The gathering was at Camp Greenough in Yarmouth, where over 100 people from the Diocese and beyond came together in prayer, fellowship, and renewal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The retreat was a true moment of stepping away from the noise and distractions of daily life. Attendees surrendered their mobile devices for the weekend to focus on their relationship with God and with one another. I am grateful to the many organizers of the retreat and to the leaders from the Brazilian community, and to those who came all the way from Brazil to help in many different ways, including cooking for everyone participating in the retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was very moving as we gathered outdoors Sunday morning to celebrate an early Mass at 7 a.m. I was joined for the Mass by Father Marcio, who is from Brazil, and Father Noe, from Florida. The retreat also highlighted the numerous ministries serving the Brazilian community. These are ministries that serve their own members, but also others in the community. Their faith, joy, and generosity are a gift to our Diocese, and I thank God for their presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Centennial Celebrations at St. Francis and St. Mary&#8217;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent celebrations have marked 100th anniversaries at two of our parishes: at\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfxparish.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">St. Francis Xavier, Acushnet<\/a>, it was the centennial of the dedication of the parish church, and at <a href=\"https:\/\/stmarysfairhaven.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">St. Mary, Fairhaven<\/a>, it was the 100th anniversary of its establishment. We are grateful for the foundations of faith that have sustained these parish communities for a century. These centennial celebrations are a powerful sign of God\u2019s enduring presence among us.

Carefully restored, these altars, along with their beautiful statues, now grace the sanctuary. Decorative painting, including a star-stenciled blue ceiling and gold accents, new lighting, and the refinishing of the original hardwood floors further enhance the beauty of the space. A new baptismal area, improved sound system, and added accessibility features ensure that all can fully participate in the liturgy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May this renewed parish continue to proclaim the Good News of Jesus and to build a community of faith for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>St. Mary&#8217;s<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Copy-of-Chrism-Mass-2-1024x819.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Copy-of-Chrism-Mass-2-1024x819.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Copy-of-Chrism-Mass-2-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Copy-of-Chrism-Mass-2-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Copy-of-Chrism-Mass-2-1536x1229.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Copy-of-Chrism-Mass-2-225x180.png 225w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Copy-of-Chrism-Mass-2.png 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this month, I joined St. Mary\u2019s Parish in Fairhaven for a Mass to observe its anniversary.&nbsp; I want to thank the members of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary -priests, brothers, and sisters alike- who have served the parish so faithfully since its founding. The parish has been well served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The anniversary celebration was an opportunity for me to learn about the many vibrant ministries in place at the parish that invite parishioners to live their faith in meaningful ways. Through these ministries of service, St. Mary\u2019s continues to make a lasting impact in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These efforts remind us that the true strength of St. Mary\u2019s lies not only in its history and traditions, but in the generosity, prayer, and dedication of its people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This coming Sunday, September 28th, I will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of another St. Mary\u2019s Parish.

We see that presence in the beauty of New England\u2019s popular and magnificent foliage and in the crisp air that signals a new season.
