Feast of the Holy Family

News and Notes:  Taking the advice of our Collaborative Steering Committee, I have appointed two members of each existing Parish Pastoral Council to join the current Steering Committee on the first Collaborative Pastoral Council.  These members are Michelle Cullinane and Dennis Rogers from St. Maria Goretti’s, and Susan Ardizzoni and Lisa Whelan from Our Lady’s.  To refresh your memory, the members of the Steering Committee are:  Chris Barrett, Jim Fagan, Donna Hegan, Beverly Merritt, and Mike Tetrault from SMG; and Mark Ferri, Diane Jenkins, Karen McGarrahan, Len Morrison, and Kevin Smith from OLA.  We shall begin meeting as a newly formed Pastoral Council on January 13.  Remember the Holy Day of Obligation Mass schedule for the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God: 

Tuesday, December 31: 4PM in both churches
Wednesday, January 1:  9AM at OLA and 10AM at SMG.

Blessings to you along with my prayers for peace and joy in 2014!
