Dear Friends, THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME We are very happy to welcome home the alumni of St. Paul s Choir School this weekend. Founder Theodore Marier s vision continues to inspire our lives at St. Paul s and beyond. Choir School alum have gone on to many prestigious schools and careers, both in the music world and other important venues as well. We thank you for your prayer and support of the choir school, and we encourage you to help guide boys to us who might benefit from the program here. WELCOME TO THE NEWLY APPOINTED ST. PAUL PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL MEMBERS! Along with that, we were so blessed to host the London Oratory Schola Cantorum last week. Not only did they enrich our liturgy and an afternoon concert with our own choir, but the experience of our boys welcoming the Londoners into their homes and school was a blessing to all. We hope that this will be a strong relationship for us in years to come. A final choir note: we were so pleased that our Boy Choristers sang with the Boston Symphony Orchestra this week, under the direction of Charles Dutoit (performing the Angel Chorus in Berlioz Damnation of Faust). It was a wonderful performance and we are happy that our relationship with the BSO is once again a strong one. Philip Kao Angela Jones Last week our Young Couples and New Families Parish Group had a morning retreat. Led by a Dominican preacher who came up from Washington, DC, parents were able to take time for prayer and a lecture while many volunteers took care of babysitting duties. The morning was capped by Mass and lunch for all. This is a great and growing ministry here at St. Paul s. There are two things on the liturgical calendar this week. Wednesday, November 1 is All Saints Day, a holy day of obligation. Masses on that day are at 8:00am, 12:10pm and 7:00pm (there is no vigil Mass). Then, on Thursday, November 2, we remember all our beloved dead on the Feast of All Souls. As we have done in the past, we will have a 7:00pm Mass. The music for the Mass, provided by our Choir of Boys and Men, will all be taken from the Faure Requiem. Last year s Mass was so very moving. I encourage you to come and to bring many others. In our ongoing care for the sacred vessels at our parish, we have to replace the communion chalices used to distribute the Precious Blood at Mass. We will need eight chalices, each with the price of $340.00. If you would like to donate money for a chalice (in memory of someone, if you prefer) we would be most grateful. You could speak with me or with Nancy in the front office. Thanks again to our Parish Council, returning members and those newly appointed. And thanks to those helping us prepare for our Increased Offertory Initiative, and those on the Disciples in Mission Planning Team. They have all done a lot of work. Next week, we welcome seminarians at some of our Masses to share their stories and ask for continued prayers for vocations to the priesthood. I know that you will welcome them warmly. God bless, Fr. Kelly Mercedes Evans (and her husband David) Thank You To Our Current Members: Fr. Bill Kelly, Fr. Mark Murphy, Fr.

SANCTUARY LAMP The Sanctuary Lamp, which burns for eight days and nights at the tabernacle, symbolizes the presence of Christ and marks the boundaries of holy space in the Church. If you are interested in learning how to donate a Sanctuary Lamp, contact Nancy at (617) 491-8400 ext. 303. FOOD PANTRY Thank you to everyone who has donated grocery bags to the food pantry. We are still in need of plastic or paper grocery bags for our customers. In addition, our supply of cereal, one of our most popular choices, is running low. We have a lot of plain Cheerios but can use just about everything else. We also need granola bars or cereal bars (or similar snack items), peanut butter, jam/preserves in every flavor except grape, 100% juice, powdered drink mix (lemonade, etc.), crackers, dry black beans, pancake mix and meat soups. People often look for healthier options, reading labels as they make their selections, so please keep that in mind if you purchase items for the pantry. We are grateful for your ongoing generosity. Please pray for Marjorie Parsons, whose funeral Mass was recently celebrated at St. Paul s. The funeral Mass for John Sleeper will be celebrated on Saturday, November 4 at 12 Noon. May they rest in peace. PARISH SUPPORT AND FINANCES Our offertory this weekend, October 28/29 has one collection, our regular parish offertory.
