CORI FORM RENEWALS
All communion ministers, lectors, ushers and parish volunteers
need to fill out a CORI every year. There are forms in the
sacristy. Please fill them out completely (both sides!) and have a
parish employee or priest sign the form after you show a picture
ID. The forms can be left in the sacristy. Thank you.
JAMES DIPERRI R.I.P.
Mr. James DiPerri, father of Rev. Jim DiPerri, died last week.
May he rest in peace. Many parishioners know Fr. DiPerri as the
Pastor of Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted Parish. His father
was a wonderful, man, husband, father and Catholic. He will be
missed greatly. Please keep Fr. DiPerri’s family in your prayers.
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM VOLUNTEERS
Do you have one hour free in the afternoon? Would you like to
join other adults in the parish listening to children read or
making sure they complete their homework assignments? The
After School Program starts on Thursday, September 8, and is
looking for new volunteers to donate one hour of time per week
between the hours of 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. any day Monday through
Friday. The children have really benefited from encouragement
and help given to them by the adult volunteers. Many of them are
really becoming good readers. Others are beginning to read for
the first time. And it is really hard to receive the Christian Faith
if you cannot read. For questions please call Kateri at (781) 5772262 or talk to Fr. Michael for more information.
GOLDEN AND SILVER ANNIVERSARY MASS
His Eminence, Sean Cardinal O’Malley, OFM invites all couples

25 at 11:30. Mass will include a renewal of vows. Register by
September 12 at bostoncatholic.org/WeddingAnniversaryMass.

ATTENTION ALL VOLUNTEERS
If you are a volunteer at St. Mary’s or St. Charles and you have
never attended the course Protecting God’s Children (V IRTUS),
please contact Nilvia Hernandez at 781-308-4961 to register for
one of the following sessions. The Archdiocese of Boston
requests that all volunteers take this course just once. These
sessions will be held in St. Mary's Religious Building, 1st floor.
Saturday, August 27 at 9:00 a.m.
Saturday, October 1 at 9:00 a.m.
If you can not attend any of these, please consider attending one
of the sessions being held at Our Lady's Parish, Waltham.
They are holding sessions on Thursday, August 25 at 6:00 p.m.
and on Saturday, August 27 at 10:00 a.m.
CAR DONATION
Please spread the word or keep your eye out for someone who
wants to get rid of a car. It is common for people to have to stop
driving because of eyesight or old age. If anyone is selling a used
car or wants to donate it to the parish please contact the rectory.
We will have priests in the coming months who will need to use
one. A car donation to the Church is tax deductible.
PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
The Prayer Shawl Ministry at St. Mary’s is looking for
volunteers who would like to knit or crochet shawls that are
given to parishioners who are ill or experiencing crisis. Typically
these shawls are distributed by our priests and Communion
Ministers when they visit the sick and homebound. They are a
source of comfort, a gesture of kindness, and a reminder to the
recipient that others care about them and are praying for them.
The group meets on the third Saturday of each month at 2:30
p.m. at St. Mary Apartments. The next meeting is August 20. All
are welcome. We need more help to keep up the supply of these
lovely shawls! For more information, please contact Mary Alice
McMahon at 781-899-9726.

SAINT MARY PARISH
My brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am happy to welcome Rev. Michael Ssenfuma to St. Mary’s
Parish. Father Ssenfuma has come to stay with us and serve the
Lord as he studies in the graduate school program in the BC
School of Theology and Ministry. Fr. Ssenfuma is known to
many of the Ugandan members of the parish as he has attended
the Uganda Martyrs Feast a couple of times in years past. Fr.
Michael comes from the Diocese of Masaka Uganda. His parents
are still alive and he is one of twelve children; falling seventh in
line. He has seven brothers and four sisters. Fr. Michael was
ordained a priest on August 7, 2006. For seven years he was
director of youth for his Diocese. For the past three years he has
served as pastor of a parish that ministers to 30,000 Catholics.
The parish has 23 stational churches to which the priests travel
on a regular basis. They try to make sure that Mass is offered at
least once a month in those outlying churches of the parish. The
poor roads make it difficult to get around the parish. For four
years, Fr. Michael spent the summer months working in Auburn
Alabama so he is somewhat familiar with the Untied States. He
loves to sing and record music. Last year he was chosen to sing
for Pope Francis on his visit to Uganda. Fr. Michael’s main task
will be his studies yet he will be celebrating Mass and also
accompanying the Ugandan members in the parish since we lost
the presence of Fr. David. Please introduce yourself to Fr.
Ssenfuma so that he can begin to get to know you and learn your
names. And let us pray that his time at St. Mary’s will bring him
and the parish many blessings. May you enjoy the feast day of
the Assumption and the rest of this shrinking summer.
– Fr. Michael (The Original)
CANOBIE LAKE TRIP
Last Monday, the parish brought 65 children and ten chaperones
to Canobie Lake Park for a day of fun. We were able to do this
through the generosity of a donor. The group was made up of the
altar servers, children’s choir members and teen leaders of the
After School Program. The kids had a blast and they behaved
wonderfully. It was great to see them all together having fun.
Many thanks to Rodrigo and Gloria for organizing the day.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
In today’s Gospel Jesus said to his disciples: “I have come to set
the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There
is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my
anguish until it be accomplished!
Your gift to the Society to assist those suffering in poverty will
help set the earth on fire with the light of God’s love.
Lord Jesus, bless us this day, with the courage to follow you. Lord
Jesus, bless us this day, with willingness to forgive those who hurt us.
Lord Jesus, bless us this day, with the strength to care for the poor.
Lord Jesus, bless us this day, with the faith to live our convictions.
Amen
RECTORY OFFICE CLOSED AUGUST 20 – SEPT 6
The rectory office will be closed for a few weeks. Our business manager/office secretary, Mary McCarthy, is undergoing foot surgery
and will need to recover. Please pray that the surgery is a success. The other staff members will be busy getting things ready for the
Fall and cannot cover the office. We encourage you to contact the office this week for any scheduling, or wait until September 6.
Special arrangements will be made to respond to emergencies or funeral homes that need to request Funeral Masses. If you need to
send a message to a priest, you can pass a note through the mail slot of the Rectory door. You can also conduct parish business
through email when possible. We will respond to your email as soon as possible. If someone wishes to speak with a priest, the best
thing to do is connect with them after the Masses, especially the 12:10 Mass. They will make time for you or set up a time to meet
with you. Thank you for your understanding and patience. This past summer has been extremely busy and this closure is going to add
to the work that we will need to do in September, but it is the best option that we have right now.

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
August 14, 2016
SAINT CHARLES BORROMEO PARISH
My brothers and sisters in Christ,
Monday, August 15 is the feast of the Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. It is not a holy day of obligation because it
falls on Monday; however, we will have a 7:00 p.m. Mass at St.
Charles in celebration of this feast day. Masses are also
scheduled at St. Mary’s at 12:10 p.m. (English) and 7:00 p.m.
(Spanish).
Give thanks to God for this Feast. Nothing is impossible for
God. Sometimes people have difficulty accepting this teaching.
It does not say anywhere in Scriptures that Mary’s body was
assumed into heaven. How can Mary’s body, not just her soul, be
in heaven if we humans are still waiting for the Second Coming
of Christ? Yet we must remember that the Lord who gave us the
laws of nature is not ruled by those laws. What nonsense to put
limits on Divine providence and generosity! The Creator of
Nature is not bound by nature. Jesus told his apostles that he was
going to prepare a place for them in heaven. If the Lord can do
this, can he not also make a place for the body of the woman
who made a place for him in her body? Mary is in heaven, body
and soul, making her the human creature closest to God. May she
who said yes to the Angel of the Lord hear our prayers and
intercede for us with the God of Mercy. – Father Michael
MISSION APPEAL
Next weekend, Rev. Leon Bonikowski, OSFS will be at St.
Charles to make a mission appeal on behalf of the Oblates of St.
Francis de Sales. Please welcome him and support his work as he
continues in the footsteps Our Lord.
