Scenes from Last Sunday’s Collaborative Outdoor Mass
We had a record-setting crowd and summer-like weather last Sunday for a beautiful celebration of the Mass and time of fellowship afterwards! Many thanks to everyone who helped make the day possible – parishioners, staff, and clergy.
Deep gratitude to our St. Vincent de Paul Conference who sponsored and served the cookout – we continue prayers that their fundraising efforts are successful this year so they can continue to provide much-needed support to our neighbors. (Donations to the SJSP St. Vincent de Paul Conference may be made online at sjspwellesley.org/svdp)
Our Collaborative Outdoor Mass
Please join us on Sunday, September 28 at 10:30am on the St. Paul Lawn for our annual Collaborative Outdoor Mass and fellowship event! This will be our third time celebrating Mass on the expansive lawn in front of St. Paul Church, recreating what Fr. Jim calls “our own Tanglewood East!”
Our SJSP Society of St. Vincent de Paul chapter is once again sponsoring a cookout after Mass, providing hotdogs, hamburgers, and veggie burgers for all! Please plan to bring a side dish/salad to share if you are able!
So that as many members of our community as possible can join together for this special liturgy and fellowship event, there will be a reduced Mass schedule at the parishes on the weekend of September 27-28…
