GOD MOMENTS - PLEASE SHARE WITH US!
�
The sacred heart of Jesus is o�en outwardly displayed in pictures
with vibrant color, crowns and flames allowing us to sense the
divine and uncondi�onal love that comes from God. Our heart is
the life force of each of us so it is no wonder that it is the symbol
of love.�
�
Have you ever heard that someone “has a heart?’” This simple
statement evokes images of mercy, compassion, sympathy, and
understanding � so like the divine love of God for all. It is no won-
der that in this pandemic �me the ul�mate symbol of all that is good is the heart. Throughout the town win-
dows and trees, doors and cars display hearts � hearts of love, hearts of gra�tude, � and so much more. So
this week we share some of the hearts being shared for those we want to thank: �

ELENA’S FAVORITE SAINT
�
Confirma�on Candidate, Elena Gonzalez, shares with
us her story as to why St. Elizabeth of Hungary is her
favorite saint. St. Elizabeth’s story reminds Elena of
both of her grandmothers. �
�
“My grandmother’s name was Elizabeth. She was a
very giving person. She spent much of her free me
volunteering for different organiza ons in our town
and helping out friends and family in need without
expec ng anything in return. My Spanish abuela is
also named Elizabeth. Just like my American grand-
mother, my Spanish abuela volunteers in her
church by teaching CCD, pre�marital classes, and
volunteering to help those in need.”�
�
Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to fill us with the gi�s
of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel,
courage, reverence, and awe, so that through study-
ing the saints we are made saints and taught the
meaning of holy living.�
Let us remember the following Confirmandi
in our prayers as they are awai'ng the 'me
when they will receive the Sacrament of Con-
firma'on:�

WORDS FROM FATHER SCOTT
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,�
�
The stay�at�home advisory and suspension of the
public celebra�on of Masses and most parish minis-
tries caused by the pandemic forced us to get crea-
�ve in finding ways to provide opportuni�es and re-
sources for you to remain connected to the Church
and your parish and to deepen your faith, religious,
and spiritual lives while you were at home. Most, but
not all, of this crea�vity involved the use of technolo-
gy � email, websites, and social media (primarily Face-
book). I understand that technology, in general, and
social media, in par�cular, may not be possible or de-
sirable for some people, but it would not be wise for
us to leave these tools unused� in our tool box as we
seek to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and do
our part to form disciples for Him.�
�
It was Pope Saint John Paul II who first used the ex-
pression New Evangeliza�on. The word "new" implies
that there was an old evangeliza�on! Indeed! The
Church has always been about the work of evangeli-
za�on � sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. Pope
Saint John Paul II would iden�fy what was "new"
about the evangeliza�on of which he spoke when
talking to all the bishops of La�n America in 1983:
"Today evangeliza�on must be new in ardor, new in
method, and new in means of expression."�
�
When advisors to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI sug-
gested star�ng a YouTube channel, he responded, "I
want to be where the people are." He would later go
on to use a term, perhaps being the first to use it, �
the digital con�nent. If that's where people are living,
we should be there to learn the language and the cul-
ture of the digital con�nent so to make Christ present
there.�
�
Though Facebook is not everyone's "cup of tea", the
reach of each parish's Facebook page increased great-
ly during the stay�at�home advisory. During this �me,
the St. Mary of the Assump�on Parish Facebook page
went from 516 to 668 "likes" as of May 25, 2020. Dur-
ing that same �me, the St. Anthony Parish page went
from 359 to 554 "likes". That means that between the �
�
�
two parishes, 357 more people are receiving faith�
based messages today than were receiving them
about ten weeks ago and that, in total, over 1,200
people are receiving faith�based Facebook messages
from these parishes.�
�
Even when the pandemic is over, the use of technolo-
gy and digital media will remain an important tools
for our mission. Because of that, each parish in the
collabora�ve is working with Pro Sound Service of
Braintree to install cameras and technology in the
respec�ve church buildings to allow for easier and
more professional livestreaming of Masses, celebra-
�ons of other Sacraments, and prayer services. Think
beyond the pandemic. The family member or friend
who wants to be present for a Funeral, Wedding,
Bap�sm, Confirma�on, First Communion, or any oth-
er prayer service in the church, but can't because of
age, health, distance, or any other reason, will be
able to watch it live. Each parish has generous do-
nors who are funding the equipment and installa�on
for the livestreaming.��
�
In addi�on, our parishes will be adding tex�ng to our
communica�on tools when we switch from Constant
Contact to Flocknote. Flocknote is an email and tex-
�ng communica�on tool created by faith�filled people
for churches. Flocknote can help us reach more peo-
ple at a moment's no�ce, o�en resul�ng in higher
a,endance, increased stewardship, and more con-
nected parishes.�
�
I look forward to taking our next steps together as we
con�nue the gradual and incremental return to a full
schedule of public Masses and ministries in our par-
ishes.�
�
Your brother in Christ,�
�
Fr. Sco,�
