MASS BOOK FOR 2018 MASS ETIQUETTE: LEAVING MASS BEFORE THE FINAL BLESSING The cun'ent Code of Canon Law (No. 1247) says simply, "On Sundays and other Holy Days of Obligation, the faithful are obliged to participate in the Mass. " (Note that it doesn 't say "part" or "certain parts" of the Mass.) Those who leave Mass before the final blessing not only deprive themselves of the celebrant's bless ing, but also disregard the presence of their fellow communicants. Acknowledging the presence of those with whom you have shared in the Celebration Eucharist via a thoughtful greeting, a few kind words or even just a friendly smile can be just the kind of affirma tion that can make their day! But even more importantly leaving Mass. early t~kes away the oppOltunity to thank God properly for the gift of hiS son. Many of us were taught that "the priest is the last to enter church and the first to leave." This is still a valid rule of thumb for all the assembly to follow.
There are a few Masses remaining in the Mass Book for 2018. ~hose interested in reserving a Mass intention or liturgical memo f1als; flowers, altar bread/wine, candles, church lights or bells should contact the parish office 781-899-0469 during business hours 9AM-3PM Monday-Thursday

FLU AND COLD SEASON IS HERE!
PROJECT LINUS
As we head into the flu season we ask everyone to help us keep one-another healthy by taking the following precautions when coming to worship. - When ill stay at home until fully recovered. Prudence dictates the Sunday Mass obligation, to prevent the possible spread of ill ness. - Use verbal greetings/gestured at the "Sign of Peace" during Mass. Appropriate gestures such as a simple bow, nod, wave of the hand etc. are equally respectful while helping to avoid the spread germs and viruses. - Receive the Body of Christ in hand rather than on the tongue. Refrain from taking Communion from the cup when you know/ suspect you are ill. Remember also that you can be contagious before symptoms present themselves. - When coughing or sneezing please follow the recommendations of the CDC by covering your nose/mouth into the fold of your arm. Do not leave your tissues in the pews to avoid subjecting others to germs. - Finally, although the Friars are always happy to greet each one of you after Mass, however, since cold and flu viruses are largely transmitted by hand to hand contact, we kindly ask that you refrain from shaking hands. Let's do our part to keep our Friars and our fellow paJishioners healthy this winter.
We are in need of blankets for the Project Linus Program. If you are interested in knitting or crocheting for Project Linus, please consider this important ministry.

AMORIS LAETITA- POPE FRANCIS Chapter Seven: Preparing Couples for Marriage Christian marriage, as a reflection of the union between Christ and his Church, is fully realized in the lmion between a man and a woman who give themselves to each other in a free, faithful and exclusive love, who belong to each other until death and are open to the transmission of life, and are consecrated by the sacrament, which grants them the grace to become a domestic church and a leaven of new life for society. Some forms of union radically contradict this ideal, while others realize it in at least a partial and analogous way . The Synod Fathers stated that the Church does not disregard the constructive elements in those situations which do not yet or no longer correspond to her teaching on malTiage.
