ST. EULALIA PARISH FIRST SUNDEY OF LENT MARCH 9, 2014

PARISH MINISTRIES AND ACTIVITIES

CATHOLIC APPEAL 2014

Thanks to the many parishioners who

pledged to the Catholic Appeal last

weekend during our in-pew solicitation, as well as to those

prior donors who had previously responded to the mailing they

received. Through your support of this Appeal, our parish

community follows Pope Francis' encouragement "to go for-

ward in hope" as we support the ministries that bring to life the

Gospel message across the Archdiocese of Boston. If you

have yet to make a pledge to the 2014 Appeal, please complete

a pledge form available in the booklet rack in the foyer of the

church or visit BostonCatholicAppeal.org to donate

online. Thank you for your prayers and support.

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION

On the Frist Sunday of Lent (March 9th) Katherine, our parish catechumen (an unbaptized person formally preparing to receive the

Sacraments of Initiation) will be received as a catechumen/elect by Cardinal O’Malley at a ceremony celebrated at the Cathedral of

the Holy Cross. A rite sending her to the cathedral for the Rite of Election will be celebrated at the 11:00 A.M. Mass this weekend.

The Lenten Season is the forty day period during which catechumens make their proximate preparation for full initiation into the

Church at the Easter vigil service. It is also the period during which we the baptized prepare ourselves to renewal our own baptismal

commitment at the Easter Feast.

Beginning March 12th and on all the Wednesdays of Lent

(except March 26th) from 6:30-8:00pm, St. Eulalia and all the

parishes and chapels of the Archdiocese of Boston will be open

for individual confession. The archdiocese has set up a website,

www.TheLightIsOnForYou.org, to help you prepare. It has vid-

eos on the Sacrament of Reconciliation, sheets on how to make a

good confession, answers to frequently-asked questions and

more. Please make plans to come on Lenten Wednesdays and

spread the word of this special outreach of mercy to those you

know.

EVANGELIZATION CORNER

From Rev. Robert Rivers’ book

From Maintenance to Mission:

After Jesus returned to heaven, he and the archangel Gabriel

were talking. Jesus still bore the marks of his crucifixion.

Gabriel said, “Master, you must have suffered horribly!

Does everyone know and appreciate how much you loved

them and what you did for them?”

Jesus replied, “Oh no, not yet. Right now only a few people

know.”

Gabriel was perplexed. “Then what have you done to let

people know about your love?”

Jesus answered, “I have asked Peter, James, Mary, and

John, and a few other friends to tell people about me. Those

who are told will tell others, until the last man and the last

woman in the farthest corners of the earth will have heard

my story. They will know about my life, death, and resur-

rection. They will know of my love for them.”

Gabriel frowned and looked rather skeptical. “Yes, but

what if Peter and the others grow weary? What if the peo-

ple who come after them forget? Surely you have made oth-

er plans?”

Jesus said: “Gabriel, I have no other plans. I am counting

on them.”

LENTEN PRACTICES

ASH WEDNESDAY, March 5, 2014, and GOOD FRIDAY, April

18, 2014, are days of fast and abstinence. FRIDAYS OF LENT are

also days of abstinence.

FASTING is to be observed by all 18 years of age and older, who

have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday. On a fast day, one full

meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength,

may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they

should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not

permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices, are allowed.

ABSTINENCE is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On

days of abstinence, no meat is allowed. Note that when health or

ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not

oblige. When in doubt concerning fast and abstinence, the parish

priest should be consulted.

KEEPING LENT BY

poor in mind when you’re shopping by pur-

chasing an item or two or more for those who

have financial struggles. Your non-perishable

food donation may be left in the baskets located in the stair-

wells and foyer. They will be distributed to food pantries. If

you prefer to contribute by check, please make the check paya-

ble to St. Eulalia Parish and mark “Food” in the memo.

Checks or cash should be placed in an envelope marked

“Food” and dropped in an OSR box. Thank you for your gen-

erous response to the poor.

FOOD DRIVE

Next weekend, March 15-16, our parish is

holding its monthly food drive. Please leave

food bags in the stairwell on the Pepper Hill

side of the church. Checks payable to St. Eu-

lalia or cash should be left in an envelope marked “Food”

and placed in the OSR box. This month the food will be

allocated to Project SOUP. Last month’s collection to St.

Matthew’s Food Pantry resulted in 58 bags of nonperisha-

ble goods and a sum of money. Your generous support of

our Food Ministry Program is deeply appreciated.

EASTER BASKETS FOR THE

HOMELESS

Again this year we will be constructing

Easter baskets for adults and children for

two homeless shelters of the Somerville

Homeless Coalition. This project is a great way to get the

children in the parish involved in a community service pro-

ject for Lent. Here is how you and your children can

help:

Starting March 5 (Ash Wednesday) through Sunday,

April 13th there will be a collection tub in the foyer of

the church for any toiletry items for adults and children

such as shampoo and conditioner; bath gels/liquid body

wash; lotions; soap; toothbrushes; toothpaste; razors;

shaving cream; lip balm; deodorant; dental floss and/or

traditional basket fare you may wish to purchase,

Donate a small denomination gift card that can be used

to purchase items needed for the baskets. Gift cards to

CVS, Target, Dunkin Donuts, etc. are welcome. Place

any gift card donations in the OSR boxes or bring them

to the Parish Office,

Come to Manion Hall on Wednesday, April 16th at

3:30pm to help construct the baskets with the commit-

tee. Children must be accompanied by a parent/

guardian; this is not a drop-off activity,

If you would rather make a cash donation, please make

checks payable to St. Eulalia Church, in the memo on

the check write “Easter Baskets” drop it in the OSR box

or bring it to the Parish Office. Any funds collected will

go either to purchase items needed for the baskets or be

given directly to the Somerville Homeless Coalition. If

you have any questions, please contact Christina Hurley

([email protected] or 781-643-2066) .

OPERATION RICE BOWL

Operation Rice Bowl, a Lenten project sponsored by Catholic

Relief Services, is an opportunity to identify with and assist

the poor in this country and overseas. The program has four

components: prayer, fasting, education, and almsgiving. We

encourage you to take home a Rice Bowl container and a home

calendar guide. Both items are to be found in the church foy-

er. Let our Lenten spirituality be rooted in solidarity with peo-

ple everywhere, especially with the poor. Rice Bowls should

be returned at the Holy Thursday Liturgy, when it is suggested

that “there be a procession of the faithful with gifts for the

poor.”

IT WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL TO THE

OFFICE if you would count any coin in the Rice

Bowl, round it up, and replace the coin with paper

money or a check to St. Eulalia indicating “Rice

Bowl” in the memo section.. Thank you.
