ANYONE INTERESTED? Until recently, the bells in the Bell Tower of our church have not rung in a long time. Much repair work needs to be done on them. Many people have mentioned that they miss the sounds of the bells. Our hope is that some day in the future we will be able to have them repaired. However, in the meantime, we are looking into having a Carillon System installed in the Bell Tower so that we can once again enjoy the sound of the bells before Mass and at other times during the day. A deceased parishioner has left a sum of money to the Parish to be used for the Parish. This gift will be used to help defray the expense of the Carillon System. This gift will not cover the complete cost, so if there are other persons interested in making a donation in memory of a loved one or for some other reason, please contact Jack Riley, our Operations Manager, for more information.

TRAINING SESSION
The Archdiocese is requiring all volunteers serving our children to participate in a training session, Protecting God’s Children. There will be several opportunities during the next several months for anyone, over the age of 18 who interacts with the children of St. Agatha’s Parish to attend a training session. This program educates and trains adults about the dangers of child sexual abuse, the warning signs of abuse, the ways to prevent abuse, and methods of properly reporting suspicions of abuse and responding to allegations of abuse. Such education and training is required for all people involved with the youth of this Parish.

Such education and training is required for all people involved with the youth of this Parish. A letter from Fr. Casey along with the training dates and times were sent out last week to all those involved in our School/youth programs. Please contact Debbie Riley at the Rectory at 617-698-2439 or e-mail her at Rectory@StAgathaParish.org if you did not receive a mailing and you think you should have or contact her to confirm your date of choice for the training which will take place in St. Agatha’s Youth Center. Programs are limited to 30 participants per session and will take place in St. Agatha’s Youth Center. You are encouraged to sign up early in order to insure your preferred date.
