St. Leonard is a Jubilee of Mercy Church
We are grateful to our Archbishop Cardinal Sean Patrick
O’Malley, OFMCAP, for making our Parish Church of St.
Leonard a Jubilee Church, a privilege ordinarily granted to
cathedral churches. To the best of my knowledge our
church is the only one in the whole Archiocese of Boston,
besides the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, that has received
this honor. The Holy Door at St. Leonard’s will be opened
this coming Wednesday, September 21st at 7:00 pm when
we will receive a major relic of St. Pio of Pietrelcina brought
to Boston by our Capuchin Brothers of the Shrine of San
Giovanni Rotondo, where the body of St. Pio is permanently exposed for veneration by its devotees who, by the
millions, visit that beautiful shrine every year. The relic will
remain at St. Leonard’s until midnight of the same day.
Please join us and do not miss this unique occasion. If you
cannot make the 7:00 pm Mass, presumably to be celebrated
by Cardinal Sean, come any time until midnight.
Our church will remain a Jubilee Church until the closing
of the Holy Year of Mercy that occurs on November 20th, the
solemnity of our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.
Until then we can obtain a plenary indulgence every time
we enter the Church and fulfill the required conditions that
consist of going to confession (at least once), receiving Holy
Communion, reciting the creed, and praying for the intentions of the Holy Father. We believe that most of us will take
advantage of this rare opportunity.
Saint Padre Pio Relic Tour
“This is the first time any major relic of
Padre Pio has left Italy, and we are so
pleased that they have offered to come to
Boston for this historic visit. We know
that many people throughout our country have a great
devotion to Padre Pio, so the friars have made this possible
especially for those who are not able to travel to San
Giovanni Rotondo in Italy to venerate his relics and pray
for his intercession,” (Cardinal Sean). The relic will be in the
Boston area from September 21-23, which will be the only
stop during this trip. According to a schedule released by
the Archdiocese of Boston, the locations where the public
may view the relic are:
Wednesday, September 21
9am-5pm at Immaculate Conception, Lowell-Veneration will be held throughout the day with Mass at noon.
7pm-midnight at St. Leonard Church, North End of
Boston. Mass will be celebrated at 7pm followed by
veneration until midnight.
Thursday, September 22
9am-5pm at the Archdiocese of Boston Pastoral Center,
Braintree. Veneration will be held throughout the day
with Mass at noon.
7pm-midnight at The Cathedral of the Holy Cross,
Boston. Spanish Mass will be celebrated at 7pm, followed
by veneration until midnight.
Friday, September 23 - The Feast of Saint Padre Pio
9am-midnight at The Cathedral of the Holy Cross,
Boston. Mass will be celebrated at 9am followed by
veneration throughout the day. Cardinal O’Malley will
also celebrate Mass at 7pm followed by veneration
until midnight.
This weekend’s second collections
support the retirement, medical, and financial needs
of priests of the Archdiocese of Boston. These priests
have given their lives to faithfully service Christ, the
Church, and you. Please be generous to this important collection.

September 18 ~25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates Catechetical Sunday.
The theme this year is “Prayer: The Faith Prayed.”
The letter of Timothy fits nicely. He asks, “… that
supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings
be offered for everyone, for kings and for all in
authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil
life.” Very good advice especially these days which
are far from quiet and tranquil. Timothy continues
by reminding us that, “God our savior … wills
everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of
the truth.” Today, pray in thanksgiving for the many
catechists and faith formation leaders and volunteers who help adults and children “come to the
knowledge of the truth.” Pray, also, that your daily
life will be a school of discipleship.
