Sandwich Ministry
Over the summer IC participated in a Sandwich ministry along with other churches in the City of Marlborough for people in need and we have seen the need to continue this ministry. The premise is simple: on Saturday’s volunteers prepare 25 sandwiches with ham or chicken or bologna (selection or just 1 type) with small packets of mayo and mustard aside - in a zip lock bag - 25 bottles of water; - in a separate zip lock bag a snack (cookie, brownie) and a fruit (apple). The food needs to be delivered to Greg who is the volunteer leading this ministry, to the parking lot of First Church at NOON where he will be there to pick them up. He should have a mask and gloves on. You don't have to linger or help him serve - that is his ministry. He will have a table set up with the food = just deliver it to him at noon - he hands them out at 12:30pm on the Marlborough Common.
If you are interested in helping with this ministry, please call the parish office 508-485-0016. Thank you!

Cenacle Time Change
Effective Monday, September 14th, the Cenacle Holy Hour of Prayer will move to 6:00pm in the lower church - St. Mary's Chapel. We look forward to welcoming you at this new time.
Bible Study
Begins September 12th to mid-April. The treasured New Testament letters of St. Paul to the ROMANS & EPHESIANS will boost our faith and add to our love for His Church. Through at-home questions, we then have group discussions on the Scripture and Catechism covered for that week. Beginners are always welcomed !! And it's such fun to get to know your Catholic neighbors. Our meetings will be held virtually. Contact Chris Snyder at here or call her at 508-303-3717.
