a note from our pastor
This past Wednesday evening we had the Graduation Mass for the current 8th-graders of St. Agatha School. As always it was a wonderful event for the graduates, their families, and the whole St. Agatha School community.
This Saturday evening the 10th we’ll have the St. Agatha School Auction at the Tirrell Room in Quincy. It will be an evening to honor the Principal Nancy Carr for her fabulous leadership these past 5 years, and to wish her well as she enjoys a well-deserved retirement.
I am very grateful to the parents, teachers, and School Board members who formed our Principal Interview Team. I am hopeful that very soon I’ll be able to announce who will be the next Principal of St. Agatha School.
Our closing School Mass will be next Wednesday the 14th at 9am. The actual last day of school will be this coming Friday the 16th.
Please mark your calendars for the opportunity to purchase the book All is Well: Life Lessons from a Preacher’s Father by our very own Deacon Kevin Martin. Deacon Kevin will have these books available for sale, and will sign them for those who purchase them. This book signing will take place on Sunday June 25th in the Gathering Space after the 5pm Mass, from 6 until 8pm. 100% of the book’s profits will go to ALS research and care charities. I had the privilege of proofreading this book, and I highly recommend it for awareness about the horrible disease that ALS is, and for the insights that Deacon Kevin shares about his dad, his family, and his faith.
Have a blessed week!

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.
