Don’t forget to update your contact information if you’ve moved. We don’t do many bulk mailings, but when we do, we get a number of envelopes returned due to relocations. Please help us keep our records up to date and just drop Tracey an email or give her a call to let her know of any changes. Thank you so much!

If you are in need... don’t be afraid to reach out! We have our St. Vincent de Paul society at Holy Family that assists those in the East Taunton community struggling to make ends meet. They can be reached at the main parish number, but then choose extension 3 to leave a voicemail and one of our Vincentians will return your call.

Faith Formation Registration 2024/2025

If you are interested in teaching Faith Formation this year, please email or call  Kellie-Jo in the Faith Formation office.

We are looking for Faith Formation teachers and substitute teachers for the upcoming school year. If you have been Confirmed, love to share your faith, and enjoy working with youth, please consider joining us! You do not have to be an expert or a Theologian! If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Kellie-Jo in the Faith Formation office or email them at [email protected]. We hope you join us!

We are beginning to plan our calendar fundraiser. This fundraiser has become an annual tradition with many parishioners participating and enjoying the chance to win prizes. The calendar drawings will be held in the month of December. We are planning on selling the calendars beginning in October. We would greatly appreciate donations of money, gift cards and lottery tickets. Please place them in an envelope marked calendar. They can be dropped off in the collection baskets or brought to the parish center. Thank you!

Father Matt is sponsoring a pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi, Italy late July early August 2025. There will be flyers at the church entrances with some of the information. If you are at all interested please reach out to Father Matt, or Therese in the office so we can begin to build a contact list. We will hold an informational meeting in the coming weeks, so we can begin planning and thinking of fundraising ideas. We hope that you will consider joining this amazing opportunity. The year 2025 is a Jubilee Year and doors will be opened that are not normally opened at other times which offers a special glimpse at the beauty of our Catholic Church. This trip is open to all ages. See pdf document below.

We need your help stocking our shelves for the Spring months ahead. Donations may be left in the bins at the church and/or the parish center. We would especially appreciate the following items: jellies & jams (grape & strawberry), canned pasta sauce, dried beans (lentils or split pea) pancake mix, frostings (chocolate or vanilla), ice tea mix, dish detergent and laundry detergent. Thank you for your generosity, which directly helps our local East Taunton neighbors in need. Thank You!!

Holy Family Men - Faith, Fellowship, and Fromage!  We meet in the Parish Center on most Thursday Nights from 6:30-8:00 PM where we discuss and solve all the world's issues, learn about our faith, have coffee, water, cheese (fromage), and crackers, and pray as men together.  Hope to see you there!

As a reminder, we ask that our adorers first attempt to find coverage for themselves if you can’t make it by using the book in the chapel to request a substitute, posting on our FB page, or utilizing the substitute adorer list. You can also ask a family member or friend to cover. Your help makes it easier for our volunteers to keep everything running smoothly! We understand that emergencies come up and we are happy to offer assistance if necessary. As always, thank you for your commitment to our chapel! We couldn’t have this gift of Adoration without your dedication! We would like to schedule a co-adorer for each time slot. That way if an adorer goes on vacation or is ill, we won’t need to worry about finding a replacement. Please contact Judy Norman (774-627-4138) to sign up.

A Morning Prayer written by St Therese Lisieux -
O my God! I offer Thee all my actions of this day for the intentions and for the glory of the Sacred
Heart of Jesus. I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart, my every thought, my simplest works, by uniting them to Its infinite merits; and I wish to make reparation for my sins by casting them into the furnace of Its Merciful Love.
O my God! I ask of Thee for myself and for those whom I hold dear, the grace to fulfill perfectly Thy Holy Will, to accept for
love of Thee the joys and sorrows of this passing life, so that we may one day be united together in heaven for all Eternity.
Amen.
