED YOU! This is usually the time of year
when Outreach Commission members finalize a schedule and work up the year’s
calendar. This year, however, Commission members have made the decision to take a
step back and spend some time looking at what’s been (which has been an enormous
amount of good accomplished over many years) and how we might want to move
ahead,
possibly in some new directions. We would very much like to have YOU involved in our
process of assessment. The Commission has scheduled an “Outreach Summit” for next Sunday,
September 26th, at 3:30PM in the Friary Room (lower church). Could you give us an hour or so to
partner with us and share your thoughts and ideas about current efforts and possible efforts for
the coming year? No need to RSVP – just join us! If you have input to offer and cannot be present,
please contact Sr. Diane at vallerio@bc.edu.
AUTUMN RITUAL NO MORE: For more than twenty-five years, the Newton Walk for the
World (originally named CROP Walk) has been a part of the autumn scene in Newton. Times
have changed and the decision was made to discontinue the Walk as we have known it. Newton
Walk Committee members are planning to provide a different opportunity to support Church
World Service in its global mission. Stay tuned!

of their hearts , minds , voices, and instruments, for the GREATER GLORY OF GOD.
The fall begins a new season of our Music Ministry Ensembles. Please check the Music Ministry page of
