Fr. Rob will be celebrating Mass (virtually on zoom) for the Feast of the Epiphany on Wednesday, January 6 , 2021 at 7 pm.
It will be a short half hour or so liturgy, but a way for us to honor this important holy day. Check back later for a link to the leaflet.
The Outreach Committee will be holding a collection for the Food Bank Network on Sunday, December 13, 2020.
We will be in the church parking lot from noon until 2:00. This collection is focusing on personal care products. The Food Bank is receiving more and more requests for items such as toothpaste, deodorant, etc. and they run out of these items quickly. A more detailed list will be provided next week.
On Saturday November 28, 2020 at 2 p.m., Fr. Tim will be on the church steps giving out Advent Wreaths with some helpers.
You can park in the parking lot and come pick up your wreath, and at that time, give thanks to Fr. Tim. Please remember your masks and to social distance. We ask that you try to get there as near to 2pm as you can.

We will read our traditional Saint Nicholas story and rumor has it that Saint Nicholas may make an appearance! Mask required unless drinking hot cocoa or eating yummy treats as we want to make this safe for everyone! Just bring yourselves wrapped in warm clothes. The event is weather dependent.

You are invited to take part in a four-session Advent series on Wednesdays at 7:30 starting December 2nd in conjunction with St. John’s in Somerville.
How does Advent, the first season of the church year, cause us to reexamine our desires as we prepare to welcome Christ, the Desire of Nations? The series focuses on that question, with the theme of Advent Ethics. We will meet virtually on Wednesdays from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sessions includes prayer, a scripture reading, reflection, study questions and sharing.
Schedule:
Dec. 2: Redeeming Time: Being pushed back to Christ and to the Eucharist
Dec. 9: What Are We Waiting For? Examining how Isaiah’s oracles are employed in Advent liturgies to interpret Jesus’ birth, ministry and suffering
Dec. 16: The Three Advents: Looking at Bernard of Clairvaux’s account of Christ’s “threefold coming”
