Young parishioners Maeghan, Jamie, and Gavin recently spread positive messages at the Mustard Seed.
As members of a "Save the World' project in their English class, the three gave small bags of treats to the Mustard Seed guests. Each bag contained a note with an uplifting message. The guests enjoyed and shared the notes, band aids, mints, hair bands and others items with friends. This act of kindness spread and helped, in small and important ways - to "Save the World" from what can usually be sad and lonely moments .

Property Sale Update:
Back in early June we announced that approximately 14 acres of unused wooded land that the Diocese of Worcester owned in the name of St. George Parish was officially sold for a gross amount of $380,000.00. The actual amount of money that our parish received after deducting real estate costs, attorneys’ fees and reimbursing parish accounts was $300, 223.00. When the sale of this property was first discussed with our parish finance committee two years ago, it was decided that the money from the sale of the land would either go toward replacing the existing parish rectory or renovating it. The decision, after consulting with both the parish finance committee and the pastoral council, was to renovate the rectory. Through the Diocese of Worcester which will be the party overseeing this project, an architect has been hired to design a renovated floor plan for primarily the first floor, the inner stairway located at the rear of the rectory leading to the second floor and a portion of the second floor. More information will become available at a later time.
