73rd CONSECUTIVE OUTDOOR WEEKEND MASS - OCTOBER 10

Thank you to those who volunteered to collect the signatures needed for the Citizen initiative petition for the 2022 ballot—to protect babies born alive with proper medical care.  This proposed law would require that, notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, if a child is born alive, all reasonable steps in keeping with good medical practice shall be taken to preserve the life of that child. 

With the passage of the ROE Act last December, Massachusetts is now among the most pro-death states in the country having removed the existing state law mandating lifesaving medical care to be administered to a child who survives an abortion. The Massachusetts Newborn Protection Coalition is conducting a fall statewide signature campaign to place a question on the 2022 ballot ensuring life-saving medical care for babies born alive after a failed abortion and to best reflect existing law that ensures proper health care provided to all people.  Those people who have differing views on life even support this common sense measure as a basic fundamental right to life and basic healthcare.  Volunteers will be available before and after each of the Masses this weekend, October 16/17 to acquire signatures.

Thank you very much for helping to protect the most vulnerable among us.

Adoration with Deacon Joe Hubbard

We pray in thanksgiving for our Pastor, Fr. James M. DiPerri as this past week he celebrated his 32nd Anniversary of Priesthood Ordination. 

The image below illustrates the Chalice containing the Blood of Christ and Sacred Host which is the Body of Christ resting upon the Sacred Scriptures, covered by the priestly stole of ordination highlighting the significance of Mass.  The olive branches symbolize the sacraments that blessed oil is used in their celebration. This artistic image appeared on Fr. DiPerri’s first Mass program in 1988.

Act of Consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary written by Fr. DiPerri.

Prayed publicly at first Mass on June 26, 1988 and prayed yearly on Ordination Anniversary

O Most loving Mother of God, as I continue the work of your Son, I confidently entrust my priestly calling to you. Guide and protect me that I may be faithful to your Son, Jesus, and His Church, by fulfilling the sacred promises of my priestly vocation. In my consecration to you, the Queen of Peace, may I ever seek refuge in your Immaculate Heart as I journey on this sacred pilgrimage. May I grow deeper in my love for the One God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and for His people. Holy Mother, may I remain faithful in God’s service to the end. Amen.
