REDUCING OLOS’ CARBON FOOTPRINT
Join us for Coffee Hour
April 24th, 9:30-10:30 AM
Four Stonehill College students have been donating their time and talent to OLOS
to help us find ways to effectively respond to Pope Francis’ call to care for the Earth
and the poor. Find out what OLOS can do to increase the effectiveness of our
church’s energy use and contribute your ideas as well.
OLOS Catholic Appeal Progress The 2016 Catholic Appeal campaign is well underway at OLOS. So far 66 parishioners have participated, and together, we have raised $13,160 toward our parish goal of $35,278. Thank you to all who already have participated. Your generosity will benefit hundreds of pastoral, charitable, and educational programs at work with the Archdiocese of Boston, and at Our Lady of Sorrows. With $22,118 left to raise, we need the participation of every parishioner. If you have yet to participate in this year’s Catholic Appeal, please pledge online at bostoncatholicappeal.org or complete a pledge form available in the back of the church and return it to the rectory.

Sacraments of Initiation During this joyous season, we will celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation). Children will be welcomed into the OLOS family at baptisms throughout the season. First Eucharist will be celebrated on May 7, 8, 14 and 15, with Confirmation occurring on May 13. All year long our second graders, tenth graders, their teachers and families, along with parishioners, have been preparing for these important more intense moments of grace. Our second and tenth graders have participated in many classes and a Retreat each. Confirmation students have also embarked on Service Trips throughout the year, as well as embraced reflection upon their experiences. May the community's active presence and participation at these celebrations cause all of us to reflect on the gifts of the Spirit and grace in our own lives and in the life of our parish community.

From Senior Deacon Mike:
The fourth Sunday in Easter is commonly referred to as ‘Good Shepherd Sunday’.
Taken from the tenth chapter of John’s Gospel, the author describes the account of Jesus stating that he is ‘The Good Shepherd’
This is a distinct parallel and reference to chapter 34 of the Book of the prophet Ezekiel in which the role of a shepherd is detailed.
Where are the good shepherds in our ministry today?
