We invite you to join us in a Rosary Procession with the statues of San Lorenzo Ruiz and San Pedro Calungsod at 12:30 pm. Please assemble at 12:15 pm at St. Joseph’s Church parking lot. The Procession will end in the church after the two saints’ statues are positioned at the altar and everyone proceeds to their seats. Holy Mass follows at 1 pm.  

Rev. Fr. Bill Minigan, St Joseph’s pastor is our Celebrant. 

Based on the new guideline from Archdiocese of Boston, we will follow this seating: 

All masked people will sit on left side of the altar ( parking lot side)

All unmasked people will sit on the right side of the altar.

Communion 

Anyone who wants to receive the host from the tongue will receive last since the priest has to stop and disinfect hands. 

People who are wearing masks and have received the host in their hands are asked to step to the side, take their mask off, put the host in their mouth, place the mask back on, then proceed back to their seats.

Potluck lunch - please bring and share your favorite fiesta dishes. 

Filipiniana and barong attire is optional. 

San Lorenzo Ruiz at San Pedro Calungsod, ipanalangin niyo po kami.

Cardinal's Letter to the Asian American Pacific Islander Community

May 4 2021

My Dear Friends in Christ,

Events of recent months have brought to wide public awareness what many of you have experienced for far longer, racism and violence against people of Asian descent, which are increasingly occurring throughout the United States. This is disturbing, unacceptable for our society and contrary to the human dignity that is at the heart of Church teaching.

The issue of racism is a systemic problem in our country. It undermines the moral fabric of communities and creates division where those in a particular group are marginalized. In the 2018 USCCB Pastoral Letter, Open Wide Our Hearts, the bishops of the United States recognized that the "roots of racism have extended deeply into the soil of our society."

We need to ensure that the discussion around systemic racism recognizes the violence and discrimination Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have experienced. As I have previously shared, the antidote to the poison of racism is community and solidarity. The reality of racism in our society and the moral imperative of racial equality and justice must be incorporated in our schools, our teaching, and our preaching.

As a Church, we need to welcome a conversation with our brothers and sisters of Asian descent and the struggles they experience. By embracing their pain as real and making clear our rejection of any acts of hate and violence we can better understand the devastating impact racism has on too many people.

We must all recognize our responsibility to speak up when we witness acts of racism and violence against people of Asian descent, whether the acts are subtle or overt. Acts of racism are always sinful and destructive.

In the Commonwealth, Asians represent more than 7% of the population. The Archdiocese of Boston is enriched by parishes with vibrant Vietnamese, Indian, Cambodian, Chinese, Korean and Filipino communities and is blessed to have ordained a number of priests of Asian descent.

As people of faith, committed to living by the principles set forth by Christ, we stand in solidarity with Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. We reject all forms of racial injustice and violence. Through the grace of God, we endeavor to follow the guidance of Pope Francis who has stated, "we are called to live not as one without others, above or against others, but with and for others."

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Sean O'Malley

Archbishop of Boston
