I commend to you Phoebe our sister,
who is also a minister (diakonos) of the church at Cenchreae,
that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the holy ones,
and help her in whatever she may need from you,
for she has been a benefactor to many
and to me as well.
Romans 16:1,2
Paul introduces Phoebe as sister, deacon and patron. Deacons are purveyors of Liturgy, Word and Charity. They see what needs to be done in God’s name. Theirs is a ministry of service. Phoebe served as a mother of the ancient Church, preaching the Good News of Christ’s resurrection. As our Church continues in an ongoing discernment regarding restoring women to the Permanent Diaconate (two Vatican commissions have been dedicated to it!), let us pray this weekend for the intercession of St. Phoebe, Deacon…
The Archdiocese of Boston Family Life team invites all parents who have lost a child to a one-day retreat led by Emmaus Ministry. Parents who have lost a child of any age, by any cause, no matter how long ago, are most welcome and invited to attend.
Losing a child of any age is horrific to endure. Focusing on the spirituality of the grieving process can help tremendously. Just as He comforted his grieving disciples on the road to Emmaus, Jesus comforts us and we comfort one another in this very special ministry.
Join other Emmaus parent companions in a warm and loving environment to think, to talk, to feel, and pray together. Find compassion, rest, and peace… at least for a time.

We are so disappointed, but out of an abundance of caution we are cancelling tonight’s Intentional Listening Session at St. Paul.
We have had multiple reports of Covid positives among Collaborative staff and parishioners in the past 24 hours, so we believe it is prudent to postpone the session.
Please Stay Tuned! We will let you know as soon as we have a new date and time for the evening session at St. Paul!
