TWENTY SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME REMEMBER, RESTORE, RENEW WE HAVE SURPASSED OUR GOAL!! CHRISTMAS IN HARVARD SQUARE CD NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDERING! The Restoration Fund at St. Paul has surpassed its overall goal of $500,000. This is a wonderful accomplishment and a sincere thanks is extended to the many who have contributed so generously to make this effort a success. All proceeds from this Fund will support the capital needs of the parish. This summer the interior arch in the sanctuary was fully repaired following exterior repointing of the brickwork and airshafts on the Mt. Auburn Street end of the church that took place in the fall of 2012. Parishioners who have not made their gift to this Fund as of yet are asked to help us exceed our goal by prayerfully considering a gift to the Fund. Brochures detailing the need along with commitment envelopes and pledge payment schedules are available at the Parish Office. Thank you again for your generous support of St. Paul s Parish!! RESTORATION OF THE TABERNACLE TO THE HIGH ALTAR This past June on the Feast of Corpus Christi, St. Paul s Parish, with the approval of our Archbishop Seán Cardinal O Malley, OFM Cap. and with the full support of the Parish Pastoral Council, restored the tabernacle to its original location at the center high altar in the sanctuary of the Church. This location allows for a setting that is truly noble, prominent, conspicuous, worthily decorated, and suitable for prayer, as guided by the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM, 314). As people reorient themselves to the central tabernacle, the side tabernacle door at the St. Joseph s altar will be left open as a sign that the Blessed Sacrament is no longer in its former location, and is now located at the high altar in the center of the church. AN OKTOBERFEST THANK YOU!!! A huge thank you to Chris Cassani and Leslie McCarthy who helped make the Third Annual Oktoberfest a colossal success!
