Have You Ever Wondered “Who is the Deacon and Am I One to be Called?” If you are single or a sacramentally married, faith filled Catholic man, who loves the Church, would love to serve Christ and the Church as a minister of Charity, Word and Sacrament, you may discern God’s possible call to the Permanent Diaconate. St. Maria Goretti Parish is hosting Session 1 of a 3 session Permanent Diaconate Inquirers Program on Monday, September 30 at 7:00pm. The following 2 sessions will be held at the Pastoral Center, 66 Brooks Drive in Braintree, on Tuesday, November 5 at 7:00pm and Saturday, November 16, 9:00am - 2:00pm. This is a half day Discernment Retreat. Lunch will be provided. If you are married, you are strongly encouraged to attend all 3 events with your wife. This first session will discuss “Who is the deacon”, and address any questions you may have regarding the role and work of the deacon in the Church and community. The Diaconate Formation Program is 4 years in length and is open to single and married men who will be between the ages of 35 - 65 at the time of ordination. St. Maria Goretti Parish is located at 112 Chestnut Street, Lynnfield, MA.

Healthier Priests. Stronger Communities.
Funds from this special collection are managed by the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust – an independently managed trust with a majority lay board of trustees. The funds are used for the sole benefit of active and senior priests in good standing.
The strength and vibrancy of our communities depend largely on the welfare of our priests who tirelessly serve others from all walks of life.
Powerful examples of strength in community are visible across 144 cities and towns of the Archdiocese of Boston. The roots of these communities can be traced back to the work of our priests.
Pine Street Inn: A Boston priest was one of the original founders of Pine Street Inn, which provides shelter and emergency services for nearly 2,000 homeless men and women in the Boston area every day.
Cor Unum: Started by a Lawrence pastor, Cor Unum (“One Heart”) food pantry serves more than 250,000 meals annually to poverty-stricken families in Lawrence.
Addiction Support for Families: A Boston priest’s expertise in addiction and recovery has been instrumental for organizations helping families and individuals in the grips of addiction.
Rostro de Cristo: Efforts to help the poor on the margins of Ecuador’s largest city is hard work, except for those who have been inspired by a Boston priest who started Rostro de Cristo, an organization based in Boston that lives the Gospel and serves the poor.
It’s simple: healthier priests mean stronger communities. Please support clergytrust.org
