WOULD YOU like the Eucharist to be Brought to You?
If you or a loved one have been unable to receive Communion due to a short term illness (broken leg, surgery, etc.), or for longer, please reach out to us to schedule a Home Visit with Jesus. Visiting the Sick is a Corporal Work of Mercy, a tradition that dates back to the early Church. One of our trained Eucharistic Ministers will visit with you, and administer to you the Body of Christ.
To schedule a Home Visit, please contact us at 781-899-2611 or parish@stjulia.org
SEEKING Eucharistic Ministers for the Homebound
Are you a parishioner who would like to bring Christ to the homebound by being a Eucharistic Minister?

EUCHARISTIC Adoration
Fridays, noon – 1:00 PM at St. Julia Church
“If you desire to find Him immediately, see – He is quite close to you. Tell Him what you desire, for it is to console you and grant your prayer that He remains in the tabernacle.” — St. Alphonsus Liguori
The Eucharist is the central part of our Catholic faith because it is Jesus, present with us here on earth today. The Eucharist is Jesus’ greatest expression of His love for us.

MAKING a Difference: NPH USA & St. Julia
Become a Child Sponsor!
Dear Parishioners,
Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) supports over 9,000 vulnerable children and adults annually in nine countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
In Guatemala, 55% of the population lives in poverty with over 68% of the country’s child population living in poverty. This number jumps even higher for the country’s indigenous population, with 80% of indigenous group members living in poverty.
In 2022 in the city of Chimaltenango, NPH opened the Father William Wasson Family Center to better support the indigenous children and families, many of single parents, living in the commu- nity. Last year, the NPH Family Center supported over 150 families through 5 core services: daycare for children 2 to 4, tutoring services for local students, rehabilitation for children with dis- abilities and career empowerment and training for women and single parents, and technical/ vocational training for single parents.
The goal of the family center is to empower families in a very poor area of Guatemala and to support systemic and generational change. The three-floor building boasts color and education in a variety of necessary rooms to support the programs. As one of the only free services in the area, the waitlist for services is extensive. We could not do this important work without the support of people like you!
If you are ever in Guatemala, I hope you will visit both our home and the Family Center.
In mission,
Andrea Nahigian
Donor Relations Director – East Coast
Please reach out with questions, anhigian@nphusa.org or 617-206-4943
