From the Pastor’s Desk
I hope everyone is planning on coming to our Parish Picnic next weekend – on the
parish grounds – from 12:30 – 3:00 p.m. – rain or shine.
As we move into a more relaxed mode, I want to remind all that we continue to
gather each weekend for praise and worship. Summer schedule of Masses is: Saturday at
4:00 p.m. and Sunday at 9:00 and 11:30 a.m..
Also, I am asking all to please be faithful to your financial support of the parish over the summer
months. It is during the more quiet days of summer that we do our major work on our buildings and grounds.
The bills keep coming in, and we deeply appreciate your continued support. Perhaps signing up for “On-Line
Giving” would be a possibility for you! Mary Ann, in the parish office, would be glad to help you and answer
any questions.

Men’s Spirituality Group Meeting
Wednesday, June 15, 7 - 8:30 p.m., Parish Center
This men’s spirituality group is for any adult man
who wishes the abundance of life that Christ wants
for us (John 10:10). The men participate honestly
and support each other through prayer and presence.
Each man must bravely do the hard work of self-
reflection and come willing to fully participate in the
meetings. During the meetings, we will reflect on
where we have been and where we are in our
spiritual journey. Our questions for this meeting are:
How is God acting in my life? and What do I need to
risk in order to grow? Please join us in an
atmosphere of trust, fellowship and sharing. No
experience with a group is necessary. Email Bede
Bidlack, for more information:

Harvard Square Churches Meals Program We Need Your Help Thursday Evenings
For the past 4 years St. Peter Parish has been helping
to provide volunteers to Harvard Square Churches
Meals Program each Thursday during the summer.
The program serves a nutritious, sit-down dinner
every Thursday night to over 100 people at Christ
Church, 0 Garden Street (to the right of the Old
Burial Ground in Harvard Square). They rely on
college students for volunteers. Our parish has been
able to help during school breaks and summers. Over
40 St. Peter’s parishioners have volunteered. If you
are interested in helping out we are hoping to send 4-
5 volunteers a week from Thursday May 12th through
Thursday September 15th. Volunteers would need to
arrive between 4:30-4:45 pm. Doors open for guests
at 5:00 p.m. and dinner is served at 5:30 p.m. Clean
up concludes at 7:30 p.m. If you have any questions
or would like to sign up, please contact Anna
Molettieri at 617-547-4235 x17 or
[email protected] It is important
that you sign up in advance if you are interested.

We Need You to Bring the Eucharist to
Our Neighbors Who Cannot Be With Us
Our parish has a growing ministry to bring
communion to people who are in nursing homes,
assisted living facilities, hospitals, as well as to
people who are homebound. Please consider
volunteering! This is a wonderful way to share our
Eucharistic banquet with those who are nearby but
unable to be with us. You can fit this ministry to
your own schedule, in as little as an hour or two a
week, on weekdays or weekends. No prior
experience is needed. Deacon Tim O’Donnell and
his wife Elke will provide training and help with the
logistics. If you are interested in exploring this,
please call or email Deacon Tim at 617-897-1148 or
Memorial Day Prayer
On this Memorial Day, we pray for those who
courageously laid down their lives for the cause of
freedom. May the example of their sacrifice inspire in
us the selfless love of your Son, our Lord Jesus
Christ. Bless the families of our fallen troops, and fill
their homes and their lives with your strength and
peace. In union with people of goodwill of every
nation, embolden us to answer the call to work for
peace and justice, and thus, seek an end to violence
and conflict around the globe. We pray through
Christ our Lord. Amen
