Father Aveni encourages us to look forward to coming together as one Parish, looking at what we CAN do, not what we CAN’T do, always trusting that God will provide what we need when we need it. Can we recognize that God is working in Billerica in our Parish life, to achieve more than we could have done ourselves?
Fr. Aveni Weekly Chat (July 29)
In his weekly message, Father Aveni speaks about the difficulties in transitions. He reminds us of the call of Saint Matthew, who went from Tax Collector to Disciple. Father Paul encourages us to move forward without looking back, giving our all to our future as one Parish. Like Saint Matthew we can respond to God’s call to something new, giving it all to Jesus.
