Did you know that in Dioceses throughout the United States, January 22 is designated as a Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children? As Catholics we are called to observe this day through the penitential practices of prayer, fasting and/or giving alms, in a way similar to our Lenten practices. Learn more about how you can participate by visiting the website below. www.worcesterdiocese.org/jan-22-day-of-prayer - From our Faith Formation Office
This Saturday, January 22 marks the dark anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. We observe this day as a Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children. As families, let us pray for all life that God created, born and unborn. May we use our voices to pray and remain steadfast in the protection of all life.
A Prayer to St. Gianna Molla [Click here for more information about this modern Saint.]
St. Gianna Molla, patron saint of the unborn, you healed mothers and children as a doctor and greatly suffered during your own pregnancy. Continue to look upon expectant mothers and pray for the protection of unborn children. Amen.

2022 Memorial Day Yard Sale, Anyone????
It would be nice to bring back our Memorial Day Yard Sale this year! To do this, It will take many hands helping. We are looking for three parishioners that would be willing to oversee the following areas: Yard Sale, Lunch Café, and Raffles. Then, of course, we will need volunteers to help set up/cleanup & sort yard sale donations and workers for all these areas mentioned. Can you help? Will you help ? If we do not get enough parishioner involvement, we will not be able to pull this off. This is a fun event for the public and our parishioners. It has also proven to be profitable for our parish. Let’s make it happen! Call the parish office and let us know how you will help. We will keep a list of volunteers and see if we have enough people to run this event. Call Michele at 508-885-3111 x103.
