The Father Daniel J. Gilmartin College Scholarship
Our late pastor, Fr. Daniel J. Gilmartin, left as part of his estate, funds for a college scholarship to be distributed according to the decisions of the Pastor of St. Brendan Parish, who is the trustee of the Fr. Gilmartin scholarship fund. The scholarship is worth $1,000, and it is given for one academic year. Hence, the conditions that I have set for the awarding of the 2021-2022 Father Daniel J. Gilmartin College Scholarship are as follows: 1) the recipient must be in a College or Master’s program (or will be in the Fall); 2) the recipient must be known to the Pastor as one who lives a Catholic life of faith, worship, prayer, and service; 3) the recipient must give evidence of seeking academic excellence, providing evidence of this from the last two marking periods in school; and 4) the recipient must present a letter requesting the scholarship to me by Sunday, August 1st. Whoever receives the Gilmartin Scholarship will not be eligible for the scholarships awarded from the Parish Scholarship Fund. Fr. Mullen

2021 Catholic Appeal
The annual Catholic Appeal continues. To date $11,659 has been pledged, which is 57 % of our assessment of $20,461. Please consider making your gift today by visiting bostoncatholicappeal.org or by scanning the QR code above. You can also get an envelope at the doors of the church and do it the “old fashioned way”. Your gift has an immediate impact on our parish and the work of our Church. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Last year we were successful in going beyond our assessment and received a small check back. This year our assessment is $20,461, which is slightly above last years. Please help us to reach our number this year.

Are Your Children A Bit Unhappy During Mass?
If your children are a bit unhappy during Mass, then they will perhaps enjoy a respite in the back or side entryways where the Mass can still be heard.
Catholic Doctrine Class
Each year Fr. Mullen conducts a Catholic Doctrine Class that is appropriate
for any adult seeking Baptism, Confirmation, or joining the Church as an adult
who has already been baptized in some Christian denomination. It is also
appropriate for anyone who wants to learn more about the Catholic faith. The class
is presented in a seminar style and the text used is the Catechism of the Catholic
Church. We have classes on Thursday nights at 7:00 P.M. These classes will begin
in mid-September. Those interested in attending are invited to contact the parish
office. If you have any questions then please contact Fr. Mullen.
Are You New to St. Brendan’s?
If you are new to St. Brendan’s then Fr. Mullen and Deacon Ghioni would like to meet you. Please introduce yourself to them after Mass. Also, parish registration forms can be found on the table outside the parish offices in the parish hall.
Holy Hour for the Purification of the Church
Please join us on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 P.M. for a HOLY HOUR for the purification of the Church. Sins against chastity and the abuse of power have put the Church into a grave darkness. The best weapon we have against this evil is prayer, especially prayer before the HOLY EUCHARIST and the intercession of our Lady. Please join us as we pray the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet and more. The Church is in dire need of healing, St Michael pray for and protect us.
Pray for Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life!

Mission Statement for the Bellingham Collaborative
The Mission of the Catholic Communities of St. Blaise and St. Brendan is to be a people dedicated to spreading the Good News of God’s saving love to all, as we journey together in faith. As a sacramental people, united in the Eucharist, we seek to develop the full and active
participation of all peoples and strengthen our relationship with Jesus Christ. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we strive to give witness to God’s word and
through the teachings of Jesus Christ actively follow the Gospel message by living the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
