The elderly in nursing homes are truly the forgotten folks in our community. Your gifts help to make their Christmas joyful. This year the Giving Tree gifts will be donated to Aids Project Worcester, Winter Hill Rest Home, Blaire House, Crescent Manor Rest Home, St. Mary‟s Health Care, The Bridge (Now called Open Sky), St Francis Nursing Home, Diocesan Seminarians, and the Mustard Seed Catholic Worker. There are several requests for larger size sweatshirts and sweatpants. We know that these can sometimes be challenging needs to fill, so please know that we appreciate your extra effort to find these gifts. It is really a special treat for our neighbors, who must usually wear second hand, ill fitting clothing, to receive something new and warm! Please - As we celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace - No toy guns or violent toys. Also, no battery operated items - these are too expensive for the poor to replace. Please, no cash and no food. Please wrap your Giving Tree Gift loosely in a GIFT BAG or RECYCLABLE BAG and reattach the tag. Kindly return it to the church no later than December 8th at the 11:00 AM Mass.

The cold weather is upon us and the homeless of our city wait in line for shelter in the only city shelter available. The numbers of homeless has grown to more than double the number of beds in that shelter. The local news reports say that several inner city churches might be planning to give shelter in their basements. We have seen nothing definite and in the meantime it is very cold searching for a place to sleep. A donation of gloves, a hat, a scarf or socks would be put to good use. There is a bin in the Outreach Collection area. Many thanks to the Prayer Shawl Ministry for their prayers and donations of scarves

Our Christmas Food Collection was given to Our Lady of Providence Food Pantry and the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry. Let’s keep the need filled! Food and paper products continue to be most welcome. Non-perishable food items can be left at the Outreach collection area just outside the door of the church hall.

Saturday, December 3 at 9:30am The children of the religious education program and their families are invited to a pancake breakfast with St. Nicholas. Join us in the church hall.

Our next meal will be served on September 16, 2016. Needs will be posted at the church exits at the beginning of the month.
