The News at NESM:

Rev. Wally Cedarleaf


In Memory of our Chaplain Emeritus - The Reverend Wallace Cedarleaf, 1918 - 2010

With both joy and sorrow, we mourn the passing of our brother and friend, Chaplain Wally, who went to be with the Lord on Monday, January 18th, 2010. At his side was his dear wife Ethel and his son David. His daughter Diane had the oppurtunity to see her Dad one last time over Christmas while on vacation. Please pray for Ethel, her children and grandchildren as they grieve the loss of Wally. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."


The Cederleaf Family has requested that donations be made to the New England Seafarers Mission.













    • Massport has BIG plans -

    NESM's Boston Seafarers Center, located at Black Falcon Cruise terminal in South Boston, is going to see some big changes this year. MassPort, the agency that oversees the terminal has announced plans to renovate and upgrade Black Falcon.

    As a result of these renovations, we are going to see our center look a little different. The upgrade is going to require MassPort taking over our fourth floor (The Phone Room) and use it as an IT (computer resource)room and Cruise Ship Line offices. So Massport has given us use of the fifth floor (Yes, more stairs!)

    So we are going to move the Phone Room down a flight to Deck 3, and Relocate the Chapel / Chaplains Office / and Internet Cafe up to the fifth floor. If all goes well, the chaplain, yours truly, will possess a great view of Black Falcon Avenue as well as an improved cardio-vascular system.

    We also plan to renovate the Money Transfer Room on Deck 2 with the help of volunteers from the Evangelical COvenant Church in Attleboro, MA. This project should provide a more efficient service in that room while maintaining the interaction between seafarer and volunteer. Not to be left out of the project is the Store on Deck 1. That room will receive a fresh coat of paint and some redecorating.

    We are thrilled to have the services of volunteers from The Boston Project, coordinated by their staff member, Emily Oldham, who also happens to attend High Rock Covenant Church in Arlington MA

    Interested in Volunteering? Check our calender page for dates and time.

    MANY, MANY THANKS FOR ALL THE GIFTS YOU SENT TO THE SEAFARERS THROUGH YOUR CHURCH OUTREACH COMMITTEES!! THE SEAFARERS ALL RESPONDED WITH SO MUCH JOY AND HAPPINESS AT BEING REMEMBERED. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

    "May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give peace."
