  • Solemnity of Christ the King November 21–22, 2020

    A Note from Our Pastor,

    As we approach our country’s National Day of Thanksgiving next Thursday, there are numerous ways to indicate our gratitude by showing generosity. This year instead of

    donating non-perishable food items for St. Matthew’s Food Pantry, we are asking parishioners to donate su-permarket gift cards in $10 denominations. Another way to indicate gratitude and generosity is to contribute to the second collection this weekend to assist the healthcare and retirement needs of religious sisters here in the Archdiocese of Boston. Here at St. Agatha Parish and School we have been blessed to have the ministry of the Sisters of St. Joseph, the Sisters of Charity of Halifax, the Sisters of Notre Dame, and the School Sis-ters of Notre Dame.

    Just a reminder that this Sunday November 22nd at 4pm is the annual Milton Interfaith Clergy Association (MICA) Thanks For Giving service. This year our par-ish honorees are Ann Louise Sullivan, Deacon Dan Sul-livan, and Noel Schaub for the manifold ways they have served and continue to serve St. Agatha Parish. To be able to be present for this event which is in virtual for-mat this year, the following is the link to register for this event: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1c-ZPRKtQ2uRFuk12XNSCQ. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. This link can also be found on our parish website.

    Please join us either in person or via livestream for our Thanksgiving Masses: at 7pm on Wednesday November 25th, and at 9am on Thursday Thanksgiving Day. Due to the Vigil Mass on Wednesday evening, Reconciliation will be available on Tuesday from 6:30pm to 8pm for this week only.

    Next weekend begins the Season of Advent, and we are adding an additional Sunday Mass and adjusting the Sunday morning schedule accordingly. The 4:30pm Mass on Saturday and the 5pm Mass on Sunday will remain unchanged. On Sunday morning, however, be-ginning next weekend November 28 and 29, the sched-ule will be 7:30am, 9:30am, and 11:30am. The 9:30am Mass will be a Family Mass with a homily geared to-ward the younger members of our parish. Just a remind-er about Mass protocols: all people entering the church who are older than five years old must be wearing a mask, and must continue wearing the mask until they leave, unless they have a specific speaking/singing role at the Mass; children under the age of two should not

    wear a mask; children from ages two to five should wear a mask only at the discretion of their parents.

    Many thanks to the more than 400 parishioners who took the time to respond to our Christmas Mass survey. Your responses are enormously helpful in planning the times and the number of Masses here at St. Agatha’s on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day this year. More in-formation will follow when we decide, based largely on your responses, on our Christmas Mass schedule.

    I hope that you and your loved ones have a safe, enjoya-ble, and blessed Thanksgiving Holiday and weekend this year!

    Fr. Palardy

    This week’s Second Collection for the Retired Religious Sisters Today’s second collection is used to assist religious com-munities to provide for the retirement and health care needs of Sisters who have served in the Archdiocese. Please take this opportunity to say thank you to the Sisters who have served the Church of Boston so generously for so many years. Your contribution does make a difference. For more information, please contact the Delegate for Reli-gious at 617-746-5637.

  • THE WEEKLY UPDATE

    THEME: Jesus’ kingdom is a kingdom of actions and deeds, not merely of words.

    As you hear this powerful, disturbing reading today, what words in it jump off the page for you? What image or idea lingers in your mind now?

    Gospel : Matthew 25:31-46 Jesus said to his disciples: “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’ And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.’ Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’ Then they will answer and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?’ He will answer them, '’Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.’ And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

    Nearly every aspect of our lives has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that has now been with us for over 8 months. Unfortunately, our annual Giving Tree Project to benefit the families served by My Brother’s Keeper is no exception. In this, our 30th year of running this tremen-dously successful effort, to keep the tradition alive and strong, we have made changes to how the process will op-erate. While the need to safeguard everyone’s safety is of paramount concern, we are also very mindful of the many people who have been financially impacted by this health crisis and need our help. We need your help this year per-haps more than any other. Our theme throughout all of these years has been lending our helping hands to those in need, because we are truly God’s hands on Earth. So this year the “ornaments” will be virtual rather than physical. Beginning this upcoming week you will be invited to go to a link on our parish website where there will be virtual ornaments for boys and girls of all ages as well as adults. The link should be available by the middle of the week, and will be in next week’s Bulletin as well. When you se-lect an ornament you will be given further instructions on the next steps. This year—unlike past years—we will be asking you NOT to wrap the gifts you purchase but to bring them to the garage behind the Rectory where volun-teers will help with contactless drop off. More specifics regarding drop-off dates and times will be available in next week’s Bulletin. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding, and most importantly for your commit-ment to serve other’s in Christ’s name.

    The Grand Annual Collection continues to move along nicely. This past week an additional 43 parishioners re-sponded bringing the total to 315. These households con-tributed $18,476 bringing our total thus far to $135,577 as we make steady progress toward our budgeted goal of $170,000 - and hopefully beyond!

    Please allow extra time when arriving for Mass. The doors will open 20 minutes before Mass begins. Due to capacity constraints, the doors will close 5 minutes before Mass. Thank you for your patience. Public Mass times are: Saturday 4:30pm, Sunday 8:00am, 11:00am & 5:00pm and daily public Mass at 9:00am.

    Weekend Mass Schedule to Change BEGINS NEXT SUNDAY, November 29th

    In order to accommodate the number of parishion-ers attending the Sunday Masses in person, we will be adding an additional Mass on Sunday mornings. Since we will be sanitizing the Church between each Mass, the Mass times will change slightly.

    Starting November 29th, the new Mass schedule will be at 7:30am, 9:30am and 11:30am on Sunday. There will be NO change to the 4:30pm Mass on Saturday or the 5:00pm Mass on Sunday. The 9:30am Family Mass will be livestreamed in place of the existing 11:00 am Mass. Please check the bulletin if you have scheduled a Mass intention for the current Mass times.

    This change is contingent on current COVID-19 protocols staying in place. Please check our website for the most up-to-date instructions. Thank you.

    Adoration at St. Agatha Parish There will be opportunity for Adoration following the 9:00am Mass on Fridays. It will take place from approximately 9:30am-noon. Unless there is a funeral scheduled, then it will conclude at 10:30am.

    Baptism: 2:00pm on the 2nd/ 4th Sundays of each month. If you have already scheduled your child’s Baptism and need to reschedule (or to ask any other questions), please call or email the Rectory. Reconciliation: This upcoming week only, Tuesday evening from 6:30-8:00pm in the Meeting Room adjacent to the Gathering Space in the lower church. Masks required. Also available by appointment with one of our priests. Marriage: Call one of the parish priests or deacon. Arrangements are ordinarily to be made at least 6 months before the proposed marriage.

    Pastoral Planning

    November 22 ~ Solemnity of Christ the King Today’s parable is one of the most vivid parables Jesus spoke. We will not be judged on the knowledge we have accumulated, or the fame that we have acquired, or the fortune we have gained. We will be judged on the way we have listened and been present to others—in the way we have served Christ in the other. The lesson is crystal clear—God will judge us according to our reaction those in need. This means giving simple help to the people we meet every day—to the hungry, the thirsty, the sick, the stranger, the prisoner—to Christ himself!

    Ask, and it will be given to you…We asked and you re-sponded in a big way. About 400 parishioners took the time to let us know their Christmas Mass preferences. This will be a big help in our planning for the upcoming holidays. We expect to have the Mass times decided in early December. Please check our website for the most current information.

    Thank You for Responding to the Christmas Mass Survey!

    Please check out Youth Ministry resources on Email, Instagram (@staggiesmilton) and Facebook (St. Agatha Youth Ministry).

    CONFIRMATION & YOUNG CHURCH MINISTRY

    In addition to the protocols currently in place for in-person Mass attendance, we will continue to collect contact tracing information for all attendees. Please submit your contact information on our website (here) before coming to Mass. If you do not have access to our website, you will be able to give that information to the parish ambassador at the en-trance to the church upon arrival. If we were to discover that someone at any given Mass tests positive for COVID-19 in the following weeks, we want to be able to inform all of you so that, in consultation with your physician, you can take the appropriate steps. Please note that any notice will not in-clude the name of the person who tested positive, which will be kept confidential, but only the Mass (date and time) which they attended and any other relevant non-personal infor-mation. Please give yourself extra time when arriving for Mass to be seated. Thank you.

    GIFT CARD DONATIONS REQUESTED

    St. Matthew’s Food Pantry is asking for Thanksgiving support from our generous parishioners this year to

    help feed the many more hungry folks looking for food. Last year we included the option of donating supermarket gift cards. They were well received by the clients, as they could buy specialty or ethnic food for their Holiday Feast. Any local supermarket, Star, Stop & Shop, Target, or Roche Bros. have gift cards of $10, etc. The cards can be dropped in the church collection baskets or mailed to the Rectory. Your kindness and generosity are well appreciated, espe-cially this time of year. Thank you and stay safe.

    The Book of Prayers is present at every Mass and the intentions included in the Book are prayed for during the Prayers of the Faithful. If you would like to add an inten-tion to our Book of Prayers, email [email protected] and your intention will be written into the book.

    We Remember

    The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many challenges especially to families that have lost loved ones this year. We remember the following parishioners who have gone to their final rest, but may have had private services, postponed services or were buried from an-other parish:

    Gerald Ross Fay E. Fahey John “Jack” MacLeod Elizabeth “Betty” Fidler

    Coat Drive Running Through December 31 St. Agatha School students, Chloe (Gr. 8) and Michael (Gr. 6) are once again collecting gently used adult and children’s coats for families in need this winter. The Coat Drive runs through December 31st. All collected coats will be dry cleaned by Anton’s Dry Cleaners before be-ing donated to local organizations to distribute. Please consider dropping off your gently used coats in one of the convenient bins located inside the main school build-ing. Last year not only were 200 people helped with a donated coat, but the school was awarded $500 for their efforts. Thank you for supporting this worthy cause.

    St. Agatha Parish has resumed praying the rosary on Monday through Saturday mornings starting at 8:30am (before the 9:00am Mass) in the Upper Church. Bring your rosary and join us.
