Blessings upon you on this holy day! The second collection this
weekend (May 30-31) is for our Grief Ministries. We have a number
of different ways in which we assist people who are suffering
because of the death of a loved one. One group, run by Fr. Joe
Quinn, OFM, meets with people who have recently lost loved ones.
The Emmaus group, run by Diane and Charley Monaghan, assists
parents who have lost a child. Often people find our Spiritual
Companionship program helpful. This program is directed by Fr. Gene
Pistachio, OFM. And finally, often people find help at the
Counseling Center here at the Shrine. That Center is run by Br.
Paul OKeeffe, OFM. All of these programs have related costs, so we
thank you for your contributions toward these good programs.
The weekday Rosary prayer group meets on Thursdays at 12:30pm in
front of the Mary, Mother of God, statue in the first floor church.
This is a new gathering and we are grateful for the enthusiasm that
this new group has generated.
AARP magazine has named Downtown Crossing (the neighborhood of
the Shrine) as the third most livable neighborhood in the United
States. One of the things that makes a neighborhood livable, I
would gently suggest, is having a nice convenient place to place to
pray!
The Shrine is beginning a training program for people who would
like to become certified as spiritual directors. This program will
begin in September 2015. Classes will take place here on Arch
Street on the third Saturday of the month, with four meetings per
semester. The program includes the reading of current spiritual
direction books and articles, leading prayer, listening to and
interacting with guest speakers, practicing spiritual direction
skills, doing an internship under the direction of an individual
supervisor and peer supervision, presenting oral and written
papers, and making a retreat. The program is credentialed through
Cardinal Stritch University, a Franciscan University in Milwaukee
WI. The curriculum was developed by Sr. Linda Greenwood, OSF, of
the San Damiano House of Prayer in Lowell, Massachusetts. The
Director of the Shrines program is Nancy Nichols Kearns who can be
reached at 617-542-6440 x120 and [email protected] Please
contact her for more information. My thanks to Nancy for her
terrific work in beginning this program.
As you can gather from my recent bulletin letters, I spend much
of my time these days on long-term plans for the Shrine. There are
a remarkable number of new initiatives here. We Arch Street friars
are so grateful for the hundreds of terrific people who partner
with us on our ministries. Please know that the friars of Holy Name
Province (Franciscans on the east coast of the U.S.) are very
committed to a long-term presence here in downtown Boston. Peace
and all good things!
