I was recently asked by Heather Hannaway our Director of Faith Formation and Courtney Callanan our Assistant Director of Faith Formation to do a video of Spiritual Self Care.  Check Out my recommended reading list on the right.  I will update the list periodically, what I'm reading.
Check out the Video below. 

THE REMAINS OF ‘SOON-TO-BE’ BLESSED CARLO ACUTIS FOUND TO BE INCORRUPT ?
Photos of the seemingly ‘incorrupt’ body of soon-to-be BLESSED CARLO ACUTIS, the famed teenage ‘computer / internet genius’ who led a very saintly life (1991 - 2006) has been released by the Diocese of Assisi, Italy

In honor of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, I will be blessing the animals this Sunday, October 4 at 1:00p.m. on the lawn of St. John's Church.  Come and get a blessed medal for your pet.

No animal is too big or small.  If you have an Elephant, bring it.  If you have a Cricket bring it. If you bring it, I'll bless it.  Except Spiders. :) You can keep those little buggers in your car with the windows closed.  HAHAHA

A few weeks ago, I began leading a group of around 100 people in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola.  It is a 35 week retreat with daily prayer, Scripture reading and meditations. 
Fr. Brian asked me when I was assigned by Cardinal Sean to the Chelmsford Catholic Collaboriative if I would lead this power retreat. With the pandemic, I thought it would be difficult to do this on Zoom, however, with a few small issues doing this online, I have found it to be a powerful toom to reach out to parishioners with a powerful retreat.

I enjoy listening to everyone who are making the exercises on how much the mediations and their prayer time are touching their heart. 

Please pray for all those who are making this wonderful retreat. It will be a tremendous blessing to them and to the collaborative.
