On Mother's Day roses for the Right to Life are sold at the doors of the church. During that time, we have an infant's crib in the gathering area into which parishioners place needed articles as donations. These along with the crib are donated to a shelter for single mothers. The Giving Tree program takes place during the Advent season. Throughout the first Sundays in Advent, a tree stands in the church with cards upon the branches with names, ages and suggested gift ideas.
Parishioners take an ornament and attach it to their gift and place it under the tree.
This year, gifts were sent to needy families in our parish, the Riverdale School, My Brother's Keeper, and Crossroads at Holy Redeemer Parish in East Boston. There is a special liturgy for couples during the time of Saint Valentine's Day . After this celebration, we have a gathering in the parish hall. Major feasts and celebrations are documented in the parish bulletin. Please be sure to check the What's New section of our site for current and upcoming events and celebrations.
