Did you know that in Dioceses throughout the United States, January 22nd is designated as a Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Human Life?  As individuals, we are called to observe this day through the penitential practices of prayer, fasting, and/or giving alms, in a way similar to our Lenten practices.  Learn more about how you can participate at www.worcesterdiocese.org/jan-22-day-of-prayer.

If you have ever considered joining the Altar Society or perhaps you have been looking for a new ministry to join, the Altar Society is in need of several new members.  The Altar Society Ministry members are responsible for cleaning and preparing the church for weekend services.  No one is asked to work beyond his or her capabilites.  You can expect to work in small groups for 2 hours (usually Saturday mornings) once every 2 months.  The ministry is made up of individuals, couples, and families.  For more information or to volunteer, contact Walter Zydlewski at 508-485-7683.
