The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

Today, Sunday, I plan to attend the annual prayer service where Cardinal Sean presents Cheverus Awards.

In 2008, Cardinal Séan O’Malley instituted the Cheverus Award medals. These medals are now conferred
upon selected recipients throughout the Archdiocese annually on the Solemnity of Christ the King. The
medal recipients -- who include laypeople, religious, and deacons -- are chosen for their service to the
Church and God’s people.

One of this year’s recipients is the Shrine’s own Br. John Maganzini, OFM. With Br. John, all of the
positive Catholic adjectives apply! He’s holy, prayerful, supportive, reflective, generous, attentive, reliable,
creative, humble, joyful, industrious, loyal, and inspiring. He is absolutely beloved by the worshipping
community in Boston and by the friars and staff here at Arch Street. In the early years of discerning my own
vocation as a friar, Br. John was most influential.

The public is welcome to attend this prayer service. It will be held at Immaculate Conception Church in
Malden at 2pm on Sunday, November 25.

Fr. Thomas Conway, OFM

Executive Director

Year- End Gifts

As the end of the year approaches, we invite you to consider making a tax-deductible gift to the Shrine. There
are a number of ways to make this gift.
• Cash/check - may be given in person or via the U.S mail. Please note that the gift must be postmarked
by December 31 to be counted for a 2018 tax deduction.
• Credit card – Make a gift on line – www.stanthonyshrine.org with a credit card. Or, you may call the
Development Office (857-206-7243) and give your credit card over the telephone. Our electronic
giving kiosks in the lobby, and at the information booth are two other options for credit card gifts.
• IRA Charitable Rollover – If you or someone you know is 70 ½ or older and has a traditional
Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you can use your required minimum distribution to support the
Shrine through a Charitable Rollover gift. Contact the administrator of your plan and ask that your
distribution be a charitable rollover to the Shrine.

Shrine. We encourage you to take advantage of your employer’s matching gift program.
