​It is through your generosity to the Catholic Appeal that we continue to provide support for our Catholic schools, operational support for our parishes, faith and formation programs at our parishes, and many services for those in our community who turn to our Church for assistance. Many of you may have received a letter from Cardinal Seán requesting your early support by making a gift to the 2022 Catholic Appeal. 
Supporting the Catholic Appeal is the most effective way to carry out the work of the Church, both within and beyond parish boundaries. Our parish directly benefits from the ministries supported by the Appeal. We hope that you will respond generously.  
Please prayerfully consider making an early gift by mailing back your pledge card, scanning the QR code or visiting www.bostoncatholicappeal.org/donate-now to make an online donation. Your gift will help put faith into action in countless and far-reaching ways and every gift makes a difference. Thank you!

​Dear Fr. Pham,

​Allow me this moment to express my appreciation for your kind welcome as I came to Blessed Andrew Phu Yen Parish to St. Clement Church last month, to celebrate the Mass of Christ the King and commemorate the Vietnamese Martyrs. Thank you for your gift provided following the Mass, your kindness will be very helpful for the work of the Church in the Archdiocese.

​Please know that I was greatly encouraged to witness the faith and enthusiasm of the many parishioners and families gathered for the Mass and the priests who were able to join us that day. Their collective presence was testimony to the importance of the Vietnamese Catholic community and Blessed Andrew Phu Yen Parish hold for the work of the Church, particularly the hope for the future present among the youth and young families.

Thank you, Fr. Phong, for all you do to lead and guide the Blessed Andrew Phu Yen Parish and your leadership for the Vietnamese Catholic Community. Your dedication to ministry and service is a blessing for the Archdiocese and the people entrusted to your pastoral care
​Asking God’s blessings upon you and all your loved ones, I remain,

Devotedly yours in Christ,
+Seán, OFM Cap
Archdiocese of Boston

​Synodality

Over the next several years, the Church around the world will be participating in a process called
the Synod on Synodality. The Holy Father will be meeting with Bishops from across the globe in 2023 to discuss ways of improving the process by which the church on all levels is open to hearing the voices of people from all walks of life.
That process will begin here in Boston now with asking as many people as possible to take a simple survey. The link to the survey can be found here:

“At the Mass yesterday I was just full of gratitude about the timing and everything,” said Father Phong Pham, who O’Connell installed as pastor on Sunday. “I was filled with gratitude that God really answered the cry of the Vietnamese Catholics and I think this is just the perfect timing and just God’s spirit and God’s hands were written all over it and on the face of the people.”

The new Blessed Andrew Phu-Yen Parish of St. Clement Church in Medford, the first Vietnamese parish in the Archdiocese of Boston, held a Mass on June 13, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, to celebrate the establishment of the parish and the installation of Father Phong Pham, its first pastor.

During the Mass, North Region auxiliary Bishop Mark W. O'Connell announced Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley's decree of the new name of the parish and installed Father Pham as the pastor. The occasion also commemorated Father Pham's 30th anniversary of priesthood.
