It is the Lenten season and our tradition at St. Richard

Parish is to reach out to those organizations and

institutions that reach out to those in need, on a local,

national and international level.

The Fifth organization we will be reaching out to this

lent will be St. Vincent DePaul, South Boston with

a donation of $500.

Special Easter Collection

Next week’s Easter collection is for our priests,

The Clergy Health and Retirement Trust helps care

for the health and well-being of our 628 priests,

ensuring an appropriate level of care and quality of

life for the men who have dedicated their lives in

service to our Archdiocese of Boston. Our priests

have been there for us. Now, it is our turn to care

for them in their time of need.

Thank you in advance for your prayers and

support to ensure the continuing care for

all our priests.

St. Patrick’s Day

Dinner Celebration

We wish to thank all of our wonderful parishioners who

generously devoted their time and talent into making our

annual St. Patrick’s Day Dinner a great success.

We served 130 people. Also, we were able to donate the two

large trays of food to the River House.

Thank you to the O’Shea Chaplin Dance Academy for a

wonderful performance.

Dear Parishioners,

RCIA is winding down for this year and we are soon to be

celebrating the Easter Vigil on April 4, 2015. The conversion

of our catechumen is not done by the team alone, but by the

whole community. Our catechumen needs the encouragement

of every member of St. Richard parish and so we are once

again asking for your help.

Our catechumen has been an inspiration to all of us on

team for her faith and dedication. Our catechumen, Mindy

Murphy, will be fully initiated by receiving Baptism,

Confirmation and First Eucharist. Mindy has been meeting

weekly with us since the summer of 2014. We also prepared

another adult member of our congregation, Savannah Rose,

for the sacrament of Confirmation which she received on

March 2nd at St. Richard’s. Savannah has been attending our

RCIA sessions since last December and will continue to do so

until the end of the Easter period.

If you would be so kind as to write letters or express a few

thoughts on a card to these dedicated people expressing your

feelings toward them or just encouraging them as they journey

towards full Initiation into the Catholic Church, it would be an

added blessing.

Mindy will be given the cards at our retreat on the

morning of the Vigil. You may give the cards to anyone on the

RCIA team, the Clergy, or put them in the collection baskets,

attn. RCIA Team.

We thank you ahead of time for your thoughtfulness. In

past years these letters have meant so much to the

catechumens and candidates.

We will be having a small reception downstairs for our

new Catholic after the Vigil. Please feel free to join us!!!!!

Thank you again,

Larry Kucy and Victoria Woodley

RCIA Co-directors

Easter Flowers

As we prepare for our Easter Season, we remember family and

friends who have gone before us in faith. All the bonds of

love and affection which draw us together in life do not come

to an end at death. We await the coming of the Lord again. If

you would like to remember your loved ones at Easter, you

may do so by donating to our Easter Flower Fund. PLEASE-

PRINT CLEARY the name(s) of your loved ones, living or

deceased, on the envelope and drop it in the collection basket

during Mass. Easter Flower Envelopes are available at the

back of the church. The names of your family members and

friends will be placed in our bulletin to be prayed for during

the Easter Season.

Though we are many, we are one Church.

In making a gift to the 2015 Catholic Appeal, you will join

hands with tens of thousands whose generosity brings the love

of Christ to so many in our Archdiocese.

Your gift to the Catholic Appeal helps cultivate the seeds of

faith within and beyond your parish community. Together, we

can continue to ensure that all who see Christ’s compassion

and care will witness the presence of the Lord in our midst.

Please pick up a pledge envelope they are located at the back

of the church.

Thank you
