🧶 When life gives you scraps, you make baskets!!
This is the latest undertaking for the Prayer Shawl Ministry: crocheted baskets made from scraps of donated yarn. “When life gives you scraps, you make baskets!”
These will be offered for sale at the Marlbouough Arts Center’s Holiday Sale in November. Proceeds will buy yarn for shawls and Baptismal blankets.
To learn more about our Prayer Shawl Ministry, contact Mary Horrigan through the parish office.

Showing Respect In The Presence of the Lord
With the transfer of the tabernacle from our side chapel to the sanctuary behind our altar, please remember that it is proper to genuflect or bow in the presence of the Lord. Genuflecting or bowing when you pass in front of the tabernacle and as you enter and exit your pew at the beginning and end of Mass is the customary way to show respect and reverence. You may recognize the presence of the Lord by either bending a knee down or, if unable to do so, making a pause and intentional bow.
🛋️ Thank You from Journey Home
Dear Father LeBlanc,
St. John Fisher’s parish recently organized a collection of furniture and household items for our clients who are moving out of homelessness and into housing. When our volunteers, together with volunteers from St. John Fisher, loaded the collected items into our box truck, the 15’ truck was almost completely filled with these donations!
Once again, the members of St. John Fisher have overwhelmed us with their giving spirit. We at Journey Home thank you sincerely for the generosity of your community. We especially appreciate all the work and planning done by Donna Sawan, who has been a consistent champion of our mission.
Our A Hand Up warehouse program is completely dependent on donations and volunteers, and your parish’s efforts made a huge impact. The collected goods will provide for many individuals and families and make their houses into homes.
Many thanks for all the good that you do and for again selecting us as a recipient of your generosity!
Sincerely,
Michelle Lipar, LMSW
Volunteer and Client Support Specialist
