The Pastor’s Pulse
Dear parishioners & friends:
This weekend we celebrate the Solemn Feast of the
Dedication of St. John Lateran Basilica in Rome. I have
visited this Basilica many times over the years. It is the
official church, from which his Holiness, the Pope,
presides. The basilica, dedicated to St. John the Baptist,
was first built in the mid-fourth century by the Roman
Emperor Constantine. It is mater et caput; that is, both
mother and head.
Today, I deliver the final charge for our increased giving
program. Throughout our diocese, St. Mary’s Church is
respected and much loved as mater et caput. Being
members of the oldest existing Roman Catholic Church in
RI, you and I are called to celebrate, protect, and herald
her future. It is quite fitting, then, that today, on this great
feast, we conclude our increased giving campaign.
By God’s grace, St. Mary’s Church will continue the Lord’s
work, throughout the ensuing years. Committed to this
sacred task, those who follow after us will benefit from the
spiritual gifts, which flow from the heart of this old and
noble church: one family, united in one Spirit; living
stones, firmly anchored onto Christ, her foundation. I
thank Ken Morin and Deb McAllister, our first two
presenters, for their challenging words and example. I am
grateful to each and every one of you for your kindness; in
making this increased giving campaign a success in every
way. I thank God daily for the gift of your faith, your
ardent prayers, your many sacrifices, good works and
boundless efforts: the sharing of time, talent and treasure.
With Thanksgiving Day quickly approaching, we recall the
many blessings we have received from almighty God. I
know of your great charity and willingness to serve others.
These are hallmarks of who you are; Disciples of Christ, a
Family of Faith. With prayerful gratitude, I reecho, in your
regard, the inspiring words of St. Paul, which appear in his
Letter to the Philippians. I make his words my own.
I give thanks to my God at every remembrance of you,
praying always with joy in my every prayer
for all of you,
because of your partnership for the gospel
from the first day until now.
I am confident of this, that the one who began
a good work in you will continue to complete it
until the day of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:3-6
Your grateful Pastor,
Father Doug
