Prayer Shawl Ministry Do you know a parishioner, friend or loved one who is sick, going through a difficult time,

experiencing a pregnancy, facing surgery, has lost a

loved one or is homebound? Our Prayer Shawl

Ministry knits and crochets beautiful prayer shawls

for those who could benefit from the warmth of

the shawl, along with the comfort of the prayers

that were said with each stitch! Shawls are blessed

and available at your home Parish Offices.

Today we celebrate this great gift that Jesus gave us. He promised that He

would be with us always, and He left us the sacrament of His Body and Blood.

Do I stop and think how great this gift is? Do I consider Who I am receiving in

this sacrament? Do I believe that each time I receive Communion I am given

what I need to be and to become the “body of Christ?” As you leave Mass to-

day, take Jesus with you and bring Him to everyone we meet.

Billerica Catholic Religious Education Registration Has Begun for the 2019-2020 School Year! We are excited this year to add a new program for children entering Kindergarten! If

you are interested in registering your child you may pick up a registration form at the entrances to our churches, at the BCRE Office located in St. Theresa Hall during the

hours of 9:30-4:00 Monday through Thursday, or at reled.billericacatholic.org.

our program for the first time, can find more information on our website or by calling

our BCRE office manager, Carol at 978-667-3733. Please register as soon as possible to

ensure your child’s place in your first choice time/location. As always, we need teachers, teacher aides and

hall monitors. If you would like to be a part of this wonderful vocation, please call the BCRE Office.

Help Us Reach Our Catholic

Appeal Goal!

St. Andrew is at 65% of goal, with about $10,000

to reach goal. St. Theresa is at 81% of goal, with

about $12,000 to reach goal. St. Mary is at 77% of

goal, with about $8,000 to reach goal. WE ARE

CLOSE! LET’S WORK TOGETHER TO REACH OUR

GOAL!

The Catholic Appeal supports many ministries at

work here in the Catholic Community of Billerica.

Some examples include the Pro-Life ministry, Small

Group Discipleship (ReachMore); Respect Life Edu-

cation(members of our parish community traveled

to the Witness to Life in Washington, D.C. ); Faith

Formation of Children; Youth Ministry; Parish Ser-

vices; Bereavement Ministry; and Divine Worship

(the RCIA program).

We are blessed to have the support of parishioners

such as yourself. We show our love and thanks to

God by sharing our gifts. Every gift is important, not

so much for how much it is, but because of what

we become through the act of giving it. The Church

itself is one of God’s great gifts.

Remember-if we reach our goal, a % of the

funds are returned to the parish!
