Memorial Day Yard Sale and Vendor Market

MARK YOUR CALENDAR The last day to bring your treasures for our yard sale is Wednesday, May 22nd. You may continue to bring items between the hours of 8:30 am-5:00 pm. Please REMEMBER we are not accepting TV’s, electronics, computers, encyclopedia sets or dictionar-ies, VHS tapes, clothing, luggage and large furniture pieces. These items will not be accepted as there is a cost to dis-pose of them.

There is a real need for volunteers to sort and arrange the items that are being donated . PLEASE consider stopping by the church hall and donating an hour or two of your time to help organize the treasures that are being donated. Many hands make light work!

Additionally, we are looking for donations of un-scratched lottery tickets, monetary donations and Bas-kets to raffle. There are boxes at the church doors in which your tickets and cash can be placed. These boxes are moni-tored on a daily basis. Donations may also be brought to the office.

Will you help out at this event by giving 2 hours of your time? Sign up to help on the clip boards at the doors of the church or call the Parish Office, 508-885-3111.

Last year’s yard sale was a huge success and with your help we can make the 2019 Yard Sale an even bigger success. Thank you to all who have lent a hand so far!

Let’s keep the momentum going!

A message from Fr. Bill… It is time to apply for the Frank and Kathryn Bartimo Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is based on stu-dent involvement in the parish, at least two scholarships will be awarded in the amount of $300.00 each.

A new scholarship is being awarded this year, The Pat Corson Scholarship that is based on need. This scholar-ship is intended for graduating seniors who will be further-ing their education at a college or university, or in the trades or some other form of education. The scholarship is intended for those who may not have access to other scholarships. While church involvement is not a require-ment it will be part of the decision criteria. Two scholar-ships of $1,000.00 each will be awarded.

Applications will be available at the doors to the church next week and will be due by June 15, 2019
