This year we have the most amazing group of young people in our Summer Academy. They have been very fortunate to have the best pro-life speakers and a lot of extra perks. On this Wednesday, August 16, at 6:30pm, they will be commissioned as Ambassadors for Life by Dr. David Franks, Chair of the MCFL Board. You are invited to share their Commissioning and to stay for the movie October Baby. The location is St. Mary Parish Hall, 392 Hanover Street, Hanover. Studies show that the best way to get a person involved in the pro-life movement is to bring them to an event. This is your chance to invite someone you have been wanting to bring along. Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Anne Fox, President of Massachusetts Citizens for Life

Friday, August 18, 2017 Greetings from the USCCB, The Bishops' Call to Prayer Friday intention is here! Thank you for joining the USCCB and thousands of Catholics praying and fasting every Friday for the renewal of a culture of life and marriage, and for the protection of religious liberty in our country. Your prayers matter! Your sacrifices make a difference.

Holy Family Parish - This Weekend's Readings This Sunday's Mass comes on the heels of horrific events in Charlottesville, VA and Barcelona, Spain. Despite all our fancy technology, our nation and the world remain torn and wounded by racism, hatred and violence. The gospel this weekend recounts a story whereby Jesus connects with a foreign women; someone Jesus would have been taught to avoid. Segregation isn’t something unique to American South of the early 20th century. It was alive and well at the time of Jesus. People lived apart, separate from those who were different. And yet through an animated conversation, Jesus connects with this foreign woman. He builds a bridge. He opens a door. Healing follows. The baptism we received, wasn’t a calling to simply engage with people who look, live, act and think like us. Baptism is a mandate to “push it further.” Like Jesus we are called to build bridges and open doors—in territories that are unfamiliar strange and foreign. That “territory” might be the newly-married couple across the street, the immigrant family across the street, the parish across the street. The mission of the church is to be Catholic, that is, to be universal. Pray that in a world and a city where violence too often rules and where we can become too comfortable “keeping to ourselves,” That we, like Jesus, would open doors and build bridges. He never meant it to be a “comfy” thing, just between those we know. Then, allow the river of grace to flow. Strangers, beginning to see something of Christ in the “sameness” of each other Amen
