Holy Trinity Abbey Choir
Adare, Co Limerick, Ireland

Holy Trinity Abbey Choir is coming to St. Agatha Church!
Limerick, Ireland and South Boston have a special bond—singing. That bond
started in the 1980’s when the first troupe of young Irish singers came to South Boston
from their Southill community. The Holy Trinity Abbey Choir has sung throughout
Ireland with world renowned Irish singers Frank Patterson, Finbar Wright, Delores
Keane and Garda, the famous Irish Police Band. Voted “Best Limerick Choir” and “Church Choir of the Year” in 2005 and 2007 at the Limerick Festival of Church Music, their 2007 Palm Sunday Mass performance was televised live on Irish national television.
The Choir will be performing at several Catholic churches in the Boston area during a visit in July, and will perform here………St. Agatha Church, Sunday July 27th, at the 12:00 noon Mass!

IT’S TIME FOR A PICTORIAL CHURCH DIRECTORY
DON’T BE LEFT OUT!

Through the weekend of August 2-3, you will be able to make an appointment after weekend Masses for a free sitting with an Olan Mills photographer at St Agatha Parish.
Sign up tables are located on the parking lot side of the Church (Weather permitting).

The photos will be taken at appointments scheduled from Wednesday, August 20 through Saturday, August 23 or from Wednesday, Sept 10 though Saturday, Sept 13. Each household that has a photo taken will be given a free 8” by 10” Custom Natural Portrait and a free church pictorial directory.
And, of course, you can purchase more if you desire.

We hope all of our parishioners can take advantage of this opportunity to help us know one another better!

May 2007 - Pastoral Planning Report

In January 2006, Cardinal Sean O’Malley identified three areas of pastoral life that he considered particularly challenging for the archdiocese today—Faith Formation, Marriage, and Pastoral Planning. He appointed a committee to study each area and charged each committee with bringing its findings and recommendations to him and to the Presbyteral and Archdiocesan Pastoral Councils. In elaborating on his charge to the Pastoral Planning Committee, the Cardinal asked that the Committee look at what exists in terms of services and programs; review the best practices locally and nationally; and formulate recommendations and priorities to guide the archdiocese into the future.

This report details the initial findings of the Pastoral Planning Committee.
