The St. John-St. Paul Society of St. Vincent de Paul would like to thank our collaborative community for their tremendous support of our recent Fill-the-Truck event. The response to helping those in need was tremendous – may God bless you all!
We will be back next fall with our next Fill-the-Truck event!
Please donate personal or small sized toiletry items to our collection for the guests of St. Francis House. Items may be placed in the boxes available at the back of both churches for collection on the weekend of October 26-27.
Suggested items include: shampoo, body lotion, soap, deodorant, shaving cream, toothbrushes and toothpaste.
Complimentary hotel items are totally acceptable!
Christmas in October??? Yes, that’s a scary thought!!!
But when it comes to fulfilling Christmas Wishes for 400 children we need to start thinking about Christmas in October! We have only 3 weeks to recruit volunteers to sign up to sponsor a child this Christmas – will you be one of them?
When you sponsor a child (or multiple children) through Christmas Wish, you will be given a wish list for clothing and a special gift that you will purchase and drop off at a local Wellesley home to be delivered to the families. Your instructions will be emailed to you the week before Thanksgiving and gifts will need to be dropped off the week after Thanksgiving.
We also welcome donations to help purchase gifts and gift cards for children not matched with sponsors…
With guest speaker Anne Mears
Tuesday, November 12 from 6:00 – 8:00pm
St. John the Evangelist Church
(Powers Hall and Lower Chapel)
All women of the Collaborative are warmly invited to come and join us in a space of reflection and inspiration as we explore the powerful and nurturing images of God which come to us through the writings of one of the great women mystics: Julian of Norwich. Anne Mears will guide us as we explore how Julian’s work can enrich our spiritual lives and the life of the Church today.
Stay for our pot-luck supper – bring a dish to share. Invite a friend! To help us plan for the evening, please let us know if you’re coming…
Below is Sr. Colleen Gibson’s recent article published in the National Catholic Reporter.
A few weeks ago, in the run-up to the opening of the second session of the synod on synodality, the Prayer of the Faithful in our parish offered an intention for the synod and its delegates. Together we prayed: “For the synod: that as delegates gather in Rome this week, they may carry with them the cares and concerns of the communities they represent — speaking freely, listening deeply and engaging prayerfully in their efforts to follow the Spirit’s guidance.”
After Mass, a parishioner stopped me in the church foyer. “Is that still going on?” they asked.
My face clearly revealed I didn’t know what they were talking about…
