“Be Nourished With Hope” A One Day Women’s Retreat with
Genevieve Baudin and Peggy Hassett
The heart of this retreat finds its truest
expression in the simple act of our being
together – free to connect and reconnect
with one another, and with God, in deeper
and life-transforming ways.
Saturday, October 6th
9:30 AM – 5:00 PM
St. Dorothy Church
$15.00 for the entire day
TO REGISTER: Contact Tom Griffin
OR call the Parish Office
(978-658 4665)
WOMEN OF ALL AGES ARE INVITED
The day will include: a light breakfast, prayer
gathering, presentations, quiet reflection
time, faith sharing, a light lunch, the
opportunity for Reconciliation (3:15 PM) and
a Closing Liturgy at the 4:00 PM Mass.
Are you a seeker? Looking to connect with a
Catholic faith community? If you were baptized
into the Christian Community, or never baptized,
and feel called to be welcomed into the Catholic
Church, we have a process for you. It is NOT a
program of study, but a process to be lived out!
We don’t give individuals a bunch of books to read
to memorize facts, dates, key people, etc. We invite
people to come and worship with us on a regular
basis, meet parishioners, and discover the
richness and the formational experience of the
Mass.
The Mass shapes us and evangelizes her people,
as individuals and as faith communities. The
Church exists to evangelize people and nations –
JOIN US at Mass to be informed, formed and
transformed!
If you would like to explore initiation and
discipleship in the Catholic faith, or if you’d like
to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation as an
adult, contact Tom Griffin, Pastoral Associate, for
more information.
What’s YOUR
vocation in life?
We are all called to live
out our lives in a
variety of ways. For
some it is in the service
of the Church as
priest, deacon,
religious brother or sister, etc. Some are
called to a married life, the single life, etc.
To help us ALL discern our calling in life and
to promote the vocations of ALL the people of
God, we will begin Monthly Prayer Services for
Vocations – ALL vocations. Watch the bulletin
or the complete schedule in the coming
weeks.

GIFT CARD COLLECTION
At all Masses on August 18th and 19th, the Charities Committee will be collecting gift cards (to anywhere and everywhere) to help families within our parish in need of assistance. The need for Back to School items for our families is especially great at this time. Monetary donations are also greatly accepted.
If you have gift cards at home that you would like to donate (no shame in re-gifting), we would love to have them!
If you would like to purchase a gift card to donate, we are most in need of gift cards to department stores, malls, pharmacies, grocery stores, etc. Gift cards in any denomination are greatly appreciated.
If you would prefer to make a monetary donation, it can be given to the Charities Committee member collecting gift cards or dropped off at the Parish Office marked “Gift Cards”.
Thank you very much for helping us to help those in need!
Back to School Supplies Once again collecting school sup-
plies for the children in the Merri-
mack Valley. Items most in need:
notebooks, pencils, pens, folders,
scissors, crayons, glue, back-
packs, etc. Please place donation
in the boxes provided at the en-
trance of church. This drive is
sponsored by Catholic Charities
A NOTE FROM THE PASTOR
Fr. Anda is away until August 17, 2018. He is leading a
pilgrimage to Greece. As a result, on August 16th and 17th,
there will be a communion service in lieu of a daily Mass.
Also, there will be no priest available on those dates.
Every year each parish must participate in the Mission Co-
op program. We are assigned a missionary group who
sends a representative to tell you about their work and so-
licit your support. This year we were assigned the
LaSalette order. One of their priests will be speaking at all
the Masses this weekend and will seek your support.
I am pleased to share that the Parish of the Transfiguration
has raised $55,245.00 in gifts and pledges toward our 2018
Catholic Appeal goal of $54,157.00. Thank you to all who
have already gave a gift or made a pledge. If all pledges
are fulfilled, we will meet our assessment. Again, thanks
very much.
I have been telling you for weeks that Fr. Tully and I will
be running a 10-day trip to the Holy Land in October 2019.
It is over a year away. The cost is $3,699.00 per person. I
am happy to say that the brochures have arrived and are
available at the front door of the churches. Some people
may be wondering about safety. Traveling to the Holy
Land is safe. I know many priests who have recently led
pilgrimages to the Holy Land without any issues. When I
went in 1975, I stayed in the Arab section of Jerusalem.
The Arab people were wonderful. I felt very safe. Today
travel to the Holy Land is booming. If it was unsafe to go,
travel there would not be booming. Once you go, the scrip-
tures will seem so alive because you have seen the sites
described or referred to in the scriptures. Think about it.
There are brochures at the front door of both churches.
Well I guess that is it for now. Until next time, take
care.
Fr. Earley
THANK YOU
On behalf of Merrimack Valley Catholic Char-
ities (MVCC), we would like to thank the
Charities Committee for the Parish of the
Transfiguration for their recent donation of toi-
letries. Our Clients were truly grateful to re-
ceive these personal care items.
