... so ... we are bringing in someone near you might have heard about this year ... I ... she's she's she's had not so much press this year I'm over it for people to ... Colleen and of course is the CEO of Facebook share also a member ... I ... Joe Barrett did not go long enough to scare you I now have ... to ... do as long as you possibly can ... so um ... you've been here before and the stage and ... ideas ... and you are ... the CEO of a really important company that most people Mr. I'm sure all people to stream use ... aam ... but ... really what's ... that have been written about you and and what people meant I mean that when the user name ... this year ... has been the man has been this book hero ... aam ... why should that matter ... to the people most from what it would isn't much demand weakness for ... several green and because it turns out ... men is still run the world ... Sir how well that spelling ... the ... when you but if the trend is for what's happened for women ... winning got an increasing percentage of the leadership roles in the nineteen seventies for about thirty years at every level ... then at ten years ago when completely fine ... sieve for the last ten years and for free America women and the very top and made no progress ... fourteen percent of the CS level shots ... seventeen percent of board seats ... at the same time another trend is happening which is that women are getting more and more of the college degrees and more more of the educational attainment ... I think it's really confusing people ... I was at a conference in excess of what might this last summer ... I sat down at lunchtime and white man sits down next to me he says ... remember us ... utilities in medicine we mean he said ... remember white men ... when you are running everything ... this is true to his headwind ... and ... E-mail he said there's still a place for white men in this well ... I think they're sure it's the it's happened every government in every country in every company in a well it's basically ... and there is this here right now that's happening where ... people are worried about males trajectory is ... there not seen the stagnation of the top is when things slow down slowly people can see it and ... how we handle all this ... we never talk about ... five years ago and what ... I would of never said the board wanted ... because they say the word one and ... the person across mute feature asking for special treatment or about to see it ... in a never say the word woman because it's even worse for them ... Delphi mine told me he'd rather talk about the sex life in public ... and talk about gender ... and still Iranian to how the conversation we need to have about when it is about gender and that's keeping us from getting more women to the top hat isn't ... it well and that this week is there ... a particular or ... take on the she would have with relation to the tech industry ... a lot of industries knows a lot of ... them different kinds of governments and ... social structures in the country which ... have a gender imbalance for about ten pm ... said the industry numbers range from like eleven percent to twenty one percent that basically every industry has the same problem ... people think it's packed to finance its not ... every industry is overwhelmingly led by men and women ... to look really not work in tech industry so what have you observed about ... the tech industry has one particular times which is ... more women going into Stanfield to protect early computer science and here's an interesting test to stay ... married to settle the already beat religious it's really hard to hire enough computer scientists ... if we caught ... wind in ... the same percentage as many into computer science ... Ewing and the staff for potentially close ... the gap in the computer scientists needed right now on a country still ... got that women are telling you when you when into computer science ... in the nineteen eighties about thirty five percent ... down below twenty percent assets on its own weight when you get when you been doing this and that lot of attention for ... the goal would be to cause ... attention to it ... but how do you sell those planning the weather things is what happens after reading and I mean I fall over as you know ... our but would quicker and much to many people fall over after leaving and ... added that what would you imagine occurs now because calling attention to it is terrific and you've got a ton of attention for but what happens is there any really yet the specific thing I wanna do is make it ok to talk about center in the workplace and educate people on how gender holds us back ... so he did it last night we talked about it ... we call little girls bossy care of herself posse on the station I am very mad at us afterwards I realized two seconds of taking them and now ... we don't call little boys posse ... we expect our gendered expectations are that who is believed to never posse ... are gendered expectations of winning is that he will be communal help ... finance its audience a constant ... menace audience ... seems raise your hands ... if anyone ever told you too aggressive at work ... that's a couple and ... as a percentage its lead ... women in this audience these raise your hand if anyone's ever said you're too aggressive at work ... and this is what happens in every city in the world I've done this ... cancel a man some five ten percent will raise their hands and all of the wind ... that's because is the same gendered expectations the color of the Stasi ... now we can change this ... she really is busted ... I mean ... you're only allowed to say that if you comment box seat and ... when I see outside Washington ... sectors that you can do and isn't easy intervention everyone has been content companies ... I'm and ... George Stace but came to see me he started up the same haven't Richard Bach ... which has an interesting way to start out I mean ... if you work for me when you least pretend you've read my book but ... that aside ... he said I've been listening to the things you've said all these years and I just to type three sixty performance reviews and I got feedback ... that a woman who works for me is too aggressive ... so when I do ... write to impress underperformance meal ... I went back ... and ask the people new to me men and women in the seat back ... what did she do specifically gets too aggressive ... an answer the question many sad ... it demanded exactly the same things ... would you have sent Mr. access ... to a person the people said now ... sell for one thing the counting ... understand ... I gave this talk ... Atta CEO conference is part of a turn your ... I shared data that is very clear ... as women get more successful they are less likes ... as men get more successful and powerful their father likes ... a lot of the stage and mail CEO I grab my hand he said thank you ... Lisa for awhile ... Sanders an open shot in my company it's the most important topics considered the heir apparent to me ... we have two internal candidates once a man once a woman ... she was slightly better results ... he's much better lights ... we were about to take an ... entire ... because now I understand ... this and he isn't a thing is if we start talking about gender openly and honestly ... I think we can solve itself ... you've been telling stories on TV and speeches of course the book but ... is their story ... which in two little anecdotes that you have you haven't told ... you talk about that ... some people understand the weekend in what is I cant that yes on TV when I was meeting with a large financial institution in New York ... I now with their senior team a nice that ... we need to start talking talking openly about pregnancy and child rearing and place ... right now in talks about that ... that's ... E-mail provided ... and he said I really clear what happens in my company ... I give a performance review in an ... I just sit and talk about high ceiling ... when I get a performance to beat a woman ... it's Act HR three times three lawyers have driven a stick to the scraps ... he's getting the feedback in that conversation ... there's so much about centering on top of that here's another one among I've talked about that's ... and and and and having a menial and in the Ram looks like ... meeting you guys to as ... having taken a bar ... meeting ... a man and woman ... was that look like ... a whole to manage any younger woman ... to ... any difference talk about mentoring win and that's what were talkin about ... sixty four percent of managers the United States ... say they're afraid to be alone in RIM with a one ... all things can change all that you know but here's our hair ... I they just knots are the eight Chernobyl over Preps over ... over were ... in over sticking them where is the real thing that you know they know from firsthand experience that their friend that soothed or whatever so they're just ... not worth it to them no it's that they're not Macs and assistance as they say are not helping ... so ... you asked when and you know I can return any any one night ... how was your maternity leave and ... basically we all have payments the same extent it is our companies everywhere but no one talks to us about it ... no it access ... and another one he's pride in the Senate Banking attack that this email it to mean that I do now ... we're so afraid to talk to women about their leaves ... and we don't cover their accounts ... so what happens no one takes their accounts to come back three months later ... the competition has stolen accounts because we're not taking care of that ... my brother ... he's a doctor use and ... he liked the guy who work for me to read my book which was ... nice ... and he said ... he is a woman he's China higher work for him ... late twenties just NTT said to her ... I won a Chinese surgical team everyone to work here ... and you may want to Sunday ... and if Etsy never have to talk to me that that's obviously a trace ... and he seemed to want to talk to me I note how my two sisters in my life ... no one help ... through it ... so in case you ever want on my chores and then ... come talk to me anytime ... I'm unique is for Korean ... and help them take the lead and how you can ... the conversation are in tech community meal Community Haskell that are never to have that conversation ... we know were using half accounts of the population ... it's a competitive advantage for people to see everyone ... and the conversation I believe that conversation ... would you more than anything to change that dynamic ... is completely up its fifty shape Facebook that regard ... had Mark take years in that time of your vacation correct but you know you're getting on attention for this ... is all the rumors about you leaving in running for president apparently ... the ... are you running for president now that ... I'm just going to ask them ... but he didn't miss a lot of explode around that what was he was the least of Mark developed you came here ... five years ago when you adjusted essentially met each other on Sundays it right ... bank ... of the family sedan what has happened between you two when when you see your different roles that Facebook had even ... considered too late to break ... up the fun places talk about that because the very first public interview market I ever gave as an Amazon states that when working together ... about eight weeks ... so wasn't rail on the back seat I'm it's a nice that lesson ... the best I can to be aligned with you but like ... on his replacement something ... sorry I just started working out ... and read a lot about it and ... what the meeting in an interview as we were really align the expense only time together ... beforehand ... I'm you know it's like any relationship we don't take it for granted and we we treat it really scares the your card Atwood is really sure ... how you interact with each ... we sat next to each other ... that we face the mess it's a lot and was the day on things even when I was taking his offer might not count the day went by and talk to them ... tickets are say we ... made an agreement on the way and that ... we would give each other feedback every Friday ... a lot ... I actually had started icing legs ... in one of the stake is wrong when you work for someone I was going to work for twenty three year old if you're member ... and I was crazy ... to get take that job rate Micra soft to digest a fifteen billion dollars ... we would never grow into that valuation ... and ... industry fear of can ... one of the sequester has helped me take these pills happens I sat on the back every week ... every week ... and he rightly led to the fact I want him ... we did that for years and now it's it's taking much more part of Ghailani on when and how I sleep your bowels what is there is still the product of shows in charge of business or Cheryl sae I mean that I report to hand everything where everything reports to him the question is what does he spend more time on my I spend more time on ... and ... where Barry Knapp's display he knew ... his products in engineering and design but he really wants to do is ... be in the options in his conference room ... with our product teams Revue absence would love to do so would you do ... I and help run the company I ran a sales team in a deal teams and marketing ... and help build a ... new business I don't see ... them answer that something that may be bridges those two things which is Facebook Home ... I'm ... why did she do it ... and why it least in the shirt right here is it not seem to ... take off in a big way ... so this coming the want of what is ... we think of Gary March transformation that we think absolutely will happen which is rebuilding your phone around people ... the fund is incredibly social divides to soften numbers for married that ... you know we are all walking around with the computer and pocket ... which is a hundred thousand times more powerful ... than a computer that's it the first man to the year I was born which makes the film will ... but leaving that aside ... it's an incredibly Haefele licensing anti social science ... but believe me is that the way it's organized is still an activity finance ... and we believe ... that the phone book and reorganize around people and home is the first ... first ... iteration that they're in their bins several other ... software companies and ... hardware companies that have ... just sold bonds that ... I mean Windows Phones have the people of built and Dom ... aam ... there been a number of others like to ... try to do this you consider success because many people don't yet summit we consider to be one very early I'm sure every company like us we love it because that is the one burgeoning get everything right and ... you know ... you mention you have the power though in that regard given ... to will use if it's legal in Apple ... had where is the power of Facebook connect of Mary's lies at the Mobile mobile mobile again ... where's the power for Facebook ... so Facebook is an incredibly important mobile app and also incredibly important mobile platform I think people get this wrong ... people think ... you're building on Apple or Android UI less or injuring four seats back ... that's not true ... actually we're all building on high alas Apple I alas or injury ... copper that means people are integrating Facebook as well so ... but at the top received less apps ... over eighty percent effaced but can create a for seventy percent of pricing and write apps for anything with these ... and sit with me wanting to do ... is continue to develop ... you're incredibly important mobile app and we think we can become increasingly important but not run this thing out ... he get ... it man ... all of an ... insurance rules ... it basically I mean I'm I'm I'm I'm refuted ... it was a pretty positive that ... go well it was except they said you have to be in Facebook world for this to be what you would like it or not ... this is time ... it's going to take your attention away from everything else mobile and on the phone ... including things that ... gold will put on their door ... yes what airport on their ... somebody else put on there ... I'm just wondering I'm you have ... a billion users ... why isn't this really a hot commodity ... sin is ever get what it what we are getting payback ... said the feedback we're getting is exactly what you're saying it's very bimodal if you look at stars ... began five to meet him once again on the Cypriot summer reading every single one and looking at ... for the people love that you're right there had the Facebook users they want that experience ... not only deal added that the matchups are working really well for us ... they're using face a twenty five percent more ... and injuring ten percent on messaging so this is a win there but in terms of how to drive our business and finance ... for the people I don't love it ... they don't like Palin Takes Airbus and feel like how the watcher ... reorganizes the apps the party wants ... but for the most part they actually like it to port features the bonds which are ... covered the attack ads ... and so what we are doing is getting that feedback and were Guinea he can and it's you ... monthly rollouts advance ... I don't know how long it'll take ... you should keep asking us about I think it will be a long rant ... but we really believe that where on a path to making things worse it is about in the mobile business as assigning you guys at the sewing your charges upping the mobile ... advertising ... that you were largely desktop business still moving into mobile but ... at the time you're IPO ... at you ... with the content that is a and ... and ... you are you just moving into mobile and it was really more experimental and it didn't ramp up and was one of the big issues around your IPO is the mobile problems and that's what every company it's not that Facebook that the ... the brunt of that ... the templates ... top of that that mobile business and if it's enough to you ... you know to move this company into something that was it still seems very leery of the situation that the stock goes up and down ... much more than any other ... sales were really tease with the momentum in our business ... and I think mobile represents ... not just a good opportunity for us but an opportunity that's a better opportunity and we have on task ... I think we have a bigger competitive advantage in the ad business on mobile and desktop ... and here's why ... on we get an enormous percentage of people's time and attention on mobile phones ... we get one in seven minutes in the US on the desktop ... to get one in five minutes on mobile phones ... the second is we have really Kennedy so we know where people are along with all the information you shared about so ... now we have people walking around the mobile device ... called a ... very social ... and we have an opportunity ... what's interesting about Iran separately ... is that we are planning a mass medium and very targeted ... and many other players are one but not the other and we can do that ... so ... mass media you know ... we have a Super Bowl every day in the U S desktop and mobile combined increasingly on Noble ... says Samsung want success for history sorry ... on a stack ... of eight hundred and five ... million users in the last one to five million people ... absolutely he chariots ... and a return on their ads and was ... thirteen which is ... but sometimes casino as well just crazy numbers ... we also did very targeted rates ... we can if you wanna reach twelve million people who are likely to buy a car in the U S the next six months ... we can do that ... yet with apologies to Bloomberg ... we can find a twenty three million very heavy soda drinkers ... in the U S ... adding a one point in time and so ... we think in the mass media ... and very targeted and we sat down just a ... week and all day ... because you are taking a painting using Facebook on say ... we also have a national ad formats one of the challenges that you've read about it as it talked about extensively as ... you know your answer on a rainy ... weekend dealing Ukrainian steel ... and ... we've really meant alot for damages people consume anything ... and we were able to that's an expert farewell ... we went public the year-ago was really easy to know how much mobile revenue that is basically zero ... totally easy number to number and ask ... people were worried ... your usage is getting an elbow Mobile's going faster than desktop ... and you had no revenue their ... class for every reported thirty percent ... of our revenue ... on now and I've read he's been continuing to ... sell so both last night that Tim Cook and ... you just saw Mary ... also ... a sign that the next wave in the IBC tablets and in this enormous thing ... phones tablets ... where bulls is that is the next thing I stand Ex hike of a class last week and ... it's only a minute to figure out how to lead Apple once I did I'd quite like that like to pass House sites in three pictures of people walking around most of them are into Facebook which he is a lot ... I have to get use to but ... but I do have ... a T teams worry ... people just working strictly on how to read ... into Facebook ... oriented mobile of wearable device ... we're not working on wearable device but we were are what are the first apps that Swansea need of a class we were initial developers we've honestly wants with noble class ... some like everything ounce ... the it's not an either or for us people are Guinea is who will glass and face to face but sorry integrated people use and right ... and face and ... I alas and taste ... Q Will Rabbi said the keys as is due on any device that you feel that Facebook is never to be a device maker because a lot of power now is accruing to those that though ... I mean never say never but we're not an ice making company and what about a slightly different question ... playing out on that which is okay you don't make the device ... but you do which are doing in home ... which is you certain ... figure out a way to take it over ... well I think they want to get away to make the site was glad I lived a ... maybe the watches made by Apple but if I want ... it to become a Facebook essentially ... an ethane is working on ... White says but the only ... potentially ... potentially lead what we wanna deal is the people able to use Facebook wherever they are to make it seamless ... we also really want to Reorient around people and I think they have really important in any advantages there because ... we can reach people across any device that's ... what the continued worry that Wall Street about Facebook you get either as having really certain that if you had the IPO and had troubles due to a lot of things when eleven mentioned Cuba getting wrong about the Facebook story from your perspective and what are they ... what are you worried about ... Asus has time on a long time again never speculate on speculators Sykes hinted that ... I'm but when I look at our performance as a company a year ago when the public today ... I think were unequivocally a stronger company you know we went public with eight hundred and forty five million users ... hard to grow in big numbers ... for now cost one point one billion ... still continuing to grow in every geography and last ... time we went public ... you know and read Eastman has increased ... I sat on a stage five years the camp ... when the things taste the keys to say all the time is fifty percent ... of its users ... came back every day we'd seventy million users when I started a new now ... I was hired to help steal the company size as the scenes the future I will then as I would run around telling people for St ... because me on that happens your early adopter Xyrem as active as you get bigger numbers ... that percentage the contents we get a hundred million ... as of the year for your between them public ... we have fifty percent for users coming back every day ... today we have sixty percent ... so we're growing users and we continue to grind it's been at the same time ... our revenue and where I was is this was the year again compared to as businesses today ... I think we're eating and the least running very happy with them when you were at a vacuum ... to help that I worry that everything ... but what I have been wary are so twenty you ... what you can send with this that the image is into here Facebook does get beaten up more than other companies in terms of ... where it's going even if results are good and it goes back and forth it's a very interesting ... thing amicably clear is that it people get sick of it are they not been second hand ... when I first on twenty kielbasa a long-time camp ... Eric Schmidt give a bunch of us talking Alyssa's mean talk ... his reflux ... you never is dead as they say you are when he's here and there never is that as you say your face but definitely has its main see now ... one from about four years ago is ... oh my God my mom's on Facebook I'm getting off ... there is a sad and lives get all the teenagers are leaving case but as the moms on what happened ... the mom started using Facebook then and and people stay in so ... yes there are lots of news about us ... but ...

Facebook ... yes it means now I have teachers elect and that means that them that we'll get out of gas and so that's a set ... the question is are teenagers and easy things that I think what's happening is that ... we are the latest dining anecdotally I've had teenagers and even people and twenties tell me ... or pre much done with it we have this other thing or whatever ... I think what's happening is that were the leaders in a growing market and debris are these things are true is that is absolutely the case ... that teenagers and others are using other social services more than he used the services before ... they're using Twitter mourn their using common more ... you know I sat ... in my basement with Mark ... I ... interviewing for the job market of five years ago about how this can be so much more ... social and sharing in real time communication and ... that's what's happening ... silly yes teenagers are using other things more ... the same time they continue to be very active against his accusers them are watching and really carefully at Chris and if you're a part time ... ago I had my sink apart from last week said that ... if you look at teenage uses on fees paid ... for two thousand eleven to today ... it went from ninety three percent to ninety four percent ... said yes ... people are using other social services and we are saying but that might ... target the growing dark ... that this time is flexible so ... if there is no if is there some gains if you went to Mary's turns eighteen she hadn't been there but ... the average Facebook user so we get by far the missed time from the average user of any ... at any him ... aam I'm taking ... which is less than six hours a month ... gasoline YouTube or number two there under for ... the average person much as thirty four hours of TV in United States um on ... on what Israel ... to six hours a month to thirty hours a week ... do I think there's time and room for people to do a lot more searing before we get that ... you know a zero sum game yes ... I think it's a sign that said there because ... all these other services are growing as we continue to ask the question that that ... Q what Instagram most loving isn't a big success keeping people on the service ... getting addicted to caffeine budget left it alone ... how do you feel about that prices ... and that ... that deal ... though I think it's looking like a very good deal and we thought it was a good deal all aam ... aam seems to me and he bought then he ran thirty million users at a hundred million ... the engineering users in two years to Facebook force that's incredible craft ... and we've been great working relationship ... and ... have been and is kept under my running tights and Lee why ... did you know I'm ... in the case but she's doing the business side liking working the count ... and we are supporting aircraft and letting them build their contents feeling incredibly well and the waste acquisition we say you've stopped ... looking at today ...

This week's blog is posted the day before we will ordain six new priests for the Archdiocese of Boston. Presbyteral ordinations are always wonderful occasions. If you are reading this blog in the Boston area, I encourage you to attend. The Mass of Ordination will take place at 9 a.m. at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston. I look forward to sharing the details of the ceremony with you on next week's post.
Last Thursday, we celebrated Mass with the consecrated virgins in the archdiocese. The Mass was offered for Jane Claire Forte, a consecrated virgin who passed away recently.
Boston has one of the larger groups of consecrated virgins in the United States. This ancient order in the Church was restored after the Second Vatican Council and sought women who consecrate themselves in celibacy to a deeper life of prayer and service in the Church.
Certainly, in today's world, the witness of the consecrated virgins is more needed than ever. We are very grateful for the women who have come forward and discerned this specific vocation in their lives. Sister Marian Batho, our delegate for consecrated life in the archdiocese, has been very good at helping us to prepare women for this vocation.

On Thursday evening we celebrated a Mass marking the 50th anniversary of the presbyteral ordination of the class of 1959. The Mass took place at Regina Cleri, the archdiocesan residence for senior priests in Boston. In attendance were 33 priests and, as always, it was a very joyful occasion.
Msgr. Frank Strahan, pastor of St. Bridget's Parish in Framingham, who was also celebrating his 50th anniversary as a priest, was on hand to lead us in the music program. For him this was not a onetime appearance, since he actually comes every year to sing at this Mass.
I thanked the priests for their many years of service and for their response to the call. I asked them to pray for our upcoming ordination class and for our priests as we embark on the upcoming "Year for the Priest" that will begin next month.

Friday, we had a meeting at the Pastoral Center with the pastoral associates. A number of them shared their experiences and various aspects of their ministries in the parish. It was a very moving testimony.
At the gathering, we gave a farewell gift to Sister Dorothea Masuret, CSJ, who is winding down after many years of service in this program.

Saturday, I went to the Redemptoris Mater Archdiocesan Missionary House of Formation for the installation of two seminarians receiving the ministry of Acolyte—Steven Clemence and Felipe Gonzalez.
It is always a joy to see young men willing to prepare themselves to serve the people of God as priests.

Also on Saturday was the celebration of Chorbishop Joseph Lahoud's 50th anniversary. He is the pastor of Our Lady of Cedars, the oldest Maronite Community in the United States which is located in Jamaica Plain.
Boston's Archbishop John Williams established that community around the year 1890. The Maronite Community is mostly Lebanese of origin, although there are some parishioners from Syria and Palestine as well.
There are two Maronite dioceses in the United States—the Eparchy of St. Maron in Brooklyn and the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon in Los Angeles.
Bishop Gregory Mansour, the Bishop of St. Maron, attended the celebration and was accompanied by his Vicar General, Msgr. Michael Thomas, who is from New Bedford. I know his family very well and his brother, is a doctor who works for the Caritas Christi hospital system.
I always enjoy their liturgies. They use the language that Christ spoke at the Last Supper and among the very beautiful scriptural prayers that they say is the final prayer of the "Farewell to the Altar." It is a very beautiful prayer in which the priest says farewell to the altar, not knowing whether he will live to come back to celebrate another Mass. It is a very nice prayer, and I would like to share it with you:
Remain in peace, O Altar of God. May the offering that I have taken from you be for the remission of my debts and the pardon of my sins and may it obtain for me that I may stand before the tribunal of Christ without condemnation and without confusion. I do not know if I will have the opportunity to return and offer another sacrifice upon you. Protect me, O Lord, and preserve your holy Church as the way to truth and salvation. Amen.

That night was Confirmation at St. George's in Framingham. Both Father John Rowan, the pastor, and Father Ben LeTran, the associate pastor, are doing very well.
Last year, St. George's brought a number of young people to World Youth Day in Sydney and it was nice to see some of them there for their confirmations.

Monday was Boston College's commencement ceremony. Every year they invite me to do the Benediction at the end of the service.
A number of very outstanding philanthropic Catholics were awarded honorary degrees, including Margot Connell (a philanthropist and supporter of Catholic education), Joseph Corcoran (a real estate developer and pioneer of mixed-income housing), Father Daniel Harrington (of the Weston Jesuit Community, an acclaimed Biblical scholar and author), Carolyn Lynch (volunteer leader and noted philanthropist), and Benaree Pratt Wiley (advocate of leadership roles for people of color in the business community).
Ken Burns, a renowned historian and filmmaker, gave the keynote address.

This past Tuesday I attended a special event on the Tadpole Playground on the Boston Common. This playground was created in 2002 by the Highland Street Foundation in loving memory of David McGrath. It was an appropriate place to celebrate twenty years of the McGrath family providing grants for community groups, through their Highland Street Foundation. On Tuesday the McGrath's awarded twenty nonprofit groups a $100,000 grant , to assist them in the important work of meeting the needs of children, families, seniors and the homeless.
Also, the Foundation announced that it is sponsoring Ten Free Fridays, a program that allows Boston residents to visit a local museum and other attractions for free on each of ten Fridays this summer.
JoAnn McGrath and her family have been, and continue to be, very generous to the many Archdiocese's many agencies, programs and services. I am grateful for the support and friendship of JoAnn and her family.
We were very happy to be a part of that celebration. The mayor, lieutenant governor and I were all there to accompany the McGrath family. It was a beautiful day and there were many children in attendance from the various recipient organizations. Organizers were giving out cotton candy, popcorn and balloons—the kids had a wonderful time.

On Tuesday evening at the Convention Center, there was a banquet with 1,500 people celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, which has had so many civic achievements on behalf of the community.
The keynote speaker was Colin Powell, who gave a wonderful talk.
They honored a number of Bostonians, including Peter Lynch and Jack Connors.

Wednesday, I attended the Master of Arts in Ministry graduation at St. John's Seminary.
As I told the graduates, there are now over 30,000 lay ministers staffing our parishes throughout the United States, plus many thousands more involved in other ministries of education and health care. In the future, we know that this number is going to grow and therefore programs like MAM are very important.
I read to them from the bishops' letter — "Co-Workers in the Vineyard of the Lord' — the description of the characteristics that we want to discern in people who are lay ministers. Among them are: their love for the Church, their own interior spiritual life, their frequent reception of the sacraments and their fidelity to the magisterium.
The program helps people to deepen their spiritual life and their relationship with the Lord, better preparing them to serve God's people.
It is more than just a corpus of knowledge that is communicated; it is more than just some initials after their name. The Master of Arts in Ministry is truly a program of deep formation—spiritual, psychological, theological and human— to prepare them for their mission of service.
At this time of year, when we bishops are confirming up a storm, our ardent desire is that these young people who will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation will respond to the graces and live out that commitment. That is certainly what the graduates of MAM are doing, thanks to the direction and guidance of the people who work in the program—Father Arthur Kennedy, Aldona Lingertat, Angela and David Franks and all of the other professors and staff.
God Bless!
Cardinal Seán
