wondering how to use them, or perhaps you are able to share how you have incorporated them into your
life? These are all good reasons to attend the April session of Pasta and Prayer, being held on Thursday,
April 15th from 6:30 – 8:30 PM in the Friary Room. Space is limited and reservations are required so that
we can plan accordingly. Contact Amy Larson at 781-929-1835 by Tuesday, April 13th to reserve your
