From the Pastor Finally some summer type weather! With our school closed for the summer, more of our attention can shift to the maintenance and repair of our buildings and property, which occupies most of the summer months. 4 Pope Tweets @Pontifex Cambridge, MA Please make the effort to join us (or others at a summer vacation location) for the celebration of Mass on the weekends. Certainly, one hour a week is not too much to invest in the maintaining of a strong, vibrant, fulfilling faith life. One thought: If you are traveling it is always best to call the local church and check on Mass times. Old copies of Mass schedules abound on the internet and they are not always current! We still have people showing up occasionally thinking we have a noon Mass. Please know that for the months of July and August the Parish Office hours will be Monday Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Lastly, please remember that we need your financial support through the summer months so that we can maintain all that happens here at the parish. Perhaps you would consider E-giving. It s easy to sign up. Follow the prompts on our web page (saintpetercambridge.org) or call Mary Ann at the office for more information. Thank you.

Perhaps you have been worshiping with us, but have never taken steps to become Catholic or perhaps you have joined us from a different denomination but are now being called to the Catholic Church. The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is the process through which non-baptized individuals or those baptized in another denomination become members of the Catholic Church. This process is also available to someone who may have been baptized Catholic but has not received the sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation. To learn more about the RCIA program please contact Anna Molettieri at 617-547- 4235 x117 or amolettieri@saintpetercambridge.org. Children must be able to play, study and grow in a peaceful environment. Woe to anyone who stifles their joyful impulse to hope!
