Weekend of February 1/2

Father Scott’S thoughtS:

Follow the Lead of the Hockey Players?

On December 11, 2019, Colin Bannen of the Patriot Leger posted an article about Cohasset and Hull teaming up

for high school boys hockey. 16 varsity-eligible players from Cohasset and 8 varsity-eligible players from Hull

have set aside past rivalries and formed the co-op Cohasset/Hull high school boys high school hockey team.

Though Hull was previously part of a similar co-op team with Middleborough, the geographic distance did not

make sense. Sacred Heart Parish in Middleborough is a wonderful parish, but can you imagine trying to be with

them in a church collaborative? These two groups of high school hockey players are stronger together than either

would be alone.

While there are some differences in the analogy I am making, chief among them being the fact that the goal of Disciples in Mission is not

to form one large parish for Cohasset and Hull, but rather to have two vibrant parishes working together in mutually beneficial ways to

bring people to a new or renewed relationship with Christ and His Church, I think we can learn something from these high school hockey

players. What is the potential for these two parishes to be stronger working together than either could ever be working alone? What could

these two parishes do together that neither parish could do by itself? If this can happen in high school hockey, what is the potential for

two neighboring parishes who are both part of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church?

In the posting mentioned previously, the coaching staff points to the importance of the leadership of four senior captains, two from each

town, in the formation of this co-op team. While I promise you that I will lead as your pastor, the parishes and collaborative will need lay

leadership with whom I can work. Who will emerge as our “senior captains” as we move forward with strengthening these parishes

through the formation of the collaborative?

As we move forward, please join me in turning to Jesus Christ in prayer for all impacted by this upcoming transition – the parishioners

and staff members of the Catholic parishes in Amesbury and Salisbury and Cohasset and Hull, Father Michael, and me.

3rd Sunday in Orinary Time

From the Deacon’s Bench

Pause for a little while. Refrain from the urge

to want to control everything, know every-

thing, destroy everything; this comes from

overlooking gratitude for the gift of life and all

the good we receive.

LIVE LENT! 2020

“We strive to Live Lent! so we can live faith more authentically

each and every day - to make God real and present in our

hurting world through our loving actions.” Sr. Theresa Rickard, O.P

The Live Lent program is an opportunity to belong to a small faith

sharing group. It is an opportunity to be with other parishioners

who may be old friends, may be people you see at Mass but

whom you don’t know or may be people you’ve never met – but

all of whom are seeking the same thing, to transform oneself to be

the person God created one to be.

The program entails one meeting (90 minutes) a week for the six

weeks of Lent. A leader guides the meeting but everyone has a

book to guide the process including opening and closing prayers,

gospel readings and reflections from others that then help guide

discussion among the participants. Together people engage in

conversations that allow one to question and delve more deeply

into the intersections of faith in daily life, that help participants

discover God alive in each one’s life, and that help strengthen

one’s commitment to become the person God created one to be –

a person committed to love, service, compassion and forgiveness.

Lent is a season of change, Living Lent is the means to return to

God with your whole heart so to celebrate Easter with true joy!

Next week there will be more about logistics for the meetings and

you will hear from people who have participated in such a

program and who can answer questions. You will be able to sign

up for a group and choose the day and time you would like to

participate. Who should Live Lent? Anyone who wants to

commit to making this Lent the Lent that truly changes their

heart. Will you Live Lent this year?
