THANK YOU!
HOSPITAL VISITS Each week, Worcester Medical Center (St. Vincent’s),
U. Mass Memorial and U. Mass University Campus are
called to see if any parishioners are patients. When patients
are admitted through the emergency room, they will often
not be listed under their parish. Please call the rectory when
a family member, friend or neighbor is hospitalized.
We also want to know if any of our parishioners are
currently in nursing homes. With the new privacy laws, it is
sometimes impossible for us to get that information.

their basket themes. At both church entrances, you will
find a basket with tags that suggest items needed for

CRAFT TABLE is looking for any type of craft you’d
like to donate. Some ideas are holiday decorations and
ornaments, knitted and crocheted items, household
decorations, or anything else you “craft”. Please put your
