Feast of Corpus Christi

~ Procession ~

Sunday, June 11th

Procession Route

We will have a Eucharitic procession after the 11AM Mass at St. Margaret’s. All those who wish to attend may walk in the procession. The route will turn right down Main St, take a right onto Wallace Ave then turn right on Cohassett Ave, and another right back into the parking lot. There will be three stations on the property before going back into the church for Benediction During this year of the National Eucharistic Revival all parishes have been encouraged to have Eucharistic processions. You may stay in the church if you can not walk the entire route or you can join us for the stations on the property. Please consider joining us on this solemn feast and reviving this Catholic tradition. WEATHER PERMITTING

Community Garden

Last year we did a trial run creating a Community Garden for those who are in need. We are looking for help in watering the raised garden plots beside the church opposite parking lot. If you take walks on the canal you may want to take a detour and help those in need. If you have any ideas on how we can improve our production that is greatly needed. Please call Donna Struzzieri 774-571-9283. If you’re going to be in the area and have a few minutes we can use your help. This garden will provide vegetables that will be donated to those in need via St. Vincent de Paul.

Special Thanks!

Special thanks to Tom & Zygmunt who donated their time and talent to completely renovate the rectory deck at 41 Puritan Rd. The deck was in desperate need of repair to the point of myself falling through it. The only cost to the parish was materials. Thank You so much. - Fr. Marek

ATTIC TREASURES THRIFT SHOP

A huge thank you to all who have contributed to the success of our shop which benefits our parish in many ways. However, with success comes challenges and once again we are seeking volunteers. Please consider helping even if it is
for a couple of hours each week or every other week. Specifically, we need assistance on Fridays and Saturdays, but any day Tuesday through Saturday would be welcome! Also, anyone with online selling experience would be greatly welcomed. Please stop by the shop if you would like to help out or call Cheryl Legace (774) 291-2098.
