Father Aveni spoke to the parish this weekend. Father Aveni's appointment as pastor of Saint Matthew Parish in Billerica will be ending at the regular time of transfers in June of 2023.

Last week we began our annual Grand Annual stewardship campaign. As you know, our yearly campaign is an integral part of the financial structure of our Parish.

The Easter Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil. 

The Lenten Environment Fasting, Almsgiving, and Prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and Catechumens should undertake these practices in a spirit of penance and preparation for Baptism or of renewal of baptism at Easter. The bare trees in the sanctuary represent the dormancy of winter and Lent. We look forward to the Resurrection of Christ and His conquering of death. We will soon see the blooming of the Easter flowers.
