    • Congratulations on the birth of your precious child! This is an exciting and joyous time for your family, as well as theChurch.  It is through baptism we become one with Christ and a member of His Holy Catholic Church.

      In Baptism, the Holy Spirit moves us to answer Christ's call to holiness. In Baptism, we are asked to walk by the light of Christ and to trust in his wisdom. We are invited to submit our hearts to Christ with ever deeper love. ~from the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults

      For more information, or to set up a baptism for your child, please contact Father Reilly at: [email protected]. Or call the office at (781) 245-2711.

      Baptisms are held on the second Sunday of the month at 12:30 PM.


      If you are an adult and wish to be baptized in the Catholic Church, contact Father Reilly and ask him about the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults or RCIA.

      In the Church's Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, through the ministry of the priest, it is Jesus who touches the sick to heal them from sin–and sometimes even from physical ailment. His cures were signs of the arrival of the Kingdom of God. The core message of his healing tells us of his plan to conquer sin and death by his dying and rising.

      The Rite of Anointing tells us there is no need to wait until a person is at the point of death to receive the Sacrament. A careful judgment about the serious nature of the illness is sufficient.

      When the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is given, the hoped-for effect is that, if it be God's will, the person be physically healed of illness. But even if there is no physical healing, the primary effect of the Sacrament is a spiritual healing by which the sick person receives the Holy Spirit's gift of peace and courage to deal with the difficulties that accompany serious illness or the frailty of old age. 
      ~from the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults


       


      Care while someone is ill or dying

      What is Palliative Care?

      According to the Catholic CEO Healthcare Connection’s Clinical Quality Leadership Forum, a palliative care program is a model of care for patients with chronic medical or life-limiting illnesses, delivered by a multidisciplinary team including doctors and nurses, social workers, pharmacists, ministers and volunteers. Palliative care is both a philosophy of care and an organized, highly structured system for delivering care that identifies and addresses the physical, psychological, spiritual and practical burdens of illness. “It expands traditional diseasemodel medical treatments to include the goals of enhancing quality of life for patients and family members,” said Indu Spugnardi, director, advocacy and resource development, for the Catholic Health Association in Washington, D.C.

    Vocations/Holy Orders for Men
    • could be god be calling you?

      The Office of Vocations for the Archdiocese has created a one-of-a-kind video series called Scivias: Know the Ways of the Lord as a vocational discernment guide for men considering the priesthood.  Artfully filmed in partnership with CatholicTV, the series is narrated by millennial priest Fr. Michael Zimmerman, who is often seen visiting friends and communities of faith passionate about their own callings to authentically serve the Lord. Fr. Michael hopes this series will help young men recognize how pursuing God’s plan for their lives will fulfill their greatest desires. 
       
      Even though the Scivias Series is designed to assist men interested in becoming priests, it will benefit pretty much everyone in some way.

      Twenty-seven episodes will be produced. We will link each episode to this page, as they are released.

      Call Father Reilly if you have any questions or would like guideance on this calling.

      Prayer for vocations to the Priesthood

      The greatest gift Jesus left us is His Body and Blood.   Pray daily for more vocations to the Priesthood.  

      God our Father, 
      Who wills that all men be saved 
      And come to the knowledge of Your Truth: 
      We beg you to send 
      Laborers into Your harvest, 
      And grant them grace to speak Your Word 
      With all boldness; so that Your Word 
      May spread and be glorified, 
      And all nations may know You, 
      The only God, and Him whom You have sent, 
      Jesus Christ your Son, Our Lord. Amen.
