Pam Newfell has been with St. Andrew Parish and the Catholic Community
of Billerica for over 20 years. This summer she will be retiring from her posi-
tion as Office Manager and Business Manger at St. Andrew. Pam’s love of St.
Andrew Church, the Catholic Community of Billerica, liturgy, music, and the
St. Andrew community are exemplified in all she does.
We would like to take a moment and show Pam our appreciation and thanks
for all her hard work over the years. Please stop by on Sunday, July 21 after
the 8am Mass at St. Andrew as we wish Pam well in her retirement.
For additional information or if you would like to help in any way, please contact Chris Kilburn at
[email protected] or 978-663-8816.

"… heed the voice of the LORD, your God, and keep his commandments
and statutes …,” Moses reminds us that the commandments are readily
accessible. In fact, he goes on to say they are “already in your mouths and
in your hearts; you have only to carry it out." Simply put - Love God, love your neighbor. Jesus presents that message in the familiar story of the
Good Samaritan – a story with a universal message of love, mercy and
kindness. The challenge is real. We need to trust that by God’s grace, we
already have what we need to carry out his command.
Congratulations and God’s many blessings to the
families of Robert John D’Agostino, Jr. who
was initiated into God’s family this past month at
St. Andrew. We wish for him a lifetime of learning
about God’s great and merciful love.

As summer weather has ar-
rived and some of us have
begun enjoying vacation time,
just a reminder that parish
expenses do not end! In or-
der to meet our expenses we
really need to sustain our
weekly offertory. So, to help
our parishes, parishioners
who worship at vacation
churches are asked to send a "catch-up donation"
to make up for their week(s) away. To those who
have already begun doing this, we thank you!
Volunteers Needed A fellow St. Theresa pa-
rishioner is in need of
transportation to and from
Mass. She lives near the
North Billerica Fire Station
in town. If you are able to
help in any way, please
reach out to Heather at 978-663-8816.
Friendly Reminder Please remember to keep the
first pew in ALL three parishes
available for people who may
have mobility issues. We ap-
preciate your kindness and con-
sideration in ensuring that it is
an easy experience for all to
receive Communion.
