Buses to Bishop's Thanksgiving Dinner

Bishop McManus and Catholic Charities Worcester County want people to know that they do not need to be alone on Thanksgiving Day. Those who are able to get out can attend the Bishop’s Holiday Dinner by taking a provided bus from Worcester area housing complexes to join with other guests and volunteers at the sit-down dinner held in the lower level of St. Paul Cathedral at noon on Thanksgiving Day.
Catholic Charities is providing two busses to pick up and return guests that day from Lincoln Village, Booth Apartments, Seabury Heights, Green Hill Towers, Belmont Apartments, Green Island NOC, Greenwood Gardens, Canterbury Towers, Elm Park Towers, Pleasant Towers, Murray Avenue Apartments, Marble Apartments, and Webster Square Towers. (See graphic for bus stops and times on page 7.)
Catholic Charities also announced today that they are still accepting volunteers to deliver and/or serve Thanksgiving dinner to those in need. Whether delivering meals or serving the noontime meal at St. Paul’s, volunteers will have an opportunity to visit with people who would otherwise be alone this Thanksgiving.
For more than 60 years, the Bishop of Worcester has hosted a dinner provided by Catholic Charities to assure a meal and fellowship to homebound elders, people with disabilities, homeless individuals, and those who would otherwise be alone on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Meal delivery volunteers should register in advance at www.ccworc.org/bishopsdinnervolunteer/.  They can begin arriving at 8 a.m. at St. Peter Central Catholic Elementary School’s entrance at 10 Hammond St. in Worcester to receive the meals and their delivery route. Meals will be picked up drive-through style in the parking lot.
Sit-down dinner volunteers can register at www.ccworc.org/cathedralregistration/ and should arrive at St. Paul’s, on the corner of High and Chatham streets in Worcester, between 11:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m.
