Catholic Appeal kicks-off
BRAINTREE -- Last weekend the Archdiocese of Boston launched its principle annual fundraiser with the goal of matching last year’s success.
At a March 5 press conference at its Braintree Pastoral Center, the archdiocese officially announced the launch of the 2010 Catholic Appeal, “Called to Love and Share.”
Cathedral Mass remembers those who died in Haiti quake
SOUTH END -- It was a way for Haitian-Americans from across the Archdiocese of Boston to mourn the loss of the many victims of the January earthquake and show a spirit of solidarity with one another.
Over 2,000 people -- mostly members of Boston’s Haitian community -- packed the Cathedral of the Holy Cross March 7 for a memorial Mass offered by Cardinal Seán P. O’Malley for the earthquake’s victims including Archbishop of Port-au-Prince Joseph Serge Miot. During the Mass, a collection was taken up for Haitian relief efforts.
Banner urges motorists to stop for confession this Lent
BRAINTREE -- Motorists may speed by it, but a new banner hanging from the archdiocese’s Pastoral Center encourages Catholics to make a stop at their local parish on Wednesdays this Lent.
The 40-foot wide and six-foot high banner facing busy Interstate 93 in Braintree encourages commuters to participate in the archdiocese’s “The Light Is On For You” initiative this Lent.
