EASTER TRIDUUM
ST. MARY/ ST. CHARLES
Rather than duplicate services, we will be celebrating a combined Triduum this year. We will alternate between the two
churches. We will continue with the custom of including English
and Spanish in these celebrations. The schedule and location for
each day is:
HOLY THURSDAY – ST. MARY – 7:30 p.m.
GOOD FRIDAY– ST. CHARLES – 3:00 p.m. ENGLISH
GOOD FRIDAY– ST. CHARLES – 7:00 p.m. SPANISH
HOLY SATURDAY – ST. MARY – 7:30 p.m.
This means that there are no services at St. Charles on Holy
Thursday and Holy Saturday and no services at St. Mary’s on
Good Friday. The Easter Sunday schedules will not change with
the exception that there will be no 7:00 p.m. Mass on Easter
Sunday at St. Charles. We are asking and encouraging you to
come together as Roman Catholic brothers and sisters no matter
which of the two parishes you belong to. If there are people at
either parish who need transportation help to the other parish,
please notify the parish offices and we will help arrange transportation to either parish.

LENTEN REGULATIONS
Abstinence – Catholics over 14 years of age are bound to the
obligation of abstinence. Abstinence is to be observed on Ash
Wednesday and on all Fridays of Lent. On days of abstinence,
meat may not be eaten at all.
Fast – Catholics over 18 and up to the beginning of their 60th
year are bound to the obligation of fasting. Ash Wednesday and
Good Friday are the days of fasting. On these days, only one full
meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but
together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between
meals is not permitted, but liquids are allowed.
These Lenten regulations state the minimum requirements. Other recommended practices during this season include participating in daily Mass and fasting on other days.

24 HOUR VIGIL OF PRAYER
St. Mary’s Parish invites you to visit the 24 Hour Prayer Vigil
beginning Friday March 24 with Noon Mass and ending at Noon
Saturday March 25. Pope Francis asked for the Churches to stay
open last year for 24 hours to show the world that God desires to
offer Mercy to all in need. The Year of Mercy came to an end
last November but the Mercy of God is never ending. Adoration
of the Blessed Sacrament and Confessions will be available
throughout the Vigil.
Come all you who are weary and I will give you rest.
BULLETIN COVER
In the Gospels, our Lord pointed to the story of Jonah as the sign
of His own resurrection. From earliest times, Christians have
depicted this story of the prophet to profess their hope of rising
with Christ. In the catechetical program, children have been
learning of Jonah and working on depicting the story in drama
and art. The bulletin cover which shows Jonah being swalled by
the sea serpent was colored by Marcus Berry.
Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma
19 de Marzo 2017
SAINT MARY PARISH
My brothers and sisters in Christ,
Last week, I read about a fire at a youth shelter in Guatemala
City. There were over 750 children living in a place set to
accommodate 500. Tragically, over 20 children died in the fire and
over 40 were injured. Most of the children had been taken from
their homes by the government authorities and placed in the shelter.
May they rest in peace. Reading about that sad event reminded me
of how grateful I am for having visited the orphanage of Nuestros
Pequeños Hermanos last November. That orphanage was a
beautiful safe, holy environment where children are loved and
cared for. This weekend, one of the former residents of NPH will
be visiting St. Mary’s and sharing with you his reflection on
growing up in one of their communities. There will also be
representatives of NPH available for anyone who may wish to
sponsor a child. We are also grateful that St. Mary’s continues to
support Only A Child with the Friday noon Mass collection.
George Leger always comes and gives us a report on the work he is
doing with the young men who come in from the streets of
Guatemala in search of something better. Only a Child is
sponsoring their annual fundraiser on Saturday, April 8 at the
American Legion in Waltham at 7 p.m. You can get tickets at
Onlyachild.org. There will be more info about this in next
weekends bulletin. – Father Michael
HAITI CHURCH RESTORATION FUND BOX
We had to take the box away from the back of the church but we
are still receiving change and donations for rebuilding the Church
in Haiti. In the past 18 months we sent down our largest donation
of $42,000. You can still donate by dropping coins in the collection
basket or bringing it to the sacristy or rectory. When we started this
7 years ago, we knew it would be a long term project. How
beautiful that so many people still remember the needs that were
brought on by that devastating earthquake. And what an inspiration
the Haitian people are – not giving up and plowing ahead.
BIRTHRIGHT CARNATION DRIVE HELP
We are looking for one or two volunteers to coordinate the
Birthright Carnation Project that takes place every Mother’s Day
weekend. Birthright aids and accompanies women going through
crisis and unexpected pregnancies. Carnations are given out after
all the Masses, and donations are accepted in return. We need one
or two parishioners to organize the drop off of the flowers and the
distribution of the flowers at the end of all Masses. Please contact
the rectory if you wish to help.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS – MEETING MARCH 19
On Sunday, March 19 at 3:30 p.m., the Dr. John W. McDevitt Sr.
Council Knights of Columbus will meet in the basement of Saint
Mary’s rectory. Reminder: We ask members to please participate in
the 40 Cans for Lent Drive. Get your family, relatives, friends, and
neighbors to help you collect and leave 40 cans of food at the back
of the Church by the end of Lent. The St. Vincent de Paul Society
will take the cans to the food pantry.

NUEVOS RECLINATORIOS/ DONACIONES
En las próximas semanas, comenzaremos a
reemplazar todos los reclinatorios desde el centro de la Iglesia hasta la parte de atrás. Los reclinatorios en la mitad
delantera de la iglesia fueron instalados y reparados cuando
los cojines fueron instalados en los asientos del banco. La
parroquia pudo hacer esto gracias a una generosa donación
de un benefactor. Quién sabe cuándo se instalaron los reclinatorios en la última sección de la Iglesia. Podría haber sido
hace 100 años. Muchos de ellos han sido eliminados o no
funcionan realmente. Los nuevos reclinatorios se están construyendo e instalando a medida. Pedimos a los feligreses
que contribuyan a pagar por los reclinatorios. Hay 304 nuevosreclinatorios instalados. 144 de ellos tienen 4 pies de
largo. 152 de ellos son de 3 pies de longitud y 8 de ellos son
alrededor de 2 pies de longitud. El costo real de los reclinatorios no se ha determinado porque los costos de mano de
obra y de instalación no han sido finalizados. Le diremos el
costo de los nuevos reclinatorios en el futuro cercano. Estaríamos encantados de tenerlos donantes en memoria de
alguien y aunque puede ser difícil logísticamente, podemos
poner una pequeña placa en un reclinatorio específico si lo
desea. Gracias por considerar esta solicitud para ayudar a
mejorar la experiencia de adoración.
