HELP NEEDED for ST. BASIL’S - We are experiencing a shortage of volunteer helpers for our Monday meal ministries. We would truly appreciate it if a few more helpers could join our hard working crew, even if only once in a while. We start at 9am and finish around noon. It’s hard work, but fun and rewarding. We’re so grateful to those who help us. If interested, please contact Cathy Chadwick (978-884-2149) or feel free to just inquire about our services that provide basic necessities to those in need of home-cooked meals, companionship, and visiting our food pantry. We warmly welcome all who come through our doors. Thank you!
Our 100th year wrapped up with the annual Christmas Spectacular showcasing a variety of talent throughout the Parish after a potluck lunch which immediately followed our beautiful traditional Christmas pageant performed by the very youngest of our Parish. Many thank you to Jennifer Cooper and Susan George for your work scheduling planning and coordinating this annual event. Thank you to Melinda Patrick and Joanne Hight for casting, rehearsing and directing the Pageant!
All of you, phone photographers be sure to get your photos to Melinda Patrick who has assumed the monumental task of compiling the BIG BOOK to commemorate our History and this year of celebrations.
