Celebrating 50 Years  

                                                        on Brattle Street

     in Faith Hope, and Love

September 2011

Dear parishioners,

This is a very special year in the life of our parish.

2011-2012 is a year to celebrate the dreams and hard work of all those talented and dedicated parishioners who labored for their church for 50 years or more.

Our beautiful church complex started as a dream in l954, when the church was located on Shawmut Avenue in Boston, . . . and became a reality on September 17, 1961, when our church on Brattle Street was consecrated.

Fifty years ago, our fathers and mothers, grandparents and great-grandparents dreamed a great dream for their children.  It was their hope to create a House of Worship that would stand as a firm foundation to their lives.  It was their hope that upon this foundation, families would baptize their children and worship according to the traditions of our church, and that couples would embrace the sacrament of marriage.  They built their House of Worship on Brattle Street as a labor of Love.

Their labor of Love was founded on Faith, based on Hope, and offered to all future generations to make part of our lives.  The dream of the founders of our church on Brattle Street was created to be passed down through the ages and given to each successive generation to add to and further enhance.

Stewards and members enable the church to grow and do the work of Our Lord in this world.  I ask that you take a few moments to thoughtfully complete and return the 2012 Stewardship Pledge Card as soon as possible.  I thank our current stewards and members for their continued support.  I further invite those who are not currently part of the Stewardship Program to add your pledge and affirmation to our God-given ministry.  Through our stewardship, may God bless our offering through Faith, Hope, and Love.
