Last year with your financial support, the St. Joseph Council of Knights purchased and gave away 144 coats in their annual Coats for Kids Campaign.  Each case of 12 coats costs $238, roughly $20 a coat.  Can you help out again this year?  Please make your check payable to “Knights of Columbus Council 11379.”  The memo line should read: Coats for Kids. Envelopes may be mailed to Knights of Columbus, P.O. Box 373, Charlton, MA 01507.

It costs $2,500 to send a family to camp. Your returnable cans and bottles add up. Please consider donating your bottles and cans to support a family at Camp Sunshine. Contact Deacon Bill if needed.

St. Vincent Cancer and Wellness Center, 1 Eaton Place, Worcester. The first Thursday of the month begins with Mass at 11:30am followed by faith sharing. Validated parking is available. For more information call 508-363-6246

If you are interested in having your name on a "leaf" on the Memorial Tree located in the Narthex, be in touch with Dick Vaughn at 774-230-2163 or [email protected]. An offering of $2,500 is required but if you have given that amount or more to our Capital Campaign (2010-2015) and you are not currently on the tree, you will be automatically added.

Parents of college students or military personnel… get your child’s mailing address to us so they can receive St. Joseph’s goodie packages throughout the year.
