Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Eulalia Parish,
Happy Fathers’ Day

So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect (Mt5:43-48). Jesus expresses His strong desire for us through the gospel reading on Tuesday. Though we can never be perfect like Jesus and Mary on the face of the earth, with God’s grace, we, as followers of Christ, certainly can be as holy as possible. We are the people of hope because we see beyond the worldly values as Jesus confirms: you are the salt of the earth…you are the light of the world (Mt 5:13-14).

Without any doubt, salt is used for seasoning, and light is for others to see. The time is here! Starting from this weekend of Father’s Day, the archbishop of Boston lifted the pandemic rule which gave us Catholics dispensation from Sunday and Holy Day Masses at our parishes. This 15-month-long rule comes to an end for those who are healthy and vaccinated. There are exceptions which were announced at recent Masses. Being able to come to church without fears has brought great joy to many of our friends since the church was fully opened on the fourth weekend of May. I noticed that many old friends shared their joys, even tears together after being forced apart for over 15 months by Covid-19.

Friends, having experienced many pains and sufferings during the pandemic, we come to know more clearly what is important to us in life. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal (Mt 6:19). From what we have lost during this period of time, we understand that earthly things are not eternal including our own lives. It is for this reason that Jesus reminds us on Friday to set our hearts in heaven by saying store up treasures in heaven…where you treasure is, there also will your heart be (Mt 6:20) .

For fathers celebrating Fathers’ Day, I repeat these words of Jesus: So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect. You have a mind of God to fix on your family; you have a heart of God to love your family; you have the hands of God to build up your family; and your entire being is with your family. May God bless you. I love this six-letter-word FAMILY very much. All the members are within it: Father, And, Mother, I, You are united by Love which is God. God dwells in this house which is called sanctuary -- our church of St. Eulalia which is a FAMILY to us all. Come, taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
                                                                     God bless,

                                                             Fr. John Chen

As you may know, there is immense suffering and loss of life occurring in India and Brazil due to the pandemic. The Catholic Church, through Catholic Relief Services (CRS), is on the ground in those countries working to support local hospitals and programs which are being overwhelmed and which have reached a breaking point. 

Given our own experience in the United States with regards to the pandemic and the important role the Church has in being able to respond to global events, we have an opportunity to assist relief efforts in India and Brazil.  To learn more about CRS efforts in the affected areas please click here
