My brothers and sisters in Christ,
Last month I received some prayer cards in the mail from
the Vocation Office. The card includes a prayer for
vocations and a list of the men who are currently studying at
seminaries for the Archdiocese of Boston. Pope Saint John
XXIII in Weston was founded fifty years ago by Cardinal
Cushing to prepare older men for priesthood. The student
body is made up of men over the age of 50. Some of them
are widowers who are also fathers and grandfathers. St. John
Seminary in Brighton and the North American College in
Rome prepare men who have completed university degrees.
The Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Brookline trains men
whose vocations were the fruit of their experience with the
Church Movement “The Neo-Catechumenal Way”. Those
men take most of their academic courses at St. John’s
Seminary. Finally, the Archdiocese sends men who are
college age to live in a formation house and study at
Providence College. This year sixty-four men are studying
for Boston. Their names are listed below. I ask you to pray
for them and for those men who God made to be his priests
but have not yet entered the Seminary nor been ordained. I
know some of those men come from our parish. – Fr. Michael

Prayer to Mary, Mother of the Divine Shepherd
Holy Mother of the Good Shepherd, turn your motherly care
to our Archdiocese of Boston. Intercede for us to the Lord of
the Harvest to send more laborers to the harvest. Inspire vocations in our time. Let the word of your Son be made flesh
anew in the lives of persons anxious to proclaim the Good
News of everlasting life. Draw them near to the heart of your
Son so that they can understand the beauty and joy that
awaits them when the Lord Jesus calls them to be His witness. Amen.

ST. VINCENT de PAUL
Today we celebrate The Cathedral of the Diocese of Rome.
It is considered the Pope's church in his capacity as bishop of
Rome. It is the symbol for bishops everywhere.
Please your gift in the St. Vincent de Paul poor box so that
those who are suffering will be able to celebrate
Thanksgiving.
Jesus, give us the grace to seek you in our lives, so that all of
our decisions, plans, struggles and actions revolve around
you. Amen.
THANK YOU FOR COATS
Many thanks to those of you who donated winter coats to St.
Vincent de Paul during October. Over 50 coats were
donated! They will be given to men, women, and children
who need a warm coat to get through the cold months of
winter.

Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica

Santa María de Waltham
9 de noviembre de 2014
DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA
This Sunday is an unusual feast. Catholic Churches
throughout the world honor the Cathedral of Pope Francis–
the Lateran Basilica. Since the Pope is the Shepherd of all
Catholics, we are reminded that we are to live in unity under
his guidance. May the readings and prayers of this day lead
us not to worry about the building in Rome...but to build our
life and community on the foundation of Christ’s love.
CEMETERY VISITS - RESCHEDULED
Due to inclement weather on All Souls’ Day, we had to
postpone the cemetery visits. They have been rescheduled as
follows:
CALVARY CEMETERY - Friday, Nov. 14 at 1:15 p.m..
We will meet at the Crucifix at Calvary.
MOUNT FEAKE - Friday, Nov. 14 at 1:15 p.m. We will
meet at the flagpole at Mt. Feake.
Please consider joining us. We pray for all the dead buried in
that cemetery. Then we make our way as much as possible
to the specific graves connected with those people who are
present that day. We sprinkle the specific graves with holy
water, say a brief prayer for the dead buried in that grave,
and then move on to the next location. Many parishioners
are helped by these visits. It can be hard for some to visit the
cemetery on their own.
THE BOOK OF THE DEAD
We invite everyone to record the names of the deceased in
the Book of the Dead placed near the baptismal font. We
will pray for those listed in the Book throughout the month
of November.
VETERANS DAY
Waltham will gather at the Circle of Remembrance on the
Waltham Common this Tuesday to honor and remember all
veterans. We encourage you to attend this ceremony which
begins at 10:30 with a tribute to Wally Hoyt for “Wally’s
Way”, followed by the civic ceremony at 11:00 a.m. Let us
also pray for an end of all wars. Let us remember that War
World I stopped fighting on at the eleventh hour on the
eleventh day of the eleventh month. Let us also remember
that this is the feast day of St. Martin of Tours, a former
soldier who laid down his weapons to become a peacemaker
and a soldier for Christ.
THANK YOU
About two hundred adults and children attended the Saints
Party last Friday night. Many saints attended, including St.
Bahkita, St. Rose of Lima, St. Michael and St. Gabriel, St.
Francis of Assisi, St. Louis and even Pope Francis. They
played games, ate candy and pizza, socialized and took part
in a costume contest. Many thanks to the organizers of this
event. It was a great time.

SAINT VINCENT de PAUL APPEAL
The annual St. Vincent de Paul appeal is underway. If you
did not receive a copy of the Annual Report in the mail,
please pick up a copy at the church entrances so you can
respond as your means allow with donations to this
charitable ministry here at St. Mary’s.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
The Knights of Columbus are Catholic men 18 years old or
older who devote themselves to the project of making better
their families and communities, while they support the
Church and receive the support of the Church. To be a
Knight of Columbus is to belong to a fraternity that enriches
itself through the sharing of the faith in order to protect and
improve the family life. You will receive a special invitation
to know this international organization at Saint Mary’s in
Waltham. If you have not received this invitation, contact
the priests and deacon of the Parish, who will give you more
information. Please attend the meeting on Sunday,
November 23 at 1:30 p.m. in Saint Mary’s lower hall to
learn about the advantages of being a member.
PROJECT RACHEL
If you or someone you know is suffering from the pain of a
past abortion, the Project Rachel ministry of the Archdiocese
of Boston will offer a one-day retreat for women on
Saturday, November 15 from 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. at a
confidential location. For more information and registration,
visit projectrachelboston.com or call 508-651-3100.
VOTING SEASON WATERTOWN SAVINGS BANK
The voting for the Watertown Saving Bank Customer
Choice Awards has begun. We ask anyone who has a bank
account with WSB to vote for the Saint Mary’s After School
program. Last year we received $1,823 to support our
program. You can vote online or by dropping a paper ballot
in the box at a local branch the next time you stop in the
bank. Thanks for your consideration.
CONGRATULATIONS CHOIR
The Uganda Martyrs Choir is marking its 12th Anniversary
Celebration this Sunday. Many times over the past seven
years they have graced us with their voices and sound. We
are a better parish because of your presence and commitment
to lead us to worship and praise our God. We look forward
to hearing you sing in the future.
MANY THANKS
Last month, the Adult Choir not only sang at Mass on one of
the Sundays, but also cooked delicious food and served it for
parishioners after the Mass. $600 was raised in donations
from the lunch. It will be put towards the heating costs of the
Church. Many thanks to the Choir for their initiative.

SCRIPTURE OF THE WEEK
We encourage everyone to continue reading the Acts of the
Apostles this week …
ACTS OF THE APOSTLES – CHAPTER 17 PART 2
Paul in Beroea. The brothers immediately sent Paul and
Silas to Beroea during the night. Upon arrival they went to
the synagogue of the Jews. These Jews were more fairminded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the
word with all willingness and examined the scriptures daily
to determine whether these things were so. Many of them
became believers, as did not a few of the influential Greek
women and men. But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned
that the word of God had now been proclaimed by Paul in
Beroea also, they came there too to cause a commotion and
stir up the crowds. So the brothers at once sent Paul on his
way to the seacoast, while Silas and Timothy remained
behind. After Paul’s escorts had taken him to Athens, they
came away with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join
him as soon as possible.
CRITICAL FOOD SHORTAGE
Our St. Vincent de Paul food pantry is in desperate need of
donations of non-perishable food items, particularly canned
goods. Your donations enable us to provide those in need
with a bag of these items to supplement the food vouchers
we also provide. Please leave your donations at the back of
the church.
SERRA CLUB OF BOSTON
Serra Club is a group of Catholic laypersons dedicated to
encouraging, promoting, and affirming vocations to the
ministerial priesthood and vowed religious life. The group
meets on the third Saturday of every month at Saint Mary’s,
beginning with Mass in the Chapel at 8:30 a.m., followed by
a meeting at 9:30 a.m.. The next meeting is Saturday,
November 15. Please come if you are interested in finding
out more! Additional information is available at
www.serraboston.org.
PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
The next meeting of the Prayer Shawl Ministry is Saturday,
November 15 at 2:30 at St. Mary Apartments. The members
knit or crochet shawls that are given to persons who are ill or
experiencing crisis. The group also prays for the recipients
of these shawls. All are welcome. For more information,
please contact Mary Alice McMahon at 781-899-9726.
LATIN MASS CANCELLED ON NOVEMBER 15
The 6:00 p.m. Latin Mass at St. Charles Borromeo will be
cancelled on Saturday, November 15 due to a mandatory
meeting of all priests of the Vicariate.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT THE CREED
Last year we began including questions and answers about
each line of the Creed to remind us what we mean when we
profess our faith. We have reached the end of the prayer.
From the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic
Church…
• What is the meaning of the word “Amen” with which
we conclude our profession of faith?
The Hebrew word “A men”, which also concludes the last
book of Sacred Scripture, some of the prayers of the New
Testament, and the liturgical prayers of the Church,
expresses our confident and total “yes” to what we professed
in the Creed, entrusting ourselves completely to him who is
the definitive “A men” (Revelation 3:14), Christ the Lord.
THE WEDDING AT CANA
We are planning a wedding and anniversary celebration at
St. Mary’s on February 14, 2015. We are calling it THE
WEDDING AT CANA– 2015. This celebr ation is being
organized especially for couples who have been together but
have never had their marriage blessed in the Church. Jesus
was invited to a wedding at Cana. And he accepted the
invitation. And because he was there the wedding (and
hopefully the rest of that couple’s married days) was made
better. Remember what happened at the wedding. The wine
ran out. That’s what can happen in any of our lives, whether
we are married, ordained and consecrated or single. But with
Jesus, more wine not only arrived...but the wine was better.
Are you in a relationship with someone but have never come
to the Church to have your marriage blessed? Do you know
some people who are together but have not yet been married.
Were you married by a Justice of the Peace but not in
Church? Sometimes people need help with the annulment
process. Sometimes people have ideas on who and who
cannot get married in the Church that are not correct. Often
times people think a wedding has to be huge and expensive.
This can be a turn off for some. THE WEDDING AT
CANA-2015 is taking place to help men and women
through the process and take away as many obstacles to
having a wedding in Church. There will be an informational
meeting for any interested couples on Sunday, November 16
at 1:00 p.m. (Spanish) and Wednesday, November 19 at 7:00
p.m. (English). Please spread the word and contact any of
the priests or Deacon if you have any questions.
WEDDING AT CANA – ANNIVERSARIES
On this same evening, we are inviting any couple to renew
their wedding vows and acknowledge their wedding
anniversaries. The ceremony will be at 5:30 p.m. on
Saturday February 14, 2015. It does not matter whether you
have been married for 50 or 29 or 7 or 1 year. Couples who
are interested need to register so we can make the necessary
arrangements and include your names in the program.

Mis hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
El mes pasado recibí unas tarjetas de oraciones de la oficina
de Vocaciones. Las tarjetas incluyen una oración por las
vocaciones y una lista de los hombres que están actualmente
estudiando en los seminarios de la Arquidiócesis de Boston.
El seminario Papa San Juan XXIII en Weston fue fundado
hace 50 años por el cardinal Cushing para preparar a
hombres mayores para el sacerdocio. El cuerpo estudiantil
esta compuesto de hombres de mas de 50 años. Algunos son
viudos que son además padres de familia y abuelos. El
seminario de San Juan en Brighton y el College North
America en Roma preparan a hombres que han terminado el
grado universitario. El seminario Redemptoris Mater en
Brookline entrena a hombres cuyas vocaciones fueron fruto
de sus experiencias con el movimiento de la iglesia “Camino
Neocatecumenal”. Estos hombres toman la mayoría de sus
cursos académicos en el seminario de San Juan. Finalmente,
la Arquidiócesis manda hombres en edad universitaria a vivir
en una casa de formación y estudio en Providence College.
Este año sesenta y cuatro hombres están estudiando en
Boston. Pueden ver sus nombres en la pagina 3.
Les pido que oren por ellos y por aquellos hombres que Dios
ha escogido como sus sacerdotes pero aun no han entrado al
seminario ni han sido ordenados. Yo se que algunos de estos
hombre son de nuestra parroquia.
Padre Michael
Oración a María, Madre del Buen Pastor
Santa María del Buen Pastor, vuelve tu cuidado maternal a
la Arquidiócesis de Boston. Intercede por nosotros ante el
Señor de la mies para que envié mas obreros a su mies.
Inspira vocaciones en nuestro tiempo. Deja que la palabra
de tu Hijo se vuelva carne viva nuevamente en la vida de las
personas ansiosas de proclamar la Buena Nueva de la vida
eterna. Acércalos al Corazón de tu Hijo para que así puedan
entender la belleza y alegría que les espera cuando nuestro
Señor Jesúcristo los llame a ser testigos suyos. Amén.
Seán Patrick O’Malley, OFM Cap
Cardenal Arzobispo de Boston
FELICITACIONES AL CORO DE UGANDA
El coro de los Mártires de Uganda estará celebrando su 12vo.
aniversario este domingo. En muchas ocasiones, desde hace
siete años, el coro nos ha deleitado con sus voces. Somos una
mejor parroquia gracias a su presencia y compromiso en
guiarnos a adorar y alabar a Dios nuestro Señor.
LAS BODAS DE CANÁ– 2015
Estará llevándose a cabo para ayudar a hombres y mujeres
con el proceso y quitar obstáculos para así tener una boda por
la iglesia. Habrá una junta informativa para las parejas el
domingo 16 de noviembre a la 1:00 p.m. en Español y el
miércoles 19 de noviembre a las 7:00 p.m. en Ingles. Por
favor pase la voz y contacte a cualquiera de los sacerdotes o
al diacono si tiene alguna pregunta.

OFERTORIO
El fin de semana pasado se recaudo un total de $5,515 de las
primeras cuatro misas y $561 de la colecta para las Misiones
en el Mundo. En la misa de 1:30 p.m., el 26 de octubre, se
colectaron $551. Mil gracias por su apoyo.
CABALLEROS DE COLÓN
Los Caballeros de Colón son hombres católicos de 18 años
de edad o más, que están dedicados a hacer de su familia y
comunidad un lugar mejor, mientras apoyan y reciben el
apoyo de la Iglesia. Ser un Caballero es pertenecer a una
fraternidad que se enriquece al compartir la Fe para proteger
y mejorar la vida familiar. Asista el domingo 23 de
noviembre a la 1:30 p.m., en St. Mar y’s Hall, a la
reunión donde se hablará de los beneficios que reciben
los miembros de ésta organización.
NOVIEMBRE MES DE LOS DIFUNTOS
Durante el mes de noviembre la iglesia nos llama a recordar
a nuestros difuntos y orar por aquellos que ya pasaron de
esta vida a la otra. Durante todo el mes de noviembre
oramos por sus almas y pedimos a Dios que tenga
misericordia de ellos y perdone sus pecados. Pedimos a Dios
que recuerde sus buenas obras. Invitamos a todos a que
escriban los nombres de sus difuntos en el Libro de los
Difuntos que se encuentra cerca de la pila bautismal.
FIESTA DE LA VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE
Gracias a todos los diferentes grupos, familias y personas
que asistieron a la reunión para organizar la fiesta de Nuestra
Sra. de Guadalupe! El grupo de los jóvenes hará la
tradicional representación de la Sma. Virgen de Guadalupe y
coordinara el evento en el salón abajo de la Iglesia. La
Legión de María traerá comida y se encargaran de la
decoración. Familias y personas traerán comida y bebidas.
Tendremos Mariachis en Misa y pedimos a los coros que se
organicen para que toquen durante la cena. Si alguien mas
quiere ayudar en la fiesta, hable con el Padre Agustín.
GRACIAS
Cerca de dociesientos adultos y niños atendieron la fiesta de
Santa Maria el viernes por la noche. Muchos santos
asistieron incluyendo Santa Bahkita, Santa Rosa de Lima,
San Miguel y San Gabriel, San Francisco de Asis. San Luis e
incluso el Papa Francisco. Todos pasaron un rato muy
agradable. Jugaron, comieron dulces y pizza, socializaron y
tomaron parte en el concurso de disfraces. Muchas gracias a
los organizadores del evento.
DEDICACION DE LA BASÍLICA DE LETRÁN
Este domingo celebramos una fiesta inusual. Las iglesias
catolicas a traves del mundo honran la catedral del Papa
Francisco– la Basilica de Letrán. Como el Papa es el Pastor
de todos los Catolicos esto nos hace recordar que debemos
vivir en unidad bajo su guia. Que las lecturas y oraciones de
este dia nos lleve a no preocuparnos por el edificio pero a
construir nuestra vida y comunidad en las bases del amor de
Cristo.
