Thirty-third Sunday of Ordinary Time

The Shrine continues to support UNITE HERE, Local 26, in their ongoing labor dispute against the
following hotels: Ritz Carlton, the Sheraton Boston, the W Hotel Boston, Aloft Boston Seaport
District, the Element Boston Seaport District, the Westin Boston Waterfront and the Westin Copley
Place. The dignity of workers is an integral part of Catholic Social Teaching. On May 15, 1891,
Pope Leo XIII promulgated the encyclical Rerum Novarum. In that 127 year-old document, the
Holy Father says that the Church “does her best to enlist the services of all classes in discussing and
endeavoring to further in the most practical way, the interests of the working classes…” In 2018 in
Boston, this includes protecting the rights and dignity of hotel workers.
The friars and staff of the Shrine do our best to act, according the tradition of our faith, in the best
interests of vulnerable, alienated, and those on the margins. We invite you to dream broadly and
imaginatively about who those people are, and how we as a faith community might help them.

 Brother Maganzini, OFM nominated for Bishop Cheverus Medal

Every three years parishes and institutions in the Archdiocese of Boston are invited to nominate a person
from the ministry for the Bishop Cheverus Medal (the First Bishop of Boston). The medal is awarded to a
person for exemplary service given in the name of the Lord.

This year, the Shrine was eligible to nominate someone. Fr. Tom and Fr. Frank immediately agreed that
the recipient from the Shrine would be Brother John Maganzini, OFM. For 22 years Brother John, Mags,
has served the Arch Street community in a quiet and unassuming way. He is a spiritual director to many
people, a friend to countless people and an eager participant in all our ministries. In many ways, Brother
Mags has become the face of St. Anthony Shrine. In addition to this public ministry, Brother John served
the friar community as Vicar for 12 years and cares for the friars in many ways. Brother John embodies
the Franciscan Spirit and the Spirit of the Shrine--All Are Welcome!

We know you will join us in congratulating and thanking John. The medal will be presented by Cardinal
O'Malley at a special Daytime Prayer Service at Immaculate Conception Church in Malden on Sunday,
November 25th at 2 PM.

Congratulations and many thanks to our

Brother John Maganzini, OFM!
