The sandwiches provide a nourishing mid-day meal for the residents of shelters which are closed during the daytime hours. We need your help to provide hundreds of sandwiches this Sunday, June 24 for the Bristol Lodge in Waltham. Please bring sandwiches (wrapped and without condiments) to the church kitchen refrigerator.

Comments Off on This Weekend – Annual St. Francis House Men’s Clothing Drive!
Posted in Important Announcements, Seasonal Initiatives
From time to time, different organizations approach the Service Commission with programs and ideas that our Parish might be interested in supporting or adopting. For example, an ARUPE Group came and gave a presentation on their work supporting new immigrants. It was an interesting opportunity, but we were unable to ask for volunteers or pursue it further without identifying a point-person to lead the project. To provide an easy way for more parishioners to get involved with these exciting opportunities, the Service Commission is compiling an email list of people who might be interested in leading one of these volunteer project. When a new ideas comes up, an email will go out to the entire group to see if there is any interest; this will allow us to get the information out quickly and efficiently so we can gauge interest and respond promptly to potential programs. To be notified of potential leadership opportunities as they arise, add your name to this email list by clicking this link: Service Commission Leadership Opportunities
