[The woman] said to him, “Sir, you do not even have a bucket and the well is deep; where then can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself with his children and his flocks?” Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
— Jn 4:11-14

2023 Catholic Appeal

One of the most meaningful ways that we witness the presence of Christ and deepen the impact of our Church’s ministries is by supporting the Catholic Appeal. As your pastor, I invite you to prayerfully consider extending your generosity to this year’s appeal. When our parish reaches its goal of $78,669, a portion of the additional funds received will be returned to us for use in our parish. To make a gift online, please visit www.bostoncatholicappeal.org/donate-now. Thank you! Fr. Mario |
The 2023 Catholic Appeal was officially launched here in our parish and across the Archdiocese.

March 19 ~ Fourth Sunday in Lent ~ Laetare Sunday
|
We are more than halfway through our Lenten journey! As the days slowly grow longer, it is good to see that our readings still speak to us about dark and light. Both St. Paul’s letter and St. John’s gospel urge us to avoid deeds done in secret and in darkness. Has the light of faith been growing stronger in you during these Lenten days? Has your prayer, fasting or almsgiving been life-giving and brought Christ’s light into your life? In the remaining days of Lent, make your prayer, fasting, and almsgiving pleasing to the Lord. It’s not too late for these practices to make a difference in your life! |
Easter Flower Memorials
Once again we would like to give you the opportunity to share in the decoration of our Church and Altar this Easter.
Contributions in memory of loved ones will be accepted until March 21st.
Donations can be mailed, brought to the Parish Office or placed in the collection baskets with the names of those who you wish to be listed in the Easter Bulletin.

Prayer to Our Lady Of Guadalupe - Intercessor Of The Unborn
“Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much.
I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have
spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.”
“The greatest destroyer of peace in the world
today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a
direct killing.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Prayer for the Protection of the Unborn
Give us the grace... When the sacredness of life before birth is attacked, to stand up and proclaim that no one ever has the authority to destroy unborn life.
~ John Paul II
Scam Alert Warning
Last June, many people on the contact list of St. Stephen Parish in Framingham received emails claiming to come from the parish, asking the recipient to purchase a Google Play gift card as a present for someone and promising to pay them back.
Any requests will be sent via the bulletin, the web site, or announced at Mass.
Link to the Boston Pilot article on the scams
In addition, Fr. Mario's name is being used in a scam to try and extract gift cards from parishioners. We have had a few calls with parishioners having received a text purportedly from Fr. Mario asking them to purchase $300 gift cards and to scratch of the security number and forward a picture of the gift card and security number.
DO NOT to respond to the text. It is not from Fr. Mario and is an effort to scam them. Fr. Mario would never ask parishioners to forward a picture of a gift card to him. These did not come from Fr. Mario, please do not respond to these requests.
