We thank all parishioners and the Knights of Columbus who kept prayerful vigil with us on October 31st at the abortion clinic in Attleboro. We had another “save”, that is, a saved life as a woman who exited the clinic said that something was tugging at her heart when she woke up that morning and she decided to not abort her child. We thank God for his grace which no doubt stirred the conscience of this young woman. We continue to pray for her and for her beloved baby.
On Monday, Nov 2nd we will have 2 Masses in remembrance of all souls (all who have died) at 9am and 7pm. After the 7pm Mass we will process to the Acushnet Cemetery with lit candles and when we arrive we will pray for the souls of the dead speaking aloud all the names of those who had funerals at our parish since the last All Soul’s Day. Please join us as we respect the dead with an offering of intercessory prayer which is a great Spiritual Work of Mercy.
Please join your fellow parisioners at Saint Mary Cathedral in Fall River on Nov. 1st for a special Holy Hour for Vocations with Bishop Edgar Da Cunha. Each year our parish attends this very important service to prayer for more diocesan priests and more religious sisters. The Holy Hour begins at 3:00pm.
October 31st is the next date of our parish vigil for the 40Days For Life. On this day from 6am to 4pm we will be praying in solidarity for unborn children and their mothers across the street from the last abortion mill in diocesan territory in Attleboro, MA.
All parishioners are invited to join us and to take an hour to witness to the sanctity of life and to all those who enter or drive by the clinic on that day.
The Memorial of God’s Archangels will be celebrated in the Church’s liturgy on Tuesday, September 29th. On this day Steven Guillotte, our parish Pastoral Services Director, will lead a Chaplet of Saint Michael at 6:00pm in the parish church.
All are welcome to join us in praying this beautiful chaplet in honor of Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. Please stay for 6:30 evening prayer on that night if you are so inclined.
We are ready to resume our parish blood drives as of Sunday, October 4th. On that day we will have a large blood donation van on-site in our parking lot to take donations from 7:30am to 1:15pm. Parishioners are asked to sign up as donors at the entrance to the church.
Giving blood is a true corporeal work of mercy! Thanks for giving of your very self – FOR LIFE!
