PRAYER FOR THE FIRST WORLD DAY FOR GRANDPARENTS AND THE ELDERLY
I thank You, Lord,
for the comfort of Your presence:
even in times of loneliness,
You are my hope and my confidence,
You have been my rock and my fortress since my youth!I thank You for having given me a family
and for having blessed me with a long life.
I thank You for moments of joy and difficulty,
for the dreams that have already come true in my life and for those that are still ahead of me.
I thank You for this time of renewed fruitfulness to which You call me.Increase, O Lord, my faith,
make me a channel of your peace,
teach me to embrace those who suffer more than me, to never stop dreaming
and to tell of your wonders to new generations.Protect and guide Pope Francis and the Church,
that the light of the Gospel might reach the ends of the earth. Send Your Spirit, O Lord, to renew the world,
that the storm of the pandemic might be calmed,
the poor consoled and wars ended.Sustain me in weakness
and help me to live life to the full
in each moment that You give me,
in the certainty that you are with me every day, even until the end of the age.Amen.

Important Announcement from ourCo-Pastors
The “Vision Statement” for our collaborative states: “To renew the presence of Christ in our Community by being disciples and stewards of Jesus Christ.”
The core council for our Catholic Community of New Bedford North met on Monday night June 14, 2021 in the Unsworth Center to act on that vision. Msgr. Oliveira, Fr. Raposo and our soon to be new Co-Pastor, Fr, Sudhir Nayak were in attendance. Guided by Laura Carrillo from the Diocesan Strategic and Pastoral Planning Office the council has decided to recommend to the Bishop to unify the three parishes into one new parish.
As part of this process, we will be opening the Parishes of St. Joseph-St. Therese and Our Lady of Fatima effective the weekend of June 26-27, 2021 according to the following schedule:Saturday at 4:00PM at St. Joseph-St. Therese
Sunday at 8:00AM at Our Lady of Fatima
Sunday at 10:30AM & 7:00PM at St. MaryThis schedule will continue through October. A tentative date of October 10, 2021 is scheduled for Bishop DaCunha to join us to inaugurate our new Parish community. At that time a new parish will be formed from all three parishes and worshiping together at St. Mary’s Church. It is our hope that these next few months will offer us the opportunity to accept each other as one family of God as we say farewell to the Parishes of St. Joseph-St. Therese, Our Lady of Fatima and St. Mary.
The Catholic Community of New Bedford North was created for this very purpose – to unite the communities of three individual parishes into one powerful community in the north end of New Bedford to serve the spiritual and material needs of the people of the north end. Admittedly this unification has come a bit sooner than expected, however, several factors have contributed to this decision including financial considerations and only two priests to meet the needs of three parishes. Please continue to pray for our Collaborative as we journey in faith together.
