If you are in need... don’t be afraid to reach out! We have our St. Vincent de Paul society at Holy Family that assists those in the East Taunton community struggling to make ends meet. They can be reached at the main parish number, but then choose extension 3 to leave a voicemail and one of our Vincentians will return your call.

Please email [email protected] with any announcements at least one week in advance of the publication date.

Don’t forget to update your contact information if you’ve moved. We don’t do many bulk mailings, but when we do, we get a number of envelopes returned due to relocations. Please help us keep our records up to date and just drop Tracey an email or give her a call to let her know of any changes. Thank you so much!

through the Eyes of Women

We pray that you’ll consider joining us as we walk with Jesus through Holy Week. Thanks, and God Bless

Father Matt is sponsoring a pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi, Italy late July early August 2025. There will be flyers at the church entrances with some of the information. If you are at all interested please reach out to Father Matt, or Therese in the office so we can begin to build a contact list. We will hold an informational meeting in the coming weeks, so we can begin planning and thinking of fundraising ideas. We hope that you will consider joining this amazing opportunity. The year 2025 is a Jubilee Year and doors will be opened that are not normally opened at other times which offers a special glimpse at the beauty of our Catholic Church. This trip is open to all ages. See pdf document below.

Lectio Divina Bible Study Tuesdays @ 7:00 PM Holy Family Parish Center 

Lent is almost here, are you looking to deepen your faith? Maybe you’re hoping to hear God speak to you through the Holy Scriptures? Or maybe you’ve always wanted to read the Bible but felt intimidated because you thought you might not understand. If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Lectio Divina might be just what you need. This ancient practice was developed in the 6th Century by Saint Benedict of Nursia, and it might even be older than that, dating back to the 3rd century. It’s a way of understanding and applying the Scriptures that many Saints, Popes, Bishops, Priests, Deacons, and regular folks like us use. Some people think it’s too complicated, but it’s actually really simple. It’s just a four-step process that will open the Scriptures to you with the power of the Holy Spirit. You’ll receive divine inspiration that you can apply to your daily life and grow your faith. Join us for an enjoyable evening of studying the Sunday Scripture readings. You don’t need to be a Bible expert or have read it extensively to participate. The Scriptures consistently offer guidance, regardless of your current faith journey. First Meeting: Tuesday, February 4, 2025 @ 7:00 PM Email: [email protected]

As a reminder, we ask that our adorers first attempt to find coverage for themselves if they can’t make it by using the book in the chapel to request a substitute, posting on our FB page, or utilizing the substitute adorer list. You can also ask a family member or friend to cover. Your help makes it easier for our volunteers to keep everything running smoothly! We understand that emergencies come up and we are happy to offer assistance if necessary. As always, thank you for your commitment to our chapel! We couldn’t have this gift of Adoration without your dedication! We would like to schedule a co-adorer for each time slot. That way if an adorer goes on vacation or is ill, we won’t need to worry about finding a replacement. Please contact Judy Norman (774-627-4138) to sign up.
