This past Tuesday, May 26, Fr. Jim and members of our Collaborative Service Commission presented a check for $35,346.49 to the MassBay Community College Foundation in support of their Textbook Assistance Fund.
Your generosity will help students prepare for a successful future regardless of economic barriers.
Thank you for your support for this wonderful cause and your heartfelt support of our neighbors at MassBay!
Pope Leo XIV will preside over a worldwide rosary for peace May 30, uniting Marian shrines across continents in simultaneous prayer to close the Catholic Church’s month of devotion to the Virgin Mary.
The pope will lead the prayer from the Lourdes grotto in the Vatican Gardens at 7pm local time (1:00pm Eastern time) on Saturday. The livestream will be available at vaticannews.va.
Pope Leo will pray the joyful mysteries, with each of the five decades dedicated to those suffering the effects of war and violence, and entrusted to the intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace.
“Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together.” -Pope Leo XIV
The opening words of Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence, summarize its underlying reasons and purpose. The Pope signed the encyclical on May 15, the 135th anniversary of the promulgation of Pope Leo XIII’s Rerum novarum.

Please join us in congratulating Fr. James Taah on his graduation with a Licentiate in Sacred Theology (S.T.L.) from the Clough School of Theology and Ministry (CSTM) at Boston College!
We’re thrilled to let you know that Fr. James has been accepted into the Doctorate in Sacred Theology program at the CSTM, which means he will be remaining with us here at the Collaborative for at least a few more years!
This Memorial Day,
we pray for all members of the military,
especially those who died in service to others.
May we honor them by loving and caring for all those
they have left behind.
May they inspire us to live selflessly in our own lives,
as Christ calls us to do.
Amen.
In keeping with our new Family Faith Formation model and the guidance of the Archdiocese of Boston, this spring children began receiving the Sacrament of First Holy Communion with their families at a Sunday Mass – the same way they will receive the sacrament throughout their lives.
During April and May, 65 children in our Family Faith Formation program received their First Holy Communion at our Family Masses. Please keep them and their families in your prayers as they continue to grow in love and faith!
As we pause to assess participation in this year’s Catholic Appeal, we want to thank all who have generously supported the effort thus far! We know there are many good causes vying for your attention, and we are grateful for every gift that supports the Appeal…
Each year, the Archdiocese sets an assessment for each of its parishes. When parishioners’ giving surpasses the assessment, the parish receives a rebate (roughly 40% of the overage) from the Archdiocese. Here at the Collaborative, an estimate of the expected Catholic Appeal rebate (based on recent history) is included in each parish’s annual operating budget. If, however, a parish has a shortfall (the amount given by parishioners is less than the assessment), the parish is responsible for the difference between the parishioners’ donations and the assessment…
