HOLY HOUR FOR LIFE JANUARY 21, 2009

Sponsored by Boston Deacons For Life in collaboration with the Office for Clergy Support and Ongoing Formation, and the Pro Life Office of the Archdiocese of Boston

Holy Hours for Life will be held across the Archdiocese of Boston on January 21, the Vigil of the National Day of Prayer and Penance, praying in solidarity with thousands of pilgrims going to Washington, D.C. for the March For Life. The Holy Hours will be held simultaneously at parishes throughout the Archdiocese and on the buses carrying our teens and seminarians to Washington, D.C. We will pray together for those who have been wounded by abortion, for respect for the dignity of human life from conception to natural death, and that those who govern us may be guided by justice, truth, and a love for the gift of life. We are encouraged by the response to this invitation. There are 133 confirmed parishes (plus two convents). If you have not yet had the opportunity to sign up, and in order for your parish to participate with the full support of materials available, the ProLife Office would like to hear from you no later than January 9. All materials are free and are available in English and in Spanish, including the Prayer Booklet for the Holy Hour. For more information, contact the Pro Life Office at 508.651.1900 or ProLifeOffice@rcab.org.

May the Soul of Mary McCarthy Rest in Peace,

May her sould and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace.

There is going to be a funeral that you will all be invited to. It looks like it will be on Thurday at St. Joseph's church in Medford, MA but I don't know for sure yet.

I will let you all know as I find out.

In Christ,

Fr. St. Martin

God is good to give us these men as servants for us. He is showing us the love of Christ his son through these young men.
