Last year, we had a beautiful evening when seven couples had

didn’t have to make endless plans. They didn’t have to go into
debt and spend thousands of dollars. We want to make the
sacrament available to all. Please let your siblings, children,
grandchildren, friends and co-workers know that it is possible for
them to get married in Church without being stressed out. For
more information, please contact the rectory and speak to one of
the priests.

ON THE BULLETIN COVER
St. Michael the Archangel
“At that time there shall arise Michael, the great prince,

SAINT MARY PARISH
My brothers and sisters in Christ,
A group of us from the parish are making a pilgrimage to the
Holy Land this week. Please know that we will be remembering
all the parishioners at all the Holy Sites that we visit. Please pray
that we have a safe journey. We will return on November 22.
– Father Michael
COUPLE NEEDING TRANSPORTATION
An couple who live in the Highlands is looking for someone to
drive them to the 10 a.m. Mass on Sundays. They miss going as
neither of them can drive anymore. Even if you are not able to do
it every Sunday, please know that any Sundays will help them
get to Jesus. Please call the rectory and ask for information.
CHURCH DAMAGE AND REPAIRS
Some people have asked about some of the stained glass
windows that are boarded up. We had a hail storm in August that
cracked many of the windows on the west side of the Church.
There is over $60,000 worth of damage, most of which is
covered by insurance. There are other repairs in the works. The
east wall near the statue of Our Lady in the sanctuary has
sustained heavy damage from rainstorms. It has taken a long
time to figure out the source of this damage. Recently, the
roofers found out that previous slate shingles that were installed
years ago had been too small. Water was able to get through. We
finally figured this out only after going into the attic during rain
storms, ruling out all other possibilities and pulling up some of
the shingles. On the surface, the shingles looked fine; only after
removing some did we find the problem. Three new sets of doors
on the south side of the Church (Main entrance) are being built
and are scheduled to be installed in the Spring. Lastly, the
kneelers in the latter section are being replaced. These are huge
projects that need to be done. They cannot be put off any longer.
Thanks for your support of the church collections. Pray that we
can pay the bills.
PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
The next meeting of the Prayer Shawl Ministry is Saturday,
November 21 at 2:30 at St. Mary Apartments. The members knit
or crochet shawls that are given to persons who are ill or
experiencing crisis. The group also prays for the recipients of
these shawls. All are welcome. For more information, please
contact Mary Alice McMahon at 781-899-9726.

Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
November 15, 2015
Queridos hermanos en Cristo:
El mes de noviembre es el mes en el que muchas personas alrededor del mundo recuerdan, oran y ofrecen misas por los fieles
difuntos. La iglesia siempre recuerda a nuestros familiars y
miembros de la comunidad, en cada misa, hay una petición por
todos aquellos que han fallecido.
Además de pedir por los que han fallecido, deberíamos orar
también por una Buena muerte, para nosotros y para todos, por la
intercession de San José, el Patrono para una Buena muerte.
La Santa Misa en español se transmite
todos los martes a las 8:00 PM y
el domingo a las 10:00 AM.
Si usted tiene cable,
el canal de Waltham es Verizon 47, Comcast 8, RCN 3
MINISTERIO DE LA SEMANA
San José es el Patrono para tener una Buena muerte porque cuando él murió, tuvo a su lado a Jesús y a María.
Grupo de apoyo a personas afectadas por Cáncer
En el evangelio, San Marcos nos recuerda que “Cuando lleguen
aquellos días, después de la gran tribulación, la luz del sol apagará, no brillará la luna, caerán las estrellas del cielo y el universo
entero se conmoverá. Entonces verán venir a Jesús sobre las
nubes con gran poder y majestad”.
Este grupo de sobrevivientes de Cáncer se reúne el
segundo sábado de cada mes en el edificio de Educación
Religiosa. A medida que compartimos nuestra trayectoria
con el cáncer, obtenemos fuerza y esperanza de otros, de
la Biblia, y del orar los unos por los otros. Los esperamos.
San Marcos está preparando a la comunidad perseguida por Nerón, sabe que muchos sufrirán el martirio, pero les recuerda que
al morir, después de sufrir nuestras propias tribulaciones, veremos a Jesús que unirá a sus fieles discípulos de los cuatro puntos
cardinals e iremos a Juicio Particular.
Ojalá que en el momento de nuestra muerte, también Jesús y
María estén allí y por supuesto San José a quien le pedimos que
interceda por todos, para tener una Buena Muerte y para que juntos seamos felices en el cielo.
– P. A gustin
NOVIEMBRE MES DE LOS DIFUNTOS
Durante el mes de noviembre la iglesia nos llama a recordar a
nuestros difuntos y orar por aquellos que ya pasaron de esta vida
a la otra. Oramos por sus almas y pedimos a Dios que tenga misericordia de ellos y perdone sus pecados. Pedimos a Dios que
recuerde sus buenas obras. Invitamos a todos a que escriban los
nombres de sus difuntos en el Libro de los Difuntos que se encuentra cerca de la pila bautismal. Oraremos por ellos durante
todo el mes de noviembre.
OFERTORIO
