Daily Mass Schedule St. Gerard Majella Monday—Tuesday 9am
St. John the Evangelist Wednesday—Friday 9am
My Mission in Liberia I work in two collaborative parishes, Immaculate Con-ception of Sanniquellie and St Augustine of Karnplay. Both parishes are very remote rural parishes. I have two masses every Sunday; after the first mass at
Immaculate Conception, I drive one hour on a very remote road to get to the other parish for the second mass. This is to respond to our vocation as mis-sionaries which is to take the good news to the most abandoned by giving them hope and a bit of joy. Those missions only survived till today because of the support we are receiving from our various benefactors, families and friends; and you are counted among our benefactors. With your support and donations, we are able to build churches, Catholic clinics and schools. Today, our vision is to make Christ more present in the life of the poor people, to be able to spon-sor kids who cannot afford to go to school and also help them to get three meals a day. Through your prayers and con-tinuous support, we will always find joy and fulfilment in serving the less privileged.
Thank you again for your kind and warm welcome.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Jean

Christian Initiation of Adults Are you an adult who is seeking to know more about the Catholic faith? Are you baptized but did not receive the other initiation Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation? Do you know someone who is interested in becoming Catholic? The RCIA pro-gram (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) at the Canton Catholic Com-

Dear Friends: On Sunday, August 18, I will be running in the Falmouth Road Race to raise funds for the Dana - Farber Cancer Institute, in memory of my late sister Jill. Due to the generosity of family, friends and parishioners, we have raised over $115,000 these past ten years for the Jimmy Fund. If you wish to support me in this run, and donate to the great work of the Dana-Farber, please visit my webpage at http://danafarber.jimmyfund.org/goto/frbryan or you may send a donation to my attention, payable to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, to Sacred Heart Rectory, 386 Hancock St., Quincy, MA 02171. As I run, I also would be honored to pray for any of your loved ones who are living with cancer or have passed on from this disease, or for any of your prayer requests. Thank you so much for your prayerful support!
