Help for Blessed John Paul II Food Pantry
SOUTHBRIDGE – Blessed John Paul II Parish has a successful food pantry that is well supported by parishioners. A recent food drive brought in hundreds of bags of groceries for the pantry. Bill Mason, a food pantry volunteer, reports that Father Peter Joyce estimated they had around 600 bags as of the 10 am Mass, with two more Masses to go.
“Just a great outpouring show of faith to help the hungry of our community,” Mr. Mason said.Webster Summer Comedy
Thirty three youths from the Webster Youth Group put on the summer family comedy play “Help! I’m Trapped in a High School!” on Aug. 10 and 12 at the Immaculate Conception Spiritual Renewal Center in Putnam, Conn. The actors worked hard all summer long and their practicing rewarded the crowds with two fantastic shows. The Webster Youth Group is comprised of youths in grades 3-12 from St Louis Church, Sacred Heart Church and St Joseph Basilica in Webster. ( More photos in Photo Galleries)

Easter Flashmob
On Easter Sunday at the 10a.m. Mass, the Youth and Children's Ministries and their adult leaders, at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Linwood
had a flash mob during Father Larry Esposito's homily. Of course it was done with his permission. It was done as a celebration of the Resurrection of Christ. The group danced to a song called "Rise Up: Dance Your Shoes Off." It was choreographed by Emily Brochu who was a senior at Blackstone Valley Technical High School. The youngest participant was 5 and the oldest is a grandmother. We had a total of 29 people involved. We practiced for many hours. People reacted with confusion to wonder to joy. The kids kept the secret well, many people did not know it was coming.
