Well, the new school year has begun! Our campus is bustling with all sorts of activity. It was nice to see so many families and parishioners at our first Family Coffee Hour of the school year last Sunday. In addition, our Faith Formation Program is also up and running. On Wednesday the first Believe Session, entitled “Franks and Forgiveness” will take place in the Gathering Space from 5 until 6:30pm. Preregistration is required so that we can order the right amount of food for the number of people participating. Faith Formation families should have received an email this past September 5^th with the link to register for this Session.

This Sunday from 6 until 7pm in the Gathering Space there will be a session of our Ignite Youth Group, open to all high school students.

In addition, on this Tuesday the 19^th from 5:30 until 7pm in the Gathering Space there will be the opportunity for all students from 8^th through 12^th grade to prepare lunches for Fr. Bill’s homeless shelter. More information can be found later in this weekend’s bulletin.
We are looking forward to having our various parish choirs back at our weekend Masses. As our Music Director Julie Fay indicated at the Masses last weekend, we hope that we’ll have a good number of new choir members to join with our longstanding members. Information about this can be found on the back page of this weekend’s bulletin.

Thank you in advance for your generosity to this weekend’s 2^nd collection to benefit the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust which assists priests of the Archdiocese of Boston in good standing.

Have a blessed week!
Fr. Palardy
