From the RectorVery Rev. Joseph Tizio, C.Ss.R.
Staffed byThe Redemptorists
I want to begin this week by congratulating Fr. Pierre and our Hai-tian community on the first anniversary of their weekly Saturday evening liturgy. Over the past year, Fr. Pierre has worked hard in his ministry to our Haitian community and it has been wonder-ful to watch our Haitian community grow to become more active members of our parish. We have and will continue to be enriched
with the beauty of the Haitian culture and their deep devotion to our faith. One of the beautiful aspects of our parish is its diversity and how people from so many different cultures feel loved and welcome. We are the Body of Christ, while we are each unique, we still form just one Body!
Also, this Tuesday is the Feast of All Saints and on the following day we celebrate All Souls Day. Every year I look forward to these two feast days because they celebrate our belief in the Communion of Saints. The Church does not just live here on earth but en-dures through eternity, the effects of our baptism do not end when we die but continue through all eternity. We will never cease being members of the Church. On all Saints Day, we celebrate our ancestors who have achieved the ultimate reward and now form what we call “The Church Triumphant”. They now share eternal life with Christ. They also intercede for us and give us their friendship and intercession. On All Souls Day, we remember our beloved deceased and are joined to them through prayer. Death does not break the bonds of love that unite us in life. Our prayers carry them into the glory of God. Both of these celebrations remind us that the Basilica did not just magically appear, it was built by the love and sacrifices of those who have gone before us. We celebrate them and thank them for all they have handed on to us.

MASS INTENTIONS FROM THE RECTOR
En EspañolQuiero comenzar esta semana felicitando al Padre Pierre y nuestra comunidad haitiana en su primer aniversario de liturgia que es cada sábado por la noche a las 7 p.m. Durante este pasa-do año, el Padre Pierre ha trabajado muchísimo en su ministe-rio hacia nuestra comunidad haitiana y ha sido un gran placer ver crecer a nuestra comunidad haitiana y ver los miembros ser más activos en nuestra comunidad parroquial. Nosotros ten-emos y seguiremos siendo enriquecidos con la belleza de la cultura haitiana y su profunda devoción a nuestra fe. Uno de los aspectos más bellos de nuestra comunidad parroquial es su di-versidad y cómo la gente de tantas culturas diferentes se sient-en queridos y bienvenidos. ¡Somos el Cuerpo de Cristo, mien-tras que cada uno es único, todavía formamos un solo cuerpo!
Además, este martes es el día de Todos los Santos y el día siguiente se celebra el Día de Todos los Santos. Cada año espe-ro con interés estos dos días de fiesta, ya que celebran nuestra creencia en la Comunión de los Santos. La Iglesia no se limita a vivir aquí en la tierra, pero permanece por la eternidad, los efectos de nuestro bautismo no terminan cuando morimos sino que continúan por toda la eternidad. Nunca vamos a de-jar de ser miembros de la Iglesia. El día de Todos los Santos que celebramos nuestros antepasados que han alcanzado la máxima recompensa y ahora forman lo que llamamos “La Igle-sia Triunfante”, que ahora comparten la vida eterna con Cristo. También interceden por nosotros y nos dan su amistad y la in-tercesión. El día de los difuntos, recordamos a nuestro queri-do difunto y unidos a ellos a través de la oración, la muerte no rompe los lazos de amor que nos unen en la vida. El día de los difuntos elevamos nuestro querido fallecido a través de nues-tro amor y oraciones, nuestras oraciones a llevar a la gloria de Dios. Ambas celebraciones nos recuerdan que la Iglesia de la Misión no apareció por arte de magia, que fue construido por el amor y sacrificios de aquellos que nos han precedido. Los cele-bramos y agradecemos todo lo que han transmitido a nosotros.
Second Collection Next WeekendNext week’s second collection is for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), which works to uphold the dignity of human life by breaking the cycle of poverty across the United States through grants to local community-based groups who create jobs, improve education, and strengthen neighborhoods. Twenty-five percent of the CCHD collection stays in the Archdi-ocese of Boston to fund local anti-poverty projects; seventy-five percent supports national grant and education programs.

NEWS & EVENTS
News from Mission Grammar SchoolWe are well into celebrating a month of Kindness and family! Mission Grammar hosted a beautiful Family liturgy with 20 families participating, scholars singing and sharing the word of God. The Mass concluded with our entire school community standing in a circle, representing our love and care for one another.
Mission Grammar and Harvard Medical School teamed up to launch a tutoring program for our 5th and 6th graders preparing them for the Independent School Exam and high school admissions process. We love working with Harvard students and we are so impressed with the early results we are seeing with children being encouraged, motivated and accountable around test prep!
