Thank-You Deacon Gustavo
Deacon Gustavo Correa will be completing his final semester at Pope St. John XXIII Seminary next week, and this will be his final weekend at St. Mary's Parish. Deacon Gustavo joined our parish community last summer for ten weeks as a Seminarian Intern for the Diocese of Worcester. The Seminary then assigned him to our parish for weekend ministry for both the Fall and Spring semesters. This weekend we take time to thank Deacon Gustavo for his presence and ministry to the people of St. Mary's. We congratulate him upon his graduation from the seminary and pray for him as he prepares for his Ordination to the Priesthood on June 3rd at St. Paul's Cathedral. As we bid Deacon Gustavo farewell this weekend, we look forward to his return to our parish on Sunday, June 4 to celebrate the 9:00 am Mass as a newly ordained priest.

Pledge/gift envelopes can be found in the pews and by the bulletins. Drop your gift into the collection basket this weekend or mail it from your home or click the button below to donate online.
