Legacy of Hope

The Diocesan Capital Campaign called Legacy of Hope will be conducted in our Parish over the next 3 months, concluding at the end of this year. Msgr. Foley began this campaign in early 2020. The entire campaign was suspended by Bishop McManus in March, 2020 due to the pandemic, and will now restart for the remainder of this year. At this time, preparatory work is being done by Chairpersons Joe & Sue Black, and Fr. Riley.

We are most grateful to Joe and Sue for remaining as Chairpersons for this capital campaign. In the coming 3 months, there will be bulletin inserts and announcements from the pulpit explaining the purpose for Legacy of Hope, where monies collected will be used, percentages that will go to the Parish and the Diocese, and opportunities to present the purpose of the campaign and answer questions from parishioners at receptions in November.

An overview of the campaign has the following: current preparation, receptions in our Parish Hall on Tuesday, November 9 at Noon, Wednesday, November 10 at 6:30 p.m. and Wednesday, November 17 at 6:30 p.m., a talk at all masses by Joe Black on November 21, a presentation by Fr. Riley at Masses in early December, and an in-pew collection for the campaign, also in December.

Through Msgr. Foley’s earlier work last year, our Parish has raised $105,750 from 13 gifts from families and individuals, toward the Parish goal of $930,013. We are grateful for such a generous start for Legacy of Hope. We pray that St Luke will intercede for our Parish during this essential capital campaign that will address important needs of our Parish as well as our Diocese.

Thank you.

RCIA Inquiry Sessions

Weekly Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) inquiry sessions are ongoing Tuesday evenings at 7:30 PM in room 23 of the Parish Center.  This is an opportunity for people to learn about the Catholic faith tradition for the first time, or to revisit that tradition if their religious education or Sacramental preparation was interrupted as life unfolded.  All are welcomed to attend as many sessions as they like without any obligation or pressure to “become Catholic.”

There is no need to register – just go to the parish center and walk into room 23 where we will look forward to meeting you!  For more information on RCIA in general or the inquiry sessions in particular, please contact Bob Thompson via phone at 508-341-7677 or via email at bob_thomps@hotmail.com.

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou,

O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of s ouls. Amen.
