On behalf of the Saint John Vianney Council 16243 I
would like to thank the parishioners of Saint Mary’s
Church for your support for the 40 Cans For Lent Food
for Families Program. The food donations totaled
nearly $4,000.00. Staff members at the Council of
Social Concern told me many times how much your
contributions mattered at a time after when their
inventories were very low.

That online givers at St. Mary’s Parish span
all demographics. Snowbirds who spend 2-3
winter months in the South like to be able to
participate in the Offertory and support their
parish even while they are away.
That check writing continues to decline by
double digit percentage points. It’s a trend so
pronounced that the Federal Reserve has
closed 44 of its 46 check processing facilities since 2003.
That you can try out Online Giving without creating an account by
selecting the “Quick Give” option.
In this Year of Mercy, Pope Francis has created new
norms for the processing of annulments. If you, or
someone close to you, longs to be reconciled with this
issue, a workshop presented by the Metropolitan
Tribunal explaining this process and answering your
questions, will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday,
April 13, 2016 at St. Barbara Parish, Woburn.
