Wellspring Food Drive SOCIAL JUSTICE

Wellspring is a vital community resource. Begun as a thrift shop,

Wellspring has expanded as needs have been identified and today

offers more than 30 programs to assist people in overcoming ob-

stacles and improving lives. Wellspring now encompasses all the

property between S and T streets along Nantasket Ave. This newly

expanded and renovated property is the life saver for so many, not

just in Hull but for the south shore. With the addition of classroom

space on the S St. side of the building the Adult Learning Program

accommodates more students and provides expanded services

such as childcare and guidance counseling to support the needs of

the young adults in the program. The remaining space has been

redesigned to appropriately house counselors, expand the thrift

store that now includes larger items such as furniture, and an up-

dated food pantry that provides more than 120,000 meals each

year to neighbors in need. Many people in the community donate

many hours volunteering in myriad ways to ensure those who need

the most get the most.

This month we will be supporting the efforts of the Food Pantry.

Please bring your donations to the church and help feed the hungry

in Hull. Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, won’t you show yours

by giving to someone who has less?

Judy’s Garden at Wellspring supplies fresh produce to the Food Pantry (now called Aunt Dot’s Kitchen). Named for the won-derful Judy Belknap, this garden is a testa-ment to Judy’s com-mitment to thinking of others first. Interns from Holly Hill Farms helped with harvest-ing the garden.

Wellspring Multi-Service Center: Offering a hand up, not a handout to those in need.

SPIRITUAL ENRICHMENT: Tues., Nov. 15th at 6:30 PM, “Cultivating Happiness,” with John Sheff. Does happi-

ness just happen? Scientific research suggests otherwise, that 40% of our happiness is within our control.

This lecture will focus on changes in our thinking and behavior that can cultivate happiness. Suggested do-

nation: $20. No registration required.

LISTENING TO OTHER VOICES: Nov. 17th at 7:15 PM, Listening to Other Voices, Michael Hunter Ochs & Alaa

Alshaham, “The Pursuit of Harmony.” History and culture might peg a Jewish American and a Muslim Pales-

tinian as enemies. But when Michael Hunter Ochs and Alaa Alshaham met in the West Bank in 2009 they

discovered friendship. Join them for an intimate evening of music and conversation. As they like to put it:

“Hear the story, hear the songs and feel the hope.” No registration required. Seating is on a first-come, first-seated basis. Parking is also limited.

WEEKEND RETREAT: Nov. 18-20th, “Exploring Success and Failure in our Lives,” Katherine Burbank, MA, Obl. OSB. This retreat is prompted by a

small but thoughtful book by Maria Boulding, OSB, “Gateway to Hope: an Exploration of Failure.” Suggested donation $190 includes 2 nights’ ac-

commodation and meals. Registration required.*

HOLIDAY ART FAIR: Sat., Nov. 19th, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This is the second year for this event at the Abbey. It will feature well-known, local

artists, fine art and crafts. Admission is free and all are welcome! Choose from paintings, sculptures, hand-carved birds, gourd art, pottery, pho-

tography, jewelry and hand knits. Just in time for the Holidays, you are sure to find a special gift for those on your gift list.

For further info or to register contact Joan: 781-749-2155, x.300 or email retreats@glastonburyabbey.org or visit our website

Advent Wreath Making Sunday, November 27th, 1:00-3:00pm

Advent is a wonderful season of preparation, but unlike the com-mercial aspects of pre-Christmas, Advent calls us to quiet ex-pectant waiting. It is a season of hope. Our children love rituals… teach them this age-old ritual of lighting a candle on the Advent wreath each Sunday for the four weeks of Advent. Come with

your family, make your own wreath while enjoying hot chocolate and cookies, and listening to carols. Please let us know if you plan on attending as we must order supplies ahead of time. (The cost is $25, payable on the day of the event.) Sign-ups will be occurring after all the weekend masses up to Sunday, November 19th.

Book Fair Weekend of

November 19th & 20th

The Daughters of St. Paul from Boston will be here at our

parish after all the Masses on the weekend of Nov.19th &

20th. These Media Sisters will bring a wonderful selection

of materials which they publish and produce. Be sure to

stop by and peruse their display: Spiritual reading, Lives of

the Saints, books for Children, DVD’s, music and more!

These wonderful items will assist you with the ongo-

ing faith formation of your family and provide good Spir-

itual reading as we conclude this Jubilee Year of Mer-

cy. Choose something to enrich your faith or for gift giv-

ing! Additionally you can check out their web-

site: www.pauline.org.
