Our next Family Mass is June 17th at 9:00am For our Family Masses we seek teens and youth to help by serving as lectors for the readings, bringing up the gifts, and assisting with the offering collection.

big “Thank You” to Dino & Maryanne Cuscuna for the generous donation of the beautiful custom embroidered altar cloth for our parish. Your kindness is much appreciated !

COR UNUM MEAL CENTER ** Announcement ** We have not signed up to serve at Cor Unum Meal Center for the upcoming winter and spring months. We haven't been receiving sufficient interest for our monthly trips, and as a result we cancelled our last couple visits. This created difficulty for Cor Unum Meal Center, who depends on volunteers to keep their commitments after they've sign up.

Family Mass Sunday, June 17th

at 9am

Therefore, until we receive more consistent interest from the teens and families in the Reading community, we won't be continuing our youth ministry trips to Cor Unum. 3

COMMUNITY NEWS Dear Fellow Parishioners,

“Religion and the Opening Up of the Mind “

Now that the safety/sanitation enclosure around the dumpster is complete, I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your generous donations, cooperation and patience. Total donations were $1,954, just enough to fund the project. Without you, it would not have been possible!

Bishop Barron is a #1 Amazon bestselling author and has published numerous books, essays, and articles on theology and the spiritual life, in addition to his regular YouTube videos (@wordonfirevideo). Bishop Barron discusses how our minds restlessly seek, and how religion, at its best, never shuts down the mind, but opens it up. He explores the nature of "beatitudo", following the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas to conclude that wealth, power, pleasure, and honor will never satisfy, but only God can satisfy the infinite desires of our hearts.

I highly enjoyed working with the church and serving our community. Sincerely,

Bishop Barron’s “Talk at Google” can be found on YouTube (or other social media) and is entitled “Religion and the Opening Up of the Mind.”

St. Athanasius Welcomes Fr. Nieme.

On Saturday, May 19, Cardinal Seán P. O’Malley ordained seven men to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Boston. Newly ordained Rev. Lambert Nieme was among one of the seven. Fr. Nieme will be joining St. Agnes Parish as Parochial Vicar in June. The following are excerpts from an article on Fr. Nieme which was published in The Boston Pilot on May 11. As a child growing up in the Congo, Fr. Nieme was no stranger to suffering. At the young age of 7, Fr. Nieme lost his mother. His father, a sheep farmer, was left with eight young children. Two years after the death of his mother, his father remarried and two more children were born into his family…. He credits his father with passing faith onto him and his siblings. "My father taught me how to be a Christian," he said. "He gave me faith." … Fr. Nieme took temporary vows, always thinking he would be ordained in his home country, but he was first sent to the Catholic University of Congo to receive his Masters in Theology. "I always wanted to go back to my diocese and to be ordained there, but it was not meant to be," he said…. “… They told me I was too old," the 45-year-old said with a smile. "So, instead, I turned my attention to teaching." For the next five years, Fr. Nieme served as a professor in a seminary in Maidi, South Africa, where he taught philosophy and ethics to future priests…. "I was still looking at how I could be a priest," he said…. But somehow, Fr. Nieme kept receiving opportunities to study. After receiving his second doctorate -- this time in theology -- he found himself doing post-doctoral research in philosophy, anthropology and disabilities at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana…. "I remember clearly that I was there and began wondering if perhaps the American Church is where I was called to serve in the priesthood," he recalled…. With this thought still in the back of his mind, Fr. Nieme moved to Ottawa, Canada to finish writing his fourth book. "There I was in Ottawa and I went to a Vigil Mass and thought, I really should find a place to go," he recounted. As soon as he arrived at his home, he did an internet search and found Pope St. John XXIII National Seminary in Weston, a seminary geared specifically toward late-life vocations. "From the moment we met, Father Hennessey (vocations director for the Archdiocese of Boston) has trusted me," he said. "He welcomed me and treated me like a brother in Christ." That was in 2015…. [Fr. Nieme] added, "I have done things in academics, and many, many things in the world. I have had much success, but I have not had the promise of sanctity. I have not been able to fulfill that which I know is my calling." In 2017 he was ordained a transitional deacon. On May 19, 2018, he was ordained to the priesthood. He sees this new chapter in his life as a means to bring Christ and his message to the world. "The Church needs men and women of faith because we are living in this world that is more and more secularized," he said. "As a priest -- no, as a Christian, as a baptized Christian -- today, I need to be that courageous witness of Christ in this world." Thinking back on his life, Fr. Nieme realizes that he has always found welcoming and solace within the Church, no matter where he has lived. "I don't feel like a foreigner in the Church," he said. "I feel at home. I may come from outside -- from Congo, and Belgium, and Canada and everywhere, but I have come here and now I am home."

June 10 ~ Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Today’s scriptures remind us that even when we try to hide from God because of our failings and sinfulness, God is present extending healing and forgiveness. Being open and responsive to that grace, we then are “mother, sister and brother” of Jesus. Take a few moments today to pray again, the opening prayer of today’s Mass: “O God, from whom all good things come, grant that we, who call on you in our need, may at your prompting discern what is right, and by your guidance do it.” 5
