Counters are Still Needed To Help Us Count the Sunday Collections!

The Finance Council is looking for volunteer adults to count the collection on Sundays. We are hoping for 8 two person teams. Each week the counting team rotates so once we are fully staffed, you would be asked to count about once every 2 months. The counting starts around 10:30 AM and is usually finished by 12:30 PM.

If you are interested in volunteering, please call the Rectory at 978-352-2024. We will need a completed CORI form and approval from the Finance Council & Pastor.

2016 - 2017 CORI

All church volunteers 17 years old and above are required to fill out a new CORI every year. As always, please know that the information provided by you is kept safe and secure in our rectory office.

CORI Forms will be available in the rectory office. Please stop in Monday - Friday, 9am to 1pm and bring your picture ID to complete the paperwork. The weekend of Aug. 27 - 28 will be designated for CORI sign up after all Masses.

We sincerely value your ministry and appreciate your ongoing support as we work with the Commonwealth

to remain compliant.

Confirmation taking place on Saturday, Sept. 17 at 10:30 a.m. Please feel free to drop off your donation at any time.
