3 PARISH COLLABORATIVE INFORMATION Dear Friends, Happy Easter! Alleluias ring forth in our Churches this weekend as we celebrate the great Feast of Christ s Resurrection. His death was for us; and so, too, His rising from the tomb was for us. He died as the Sacrificial Offering for our sins. He rose as the Light of our salvation. The Good News we bear witness to is the Easter message. The Father s own Beloved Son has freed us from sin and death! His triumph over the tomb invites us to share in his glory. What great cause for celebration may our Alleluias resound joyfully! We are called to live always as an Easter People, in the love of Christ. What a great gift that we have in one another, as Church. Your participation in the three parishes of our Beverly Collaborative bears witness to the larger community of Christ s abiding presence. Christ is Risen; He is alive and so is His Church! Please share the love of Christ by joining with us for Masses each Sunday and throughout the week. All are invited to participate in our various activities and ministries Bible Studies, Youth Ministry Programs, Young Adult Group, Prayer Communities, Choirs, Social Committees, Christian Service and Outreach, and so much more! Thank you to all who offer so much to our parishes - Saint Margaret, Saint John the Evangelist, and Saint Mary Star of the Sea. Alleluia! May the Joy of Easter be always in your hearts, Fr. Mark Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: At Easter, we celebrate the triumph of Christ over sin and death, which is the fulfillment of God s promise to humanity. During this holy time, I ask you to consider the priests of our Archdiocese who give so much to us. The average priest is in ministry for over 50 years or more, and has offered over 20,000 Masses. Please remember our priests in your prayers during this Holy season. Caring for the health and housing of these priests costs approximately $10 million a year. The Easter collection directly supports this need. I am deeply grateful for your generous support of our senior priests. May God continue to bless you and your loved ones, now and always. Wishing you a happy and holy Easter, Sincerely yours in Christ, Cardinal Sean BOSTON CATHOLIC APPEAL 2015 Thank you to all who have participated in the 2015 Catholic Appeal campaign. Through the generosity of Catholics like you, the Catholic Appeal strengthens the ministries that serve our Archdiocese and helps us to live our faith together. To make a pledge to the Catholic Appeal, please visit or pick up a pledge form at the back of church. 3
