Cover Art Notes… On the sixth of August, a Landscaping contractor by the name of Joe Iannacone was driving by St. John’s, and responded to PJ’s plea for help to volunteer his services.. He returned after a previous appointment andtransformed our overgrown lawn into a tribute that our Lord would be proud of. Joe has offered to assist in the future, if available and should you ever desire his services, please call 978-835-0032, Thanks for your help! ~ Pilar

Religious Ed - Confirmation & First Communion At last we have a date and time set for the administering of the Sacrament of Confirmation this year! Our regional bishop, Most Rev. Robert F. Hennessey, will be coming on Sunday, October 25th at 3:00PM for the Confirmation ceremony. Mark your calendars and get excited!
Also, know that we will be postponing the First Communion Mass until May of 2021 so that those who have been preparing for the sacrament this past year may celebrate together with those who will prepare this coming year. What a grand celebration that will be!
