On Saturday, February 1st and on Sunday, February 2nd, our 7th and 8th grade students will be participating in “Souper Bowl Sunday”, a national youth program. You will find some of these students at the doors of the Church with Soup bowls. As you leave you are asked to drop a dollar or whatever you can spare into the pot. The money that is collected will go to the local food support organizations. We thank you for your support.

We are currently looking into the Parish’s interest in hosting an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 4th.  In order to make this event happen we will need adult volunteers to help organize and work the event. We have scheduled a planning committee meeting for Monday, January 27th at 7:00pm in the Parish Center hall to discuss this more.  Please contact Jenn in the Faith Formation office at religioused@stannsraynham.org or call 508-824-9021 if you are able to attend this meeting and make this a fun event for the youngsters of our parish.

Grade 9 students will be attending their Confirmation Retreat on Saturday March 7th (groups 1-3) and Saturday, March 14th (groups 4-6) from 10:30am to 5:00pm.  The retreats will be held here at the Parish Center and students will be dismissed from the church following the 4:00pm Mass at 5:00pm.  Please keep the Candidates in your prayers.

Coffee & donuts are available after the 8:00am and 9:30am Masses.  We would like to thank Sharyn & John Pasquale, Claire Cote, and Pat Sadlier for assisting this weekend.  We are grateful to Bev Morgan for overseeing this activity, and Tim Holick, George Pike, and Mark Maimaron our “bakers.”  We are always looking for helpers and it’s a nice way to make friends and meet new people.  If you are interested in helping please call Bev at 508-823-9183.
