a note from our pastor
A Note from our Young Church Ministry Coordinator,

As Julie mentioned last week, Fr. Palardy asked for parish staff to serve as guest columnists this month. I look forward to sharing with you.
Mission Events
Our service efforts for Fr. Bill’s Place & MainSpring, a homeless shelter in Quincy & Brockton, continue on a monthly basis. We had a number of parishioners generously make donations last Spring to financially support our packaged lunches which still continue to cover the costs of our efforts. At this point, we have made over 2,000 lunches since we started in Summer of 2020. This mission to support this wonderful organization has all stemmed from our Summer Mission Week.
Because we could not attend the Appalachia Service Project Trip in the Summer of 2020, Will Rein (the Youth Minister at the Visitation Collaborative) and I decided to run our own local service week. To lead the efforts, we had 12 teens sign-up to be on our Mission Leadership Team. They met on zoom weekly to plan and prepare for our local service week. The week was such a success that we decided to have our Mission Leadership Team continue throughout the year and plan service projects on a regular basis which includes our monthly lunch making for Fr. Bill’s Place. It has also included work at Catholic Charities, fundraisers for the Milton Food Pantry & Friendship Home, yardwork for those in need of assistance, clothing drives, and more!
We look forward to returning to Appalachia this April to help repair homes in Jonesville, Virginia, but beyond that, our teens have learned about our mission as Christians to serve those right in our own community. Our biggest hope for the coming months is to help connect service to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ.

prayer to st. agatha
O Heavenly Father, who raised Agatha to the dignity of Sainthood,
we implore Your Divine Majesty by her intercession to give us health
of mind, body and soul. Free us from all those things which hold us
bound to this earth, and let our spirit, like hers, rise to your heavenly courts. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You, forever. Amen. -

Prayer to end covid-19 byPope Francis
Pope Francis’s Prayer to Mary during Coronavirus Pandemic
O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm.
You, Salvation of Your People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.
Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
