Outreach for January 2021
Outreach is asking parishioners to make casseroles for SHIP during the month of January. Any and all types of casseroles are welcome but those that contain protein are greatly needed.
In addition, SHIP is requesting pop top cans of meats, particularly sardines, Vienna sausages, beef hash or any other type of canned meat you find. They receive many cans of tuna but not other meats. They must be the pop top type of cans. If you can drop your donations at the SHIP office (87 E High St. Somerville) please tell them you are from St. Martin’s. They close their office at 2:00 p.m. If you would like your donation picked up and delivered to SHIP please call Marlene.
Feast of the Epiphany Service
Fr. Rob will be celebrating Mass (virtually on zoom) for the Feast of the Epiphany on Wednesday, January 6 , 2021 at 7 pm.
It will be a short half hour or so liturgy, but a way for us to honor this important holy day. Check back later for a link to the leaflet.
Food Bank Network Collection
The Outreach Committee will be holding a collection for the Food Bank Network on Sunday, December 13, 2020.
We will be in the church parking lot from noon until 2:00. This collection is focusing on personal care products. The Food Bank is receiving more and more requests for items such as toothpaste, deodorant, etc. and they run out of these items quickly. A more detailed list will be provided next week.
Advent Wreath Pick-up and Saying Goodbye to Fr. Tim
On Saturday November 28, 2020 at 2 p.m., Fr. Tim will be on the church steps giving out Advent Wreaths with some helpers.
You can park in the parking lot and come pick up your wreath, and at that time, give thanks to Fr. Tim. Please remember your masks and to social distance. We ask that you try to get there as near to 2pm as you can.
