Inspiring Hope Update
|
|
The repair project at the St. Joseph Parish Center is underway thanks to the generosity of parishioners who contributed to our Inspiring Hope Capital Campaign. The interior phase and most of the exterior phase of this project are expected to be completed in time for our School's opening in the Fall.
CATHOLIC APPEAL - While many aspects of our life have come to a standstill, the work of our ministries continues as we strive to meet the needs of those who are relying on our guidance and assistance. The sick and homebound continue to receive spiritual support and information over the phone from the Archdiocese’s Faith Community Nurses and Chaplains program. Our Pregnancy Help Centers continue to provide resources for women facing crisis pregnancies. Those suffering from addiction still need support and guidance and many have greater need for counseling and spiritual support during this time of heightened anxiety.
Your support of the Catholic Appeal ensures that these programs and services continue. With the knowledge that many of you are also facing challenging financial realities, and with concern for the people we serve, your prayerful consideration is greatly appreciated. Your donation will make a significant difference as we continue serving the Catholic faithful and all our brothers and sisters in need.

Parish Gift/Pledges Goal % of goal reached
St. Francis: $ 8,400 $21,159 39.70%

Cardinal Seán's Homily for Mass for Racial Justice
On June 13, 2020, Cardinal Seán celebrated a Mass for racial justice and healing at Castle Island. The Mass was the product of collaboration between Congressman Steven Lynch, Fr. Bob Casey and the parishes of South Boston. Nearly one dozen Boston city priests concelebrated the Mass.
Several members of the African American ecumenical/interfaith clergy attended, Bishop William Dickerson of the Greater Love Taabernacle Church spoke before the Mass, City Councilor Lydia Edwards was the lector and former State Senator Linda Dorcena-Forry led the prayers of the faithful.
We are pleased to provide you the text of the Cardinal's homily by clicking here.
We remember in our prayers our parishioners who have passed away during this difficult time.
May their loved ones find comfort and support in God's love.
