You enter this church… not as a stranger, but as a guest of God. He is your heavenly Father. Come, then, with joy in your heart and thanks on your lips
into His presence, offering Him your love and service. Be grateful to the strong and loyal ones who, in the name of Jesus Christ, built this place of worship, and to all who have beautified it and hallowed it with their prayers and praise. Ask His blessing on those who love His house of faith as the inspiration of their labor, rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit, and may that blessing rest on you, both on your going out and your coming in.

ATTACKS ON GOD
Terror attack survivor describes murder of Father Hamel
September 30, 2016: A French man who survived the terrorist
attack on the church of St. Etienne du Rouvray has described the
killing of Father Jacques Hamel. Guy Coponet, a layman who
was attending Mass on the day of the attack said that he had been
forced by the Islamic terrorists to hold a video camera, recording
the murder, so that they might post the video on the internet. "I
had to film my friend Father Jacques' murder!" said Coponet. "I
can't get over it."
Father Hamel resisted the attack, but Coponet said that he was
convinced the priest did not condemn his killers. On the
contrary, he said, Father Hamel appeared clearly to believe that
his assailants were in the grip of some demonic power. As he
fell, he said: "Begone, Satan!" Coponet himself was stabbed in
the neck by the terrorists after Father Hamel died, and barely
survived. The church of St. Etienne du Rouvray, which has been
closed since the crime, will reopen on Sunday.

the problem! The meeting is held on Tuesday evenings at 7:30

ON THE BULLETIN COVER
Cleansing of the ten lepers
c. 1035-1040, Codex Aureus Epternacensis
From today’s Gospel (Luke17:12-14):
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.
They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices,
saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!”
And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the
priests.”
As they were going they were cleansed.

SAINT MARY PARISH
My brothers and sisters in Christ,
The After School Program began its fifth year last month and we
have had a great start. It has been a real joy to see them around
the parish every afternoon – playing, studying reading and
praying. We have a lot of new faces and a lot of new talent. It
has also been great to welcome back the adult volunteers who
tutor and watch over the children during the homework hour.
Last Spring we made a connection with the students who attend
the Catholic Mass celebrated for the Bentley students every
Sunday night. A good number of the university students are
taking time out of their schedules to come over and help the
children. A lot of beautiful things are happening with the
children. This past Monday, there was no school in Waltham
because of Rosh Hashanah. This allowed twenty two of the
children in the program to come over in the morning for a field
trip. They went over to Gore Place where they saw the house and
animals and had a scavenger hunt. They returned to the church in
the late morning to attend Mass and have lunch. The Mass was
the First Monday of the month Mass for the sick, so the children
got to join us in praying for the sick and watching the sick be
anointed. We try to take the children on field trips to places in
our area so they can learn about their history and heritage. Many
of the children have parents who come from different countries,
so it is important for them to learn also that America is their
country and their heritage as well as their parent’s country of
origin. Many thanks to all who are making it possible for the
children to come to the parish every day and more importantly
for bringing them to Jesus. – Fr. Michael
FINANCIAL REPORT – NEXT WEEK
Next week, we will provide the financial report for fiscal year
2016 in the bulletin. The weekend after that will be our SemiAnnual Appeal. Please consider making a donation, whatever
you can and whatever is possible, so that we can cover our
winter expenses and allow us to meet our financial goals: pay all
our bills; invest in the maintenance of our physical plant and give
to charity.
PLEASE DONATE FOOD FOR THOSE IN NEED
Members and volunteers from Saint Mary's St. Vincent de
Paul Society provide assistance to individuals and families
within our local community. During the past few months your
donations of NON-PERISHABLE food items has allowed the St.
Vincent de Paul members and volunteers to provide recipients
with a bag of these items to supplement the food vouchers,
which we also provide. Thank you…
… Please continue your generosity each week! We would
appreciate donations of NON-PERISHABLE food items,
especially canned goods (no soup, please), to help those in need.
Current needs include canned meats, pasta, cereal, and peanut
butter. You may leave your donations in the baskets at the back
of the church. Many thanks. For I was hungry and you gave me
food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink… (Mt 25:35)

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
In today’s Gospel we hear that only one of those healed returned
to glorify God and to give thanks to God. It is true, that when we
have a grateful heart we know that everything is a gift from God.
To give thanks for all that God has given to you, have you
considered answering the call to help serve the poor by joining
the Society of St. Vincent de Paul?
Thanks be to You, Lord Jesus Christ, for all that you have given
me. Thanks be to You, Lord Jesus Christ, for all that you have
taken away from me. Thanks be to You, Lord Jesus Christ, for all
that You have left me. Amen

CATHOLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES FOR UGANDA
Catholic Health Initiatives for Uganda (CHIU) is a non-profit
organization based at St. Mary Parish which strives to improve
and maintain health care through rural Catholic health centers
and hospitals in Uganda. CHIU improves water systems, solar
power systems; we empower medical staffs and communities
through education; and we provide medical & spiritual support
during the medical mission trips to Uganda. This year CHIU is
please to announce their advancement to a new health center in
Buyoga, Uganda – St Jean Muzeeyi Health Center III.
CHIU’s SOLAR POWER PROJECTS: Two years ago at Mitala
Maria Health Center, a midwife woke up Dr. Dhaval at 3:00 a.m.
to deliver a baby. Dr. Dhaval, a medical doctor from Lahey Hospital, was on a medical mission trip. In the middle of delivering
the baby, there was a blackout. Panic engulfed the room. Usually
lighting a kerosene lantern
or a candle helps, but there
was no time. Dr. Dahval
quietly pulled out his iPhone 4S, put on the flashlight, and delivered the
healthy baby!
Jesus survived this in Bethlehem with the stars helping out with
the lighting from the universe. (Matthew 2:9)
Power outages are common in Uganda. Hospitals strive to install
solar power, but it’s very unaffordable. A solar project for one
health center costs $4,000, and most of these health centers are
self-funded, sometimes by the church.
Please attend CHIU’s fundraising dinner (see below) to support
St. Jean Muzeeyi Health Center’s maternity ward solar project.
FUNDRAISING DINNER FOR CHIU
Please join us at our annual Fundraising dinner on Saturday, October 22 at St. Mary’s Lower Hall at 6:00 p.m. All proceeds from this fundraiser will help CHIU to advance its projects
in rural Uganda. Tickets are on sale for $ 50.00 each at St.
Mary’s rectory. Please call 781-891-1730 to reserve your ticket! Don’t miss the Ugandan cuisine and lots of entertainments
that day.

PARISH YOUTH CARRY OUT WORKS OF MERCY
Rooted in Christ, our new parish youth group, together with
Agape have joined to perform the 7 Corporal Works of Mercy. A
single Corporal Work of Mercy will be performed each Saturday
in the upcoming weeks. Last Saturday, 20 young people traveled
to Cor Unum, a Meal Center in Lawrence, to feed the hungry. We served approximately 500 hungry individuals. As we
served the least of our brothers, we knew we were serving Jesus
himself. This experience was only the beginning of our journey
as we work to deepen our relationship with Saint Francis and our
Lord Jesus Christ through the Corporal Works of Mercy. All
youth are welcome to join!
ST. MARY’S GREGORIAN CHANT SCHOLA
We are continuing our custom of singing chant at the 8 a.m.
Mass on the first Sunday of each month. St. Mary’s Gregorian
chant schola resumed singing last Sunday, Now in their seventh
year, the schola provides the only opportunity in the Archdiocese
of Boston to experience traditional Latin chants within the context of the post-Vatican II reformed rite. The schola welcomes
new members to carry on this beautiful and prayerful musical
tradition. The only requirement is the ability to match a pitch.
Rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. in the Religious
Education building. Inquiries may be made to the director Randolph Nichols at [email protected] or parish organist
Lila Cleary at [email protected].
