Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ

Greetings of peace.

Tuesday, June 13, is the Feast of St. Anthony and our Day of Giving at St. Anthony Shrine. Please join the
friars and our Shrine community to celebrate our patron, St. Anthony of Padua, at our Masses on Tuesday.
Masses on this Feast Day are at 6am, 7am, 12:05pm, and 5:15pm. Blessed St. Anthony Bread will be
distributed after Mass and all day in our lobby.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 as we approach the end of our fiscal year June 30. We are very pleased to have
a $25,000 match donation from our friends at Arch Street Glass and a few other generous benefactors, which
we will receive if we raise the other $75,000. Please consider a gift in thanksgiving for all of the favors
granted to you by St. Anthony and help us close out this fiscal year on a positive note.

Monday, June 19, is the Juneteenth holiday. We will be on a holiday schedule to honor this annual
commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States after the Civil War. Mass will be at 12:05pm,
with confessions from 11 to 1pm.
Starting Saturday, July 1, the new weekend Mass schedule will be as follows: Saturday: 4pm; Sunday: 7am,
10am, 11:30am, and 4pm. The Arch Street Band will be at every weekend Mass except the 7am.

We continue to be grateful for our partnership with the Boston Police Department. They serve a key role in
helping us to work productively with unhoused people downtown, and in working with us to keep the
neighborhood safe throughout the week. Thank you, BPD!
