Dear Parishioners,Beginning on Sunday, September 1st until Sunday, October
6th, our parish will join Christians throughout the world in cel-ebrating the “Season of Creation.” This annual celebration of prayer and action is aimed at raising our consciousness about the need to protect all of God’s beautiful, grace-filled creation. It is a time, particularly for us as Catholics, to encourage one another in finding new ways to put Pope Francis’s 2015 encyc-lical, Laudato Si, into practice.
The theme of this year’s world-wide celebration is “the web of life.” Because of “our way of life,”, according to the United Nations, an estimated 1 million species are “threat-ened” with extinction in the next few decades. This year’s theme, therefore, highlights the “urgent need” we have to protect biodiversity and thus become better stewards of our world.
In preparation for this celebration, our parish has offered throughout the sum-mer a Laudato Si circle. Fol-lowing the six chapters of the encyclical, a small group of parishioners have been meeting for six weeks to read, pray and reflect upon each chapter. The Green Team of our Peace, Justice and Reconciliation Commission also has continued to provide us with prayers and suggestions for how we can each do our part to better care for our global environment.
During the Season of Creation itself, our music, our church’s art and environment, and our Prayers of the Faithful will re-flect our participation in this celebration.
Among the specific events we have planned is a forum on the climate emergency: “the Earth is Crying: What is Our Re-sponse?” This forum will be held on Sunday, September 15th after our 5:30pm mass in the Lannon Chapel.
In addition, this year from September 20th to 27th, we will try to do our part to support an “All Ages Climate Strike.” This movement, begun in Sweden by a teenager, Greta Thunberg, who began protesting outside of Parliament about the need for immediate action to combat climate change, has expanded to include an estimated 1.4 million students in 112 countries
Estimados Feligreses,Comenzando el Domingo 1 de Septiembre hasta el Domin-
go 6 de octubre, nuestra Parroquia se unirá a los cristianos de todo el mundo para celebrar la "Temporada de Creación". Esta celebración anual de oración y acción tiene como objetivo ele-var nuestra conciencia sobre la necesidad de proteger a toda la creación llena de gracia. Es un momento, particularmente para nosotros como católicos, alentarnos mutuamente a encontrar nuevas formas de poner en práctica la encíclica de 2015 del Papa Francisco, Laudato Si.
El tema de la celebración mundial de este año es "la red de la vida". Debido a "nues-tra forma de vida", según las Naciones Unidas, se estima que un millón de especies están "amenazadas" de ex-tinción en las próximas déca-das. El tema de este año, por lo tanto, destaca la "necesi-dad urgente" que tenemos de proteger la biodiversidad y así convertirnos en mejores administradores de nuestro mundo.
En preparación para esta celebración, nuestra parro-
quia ha ofrecido durante todo el verano un círculo Laudato Si. Después de los seis capítulos de la encíclica, un pequeño grupo de feligreses se ha reunido durante seis semanas para leer, rezar y reflexionar sobre cada capítulo. El Equipo Verde de nuestra Comisión de Paz, Justicia y Reconciliación también continuó proporcionándonos oraciones y sugerencias sobre cómo po-demos hacer nuestra parte para cuidar mejor nuestro medio ambiente global.
Durante la Temporada de Creación misma, nuestra música, el arte y el ambiente de nuestra iglesia, y nuestras Oraciones de los Fieles reflejarán nuestra participación en esta celebración.
Entre los eventos específicos que hemos planeado se en-cuentra un foro sobre la emergencia climática: “La Tierra está llorando: ¿Cuál es nuestra respuesta?”. Este foro se llevará a cabo el domingo 15 de septiembre después de nuestra misa a las 5:30 pm en la Capilla de Lannon.
Además, este año, del 20 al 27 de septiembre, intentaremos hacer nuestra parte para apoyar una "huelga climática para to-

around the world who participated in the strike on March 15, 2019. The movement is now asking adults to join them. See https://globalclimatestrike.net
On Monday, September 30th at 7pm in the Upper Church parishioners are invited to a prayer service that will include a specially written Rosary: On the Mysteries of Creation.
To conclude our celebration of the Season of Creation our Lay Preaching Council will offer reflections at the masses, on the weekend of October 5th and 6th.
I do hope you will be able to participate in these events. Since whether or not the record heat this summer in Boston was directly the result of global warming, the soring tem-peratures do serve as a reminder of the ongoing and ever growing “greenhouse effect,” namely, of the gases caused by fossil fuels that trap heat preventing it from escaping from the Earth.
As we embark on the Season of Creation let us pray to-gether the words that are part of the special Rosary: Holy Spirit, Preserver of Life, grant us wisdom that we may be good stewards of God's creation, entrusted to us by the Fa-ther and redeemed by the life, death, and resurrection of Je-sus Christ. Amen.
Peace,Fr. Joe

das las edades". Este movimiento, iniciado en Suecia por una adolescente, Greta Thunberg, que comenzó a protestar fuera del Parlamento sobre la necesidad para una acción inmedia-ta para combatir el cambio climático, se ha expandido para incluir aproximadamente 1.4 millones de estudiantes en 112 países de todo el mundo que participaron en la huelga el 15 de marzo de 2019. El movimiento ahora está pidiendo a los adultos que se unan a ellos. Ver https://globalclimatestrike.net
El lunes 30 de septiembre a las 7pm en la Iglesia de arriba, los feligreses están invitados a un servicio de oración que incluirá un Rosario especialmente escrito: Sobre los misterios de la creación.
Para concluir nuestra celebración de la Temporada de Creación, nuestro Consejo de Predicación Laica ofrecerá re-flexiones en las misas, el fin de semana del 5 y 6 de Octubre.
Espero que puedan participar en estos eventos. Dado que si el calor récord de este verano en Boston fue directamente el resultado del calentamiento global, las temperaturas de porción sirven como un recordatorio del "efecto invernade-ro" en curso y en constante crecimiento, es decir, de los gases causados por los combustibles fósiles que atrapan el calor evitando que se escape de la Tierra.
Mientras nos embarcamos en la Temporada de la Creación, recemos juntos las palabras que forman parte del Rosario especial: Espíritu Santo, conservador de la vida, concéde-nos sabiduría para que seamos buenos mayordomos de la creación de Dios, confiados por el Padre y redimidos. por la vida, muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo. Amén.
Paz,El Padre. Joe
