My Dear Family in Christ,
Merry Christmas to all of you,
to your family and all your loved ones!
What a glorious gift from God
to send His Son to give us healing, hope
and to teach us divine love! This year as we celebrate the Jubilee of
Mercy, we are asked to reflect on how God
manifests that Divine Mercy in different
ways and times; we are recipients but also
givers of mercy.
Christmas is a perfect time to show and
give mercy to those around us. Shock
them with compassion; startle them with
joy! That is what Jesus did over and over
again.
Thanks for being part of Holy Family!
Thank you for making me part of your
family!
With love, Fr. José

Meet Fr. Vin −The Gift of Family
As the pastor of three parishes in Dorchester and Mattapan, Fr. Vin’s responsibilities are extraordinary. While his daily work is a source of great joy, it’s the love and devotion of a special sister named Connie that restores his spirit.
When Fr. Vin’s parents passed away, he and his sister Eileen became the sole guardians of their disabled sister. For Fr. Vin, being a brother and a priest for Connie is an immense blessing. The unconditional love that he receives from Connie—especially at the end of a busy day— continues to fill his heart with gratitude.
Fr. Vin selflessly dedicates his life in service to others. This Christmas, show your gratitude with a gift that cares for Fr. Vin and the health and well-being of all the priests who faithfully serve our Archdiocese of Boston.
Text the word PRIEST to 56512 or make a gift through your parish collection at Christmas Mass.
Thank you for your generous support of the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust.
“A priest, whoever he may be, is always another Christ.”
-Saint Josemaría Escrivá
To submit your special intentions to be remembered by our senior priests during the celebration of Holy Mass at Regina Cleri each week, please visit clergyfunds.org/intentions.
