Next Sunday, April 5th is Palm Sunday. St. Francis and St. Peter’s churches will be open from 8 am until 12 noon so you can get your Palms and spend some time in prayer if you wish to do so. The palms will be blessed at the Saturday vigil Mass that will be live streamed. Let’s make sure that there’s never more than 10 people at once and that the proper distance is observed. This will be the only day that the Churches will be open during Holy Week. All of the Holy Week Liturgies will be posted on our Facebook page (North Quabbin Catholic Community). Please, join us as we continue to be a community that celebrates the mysteries of Our Lord’s passion, death and resurrection, more so now!

Don't forget that during this time of crisis your parish relies on your financial support more than ever, so we can continue our mission as Church. The Diocese has created a way of online giving where parishioners can make their donations at NO COST TO THE PARISH. Please see here: https://worcesterdiocese.org/parish-offertory-program and simply selecting your parish. You can also mail your envelopes or any other donations at 192 School Street, Athol, MA 01331. Thanks for your continued support.
