FROM THE PASTOR'S
DESK
This is Catholic Appeal Weekend
here at St. Christine’s. We, like all parishes throughout
the Archdiocese, will be showing a video message from Cardinal Sean at
all Masses and asking every Catholic household to participate by making
a pledge. The Catholic Appeal is a once-a-year pledge drive to benefit
the many central ministries and services of the Archdiocese of Boston.
The Appeal is to our Archdiocese what the weekly offertory is to our parish.
Because of the economic downturn, support of the Catholic Appeal is more
urgent this year.
Thank you in advance for joining with parishioners throughout the Archdiocese’s
291 parishes to carry on and renew the broader work of our Church. Every
gift matters. For more information, please visit www.BostonCatholicAppeal.org.
God bless you............... Father Tom
