A Few Words From Father Steve

Dear Friends,
This past week, I was honored to pray at the Town Meeting and to bless our town leadership. I am so grateful for the leadership that so many have demonstrated during these difficult days, so I share my prayer with you as I offer to you my overflowing grateful heart for your compassion, dedication and boundless love for our parish, our community, our town, our nation and for each other as individuals.

Lots of Love to you,
Father Steve

Our Loving God, we are blessed to be here in the Town of Marshfield, Massachusetts. Our citizens are second to none. The best part of serving this community is the people. No matter where we go, what we hear constantly is the wonderful love our residents have for our community. We have watched as our citizens come together for those in need no matter the circumstances, always stepping up to the plate. We are a community of patriotism and compassion, and in today’s world, both are vital to
keep on the forefront for all generations to come. As we approach the season of Thanksgiving, we thank you for making our Small Town America the absolute best hometown positively shining throughout the South Shore.

This Autumn Season is one of the most defined times to reflect on the blessings in our lives. As we reflect about the many blessings in our collective lives, one constant is always the dedicated men and women, who are our local town officials, who guide our town in whatever waters we see ourselves at any given time. The last year has been one of the most challenging years of our lives. The challenges of COVID-19 are no easy feat; they take time, change, support, and much patience. Sometimes, the severity of the challenges our town was facing and continue to face appear to be overwhelming. However, critical and irreplaceable factors to these challenges are the incredible individuals who are our town leadership. These men and women committed to the process, and because of their commitment and diligence, we are a better town today than we have ever been. The two words, thanks and giving, go hand in hand when we think of the men and women who serve our community every day. They give of themselves every single day by providing the best possible service to our citizens. Let us never forget the challenges we have overcome, and keep us fervent to place measures to continue evolving as we strive to be the best we can be. Although 2020 has brought various challenges, it has been a great year in the Town of Marshfield, due to our town leadership. We ask that you bless this coming year’s town leadership, as they continue to successfully progress over the coming year through numerous financial challenges and accomplishments, achievements of economic development, infrastructure improvements, and further enhancements in our quality of life and place. It has taken a village for us to be as successful as we are today and our village definitely includes our town’s workforce team that continually strives for the Town of Marshfield to be the best.

During these days as we face COVID-19, we are grateful for our First Responders and Medical Professionals, and everyone else who contributes to the public safety, health, and wellbeing of our community and our active-duty military service members, abroad and at home, for always being, ready, willing, and able to serve our country. Every single one of these professions and so many others work together and apart to nobly serve and protect our citizens. Lord, thank you for their dedication.

We are blessed here in the Town of Marshfield, in our safe and family-friendly community, a place of friendship, honesty, prayers, and support. As we keep our faith, family, and friends close to our hearts, may we always remember to pray to You for each other and lift up those who need it most during this upcoming holiday season.

We ask all this in Your Name. AMEN

BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE
