Would
you like to learn more about the Amicizia Cristiana and about the spirituality
of Fr. Bruno Lanteri, founder of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary? Join us at St.
Clement Shrine (1105 Boylston Street, Boston, MA) this Saturday, October 17,
for our first Amicizia Cristiana monthly “Formation and Fellowship” gathering.
We will attend the 11 am Mass at St. Clements, and at 11:45 adjourn to the
front parlor for an hour of discussion about the Amicizia, Fr. Lanteri, and the
lay vocation. After that we will head out to lunch for some food and conversation.
The format of our regular meetings will be rooted in this quote from the Acts
of the Apostles:
“They
devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to
the breaking of the bread and to the prayers.” (Acts 2:42)
As
these words demonstrate, the life of the first Christian community was
characterized by four pillars: fidelity to the teachings of the Church, bonds
of fellowship among believers, celebration of the Eucharist (“the breaking of
the bread”), and community prayer. It is
from this model of Christian life that we hope to promote our vision of building
fellowship with other Catholics from all vocations who exhibit a fervent desire
to attain a deeper understanding of the teachings of the Church in their daily
lives and rekindle the activity of Christian friendships.
All
are welcome to attend our inaugural meeting this Saturday – we hope to see you
there! |

Help C-FAM Gather 1,000,000 Signatures
In the months leading up to the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the foundational international human rights document, C-FAM discovered that international abortion advocate and provider, Marie Stopes International, was planning on presenting a petition to the UN community calling for Global Safe Abortion and asking states to interpret the UDHR to include abortion as a human right.
C-FAM and allied organizations recognized the need to counter the Marie Stopes International initiative and launched the UN Petition for the Unborn Child and the Family in September 2008 with the aim of presenting the UN with the signature on December 10. To read and sign the petition just select your language above.
The C-FAM campaign started with the hope of garnering 50,000 signatures. By December 10, we had gathered over 400,000. C-FAM presented the petition to ambassadors from various states and to the UN community in a press conference at UN headquarters on December 10. Read press releaseHERE.
Heartened by the strong response from supporters and the positive feedback from the UN ambassadors that we met with, C-FAM decided to continue the campaign with the goal of presenting 1,000,000 signatures at the next session of the General Assembly.

Hi everyone,
As you may know St. Clement Shrine will be going
live with 24/7 adoration starting Aug. 15. People have asked about
books and good reading to have while at the shrine. AdorationBoston now
has a wishlist on Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/wishlist/3D0K2ZJK9FCVO
Anyone
who'd like to donate books to the bookcase that will be there for
adorers is encouraged to do so. The books will be donated for in-shrine
use. Consider purchasing used books - they're much cheaper. We haven't
populated the wish list completely yet - but there's also a much more
comprehensive listing of books that is also part of the Adoration
Boston wishlist - Amicizia Cristiana's goodreads library has hundreds
of good books that have been screened by faithful and orthodox
theologians and organizations like EWTN, USCCB, Catholic TV, etc.
Here's the link to their profile:

The easiest way to get the books to us is to have it shipped directly to the shrine. Here's the address:
