Dear Friends,

Thanks to Rob Costa (RMC Construction), our Parish Center roof was completed last week. They work well and they work fast! There will now be some work done on the outside of the center and we hope to do some work on the interior as well. As of this week, we have collected $40,120.00 toward our Annual Appeal Parish Center Improvements. Thank you all for your generosity! We could not have done this without you.

I am very aware of the situation in which we find ourselves, financially, and otherwise. Yet once again you have stepped up (not surprisingly). If you have not yet had the chance to make a donation to our Parish Center Project please consider doing so. There are envelopes just inside the front doors of the Church in a box marked “Annual Appeal”.

Thank you all and may God bless you for your ongoing generosity. I know each of us is looking forward to being back together in Church. I miss all of you and I look forward to being able to worship our God together again, in person.
Fr. John

On May 12th, International Nurses Day, Pope Francis spoke of Nurses as holding a “very special vocation in which men and women become Good Samaritans offering courage, hope, and trust.” Let us pray for nurses and all who work in health care during these very challenging days. May God bless them in their important work.

The Taunton Area Community Table Meal Center is located at 378 Bay Street, Taunton. TacT is a community-based meal center dedicated to providing free delicious, healthy meals to individuals and families in a warm, friendly and safe atmosphere. All are welcome, no questions asked. The TacT Meal Center is currently open Monday – Thursday for “grab and go” meals from 11:15am to 12:30pm.

We are also accepting donations of single-serving breakfast cereals, single packets of instant oatmeal in different flavors, breakfast bars, yogurt, fresh fruit or any other breakfast items you enjoy in individual servings would be helpful. You can drop off at the meal center Monday through Thursday between 9:00am to 12:30pm. In an abundance of caution, we will have a bin outside the staff entrance side door where you can leave them without having any unnecessary contact. Thank you all for your continued support of TacT and the people we serve. For more information visit our website at www.tactmealcenter.org, call 508-386-3807, or visit our Facebook page.
