Dreams do Come True!

For years we have been only able to pray

together in what we would call our “con-ference room.” This usually meant any table that had enough room for all of us to gather around. When we moved to Our Lady of Hope Center we had to do the very same thing. Only this time we had the extra space, but we didn’t have the items that would make the room con-ducive to prayer. Late last summer we received a call from one of the parishes that would be closing and they offered us anything we could use at the ministry. We were able to upgrade our tables in the store, get a whole bunch of items we could offer at our flea market, and some items that would go very well in a medi-tation room. So we started to haul every-thing we could carry out of the church and back to our shed.

Once the weather got warmer we had some very strong volunteers haul all of the religious items upstairs to the room we selected to be our prayer room. After a while Ken Ricardi jumped in and set it

up as the meditation room. Needless to say every one of us was thrilled at the work he did. It was just perfect!

We had our first prayer session in the room on July 3, 2014. I cannot even begin to tell you the emotions that welled up inside me when we start-ed to pray evening prayer. It was like I was finally home. While I was quietly sitting there the thought came to me that we should name this room the Saint Anne Meditation Room because most of the items came from Saint Anne’s parish in Manchaug MA. “What a great idea,” I remember thinking. How appropriate it is for us, the Urban

Missionaries of Our Lady of Hope to name this room after her mother!

One afternoon I asked Kathy how she liked the meditation room. “Great,” she said, “I have been up there every day for a 10 minute prayer break.” It was just after that that we started to gather in the meditation room for our weekly reciting of evening prayer with Deacon Pat Driscoll and Ken Ricardi. About a week later Kathy and I decided that we would recite morning prayer from the

Divine Office together at 8:00 a.m. One of us does it if the other is not able to make it. So now we have decided to test out the idea of having a set sched-ule for the Divine Office hours. We will be reciting The office of readings and morning prayer from the Divine Office, Monday through Friday at 8:00 a.m. and evening prayer from the Divine Office, Monday through

fri-day at 4:30 p.m. We invite you to join us for prayer in the Saint Anne Meditation Room.

Dreams do come true!

During the weekend of June 13, 14, and 15 2014 we did our annual tele-thon to raise money and to educate you, our donors, about our sustainer drive. As many of you already know we have undertaken this form of fund raising for a number of reasons. First it is less intrusisve to your privacy, second it provides us with a steadier flow of funds so plan-ning is much easier and thirdly it is so simple to do.

We assembled our friends from St. Gabriel’s who come on a monthly basis to do the telephoning. We also had to call upon the Greg King to come in as additional help. They did almost a thousand phone calls. And from their effort we have been receiving interest in how to sign up as a sustainer. We realize that we have a long way to go towards our goal of 500 sustainers. In fact we are giving ourselves one year to accomplish this goal. If you are interested in becoming a sustainer, call us and we will walk you through the process.

What Urban Missionaries

Do

It’s about the food!

As many of you know we know we have had this running love /-hate relationship with the food min-istry. Over the years we have tried a number of different things to raise money to support the food pantry such as doing food collections at differeent churches. To say that it is a difficult problem to deal with is a gross understatement.

Getting the food is difficult and when you get it you will need to check the expiration date. We find almost 20% of donated food is well beyond, and in one case 10 years beyond, the expiration date. This means that we have to throw it away. The remaining 80% is sorted into useful and non-useful items. We often wonder why a donor would think that a food pantry would have a use for “pickled herring ears.” So we take the non-useful items and place them in the store for people to take. The useful items are then inventoried to wait to be bagged.

Burce and Leanne Pease volunteer in the food pantry. They do all of the sorting, bagging, weigh-ing and stockweigh-ing the food pantry bins. They also do the purchasing. That’s right, we are currently spending $200 to $300 dollars every three weeks. We were finally able to find a source for meat. We received a $700 donation to buy a freezer to keep the meat frozen. Needless to say the folks coming in for food loved it. Unfortunately, the source dried up after a few months and we have been scouring the landscape for another donated source. Finally Bruce and Leane made an arrangement with a local supplier to purchase 100 pounds of chicken, bagged and sealed in 1 pound bags for 87 cents per pound. So we decided that since this is a “faith ministry” we would start to purchase the chicken and see what happens.

After a few weeks Kathy told us a story about a mother who had come for food. Kathy gave her three 10 pound bags of groceries and three 1 pound bags of chicken. The lady just looked at Kathy and started to cry. “No one has given me meat before.” she said.

A week later Kathy told us another “food” story. She was working the counter on a Saturday and one of our regular customers told her how glad she was to be able to get some of this “good” bread here at the Little Store. She said, “I can’t afford to pay this much for a loaf of this good bread. But here at the Little Store I can get it. Thank you for being here for us.”

Please don’t forget one simple truth and that is without your donations to us we would not be able to do what we do here. Thank you.

We have taken on the responsibility of mentor-ing two young men from Burma in English. Martha Powers has accepted the responsibility of doing the training. These young men were brought to us by Steve DeVincent, another do-gooder from around Worcester.

All of the Urban Missionaries of Our Lady of Hope will be attending a Day of Recollection at St Mary’s Monastery and Saint Scholastica Priory, in Petersham, on August 4, 2014. The theme of the day is “How does the encyclical Joy of the Gospel direct the future of the Urban Missionaries of Our Lady of Hope?” We will be praying with the community of monks and nuns at Mass and during their regularly scheduled Liturgy of the Hours during the day. We ask you keep them in your prayers.

We have finished the initial build out of our meditation room here at Our Lady of Hope Center. We will be using this room for our weekly praying of the Divine Office, evening prayer, every Thursday evening at 4:30 p.m. We now have a quiet space in which to take refuge for a short time of prayer and silence during the day when we are working. This is the fruition of a 35 year dream! Thank you Jesus!

Well here I sit in our air conditioned office space, did I mention that it is over 90 outside and a cool 73 in here!!! Yup we did it. It cost us over $4,000 to repair the damage vandals did to the outside cooling line. They ripped the cop-per tubing that went 30 feet up the building to the cooling unit on the roof. When the mechan-ic came from the cooling company, he told us that we might need a new unit because when the condenser is opened to the atmosphere it can be rendered useless and would need to be replaced. Well our luck was running in the right direction, because once he got to the roof he found that the unit was ok! But he also found another unit that cools the second floor needed a new condenser. We are all set for now. We have decided to expand Streetlights to 12 pages for all editions. We usually just have the 12 page edition in the February edition because of all the Christmas volunteers and pictures we want you to see. Well now we have a whole bunch of different programs running all the time, we have the ongoing sustainer appeal, and we thought it would be good just to spread things out a bit instead of mashing everything together. We hope you enjoy it. Let us know. Save the date, October 11, 2014. We are having our 35th anniversary celebration starting at 6:00 p.m. More details to follow.

Once again we are being visited by the Young Neighbors in Action groups. This year we are having two groups. The first one is coming from July 14, 2014 to July 18, 2014. The sec-ond will follow the very next week. We look forward to working with these groups of dedi-cated young people every year. They do mar-velous things and always mange to make us laugh and challenge our prespective on the world. This year we will have them wash and paint. A good portion of the November edition of Streetlights will be taken up with them. By the time you read this we will have finished up our fourth Day of Prayerful Work. We are planning for two more days in August. Please

For many a year we have wanted a place where we could erect a grotto in honor of our Blessed Mother, Mary, our Lady of Hope. We talked about it, prayed about it and waited.

Meanwhile, while we were still on Main Street, an Oblate of Mary Immaculate priest came to volun-teer. He was between assignments and had a few weeks with nothing to do so he decided to volun-teer his time with us. During the time we spent together he and I talked a lot about the Oblates because I had attended their junior seminary in Newburgh NY. We knew mutual people and it was a fun catching up on them and where their priestly lives had gone.

I told him that when we first started the Little Free Store (as it was known then) I had put a statue of Our Lady of Hope on top of some high shelving in the store. I wanted her to be present to those in need as well as those we were serving. But the statue was stolen and we had been without one for a good number of years. I could see the wheels turning in his eyes, but he did not tell me what he was thinking.

On the last day of his time with us he came to say good bye and brought us a gift, a beautiful statue of Our Lady of Hope for the store. We were

The Grotto

shocked, surprised and speechless. He told us that he wanted Our Lady to be with us, she was a replacement for the one that was stolen. We said our goodbyes and he left us.

We immediately decided to take a cue from our Vietnamese friends. Wherever they live they have a small altar in their homes and businesses. So we copied their idea and built one in the store. It has been with us over 15 years.

However, I also wanted to build an outdoor grotto for the statue. But building a grotto would be a luxury for us since almost every dime we receive is put into the service of those we serve. We cer-tainly could not spend any money on a grotto. When we moved to 242 Canterbury Street, there were a lot of bricks and cement blocks lying all around the property. When we started cleaning up I had all of these bricks and cement blocks put at one coner of the property. It was a place where I thought someday we might have an outside chapel. There sat all those blocks and bricks for over a year and a half. This year I decided that one of the projects we would have the Young Neighbors In Action take on was building a small grotto, mostly as a symbolic leap in faith that someday an outside chapel would happen. As it would happen the first week’s group never got to this project. So one afternoon Todd and I went out and set up the grotto using the bricks and cement blocks we had available. I thought that if we could only get it painted a light blue it would be ready for an outside statue of Our Lady. Then our second Y.N.I.A. group from St. Rose of Lima did get to it and on their last day with us we enshrined a statue of Our Lady that I received as a gift from Deacon Matt Pagano's wife, Ruth, after Matt passed away. I always knew she would someday be in a grotto at Our Lady of Hope Center and now she is. Every time I cross the parking lot I look at her and say a “Hail Mary.” THE PLACING OF OUR LADY INTO OUR NEWLY BUILT GROTTO BY

We have had a number of individuals and organi-zations volunteering at the Little Store. Two such individuals are Kevyn McMahon and Mahli Charpentier. They decided, with their respective mothers prodding them along, to come to the Little Store once a week to help out. So far they have engaged the coat hanger quandary and it looks like they may win! They have also picked up clothing, organized linen boxes, swept floors. This may seem like busy work, but I assure you that it’s very necessary. The coat hangers have been waiting to be sorted, bundled and placed in the store to be sold for almost two years! So you see, if they didn’t volunteer, this work would not have been done. and that is how we thank all of the volunteers who come to the Little store and do the work necessary to keep it organized and pre-sentable for the people we serve.

GOT THINGS?

Unopened wedding, birthday, anniversary, or Christmas gifts are the type of things we can use in our Little Store on-line. Every dona-tion we receive goes to helping things we do. We want to say thank you to an anonymous donor of three Hummel figurines to our Little Store Online. We were able to sell them in our EBay store for over $100. As you can see the donor made a $100 donation to our min-istry by simply donating only three of her “things”.

To make a donation call 508-831-7455 or email us at [email protected].

GOT “THINGS”?

We really could use

“Things”.

We would like to introduce our new counter

per-son, Chris King. Chris has been involved in the Christmas Giving Program since he was 7 or 8 years old. This past June he graduated from Clark University and decided to take a year to find a graduate school where he can earn his master’s degree in art teaching. It was really a big break for us because we needed to fill Susan's leaving. Chris has made many new friends who come to the Little Store on a regular basis. He is helping us document and streamline the store operation. We

are happy he decided to join the team. The Little Store is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to accept your donations of

household items, bedding, clothing, books, tapes, records, and furniture. Please do not drop off your donations when the store is closed.

We will pick up at your home on Monday or Thursday afternoon, or Friday morning. Please call to schedule your pickup, 508-831-7455.

Say hello to Rosalie Allen

Rosalie has been volunteering in the Just New store for awhile. She makes sure the inventory is priced and displayed in an inviting manner and she also helps out with customer questions.

Again this year we have been running a flea mar-ket in our parking lot. We started on the first Saturday in May and are planning to go until the last Saturday in September. As you can see in our pictures, we are having a great time. Ken Ricardi and I usually meet up at 5:00 a.m. to strt planning the day. We head outside to start setting up tables and arranging the items we plan to sell.

Around 7:30 a.m. the first of the buyers arrive and hover around us while we are opening boxes of items, some of which haven't seen the light of day for over 20 years! Needless to say they get very competitive when a good thing is pulled from the box. On some occasions we need to step in and argue for "peace."

We stay at it until 2:00 p.m. when we start packing up and putting things way until next week. By that time both Ken and I have had it with the negotiating, the insults, and the name calling. But we do like the time of the day when we settle up and determine how much we earned today.

Immigration …

One Person At a Time

Kathy Doyle

So often in the news and so often a charged issue, we prefer to look at immigration through the human lens, as it always has to be about the peo-ple. Today we’re celebrating the achievements of some of the people who have passed through our doors on their journeys to full citizenship for themselves and family members.

Notre Dame Educational Bridge Center’s Sr. Helen Wright Citizenship Program helps employ-ees of Notre Dame Health Care and other mem-bers of its healthcare alliance become citizens. Over the past 7 years, we’ve worked together to naturalize 53 new citizens from 13 different coun-tries. In addition, the Urban Missionaries has worked with approximately 160 additional people who needed some kind of immigration assistance, whether it be citizenship, green card help or spon-soring family members. Although these are truly impressive statistics, more impressive are the sto-ries behind the numbers.

I’ve been humbled by the love affair between so many immigrants and America. They are grateful, appreciative and insistent on giving back; it makes

me appreciate a little more what I, who grew up in freedom, might take for granted. I’ve been inspired by the importance people place on achiev-ing U.S. citizenship. They work hard, often at jobs that don’t pay very much, to save the $1,070 to apply for a green card or the $680 for each citi-zenship application. For families, this becomes a significant expense. For one mother, it meant working a full time job plus two other part time jobs, “I pick up shifts whenever I can.”

In addition to becoming good citizens of their new country, immigrants maintain responsibilities to family members in their homelands. They do, after all, continued to be children of, spouses of, parents of, people who are counting on them. So in between saving for citizenship or a green card, they send money home; it makes a great difference in quality of life. Sponsoring immediate relatives comes next – it also costs a lot of time and money but is totally worth a family reunited after years of separation.

The process lived by many new immigrants is newsworthy only if you look through a human lens. It speaks of a lot of hard work, money earned and spent on immigration concerns, hopes and dreams that families will be together again, years of striving and trying, the stuff America is made of.
