Rectory Septic System Fund - With the blessing of His Grace Michael, Bishop of Boston, a fundraising campaign has been initiated through our Tithly account to cover the expense of replacing the seventy-year-old septic system at the parish rectory. Despite the age of the system it was relatively serviceable until recently, but the results of a recent inspection revealed that the system is irreparable and must be replaced. The poor condition of the system and the estimated cost of replacement has created an unexpected financial burden for the parish. The final cost estimate is pending the results of soil sampling, but it will likely be 5 figures. Please consider donating toward this project, and any amount would be greatly appreciated. You can find the page to donate online by clicking HERE or HERE., or you can use the widget at the bottom of this page. 

The Annual Parish Classic Car & Truck Show will take place on Saturday, May 23rd, 2026 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on the parish grounds. General admission is free and there is a $10.00 fee if you wish to enter a vehicle. The event will feature great food, DJ "The Pom", raffles, baked goods, and more!  Vehicle registration begins at 9:30 am. Even if you don't have a car or truck to enter, please come out and support the parish! 

Save The Date - We’re planning a parish cookout and/or movie night for Friday, June 5th, which is a fast-free week. Please make plans to join us!

In Christ, 

Fr. Stephen

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Our parish rectory is located a few miles from the church property, a beautiful house that was built almost 70 years ago. The septic system is original to the house, and long past its expected lifespan. A recent inspection reveled that the system is in very poor condition and in need or replacement, which created an unexpected and rather urgent financial burden upon our small parish. With the blessing of His Grace Michael, Bishop of Boston, we have begun a fundraising campaign through our existing Tithely account in order to offset the cost, which could be as much at $40,000 depending upon the pending results of the soil samples. With humility, we ask that you consider giving toward this project according to your means so that the project can move forward. Donations can be made by using the campaign donation button below. May the Lord bless you for your compassion and generosity!

In Christ,

Fr. Stephen
