Every second Saturday of the month, we serve lunch at the Saint Francis House soup kitchen. Please come help if you can. There are over 400 men and women who depend on Saint Francis House for lunch and the soup kitchen depends on volunteers like us to prepare, serve the food, and cleanup afterwards. Preparation starts at 9 a.m. and we're usually done with cleanup by 1 p.m.

If you're interested, please contact Joey George ( ) to let me know that you'll be there or if you have any questions.

Sundays After the 8 p.m. Mass

The 15 Promises the Blessed Mother gave to Saint Dominic and Saint Alan de Rupe for those that faithfully pray the Rosary.

Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive signal graces.
I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.
The Rosary will be a powerful armor against hell. It will destroy vice, decrease sin and defeat heresies.
It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
Those who recommend themselves to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish.
Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.
Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.
Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death, the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.
I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in heaven.
You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
All those who propagate the Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life & at the hour of death.
All who recite the Rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only son, Jesus.
Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

We need an army of "prayer warriors" to draw from heaven the graces necessary for young men to respond with generosity to the call of our Lord to the religious life. Please consider joining the Saint Therese Vocation Society. The Society was founded to pray for vocations for the Oblates of the Virgin Mary and is based on the inspiration of Saint Therese of Lissieux to offer her life for more priestly vocations. All members of the St. Therese Vocation Society receive a share in all of the Masses, prayers and good works of Oblate priests, bothers and seminarians; a special Mass offered each month for the intentions of the Society's members and the Oblate newsletter and updates on our candidates.

If you are interested, please pick up a brochure in the back of the church or call 617 266-5999 x130 for more information.

If you do not want to join the society but would like to say the daily prayers for vocations to the Oblates please pick up one of the prayer cards in the back of the church.

On October 19, 2007 the Oblates of the Virgin Mary held a spiritual concert conducted by Fr. Pierre Paul, OMV, Maestro di Cappella of the Papal Basilica in Rome. The concert consists of eight tableaus which weave scriptural texts and writings of the founder of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary together with classical pieces of music to provide an experience of inspiration. The concert was professionally recorded and is available on audio CD. A sample of the concert can be downloaded here.

For more information, call 617-536-4141 x127 or e-mail us.

In a recent Boston Glob article, Father David Beauregard argues in his new book, "Catholic Theology in Shakespeare's Plays," that Shakespeare was Catholic. View the rest of the article here.

Jesus gave the following promise to Saint Margaret Mary for souls devoted to His most Sacred Heart:

"I promise you, in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the first Friday for nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving the sacraments; My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in that last moment."
