Dear Parishioners,<br />

Let us each think about the witness value of our own lives as<br />

Christians we ponder the last line of the first reading this weekend<br />

from Daniel 12:3: “…those who lead the many to justice<br />

shall be like the stars forever.” These are words of promise for<br />

us to hold on to as the readings as the Liturgical Year draws to<br />

a close take on a more apocalyptic tone. We are not to worry<br />

about the end times, but rather prepare for them. Psalm 16 reminds<br />

us “…my heart is glad and my soul rejoices, my body,<br />

too, abides in confidence; because you will not abandon my<br />

soul to the netherworld, nor will you suffer your faithful one to<br />

undergo corruption. You are my inheritance, O Lord!”<br />

When we fix our gaze on the Lord we are empowered by God’s<br />

Grace to desire to move closer, to be more closely in union with<br />

Him. It is a great challenge, sometimes coming at a cost to ourselves<br />

as we may find we need to do a bit of “pruning” to be<br />

fully alive in the Lord. But it is work worth doing as it brings us<br />

happiness and peace, the same things we lose right away when<br />

we choose the path of sin.<br />

In the midst of the ominous tone of the readings this week there<br />

is great hope. Tune in to that message, and let yourself be empowered<br />

by it!<br />

What a wonderful weekend we had last weekend. We celebrated<br />

Veteran’s Day with a ceremony after the 8:00 Mass followed<br />

by a great Breakfast in Fr. Duperry Hall. The day was<br />

put together by the Confirmation Candidates and the Boy Scout<br />

Troop from our parish, who did an excellent job. Also a big<br />

thank you to the committee that worked so hard behind the<br />

scenes including Mark Friedrich, Hoppy Curran, Mike Lopez,<br />

Denise Donlan and Frank Audy. We are grateful too to Denise’s<br />

brother Dennis Donlan who was our guest speaker. And<br />

finally thanks to you Veterans and those who currently serve…<br />

the day was meant honor, pray for, and thank all of you for your<br />

service.<br />

Thank you too for the generous response to the Hurricane<br />

Sandy emergency collection. I am humbled to see your response<br />

in charity to our neighbors who are dealing with so<br />

much difficulty from the storm still.<br />

Finally, although we are still sorting through all the responses<br />

to the Increased Offertory Campaign as this bulletin goes to<br />

press, I can say that the program had a tremendously positive<br />

response from many. I think we will all be happy with the results,<br />

and I thank you for your patient cooperation as we ran the<br />

campaign. I will update you further on the program soon.<br />

When we put our lives under the Lordship of Jesus Christ we<br />

connect ourselves to the very source of Grace in this world. In<br />

that connection we share something of the power and the presence<br />

of God by our very actions with and toward one another.<br />

In my prayer I offer thanksgiving to God for the goodness of<br />

the people of Our Lady of Good Counsel parish who, because<br />

of their goodness, will “shine like the stars forever.”<br />

May God bless you!

Mission Statement<br />

Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish<br />

Lawrence ~ Methuen<br />

Our Lady of Good Counsel is a diverse multi-cultural parish<br />

serving the Catholic community of Methuen and Lawrence.<br />

We are committed to building a community of faith<br />

intent upon God, in unity of mind and heart.<br />

We are a family of believers, joined by our Baptism, and<br />

nurtured by the Eucharist. As children of God, we endeavor<br />

to bring the love of Christ to all we meet. We are<br />

committed to be the Body of Christ, rooted in the tradition<br />

of the Catholic Church. Together we worship and praise<br />

our God. Guided by prayer and the counsel of the<br />

Blessed Mother, we minister to the community through<br />

faith formation, fellowship, and service. With diligence,<br />

compassion, and love we endeavor to help others come<br />

to know and love Jesus. Empowered by grace, constant<br />

in our mission, we strive to be led by the Holy Spirit.<br />

Congratulations to Kathy Callagy from OLGC Parish<br />

Who will be one of the 122 people who will receive the<br />

Cheverus Award.<br />

CARDINAL SEÁN TO PRESENT 122 CHEVERUS<br />

AWARDS ON NOVEMBER 18, 2012<br />

BRAINTREE, MA (November 9, 2012) — Cardinal Seán<br />

P. O’Malley, OFM Cap will present 122 Cheverus Award<br />

Medals to laypersons, deacons and religious during a 3<br />

pm service on Sunday, November 18 at the Cathedral of<br />

The Holy Cross.<br />

First presented in 2008 at the conclusion of the Archdiocese’s<br />

bicentennial, the annual award recognizes Catholics<br />

for their dedicated service to the Church. The medal<br />

is named for the city’s first bishop, Jean-Louis Anne Magdelaine<br />

Lefebvre de Cheverus, who led the diocese from<br />

1808 until his return to France in 1824. Bishop Cheverus<br />

died in 1836 as the archbishop of Bordeaux.<br />

The oval-shaped medal is made of sterling silver and<br />

bears a likeness of Bishop Cheverus based on the Gilbert<br />

Stuart portrait. On the reverse side is Bishop Cheverus’<br />

coat of arms.<br />

The medal recipients are chosen for their service to the<br />

Church and God’s people. Most recipients are nominated<br />

by their pastor, forwarded by their area vicar and approved<br />

by their regional bishop and Cardinal O’Malley.<br />

Some recipients are personally selected by Cardinal<br />

O’Malley.<br />

Each year, one third of the parishes of the archdiocese<br />

are asked to nominate a parishioner, therefore most parishes<br />

will have one honoree every three years. The criteria<br />

given to pastors is that the nominee should be a lay<br />

person who has served the parish well over an extended<br />

period of time and has done so in a quiet, unassuming<br />

and, perhaps, unrecognized fashion.<br />

The Regional Bishops each year are asked to nominate<br />

from their respective regions a religious and a deacon of<br />

similar qualifications to be honored with the Cheverus<br />

medal. The Central Ministries of the Archdiocese also<br />

make nominations from among religious, deacons and lay<br />

persons who serve on Archdiocesan committees or lead<br />

important ministries.<br />

Including this year’s group of 122 recipients, there are<br />

518 individuals and couples that have been named<br />

Cheverus medalists. There were 68 in 2008, 133 in 2009,<br />

98 in 2010 and 97 last year. The medals are typically presented<br />

on the Feast of Christ the King, which ends the<br />

Church’s liturgical year. Because of the consistory in<br />

Rome this year on that date, Cardinal Seán is presenting<br />

the awards a week earlier.<br />

There is no limit to the number of family members and<br />

friends who can join the honoree at the Cathedral. The<br />

presence of the pastor and a delegation of parishioners is<br />

warmly encouraged to help underline the appreciation<br />

and gratitude of the parish towards the honoree.<br />

For more information on the Award and for a list of previous<br />

award recipients, please visit http://<br />
