miGens and scarves. There are receptacles in the lobby of the

Parish Center and in the St. Anne Church basement for do-

weight or “dry clean only” items. Your generosity helps

people in the local area who would otherwise have been

without a warm winter coat. Thank you!

ton Street, Southbridge will be open every Saturday morning

from 9:00 - 11:00 am, beginning October 20 through Decem-

more information.

The Sacrament will be administered on Sunday, October

7th, at 3:00 PM in St. Anne Church.
