Once again, the time has arrived for us to commemorate and celebrate the 27th Anniversary of the St. Mary’s Life Teen Program.  In 1997, St. Mary’s Parish entered unchartered waters by bringing a new and innovative program to engage High School teens in the faith.  Twenty-seven years later this courageous and bold vision lives on. St. Mary’s has been blessed by this program of “leading teens closer to Christ.”  It has fed other programs within our parish, as well as the Archdiocese of Boston, and beyond.  As we celebrate this extraordinary milestone in the history and life of St. Mary’s Parish, I ask each of you to continue to pray for the teens, the Core, our director Matthew Marquet, and for the continued fruits that are harvested from our very own Life Teen Program.

For more information about the program, check out the activities found on the Life Teen page of this bulletin or on the parish website: (www.stmarysdedham.com).

Also, any high school teen (grades 9-10) are welcome to join us Sunday nights beginning at 5:00 pm for Holy Mass, dinner, and fun; and/or Wednesday nights beginning at 6:00 pm for Pizza & Prayer.

May God who has begun this great work in our parish bring it to fulfillment!

Yours in Christ,
Fr. Wayne
