Looking Back Helps Us Look Forward in Hope

Many of us would prefer to forget much of what we experienced in 2020, and the idea of looking back may feel like an ill-timed suggestion. Yet, as we cele-brate the gift of God's love in the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ, we are reminded of the big picture and God’s plan for our salvation. When God’s chosen people were exiled from all that was familiar to them (an experience we have tasted this year), the word of the Lord came to them through the prophet Jeremiah: “For I know well the plans I have in mind for you… plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope” (Jer.29:11). We believe that hope was fulfilled in many ways, but most fully in the loving gift of Jesus with and among us – Emmanuel In the Holy Family, this fragile baby was dependent upon Mary and Joseph for His every need. And times of hardship like we have experienced remind us how much we are dependent on God’s loving presence in our lives, sharing our sufferings and lifting our chin so we can look up and see the blessings we have and those God has yet in store! We believe that this Jesus who was born in a par-ticular place and time continues to act powerfully in our world today. We believe that Jesus comes in each of our hearts and each person we meet, which is why He can say, “I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink…” (Matthew 25:31-40). Whether in person, by phone or online, each of us has opportunities to bring Emmanuel into the lives of others. While none of us is perfect, I pray that collectively our parishes are communities where you feel at home and spiritually supported in this way. We are in the midst of a special Holy Year of the Eucharist, another cause for hope and joy as Jesus is with us and Christ is in us! If we develop the eyes of faith to see His hand at work, we can see how Jesus Christ is longing to meet us in His Holy Word, in the Mass and the sacraments, and in prayer. In the parish community, we help one another to open our hearts to a closer relationship with Jesus and others who are striving to follow in His ways. We are so grateful to all our parish volunteers and staff who helped us get started sharing the Mass online from the beginning of the pandemic. They continue to help us improve our livestreaming and recording for local cable.

Join Our Hospitality Team

In order to continue offering safe, socially distanced Mass-es at a variety of times, we need more help! Dedicated hos-pitality volunteers serve as greeters and ushers at weekend Masses, and help at baptisms, weddings, and funerals as well. If you are interested in joining our Hospitality Team, please contact Michelle at mdelorenzo@pwc.church (St. Martha Parish) or Courtney at ccunniff@pwc.church (St. Mary Parish), or call your parish office.

UPDATE TO OFFICE HOURS The office of St. Martha will be closed Dec. 29-Jan.1. The office of St. Mary will be closed Dec. 31-Jan1.

Happy New Year from our hearts to yours!

UPDATE TO OUR PRAYER LIST We regularly pray as a community of faith for those listed in our bulletin who are in need of healing or currently serving in the U.S. Military. From time to time, we need to refresh these lists to be sure they are accurate and current. Please contact your parish office before the end of the year if you want your loved one to remain on either of these lists, or if you know of someone who should be added. In January we will begin anew with only the names you have recently confirmed or provided. While not wanting to exclude anyone from our prayers, we need your help to keep these lists up-to-date.

The Cape Cod Bus for Life, a 501c3 supported by members of the Knights of Columbus, is of-fering 2 nights of accommoda-tions along with motor transpor-tation and an authentically Cath-

olic approach to the March for Life experience through Prayer, Mass, and fellowship with lay faithful and members of the clergy who offer sacraments to our pil-grims. Off Cape pickup/drop off at St. Martha's departs morning of Thursday, January 28th, 2021 and returns Saturday, January 30th. Two nights double occupancy and motor coach transportation is included for only $325/person.

Our Catholic calendars are available by the church doors. We would like to thank our sponsors, Cataldo's Paint & Hard-

ware, and Sperry & McHoul Funeral Home.

Friends of Adoption and Foster Care Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Friends’

dropbox. We recently delivered over 750 diapers, 1,380 wipes, 6.5 pounds of formula, and $275 in gift cards. The DCF workers were very grateful for the donation, which benefits foster families and families that are struggling to

meet their children’s needs. Your generosity is appreciated and is needed more than before. Diapers, wipes, and formula may be placed in the box at the entrance to St Mary’s hall (at the rear of the church) or in the bin at the back entrance of

St. Martha’s. Thank you!!

Other volunteers as special Greeters, Ushers, and “sanitizers” allow us to offer in-person Masses safely with as much of the warmth of our Parish Families as possible. And we are gradually adding Communion visits to homes when it is safe to do so (right now only on the porch or at the doorway). Whether you are a local resident, visiting for Christmas, or joining us from elsewhere online, I in-vite and encourage you to maintain the momentum of God's Spirit drawing you to grow closer to Christ – in our parish churches or in your local church back home. The honor of your participation (in person or by video) is the gift we have been wishing for this Christmas. On behalf of these communities of faith, I wish a Blessed Christmas and New Year to you and your loved ones!

— Fr. Joe
