The presence of Jesus can be communicated through
our lives and the language of gratuitous
and concrete love
April 29, 2017
From the Pastoral Associate
At every baptism preparation session, I ask parents to introduce themselves and answer
the question “What do you hope baptism will do for your child and for your family?” It is
easy to think about sacraments in terms of the first part of that question, what the effects will
be on the recipient of a sacrament. As a child receives the sacrament of baptism, it is the
hope of parents that it marks the beginning of a life of faith, salvation through Jesus Christ,
an official welcome to the community and to the family of God. The second part of the
question, what does a sacrament do for the family or the community at large can be a little more difficult to put
one’s finger on. This past weekend I was reminded of the role sacramental moments can play in the life of a
family as my daughter was confirmed along with 48 other young people. A sacrament is not an end point but a
point along a journey in which we can encounter God in a unique way. As I was witnessing my daughter’s
Confirmation, I too was struck by God’s overwhelming love for each of us. The joy in the assembly was
palpable, the witness of these young people inspiring. Yes, indeed the sacrament did do something for our
family that day. It was a reminder that we in fact witness God’s love for us in the small and sometimes
mundane moments of our lives and in the sacramental moments as well. The Holy Spirit is gift. It has been a
gift in my life, the life of my family, and the life of this community.
Are You Interested in Learning More
About the Catholic Faith?
Perhaps you have been worshiping with us, but have
never took steps to become Catholic or perhaps you
have joined us from a different denomination but
are now being called to the Catholic Church. The
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is the
process through which non-baptized individuals or
those baptized in another denomination become
members of the Catholic Church. This process is
also available to someone who may have been
baptized Catholic but has not received the
sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation. To learn
more about the RCIA program at St. Peter’s please
call Anna Molettieri at 617-547-4235 x117 or email

weeks. The picnic is open to our parishioners free of
charge. Don’t miss it!
How to Pray - Lectio Divina Workshop Saturday, May13, 8:45 a.m. - Noon, Parish Ctr
How do monks pray? This morning workshop will
present the monastic practice of Lectio Divina (the
prayerful reading of scripture) and suggest ways for
following this practice in daily living. Led by Fr.
Nicholas, a Benedictine monk and former Abbot of
Glastonbury Abbey, a monastery in Hingham. He has
taught and lead retreats at the abbey and elsewhere for
many years. Join us on Saturday morning, May 13,

We Need You to Bring the Eucharist to
Our Neighbors Who Cannot Be With Us
Our parish has a growing ministry to bring
communion to people who are in nursing homes,
assisted living facilities, hospitals, as well as to
people who are homebound. Please consider
volunteering! This is a wonderful way to share our
Eucharistic banquet with those who are nearby but
unable to be with us. You can fit this ministry to your
own schedule, in as little as an hour or two a week, on
weekdays or weekends. No prior experience is
needed. Deacon Tim O’Donnell and his wife Elke
will provide training and help with the logistics. If
you are interested in exploring this, please call or
email Deacon Tim at 617-897-1148 or
Food Pantry Needs
We currently need: Breakfast cereal, salad
dressing, parmesan cheese, condiments, salsa,
coffee creamer, honey, milk (such as Parmalat),
juice, healthy snacks such as granola bars, dried
fruit and fruit cups. You may leave your donations
in baskets at the church doors. Thank you!
