ARRUPE--ASSISTING REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT - USING PARISH ENERGIES
WORLD REFUGEE DAY AT-THE-DOOR C OLLECTION WEEKEND OF JUNE 21
Mark World Refugee Day on June 20th by supporting refugees resettling in the Boston area as well as those abroad.
ARRUPE will collect contributions to help resettle newcomers in the Archdiocese of Boston as well as fund summer
programs for displaced Iraqi youth served by the Jesuit Center in Amman, Jordan. Please be generous. Your
support will make summer enrichment and education opportunities possible for refugee children in the Middle
East and make new homes more comfortable for refugee families making new lives here.
TRANSITIONS: NETWORKING, JOB SEARCH ASSISTANCE AND SPIRITUAL SUPPORT FOR THOSE SEEKING NEW
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Due to renovations in the lower church, the Parish Transitions Group, which meets weekly on Wednesdays after
the 12:15 Mass, will meet in the parish offices next door in the interim. Lunch still provided! All are welcome.
PASTA AND PRAYER Looking for a good way to end the day? Why not try prayerful conversation with fellow
parishoners, around the dinner table? The last installment of Pasta and Prayer will be held on June 18th from 6:30 8:30 PM in the Friary Room. You must pre-register to attend. The evening's topic is the feast of Christ the King. This is
a wonderful and relaxed opportunity for you to contribute to the parish's spiritual life, not to mention your own.
Discussion points will be brought to the Liturgy and the Arts and Environment Commissions for consideration as
they plan the liturgical celebration. Contact Amy Larson at 781-929-1835 by June 16th to register.

family. After September 20, our registration fee will be $250 per family.

Donations
We are very grateful for the donations that are given to our parish for our Faith Formation program.

Look Up and See
In ancient times, art and architecture were used in churches to teach and inspire the faithful. Our church
continues that tradition, using stone, wood and glass. You are invited to take a new look at our church, to
see its beauty and to allow it to deepen your faith.
Along the body of the church, called the nave, where the oak ceiling
meets the side walls are twenty-eight crosses of the world. These crosses
are in the various ecclesiastical colors of red, blue, green, and white.
Each cross is bordered by a thin band of gold leaf and is set on a walnut
shield.
On the side of the church nearest the parking lot, called the Gospel side,
going from the sanctuary to the choir loft, these crosses are: Greek
(Green); Archiepiscopal (Blue); Crosslet (White); Milrine (Red); Barbee
(Green); Moline (Blue); Quadrate (White); Maltese (Red); Bottone
(Green); Tau (Blue); Fourchee (White); Avellane (Red); Ankh (Green);
and Chi-Rho Anchor (Blue).
On the side of the church nearest Commonwealth Avenue, sometimes
called the Epistle side, going from the sanctuary to the choir loft, these
crosses are: Latin (Red); Papal (White); Jerusalem (Blue); Calvary
(Green); Satire (Red); Ancree (White); Patonce (Blue); Formee (Green);
Pommee (Red); Pall (White); Potent (Blue); Celtic (Green); Chi Rho
(Red); and Fluery (White).
