who are serving in the military, as well
as their families.Dear Brothers & Sisters, I would like to share with you an important message from Cardinal Sean to all of us regarding Sunday Mass obliga- tion. God bless, Fr. Steven ———————————————————————————————————————————————————— Brothers and Sisters, “Without the Lord’s day, we cannot live!” His Holiness, Pope Benedict, in his homily at the Cathedral of Saint Stephen in Vienna on September 9, 2007, quoted the Abitinian Martyrs, who during the persecution of Emperor Diocletian were arrested for celebrating Sunday Mass. The martyrs responded to the magistrate: “Sine dominico non pos- sumus!” – without the Lord’s day, we cannot live! The Pope went on to say: “For these Christians, the Sunday Eucha- rist was not a commandment, but an inner necessity. Without him who sustains our lives, life itself is empty. To do without or to betray this focus would deprive life of its very foundation, would take away its inner dignity and beauty.” Aware that the opportunity to participate in Sunday Mass is increasingly available and increasingly safe for our Catholic people, we are joining dioceses in the Boston Province (Boston, Fall River, Springfield, Man- chester, and Portland) in lifting the dispensation of the Sunday and Holy Day Mass obligation, effective the weekend of June 19 and 20, 2021. We are mindful of the Lord’s statement: “Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Mt 18:20). While we certainly can pray alone, there is both strength and blessedness in communal prayer. We do also note that attendance at Mass is our way of following the Third Commandment of the Decalogue: “Remember the sabbath day – keep it holy. For six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the LORD has blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.” (Ex. 20:8,11) We call to mind the many times we see Jesus observing the sabbath by going to the synagogue and teaching there (Mt 13:54, Mk 1:21-28, Lk 4:16-30, Jn 6:22-59). It is a desire of every Christian to conform his or her life to the life of Jesus, and Jesus went to the synagogue on the sabbath. Most significantly, receiving the Eucharist is the center of every Catholic life. The Lord commands us to take and eat, and to do it in memory of Him. (Mt 26:26-30, Mk 14:22-26, Lk 22:14-20, 1 Cor 11:23-26, CCC 1324). The Eucharist is food for our difficult journey through life, filling us with joy and strengthening us to embrace our suffering. It transforms us from the inside out and creates a unity among us that is a strong witness to the whole world. Therefore, it is with great confidence and trust in the Lord that we reinstate this Sunday Mass obligation. It has been a long, difficult year. People have experienced great pain and suffering throughout this pandemic. Loss of life has been immense. People continue to recover from the long-term effects of the coronavirus. The heroes among us — our nurses, doctors, first responders and all medical professionals — were a source of enor- mous comfort. Priests brought the Sacrament of the Sick to COVID patients. Now we are able to join together, re- membering the lives changed and the sacrifices made. Let us gather together again in joy, as one people united around the Eucharist. In this year of Saint Joseph, who was always a faithful observer of the sabbath, we chose Father’s Day as an appro- priate day to encourage all of our people, and especially our families, to return to the Sunday celebration of the Eu- charist. This obligation does not apply to those who are ill; those who have been recently exposed to COVID or any other communicable illness; those who are confined to their homes or to hospitals or other facilities due to illness, infirmity, frailty, or age; and those who are not yet able to be vaccinated, due to age or any health consideration. Parishioners should consult their local pastor if they have questions about the obligation. To all of those who have not been able to be with us during this last year, we look forward to welcoming you back to the celebration of the Mass. Thank you, and God bless you. Cardinal Seán

St. Vincent de Paul Update
The Immaculate Conception St Vincent de Paul Conference is celebrating 5 years since being rejuvenated
at our Parish! The St. Vincent de Paul Society was originally started in our parish in 1901 and has been
active during different periods over the past 120 years at our parish. On June 1, 2016, our Conference re-
started activities at our parish after a several-decade hiatus. We are proud to be part of such a tremendous
Immaculate Conception tradition!
In the last 5 years that we’ve been performing our mission and ministry in Marlborough, we have assisted
over 1225 people and provided almost $250,000 of assistance with food, rent, clothes, and many other
needs, in addition to providing referrals to State & local agencies, and being a listening ear for those we as-
sist. We are so thankful to the Immaculate Conception Parish community for your generosity with your pray-
ers and your financial support. Your donations go directly to assist those in need in our community.
We are excited to announce that we will be having our Friends of the Poor Walk in person again this year!
Mark your calendars for Saturday September 25th to join us for fellowship and fundraising for our Confer-
ence.
Finally, we are looking for more people to join our ministry. The main focus of the St Vincent de Paul Socie-
ty is growth in holiness for the members. We do this through prayer, fellowship, and seeing the face of Je-
sus in those we assist. If you think you might be called to this ministry, please do not hesitate to reach
out, icmarlborosvdp@gmail.com. Many thanks to the Immaculate Conception community for all of your
support over the years. We are excited that we've been active for 5 years and look forward to many many
more years!

“Festas Juninas en portugués es una celebración que se lleva a cabo cada año en el
mes de junio coincidiendo con el “solsticio de invierno” que es una especie de
“veranillo” que sucede en época de invierno en Brasil. Su historia se remonta a la llegada de los colonizadores
desde Europa que celebraban los primeros días de calor ya que les anunciaba la temporada de verano europeo;
al igual que sucede con la Navidad en el hemisferio Sur se celebran en periodos del año cambiados. Las Fiestas
comienzan el 13 de junio con la fiesta de San Antonio y continúan hasta el 24 con la fiesta de San Juan. El último
festejo se realiza el 29 de junio día de San Pedro”. (Fuente: Brasilenespañol).
VACACIONES ¿CON O SIN DIOS?
Existe el peligro de vivir el tiempo de verano como si Dios no existiese, como si la fe cristiana fuese sólo para los
días ordinarios, para el trabajo, cuando los familiares, conocidos y amigos clavan sus ojos en nosotros y siguen
cada uno de nuestros movimientos. Las vacaciones, piensan algunos, se viven para olvidar deberes pesados, re-
sponsabilidades difíciles, normas oprimentes. Incluso hay quienes olvidan o quieren olvidar esa lista de man-
damientos que Dios nos dio por medio de Moisés y que marcan nuestro camino de fidelidad a Cristo. Buscan
hacer "vacaciones de Dios", o, incluso, mandan a Dios "de vacaciones" para poder disfrutar unos días según lo
que se les antoje en cada momento.
El cristiano, sin embargo, no puede tomarse vacaciones de sus compromisos espirituales. Pensar en el verano
como una especie de tiempo sin ley, donde uno se echa unas cuantas canas al aire y se permite películas, bailes o
bebidas que pueden ser peligrosas, es simplemente no entender el tesoro tan estupendo que llevamos entre
manos. No es justo arriesgarse a perder, en unos días, la amistad con Dios que llamamos "estado de gracia".
La vida cristiana, no lo olvidemos, es el tesoro más grande que Dios nos ha dado. Implica vivir según las bienaven-
turanzas, pensar en los demás, ayudar a los pobres, ser fieles a los compromisos familiares y sociales. El verano
no puede ser un paréntesis, un momento en el que dejemos volar los instintos a donde nos lleven, incluso tal vez a
algún que otro pecado grave. (http://es.catholic.net/)

Com fé superamos os perigos.
Em nossa vida pessoal, familiar e social, passamos por muitas turbulências, dificuldades e dúvidas que perturbam
nossa alma, nosso coração. São situações que nos fazem perder a segurança e a esperança, sem sabermos que
passos dar, que rumo tomar. Diante disso, sociedade competitiva, da oferta e do consumo, da multiplicidade de
doutrinas e crenças, nos oferece uma infinidade de soluções.
Somente Jesus tem o poder de acalmar as tempestades da vida, no âmbito pessoal e social, as tentações,
mesmo as mais sérias, como o desejo de poder, a opressão dos pobres e as obras mais injustas. Por sua misericór-
dia, compreensão e amor, ele pode transformar nossas ações negativas em obras cristãs.
Muitas vezes somos como os discípulos, que falham na fé e na confiança em Jesus. Contaminados pelo
sentimento de “onipotência” do homem, que acha que pode tudo, recorremos às mediações humanas, esquecendo-
nos daquele que venceu o maior inimigo: a morte. Jesus ressalta que a fé é sempre fonte de coragem para enfren-
tar problemas e para superar compromissos arriscados e difíceis.
Não basta dizermos que temos fé. É necessário vivenciá-la através de gestos concretos à luz do Evangelho. A fé
nos motiva a amar, a perdoar e a pedir perdão. Fé é vida. Fé é ter a certeza de que Deus estará sempre conosco
para juntos enfrentarmos as dificuldades e vivermos a alegria no convívio fraterno.
“Senhor, eu creio, mas aumentai a minha fé”. (Mc 9,24)
