CORI To facilitate the CORI reform law signed by the Governor of the Commonwealth, the Department of Criminal Information Services recently put a new CORI access system in place. This new system called iCORI requires that individuals provide the last 6 digits of their Social Security Number along with other information required on the CORI request form, The form content is sent to the Archdiocese by the Commonwealth for use in requesting CORI. The Archdiocese is certified to access the background of all clergy, seminarians, school personnel including educators, staff and volunteers, designated parish volunteers, paid parish staff and Pastoral Center staff. The Archdiocese is required to carry out the CORI process within the confines of the regulations put forth by the CORI unit.

God loves a cheerful giver.”

(2 Corinthians 9:7)

Robert Frost said, Two roads diverged in a wood and I...I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Don't we all want our children to make a difference? If you want your son/daughter to make a difference in our world and connect them in a greater capacity within their parish we have wonderful volunteer opportunities to make this happen! Our parishes are in need of your son/daughters time and talent, from participating with their musical instruments (their voice being one of them) sorting children's clothing, stacking non-perishable foods, office help, shoveling, or preparing and or serving a wonderful home cooked meal. Consider over dinner and then call and or email Dawn Alves at St. Thomas parish office, (978-5203001 or [email protected]).

Thank You for your support!

Third Sunday of Advent In today’s Gospel John the Baptist says, “Whoever has two cloaks should share with the person who has none. And whoever has food should do likewise…” Please share your abundance by giving a gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul so that those in need are able to have warmth. 5

Third Sunday of Advent

Adoration at St. John’s chapel: Mondays

Advent means "coming" When the year 1000 was about to dawn, people fled to mountains, expecting the return of Christ. When 2000 came, people feared major computer -and hence societal -- breakdowns. Neither happened. Yet both moments in history remind us of something deeper, the lesson of Advent. Advent means "coming". The Lord wants us to anticipate and prepare for His coming, not as something that we hinge on a particular date or identify with a particular calamity, but as an ordinary aspect of our daily Christian living. On the one hand, we know He is coming; on the other, we don't know when. Yet every moment is an opportunity to make that coming more central to our lives. Lord, may we welcome you daily in your Word, your Sacraments, and in all our brothers and sisters!

St John’s now has one evening of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament every week on Monday from 5 pm to 9 pm. By moving to Monday we will join with the Hispanic community who for many years have had adoration from 7 – 8 pm. During the Monday evenings there will be times of prayer such as the Hispanic prayers including the rosary from 7 to 8 pm. During the other hours people are invited to bring their own prayers. People are needed to take an hour each so that someone is always there when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed. We are seeking volunteers who will commit to praying for one hour, from 5 pm to 6pm, from 6 pm to 7 pm, or from 8 pm to 9 pm. There must be at least 3 people on each hour. We encourage all Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist to consider volunteering to pray to deepen their devotion to the Lord in this sacrament.

FAMILY GIVING As we all plan to buy presents for family and friends and to decorate our homes for Christmas we’d like to highlight some of the ways we can give to those in need in our parish and we can help to decorate our church for the great celebration of Christ’s coming among us this Christmas.

Youth Group

St. John's and St. Thomas have a youth group. The group meets from 7 PM to 9 PM on Tuesdays in the lower church at St. John's. Teens currently in high school or college are invited to share their faith and discover a community of peers through dinner, prayer, and social and spiritual activities. For parents seeking more information, or those willing to be added to a list of adult resources for the group, please email [email protected].

Our Advent Giving Trees have tags with simple gift suggestions. It also has been our tradition that parishioners have made donations in memory of loved ones for flowers for the church. This year we also need to replace some basic decorations. Forms and envelopes for those who are willing to help are available in today’s bulletin as well as at the back of church.

WE REMEMBER WHERE WE ARE

Please join us for coffee in the Lower Church Hall on Sundays. (After the 10 AM Mass ONLY)

Let us all give thought to where we are! We are at the holy sacrifice of the Mass and have come here to pray. Please remember to TURN OFF your cell phones entirely. Please do not use your cell phone for text messages or cell phone games during Mass. Your respect for God and others helps everyone TURN ON to the Lord.

We would like to thank Central Bakery in Peabody for donating all the pastries for our coffee hour every week. Please be sure to visit their bakery at 48 Walnut Street in Peabody.

Thank You! 6

Third Sunday of Advent

An Invitation from Cardinal Seán O’Malley:

“We want you to know that you are part of our family.” Our archbishop, Cardinal Seán, wrote the following words to all Catholics. I am asking you to read it and to share this message with your family and friends, especially those who do not go to Mass and participate in the life of the church. Christmas is a wonderful opportunity for people to come to church. We would love to see all of our family there! Fr. John Some of you have drifted away from the Church and have been waiting for a good time to return. I pray that you will consider this the time to join us on our faith journey toward Heaven. The sacred teachings of the Church offer guidance, direction and meaning in a world where so many cannot find their way. Our faith points us to Jesus, who is “the Way, the Truth and the Life. Some of you have made a choice to stop coming to Church because you have been hurt by the actions of someone in the Church or because of a difficulty with a Church teaching. From my first day as archbishop of Boston and perhaps for the rest of my days, I will always be asking the forgiveness of all those who have been hurt by the actions, or inaction, of people and leaders in the Church. Please do not let those experiences and memories separate you from the love of Christ and of our Catholic family and prevent you from receiving the grace of the sacraments. . . . A reporter [once] asked me what I would say to Catholics who do not attend Mass because they disagree with, or have questions about, Church teaching. I answered that our teaching does not change because people disagree with it; our faith comes from Christ’s own teaching in the Scriptures and through the teaching authority of the Church throughout the ages. We recognize, however, that many struggle to reconcile Church teaching with social norms in American society today; to them, we say that we want to engage in a meaningful conversation with you. We want you to know that you are part of our family. We want to assure you that God loves you and waits for you at Sunday Mass. The best place to begin a conversation is by gathering with the family of believers in the worshiping community. To those who consider themselves unwelcome at Mass because of some irregularity or moral struggle, please know that you are always loved by God and the Catholic community desires your presence with us. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. An inability to fulfill all aspects of Christian worship or to receive Communion should not keep you from Mass. In fact, the habit of being faithful to the Sunday obligation can provide the actual grace, if you cooperate with it, to give you the strength to overcome current obstacles and find paths of reconciliation. We stand ready to help you. PLEASE JOIN US FOR CHRISTMAS MASS! CHRISTMAS EVE: Dec. 24: 4:00 PM: St John’s Church, St John’s School, St Thomas Church 10:00 PM: St John’s Church (for both parishes) CHRISTMAS DAY: Dec. 25: 10:00 AM: St John’s Church, St Thomas Church 11:30 AM: St John’s Church, (Spanish) 7:00 PM: St Thomas Church, (Brazilian)

Third Sunday of Advent

Una invitación del Cardenal Seán O'Malley: "Queremos que sepan que ustedes son parte de nuestra familia." Nuestro arzobispo, el Cardenal Sean, escribió las siguientes palabras a todos los Católicos. Les pido que lo lean y compartan este mensaje con su familia y amigos, especialmente a los que no van a misa y participan en la vida de la iglesia. La Navidad es una oportunidad maravillosa para que la gente venga a la iglesia. Nos encantaría ver a toda nuestra familia allí! Padre John Algunos de ustedes se han alejado de la Iglesia y han estado esperando un buen momento para regresar. Oro para que ustedes consideren este el momento de unirse a nosotros en nuestro camino de fe hacia el cielo. Las enseñanzas sagradas de la Iglesia ofrecen orientación, dirección y significado en un mundo donde muchos no pueden encontrar su camino. Nuestra fe nos señala a Jesús, que es "el Camino, la Verdad y la Vida Algunos de ustedes han tomado la decisión de dejar de venir a la Iglesia, porque han sido heridos por las acciones de alguien en la Iglesia o por una dificultad con una enseñanza de la Iglesia. De mi primer día como arzobispo de Boston, y tal vez por el resto de mis días, voy a estar siempre pidiendo el perdón de todos aquellos que han sido heridos por las acciones o la inacción, de personas y los líderes de la Iglesia. Por favor, no dejes que esas experiencias y recuerdos les separen del amor de Cristo y de nuestra familia católica y le impida recibir la gracia de los sacramentos. . . . Un reportero [una vez] me preguntó qué le diría a los Católicos que no asisten a misa porque están en desacuerdo con, o tiene preguntas acerca, de la enseñanza de la Iglesia. Le respondí que nuestra enseñanza no cambia porque las personas no están de acuerdo con ellas; nuestra fe viene de la propia enseñanza de Cristo en las Escrituras y por el Magisterio de la Iglesia a lo largo de los siglos. Nosotros reconocemos, sin embargo, que muchos luchan para conciliar la enseñanza de la Iglesia con las normas sociales en la sociedad americana de hoy; a ellos les decimos que queremos participar en una conversación significativa con ustedes. Queremos que sepan que son parte de nuestra familia. Queremos asegurarles que Dios los ama y te esperamos en la misa dominical. El mejor lugar para empezar una conversación es reuniéndose con la familia de los creyentes en el culto de la comunidad. Para aquellos que se consideran inoportunos en la Misa por alguna irregularidad o lucha moral, por favor, sepa que siempre son amados por Dios y la comunidad Católica desea su presencia con nosotros. Todos somos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo. La incapacidad de cumplir con todos los aspectos de la adoración Cristiana o para recibir la Comunión no debe impedirle que llegue a la misa. De hecho, el hábito de ser fiel al precepto dominical puede proporcionar la gracia actual, si coopera con ella, para darle la fuerza para superar los obstáculos actuales y encontrar caminos de reconciliación. Estamos dispuestos a ayudarle. Por favor acompáñenos en la ¡MISA DE NAVIDAD!

NOCHEBUENA: 24 de diciembre: 4:00 PM: Iglesia de San Juan Bautista, Escuela de San Juan Bautista, Iglesia Santo Thomas 10:00 PM: Iglesia de San Juan (para ambas parroquias) DÍA DE NAVIDAD: 25 de diciembre: 10:00 AM Iglesia de San Juan, Iglesia de Santo Thomas 11:30 AM: Iglesia de San Juan, (español) 7:00 PM: Iglesia Santo Thomas, (brasileño)

Third Sunday of Advent

Parroquia de San Juan Bautista: BIENVENIDOS A NUESTRA COMUNIDAD HISPANA Y que todos: nos comprometamos, cada día, a ser más FAMILIA en JESÚS, Vivo y Resucitado. Para solicitar los Servicios Pastorales, en la Comunidad, por favor hablar, Con Padre Paúl G. M. McManus: de Viernes a Sábado, en Peabody Tel: 978-826-7522 o por correo electronico a [email protected]

Consejería en español Judy Keith, una psicóloga que habla español, está aquí los martes por la tarde como voluntaria para hablar con cualquier persona o pareja que quiere consejería en español.

Adviento significa “venida” Cuando iba a comenzar el año 1000, las personas huyeron a las montañas, esperando el regreso de Cristo. Cuando llegó el 2000, las personas temían mayores crisis con las computadoras – y por ende mayores crisis sociales, ninguna de ellas sucedió. Pero ambos momentos en la historia nos recuerdan algo más profundo, la lección del Adviento. Adviento significa “venida”. El Señor quiere que esperemos y nos preparemos para Su venida, no como algo ya fijado en un día específico o algo identificado con una calamidad en particular, sino como un aspecto ordinario de nuestra vida diaria cristiana. Por un lado sabemos de Su venida; por el otro lado, no sabemos cuándo. No obstante, cada momento es una oportunidad para hacer de esa venida algo más central en nuestras vidas. ¡Señor, que te acojamos diariamente en tu Palabra, en los Sacramentos, y en todos nuestros hermanos y hermanas!

Puede hablar de la depresión, la ansiedad, la muerte de alguien querido, la comunicación en pareja o de cualquier tema con el cual quiera ayuda.
