ATTACKS ON GOD
Anti-Christian graffiti attack
Vandals carried out a graffiti attack on the Dormition Abbey in
Jerusalem last weekend. This church is the site where the Virgin
Mary is said to have died, or fell into eternal sleep. AntiChristian statements such as “death to the heathen Christians, the
enemies of Israel” were written in Hebrew on the doors and
walls. Among the other statements painted on the abbey were
“let his [Jesus’] name and memory be obliterated,” “Christians to
hell,” and “the revenge of the children of Israel is on its way.”
The perpetrators have not been identified but the graffiti suggests
they were Jewish extremists who have been behind a number of
recent attacks on Christian sites. Currently the Dormition Abbey
is home to the German Benedictines.
ASSEMBLY FOR LIFE
Massachusetts Citizens for Life is sponsoring the Assembly for
Life on Sunday, January 24 at Faneuil Hall from 2:00-4:00 p.m.
sponsored by Massachusetts Citizens for Life. Featured are Rev.
Eugene Rivers, Pastor of the Azusa Christian Community,
Bishop Arthur Kennedy, Archdiocese of Boston, and Don Feder,
Esq., media consultant and free-lance writer, as well as other
speakers and music. Join us to celebrate life!
WORDS FROM POPE FRANCIS…
In a frail human being, each one of us is invited to
recognize the face of the Lord, who in his human
flesh experienced the indifference and
solitude to which we so often condemn the
poorest of the poor, whether in developing
countries or in wealthy societies.
Every child who, rather than being born, is
condemned unjustly to being aborted, bears the
face of Jesus Christ, bears the face of the Lord,
who even before he was born, and then just after
birth, experienced the world's rejection.
. . And every elderly person, even if he is ill or at
the end of his days, bears the face of Christ. They
cannot be discarded, as the “culture of waste”
suggests! They cannot be thrown away!

ON THE BULLETIN COVER
The Four Gospels
This mosaic at the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia in Ravenna Italy
depicts a an open cabinet with four books inside, labeled with the
names of the Four Evangelists. The books are clearly the Four
Gospels of the New Testament, and this is an important early
depiction of them as a canonical set.
Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

SAINT MARY PARISH
My brothers and sisters in Christ,
The After School Program started up again this month after
the Christmas break. It is great to have the children around the
parish each day. They are spending a great deal of time learning
how to practice the corporal and spiritual work of mercy. This
month they have been focusing on feeding the hungry, visiting
the sick, and praying for the living and the dead. They have been
feeding the hungry by filling the bird feeders for our little friends
who did not fly south for the winter. They have been praying for
the living and the dead by praying the rosary each week with
specific intentions for Fr. David’s medical mission in Uganda,
the unborn, victims of abortion, and pregnant mothers who need
support. They have been visiting the sick by making cards for the
homebound, the sick and hospitalized, and one woman who died
last week. The children are learning how to perform the works of
mercy by learning everything they can about St. Francis of
Assisi. They are studying his life and their cooking classes are
devoted to learning how to cook food from his part of the world.
I know that numerous parents struggle to pay the $10 daily fee
that we ask for each child. Even though we emphasize that we
have financial aid and do not turn any child away because of
payment, some parents still do not want to send their children
when they cannot pay. I respect this but would rather have more
children come for as many days as possible. So in this Year of
Mercy, we have decided not to charge anything for the rest of the
year. The children can come each day from 3:00-600 p.m.,
receive a snack or small meal, be together with other children,
play sports, learn skills and crafts, get help and time for their
homework and reading ,and come to know and be with Jesus. Let
us continue to pray for the children and the adults who give their
time to them.
– Father Michael
NEW CATECHUMENS
On Sunday, January 10, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, the
Church received four children into the catechumenate. It was a
beautiful ceremony where the other children in the Catechetical
Program, their teachers, families and sponsors welcomed them as
official candidates for initiation. They now have the Church as
their mother as they prepare to have God become their Father
through baptism. The catechumenate is the order for those who
are preparing to be initiated into the Church. They are neither
infants nor adults. Over the next year, they will continue to
prepare and pray for their baptism, confirmation and reception of
First Holy Communion. Their names are Andy, Daydry, Emily
and Jefferson. They now join the children who became
catechumens last January and are now on track to be baptized
this Easter. Please pray for all of these children that they be
blessed and guided to know, serve, and love the Lord.

Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to
bring glad tidings to the poor.”

To the indigent and those who are in despair, Lord, send us out

SAINT CHARLES PARISH
My brothers and sisters in Christ,
Last Saturday we held the first 133 – 1000 Club drawing of the
year. This month’s drawing included the 176 numbers of 1000
Club members who chose to transfer into the 133 Club. Many
thanks for doing this. This will be a big help to both St. Charles,
St. Mary’s, and the staff of the parish. I won’t go into the details
of the minimal changes as they are explained in the letter that
will be sent out to you in the next week. One change is that the
possible amount of the total winnings is increased from $1000 to
$2000 each month for the new members. Some of the newly
transferred members won prizes this month. I also want to thank
all of the people who have stopped being a member of the 1000
Club. I thank you for the past support. We are still receiving
instructions from people but 35 of you have asked that the
remaining subscriptions be donated to St. Charles. This money
will go towards the purchase of a new Sacred Heart statue
outside the Church to replace the damaged one. We will also be
returning money to those who have requested it by the end of
the month. If after reading the letter, you still have questions
about your number please do not hesitate to contact us. Thanks
for your continued support.

SNOW CANCELLATION POLICY
When there is a weekend snowstorm requiring us to cancel catechetical classes, we alert the radio and television stations. We
request that they say “St. Mary’s Religious Education Classes
canceled.” Sometimes they say “St. Mary’s canceled or closed.”
That is incorrect. We still celebrate Sunday Masses even when
classes are canceled.

abortion, the Project Rachel ministry of the Archdiocese of Boston will offer a one-day healing retreat for women at a confidential location on the following Saturdays: February 20, March 19,

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
January 24, 2016
Queridos hermanos en Cristo:
Hace unos días estuve conversando con algunas personas sobre las sectas protestantes en los Estados Unidos. La Constitución Americana nos garantiza la libertad para practicar la religión Católica. He visto y conversado con jóvenes mormones que
van de casa en casa, pues tienen que hacer eso como obligación.
¿Y los Católicos?
Un Arzobispo Mexicano decía con frecuencia: “Católico ignorante, seguro protestante”. Pues cuando un Católico conoce la
Doctrina de Cristo en siempre fiel a Cristo y a su iglesia. Como
hay algunas personas que quieren imponer sus falsas ideas a
otros, van de casa en casa para invitarlos a sus reuniones y aquí
hay que tener mucho cuidado, pues Jesucristo solo fundó una
Iglesia, lo repetimos los domingos y en los días de fiesta en nuestra profesión de fé; “Creo en la Iglesia que es Una, Santa, Católica y Apostólica”.
Hay que ser siempre amables con nuestros hermanos separados y darles buen ejemplo aunque sabemos que hay algunos muy
tercos, seguramente por eso he visto en casas una calcomanía
con la imagen de la Virgen de Guadalupe que dice: “Este Hogar
es Católico, rechazamos toda propaganda protestante. İViva
Cristo Rey! İViva Santa María de Guadalupe!
En los próximos boletines escribiré sobre las principales diferencias de algunos protestantes y Católicos. Los Católicos tenemos un gran reto, mantener nuestra fé, la fé que hemos recibido
por la gracia de Dios y del esfuerzo y sacrificio de nuestros padres y de transmitir la Fé a las nuevas generaciones y para eso
pedimos la intercesión de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe y la ayuda de Cristo Rey… İViva Cristo Rey!
– P. Agustin
