Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ

Sunday is the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, the Body of Christ. It is a celebration of the joy of the Eucharist. It is
a time to reflect on the meaning of the Eucharist and the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

On a related, but different note, St. Paul reflects on the Body of Christ as Church. From Pauls Letter to the
Romans (12:4-8):

For as in one body we have many parts, and all the parts do not have the same function, so we, though
many, are one body in Christ and individually parts of one another. Since we have gifts that differ
according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them: if prophecy, in proportion to the faith; if ministry,
in ministering; if one is a teacher, in teaching; one exhorts, in exhortation; if one contributes, in
generosity; if one is over others, with diligence; if one does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

St. Paul wrote this letter around the year the 55AD. He recognized the value of the diversity in the followers of
Jesus. Our diversity is even more varied than it was in St. Pauls time. We live farther apart, but because of
technology, we have more connections.

In that regard, Id like to mention our social media presence. We have more than 13,500 people who have liked
St. Anthony Shrine on Facebook. One of the great features of Facebook is that it tells us the general location (by
city) of our followers. Where do you suppose that our followers would be from? Well, if we were a parish, you
would expect most of our followers to be from Boston, and perhaps the immediate neighborhood. But we arent a
parish; were a Shrine church with a growing regional reputation. It turns out that only 18 percent of those who
have liked us (in the Facebook sense of the term) are from Boston proper. Second place is shared by two cities,
each at two percent of the total: Quincy MA and New York City! I know that it isnt unusual for me to meet
people from NYC in church or in the lobby. The sign over our entrance says All Are Welcome. We know that
Yankee fans and even Major League Baseball umpires come to church at the Shrine.

Other places with good presentation on our Facebook page, all at one percent of the total: Lynn, Brockton,
Medford, Braintree, Malden, Somerville, Cambridge, Everett, Peabody, Lowell, Saugus and Philadelphia PA!
The other 66 percent of the people following us on Facebook are all following us from other places and each of
those is one percent or less of the total.

We would love to have you follow the news of the Shrine and of the larger church on our Facebook page. We
have a full-time Web Content and Social Media Director, John Kendall, who keeps all of our electronic platforms,
including our app, up to date. Br. John Maganzini, OFM, a beloved spiritual director here at the Shrine, was
recently featured in an MBTA advertisement promoting our social media presence.

Have a great week!

Br. Anthony (Tony) LoGalbo Marks 50 Years as a Friar
by Stephen Mangione

BOSTON, Mass. Landing roles in theatrical productions at the Olean Community Theatre in Western New York when he was
assigned to St. Bonaventure University, is as close as Anthony LoGalbo, OFM, got to the bright lights of Broadway. As far as
hes concerned, it was close enough.

It was a great way to break the routine, exercise his vocal chords (hes known to break into song at the drop of a line), and touch
the broader community with the Franciscan spirit.

Although lauded for his performances in shows such as 42nd Street, Hello, Dolly, and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way
to the Forum, Anthonys life has been anything but scripted.

Theater wasnt even on the radar while he was growing up in Buffalo, N.Y. In fact, Anthony who is usually called Tony
seemed more likely to become a third-generation LoGalbo to inherit the familys butcher and Italian specialty shop, just as his
father did from his father. Although he worked there on weekends, Tonys parents had other plans for him and his sister.

The family business wasnt an option. They wanted us to pursue our own interests, said Tony, who is celebrating 50 years as a
professed Franciscan friar this year, and since 2015 has been stationed at St. Anthony Shrine in Boston.

He was raised in a family that wasnt particularly pious but attended Mass every Sunday. He went to Catholic grade school at St.
Teresas in south Buffalo and to Bishop Timon High School, which was operated and staffed by Franciscan friars.

By junior year, the Franciscan influence had him contemplating religious life. But two close friends from the neighborhood had as
much to do with his discernment as the friars themselves.

The three of us were inseparable. Wed sit around talking about our faith and religious vocation whenever we were together,
Tony recalled, noting that one became a diocesan priest in Johnstown, Pa., and the other a member of the Franciscan Friars Third
Order Regular in Loretto, Pa.

We inspired and encouraged each other, he said. We all made it, but we just took different routes to get here.

Formation and Ministries

Tony entered the two-year, pre-novitiate program for Franciscan lay brother candidates in Croghan, N.Y., in 1964. Two years
later, he was received into the Franciscan Order at St. Raphaels Novitiate in Lafayette, N.J., where he received his habit. He made
his first profession there in 1967.

Tony lived at St. Francis College in Rye Beach, N.H., while attending Merrimack College in Andover, Mass., graduating in 1971
with a bachelors degree in English the same year he made his solemn profession at his hometown Buffalo parish.

He moved to the Franciscan parish of St. Elizabeth of Hungary in Denver, Colo., where he taught religious education while also
attending the University of Denver, graduating in 1972 with a masters degree in library science.

Assigned to Holy Name College in Washington, D.C., from 1972 to 1983, Tony served as librarian and later as a member of the
formation team for the simply professed friars. During this time, he also attended Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., where he
obtained a masters degree in Christian spirituality.

Tony then volunteered for the Provinces mission in Brazil, serving in the towns of Porangatu and Pires do Rio. In addition to
parish work, he used his experience to conduct retreats for young Brazilian men in formation.

After three years in Brazil, Tony returned to the States in 1986 to be closer to his ailing mother and was assigned to St. Anthony
Shrine, where he helped to establish a satellite office of the HNP Franciscan Missionary Union to raise funds to support mission
projects and the work of friars.

In 1988, Tony began a 19-year ministry at St. Bonaventure University where he was appointed librarian of the Franciscan Institute
an education, publishing and research center of the Franciscan Order that also houses the most extraordinary collection of
Franciscan materials in North America, ranging from medieval manuscripts, scholarly works and foreign language collections.
Tony, who helped to establish a Franciscan library at the cooperative Franciscan theology school in Nairobi, Kenya, by sending
duplicate books and written treasures to his counterparts in Africa, also taught Institute-sponsored courses in Franciscan medieval
studies and spirituality at St. Bonaventure.

HIV/AIDS Task Force

After the passing of the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act named in tribute to the Indiana teenager
who contracted the disease through a tainted hemophilia treatment Tony saw an opportunity to provide care, treatment and
education to HIV-stricken individuals in Cattaraugus County, N.Y. In conjunction with the local health care and social services
community, he helped establish an HIV task force that would enable the county to secure funds for this purpose.

The Ryan White law made funding available to counties across the state, which was especially significant to economically
depressed, rural areas like Cattaraugus which couldnt address the HIV/AIDS epidemic because urban areas got the financial
attention, Tony explained.

During his time at St. Bonaventure, he took a sabbatical, studying at the Franciscan International Study Centre in Canterbury,
England.

In 2007, Tony was assigned to St. Francis of Assisi Parish in New York City to serve as director of the Center for Franciscan
Spirituality and Spiritual Direction. Along with three other friars and a nun, he provided spirituality workshops for religious orders
and also taught a course in spirituality for adult laity.

Spiritual formation for laity has been a primary focus of my ministry, Tony said. Its a challenge to incorporate Gospel values
into our own lives how do we deal with secularism and materialism, war and peace, and poverty and other issues?

He believes one of the most unique aspects of Holy Name Province is that it truly embraces the laity as partners in ministry. The
Franciscans have recognized this untapped resource, identifying laypeople whose talents and input help in our ministry as friars.

Franciscan Legacy
In 2011, he went to Holy Name College in Silver Spring, Md., for a repeat assignment, serving in several positions (assistant
director, guardian and director of post-novitiate formation) over a more than four-year period.

Working with candidates in formation has kept my vocation in the forefront because it guarantees the continuity of the Franciscan
legacy to the next generation. Having mentors was important to my formation because I learned from their experience and saw
their happiness in being friars, said the golden jubilarian.

Tony remembers friars who were his inspiration, among them the late Giles Bello, OFM, guardian of the pre-novitiate house and
director of the brothers formation program, and Maurice Swartout, OFM, assistant director of the formation program, who helped
in his formation. He also mentions Russell Becker, OFM, who is celebrating 50 years of profession and was a classmate at Bishop
Timon High School.

In his current ministry at the church on Arch Street, Tony works with a mens spirituality group, teaches adult formation religious
education classes, staffs the front desk and serves as one of the friarys unofficial mail clerks.

Despite a full schedule, he still finds time to listen to his impressive collection of soundtracks from Broadway musicals, going to
the movies, reading and taking long walks.

For Tony, one of the most unique aspects of being a Franciscan friar is its simplicity. Thats what struck me about the friars when
I was in high school. They were very down to earth, very generous with their time and support, and always ready to help and
provide direction to students, families and one another which seems to describe how Tony has modeled his life as a friar for the
past five decades.

Stephen Mangione is a longtime writer and public relations executive living in Westchester County, N.Y.

 Father James Martin, SJ
Returning to St. Cecilias Church
Monday, June 19th, 2017
Boston, MA
We are delighted to tell you that Father James Martin, SJ will be returning to Saint Cecilias on
Monday June 19th. The evening is titled: A Conversation with James Martin, SJ on LGBT
Catholics. Father Martins presentation will being at 7:30 pm and the church will be open at
6:30pm.

Father Martin will be speaking about his latest book, Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church
and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity.
In this moving and inspiring book, Father Martin offers a powerful, loving, and much-needed voice
in a time marked by anger, prejudice, and divisiveness. Adapted from an address he gave to New
Ways Ministry, a group that ministers to and advocates for LGBT Catholics, Building a
Bridge provides a roadmap for repairing and strengthening the bonds that unite all of us as God's
children. Father Martin uses the image of a two-way bridge as a model for how Church leaders and
LGBT Catholics can move together toward reconciliation and love.

Copies of Building a Bridge will be on sale before and after Father Martin's presentation. Following
his presentation, Father Martin will be available to sign books. This event is free and open to the
public. Please feel free to pass this along to anyone or any organization that you think might be
interested.

This event is co-sponsored by the Saint Cecilia Adult Faith Formation Commission and the Saint
Cecilia Rainbow Ministry. We hope that you will be with us again for another enlightening and
