HEART OF PADRE PIO VENERATED

October 2—Twenty-seventh Sunday

in Ordinary Time

October is Respect Life Month. It is the

month of Guardian Angels and the

Missions. Today’s readings speak of

violence (Habakkuk), courage (St. Paul)

and faith (Jesus). Whether we are

speaking out on behalf of the unborn or

sharing how God has worked in our life,

take to heart Paul’s words, “do not be

ashamed of your testimony to our Lord”

Think of the testimony of our October

saints: Francis, Teresa of Avila, Therese

of Lisieux, Faustin, and the North

American martyrs—just to name a few.

Share your story, your testimony.

DIVINE MERCY FAITH FORMATION

You are invited to participate in a visual

presentation on Divine Mercy. This “retreat” is

based on Father Michael Gaitley’s book, The

Second Greatest Story Ever Told. This life drama

presentation (in DVDs) combines 500 years of

history, scripture, prophecy, and the lives of the

saints to show us God’s merciful love. Only a

workbook is necessary to augment the DVD

viewing and discussions. There is no book reading.

The meetings begin Monday, October 17 (7 PM—

8:30 PM) at St. Mary’s in Waltham in the

Religious Education Building (30 Pond Street).

Please contact Marianne Merola at

[email protected] for any further

information and registration.

Frank V. Berinato Honored by Veterans Service Committee

The heroic service of the late Frank V. Berinato, long-time parishioner of Our Lady’s, has been recognized by the Veterans Service Committee with the designation of the Disabled American Veterans Building, located at 18 Prospect Street, Waltham, to be known as the Frank Berinato Veterans Building. After the outbreak of WWII, and assigned to the famed “Yankee Division” of the Infantry, Mr. Berinato saw heavy fighting in Northern France, Rhineland, Central Europe, and the Ardennes, including the famed Battle of the Bulge in 1944-1945. Mr. Berinato earned many medals, including a Bronze Star, reflecting his courage under fire, initiative and devotion to duty.
