During the month of November, we focus our

attention on those who have gone before us

marked with the sign of faith: family, friends,

neighbors, etc. The Catholic Community of Billerica will be commemorating our beloved

dead in a few different ways during this month. First, will be the solemn celebration of All Saints Day on No-

vember 1. Second, throughout the month of November, we will also pray for all our deceased whose names

are written on the Memorial Scrolls which can be found in a basket at the front entrance of all three church-

es, as well as those submitted through the All Souls Envelopes. The Memorial Scrolls will be accessible to an-

yone who would like to include the names of their loved ones in the liturgies throughout the month of No-

vember. Third, we will be having a Liturgy of Remembrance on November 3; 10am at Saint Andrew, 11:00am

at Saint Mary and Wednesday November 6 at 7pm at Saint Theresa, to remember all those whose funerals

we have had in the past year at these parishes.

We are also giving parishioners the opportunity to donate one of the following items used throughout the

year in our liturgies, in memory of their loved ones. If you would like to donate one of these gifts in memory

of a loved one, please can either call us at one of the rectory offices or stop by during office hours.

PRO-LIFE BABY SHOWER

FOR THE UNBORN

In support of the Archdiocese of Boston’s Pro-Life Office and its Pregnancy

Help Office, the Catholic Community of Billerica will be holding a Baby Shower

throughout the month October to assist pregnant women and new mothers in

need. If you haven’t done so already, parishioners are encouraged to take a baby item tag from the baskets

found at the entrances of all three churches; purchase the item and return it to the receptacle

provided in the Church beginning THIS weekend. We ask that you kindly return items unwrapped.

Please note: we can only accept NEW items. If you would like to make a monetary donation, please make all

checks payable to “Fund for the Unborn”. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.

Sponsors Needed for Witness for Life Pilgrimage

We are again preparing to travel to Washington DC with a group of young people to

stand up for the dignity of human life, but especially life at its earliest and most vulnera-

ble stage, as a fetus in development. These last few years we have received donations in

various amounts to offset the costs of this trip. As we strive to grow this program and

make it more affordable and accessible, we need your assistance. Please find a sponsor-

ship form at the entrance of each parish to learn more about the history and costs asso-

ciated with the Witness to Life Pilgrimage. Donations can be placed in a separate enve-

lope in the collection basket, or dropped off at the Religious Education offices at St. The-

resa. If you are interested in taking part in this amazing opportunity or have any questions, please email Dustin Batista

at [email protected] for more information or to sign up.

French Mass

Celebrated at St. Andrew In honor of the Feast of the North American Mar-

tyrs, a special Mass was held at St. Andrew this past

weekend. The Mass was celebrated in French by

Fr. Kenneth Healey, SM and officiated by Bishop

Hennessey. They were joined by Father Aveni,

Deacon Michael, and Deacon Gerry. The St. An-

drew choir participated as well and were joined by

the French choir from Lowell. The day was a beau-

tiful success.

The office for our pasto-

ral associate, Adrienne

Cullen, has moved to St.

Theresa's Office. She

can now be reached at

978-663-8816.
