A Message from Our Pastor, Fr. Jonathan Gaspar
Dear Families,
It is my great pleasure to address you in this week's message. I want to take a moment to share about the importance of St. Patrick’s Day as well as Pastor’s Day, which we will celebrate alongside St. Patrick’s Day as a parish and school community this Monday.
St. Patrick’s Day is more than just a cultural celebration—it is a day to reflect on the faith and perseverance of St. Patrick, who devoted his life to spreading the Gospel. St. Patrick brought the light of faith to Ireland and was a learned scholar and teacher. Here in Boston, this day carries deep significance, especially for the many Irish immigrants who built their homes, families, and communities in this city. Their sacrifices and strong Catholic faith have shaped the history of Boston and the foundations of our parish. We honor their legacy by continuing to live out the faith they held so dear. St. Patrick's day is a solemnity in the Archdiocese of Boston, which means that we are invited to take a break from the fasting and penance of the Lenten season and spend a day feasting and celebrating the memory of St. Patrick.
In that same spirit, we will also be celebrating Pastor's Day on Monday. March can be a long and busy month, and this day is meant as a gift. It is a gift from me to all of our faculty, staff, and students who spend the entire year working so very hard in their work and studies. It is an opportunity to rest and rejuvenate. I hope this day offers you and your loved ones the chance to rest and celebrate with your families!
Please know that you are in my prayers, and I ask for yours as well. May this time be filled with faith, joy, and rest for all of us.
