Retirement Party

Its a Party - We Have a Date and Time for Celebrating Father Sas!

With Father Sas celebrating his last Mass with us on Sunday, February 19th, we will have a Farewell and Retirement Reception that same day following the 10:30 Mass in our church hall.

Sharing Sentiments - We will have paper starfish available at the church doors this weekend and next - please take one and write your heartfelt sentiment to Father and either return it next weekend or bring it to the scheduled party - we will be using these starfish to decorate the tables and then gather them so Father can read and experience all your well-wishes.

Food and Drink Sign-Up - We will have food sign-up available shortly for items such as appetizers, fruit, drinks and assorted desserts (in addition to a cake to be offered as well).

Gift Donation - We are also accepting donations for a gift for Father - please feel free to make a donation to a parish gift for Father by either writing a check to St. John Fisher with a notation about Father's gift or place cash in an envelope with the same notation. Feel free to place in the weekly collection basket or drop off at church.

While we are sad to see Father Sas leave us, we also join in celebrating his time with us and wish him well in his retirement - with gratitude for his years of faithful service and the love of Jesus, shared daily in how he lives his life and inspires all of us.

Looking forward to a wonderful celebration on February 19th, filled with Father's St. John Fisher Parish Family! So looking forward to seeing you there!

Catholic Relief Services ~ Rice Bowl

Rice Bowl materials will be distributed to Faith Formation classes this weekend and are available at the entrances to the church for all parishioners. This program is sponsored by Catholic Relief Services, a Catholic organization created to bring to fruition the commitment of the Bishops in the United States “to assist the poor and vulnerable by preserving and upholding the sacredness and dignity of all human life, foster charity and justice and embody Catholic social and moral teachings.” 93 % of all funds collected by CRS go directly to programs and 25% of all funds collected for Rice Bowl stay within the diocese where they are collected. Resources for individuals and families can be found at www.crsricebowl.org. These beautiful resources include prayers, recipes, stories and activities to enrich our Lenten journey toward Easter.

First Reconciliation

Please keep our second grade Faith Formation community in your prayers as they prepare to receive the sacrament of reconciliation next Saturday, February 11, 2023.

Birthday Cake Fundraiser for the Food Bank

Cake The Faith Formation Program will be collecting Birthday Cake Bundles for the Marlborough Food Bank. This is an ongoing monthly fundraiser with a goal of ten bundles a month. The bundle would consist of a disposable 13x9 cake pan, a box of cake mix, a can of frosting and a box of candles. These bundles would be passed out to families whose children have a birthday that month so that the family is able to bake their own cake for their child.
