a message to our parish
In response to Governor Baker’s plans to reopen Massachusetts, we are presently planning to reopen Saint George Church for Mass beginning on Sunday, May 31 - Pentecost Sunday. It is perhaps fitting that we begin our reopening process on the “birthday” of our Church.
While we recognize that we are allowed to open for Mass beginning May 23, because of the significant preparation involved in meeting all state-mandated and Diocesan requirements we will not be prepared to do so until May 31. This is a date by which we believe we will be fully prepared to open safely while adhering to the above-mentioned requirements. Fully opening Saint George to meet the schedule we held prior to our closure in March will be a process rather than an event.

Updates for you
-
April 17During this time, as we await the day when our parish may open its doors again, we continue to pray for those affected by the virus, the healthcare workers, and all whose livelihood is disrupted. Our parish will be ready to welcome its vibrant community ‘home’ as soon as it is feasible and safe. Our buildings must be maintained and no one could predict this extraordinary event. Offertory donations can be delivered in several ways. Online giving is an easy and safe method. You can make your donations weekly or monthly. If you need assistance with online giving, please contact Kathy Hessel at mkhessel@aol.com Alternatively, should you wish to drop your envelopes at the rectory, the mail box on the front porch is available and checked regularly. Finally, some parishioners send their donations through the regular mail. Please know that we are sensitive to the households already impacted by this temporary loss of employment. Thank you for your support of our parish. If you or anyone in your family is in need of assistance, please contact our Pastoral Outreach Coordinator, Annie Doyle, at 508-450-4134.Read More

prayer in time of pandemic
O God, whose Only Begotten Son bore the weight of human suffering
for our salvation, hear the prayers of your Church
for our
sick brothers and sisters
and deliver us from this time of trial.
Open our ears and our hearts to the voice of your Son:
Be not afraid, for I am with you always.
Bless all doctors and nurses, researchers and public servants;
give us the wisdom to do what is right and the faith to endure this hour,
that we might gather once again to praise your name in the heart of your Church, delivered from all distress and confident in your mercy.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen
