Thank you to all who helped with putting together our Kentucky Derby themed Gala this past Saturday night!! Our Committee, very generous donors, Fr. Chris and the LifeTeen Band for lively music, and of course all of you who were able to make it a true celebration. Thank you !!!

The Catholic Appeal provides support for our Catholic schools, operational support for our parishes, faith and formation programs at our parishes, and many services for those in our community who turn to our Church for assistance. Many of you may have received a letter from Cardinal Seán requesting your early support by making a gift to the 2022 Catholic Appeal. We hope that you will respond generously. You are helping put faith into action in countless and far-reaching ways and every gift makes a difference. Thank you.

The Catholic Appeal supports the 280 parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston. Your help is needed more than ever as budgets have been stretched this year due to the pandemic. Since we are not doing the usual envelopes this year, donations can be left in the Offertory basket at Sunday Mass (checks should be made payable to Catholic Appeal) or go to bostoncatholicappeal.org and follow the directions under the “Donate” tab. Thank you for your generosity!

Although this year all events are virtual due to the Pandemic, we can still stand together for life. For local events throughout the week see BostonCatholic.org or follow @EvangelizeBoston. On January 28 to 29 a Vigil and Mass will be celebrated at the National Shrine. Details can be found at NationalShrine.org/mass.
