Holy Family St. Lawrence & St. Pius X parishioners of all ages will gather on Saturday, May 7th for “Serve Our Neighbor Day,” a parish-wide community service event.  This event will happen rain or shine. We’ll meet briefly at SPX Hall to pray together and reflect on Christ’s call to serve our brothers and sisters in need. Then, “we’re out the door” to our local volunteer assignments for ~2 ½ hours, re-convening at 12:30 p.m. for a brief reflection time.  Refreshments and childcare (for age 5 and under) will be provided.

You can participate by volunteering on May 7th. To do so, register by filling out the online at either website. You will receive a call the week before the event to confirm your attendance. Registration deadline for volunteering is Sunday, May 1stl !

You can also help us identify elderly, ill, grieving and/or disabled residents (they don’t have to be parishioners) who need help (cannot help themselves!) raking leaves, organizing garages, doing odd jobs around the house, etc. for 2-3 hours. Project Requests can be made on line or by contacting John McMahon (878-5331, ext. 202/ john.mcmahon@essexcatholic.org). Be mindful that we may not be able to take on all of the requested projects we receive and, in such cases, we will prioritize by need. Registration deadline for submitting a project is Sunday, April 24th.
