Mission Update for week of November 1

Mission Weekly Update and Prayer Petitions



As of November 2, 2010, we have had the mission’s car transmission repaired and have resumed visits to our mission faith community in Cape Cod, Rockport, and other areas around Massachusetts. Bishop Mel and I have also been visiting parishes of the North American Old Catholic Church in Rehoboth MA and New Haven Conn. and on Sunday will attend the first mass at St. Therese Parish in Providence RI.


We are in discussions to obtain spaces to hold regular liturgies in Worcester, Franklin and in Chelsea Massachusetts.


There are also welcoming and affirming Old Catholic Parishes in Rehoboth, Swansea Massachusetts, Providence Rhode Island, Brookline and Littleton New Hampshire.


The repairs to the Mission vehicle cost over $1750 (One Thousand Fifty dollars) half of which was charged to Fr. Bob’s personal credit cards and now our problem is to meet the regular monthly expenses and the increased payments on the credit cards so as to not have to cut back on services. Please consider making a donation to the ministry on PAYPAL by credit card using the DONATION buttons on our web site or by sending a check or money order to:
