ST. JOHN BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP: The book to be discussed on February 9 (7:30 p.m.,
St. John Parish Center) is Edmund Campion: A Life, by Arthur Evelyn St. John Waugh (known by his pen name Evelyn Waugh). (201 pages, paperback available for about $15.)
Edmund Campion was born in 1540 and grew up amid the religious upheavals following the break of
King Henry VIII and the Vatican. After delivering a speech of welcome before the new Queen, Elizabeth I, when she visited Oxford, Campion was ordained a deacon in Anglican Church.
Soon, however, he became disenchanted, recognizing that the Protestant church was not the true continuation of the faith of the apostles. He resigned his position at Oxford, became a Roman Catholic and after years of study, a Jesuit and in 1578 was ordained a priest. Two years later he returned to England and, disguised as a jewel merchant, moved between the houses of Catholics who practiced their faith in secret. He was betrayed and arrested in 1581 and soon tortured and hung.
Father Campion was declared a saint by Pope Paul VI in 1970, along with 37 other martyrs. Evelyn Waugh, one of the most celebrated British authors of his generation, became a Catholic at age 27. Perhaps the best-known of his many books is Brideshead Revisited, published in 1946 and later made into a feature film. For further information on the book discussion group please contact John Stewart at 617 969 0950 or [email protected].

COLLABORATIVE NEWS
COLLECTION SUNDAY - This weekend January 28-29 As many of you know, last year the proceeds of St. John’s Lenten gift went to Catholic Charities/Boston for their Refugee Relief activities. CC/Boston
settles between 300-400 refugees each year and the majority of these refugees come from African countries including DR Congo, Eritrea and Ethiopia as well as Middle Eastern countries including Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan.
After these families and individuals have been resettled in the Boston area by CC/Boston, they need assistance in so many ways. One way we can help out is to collect household items that are needed in their apartments. As such,
St. John’s Service Commission has organized a Collection Sunday this weekend January 28/29. This Saturday and Sunday, St. John’s will be collecting Household Cleaning supplies, including dish soap, sponges, laundry detergent, brooms (either upright or whisk brooms) and microfiber mops/dusters.
This is a wonderful opportunity to get your children involved in a service activity. Imagine the conversations that will ensue as you explain why these families need to uproot and resettle in the United States, far from family and a familiar culture! Please bring your donations to either Powers Hall, the library or the Glen Road entrance at St. John Parish. If you have any questions about Collection Sundays, please don’t hesitate to contact the Parish Office (781-235-0045).
TAX STATEMENTS were mailed to all parishioners last week.
