The joy that music & singing bring to
our worship
Sharon, MA
Our Lady of Sorrows Parish
The only reason for Jesus to mix clay with the spittle and smear it on the eyes of the blind man was to
remind you that he who restored the man to health
by anointing his eyes with clay is the very one who
fashioned the first human out of clay, and that this
clay that is our flesh, can receive the eternal life
through the sacrament of baptism.

Sacrament of Reconciliation
On all the Wednesdays of Lent from 6:30
-8:00 p.m., Our Lady of Sorrows Parish
and all the parishes and chapels of the
Archdiocese of Boston will be open for individual confession. The Archdiocese has set up a website, www.thelightisonforyou.org, to help you prepare. It
has videos on the Sacrament of Reconciliation, sheets on
how to make a good confession, answers to frequentlyasked questions and more. Please make plans to come on
Lenten Wednesdays and spread the word of this special
outreach of mercy to those you know.
We will have a communal Reconciliation service on Monday, March 31, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. for our Confirmation I
and II students and their families. All are welcome to join
in this communal Reconciliation service. It does not require remembering the formulas for individual confessions
but still provides an opportunity for individual confessions.

Our Lady of Sorrows Middle
Schoolers Need Your Help
Making a Difference Through
the Works of Mercy!
Our Middle School parishioners have
spent this past year studying the corporal works of mercy and developing
projects to make a difference. They
are asking for your involvement in
these ways:
Our Lady of Sorrows Youth Ministry Helps

Events:
Ongoing Collections:

Gently Used Toy and Book Drive: This group is hoping to
put smiles on homeless children’s faces as they encounter
the pain and difficulties of homelessness. Please place
your donations in the box at the back of the church and in
O’Connell Hall. Donations will go to MainSpring House.
Feed the Hungry
Movie Night: One of our Middle School groups has
planned a movie night. Join us on April 4 to watch
“Frozen.” Check the parish calendar for the exact time.
All are invited and be sure to bring your own snacks. Admission will be one non-perishable food item for each
movie goer. See you there!
Clothe the Naked
Clothing and Shoe Drive: This group is collecting gently
worn clothing and shoes to help people in need. They have
collection boxes located in the back of the church and in
O’Connell Hall. They will be accepting donations until
April 7. They thank you for your participation.
Given that it’s a time in our church year with a lot of
events and involvement, we appreciate the support that
you can give us. Be sure to read next week’s bulletin to
know how you can be involved in the rest of the Works
of Mercy.

Virtus - Protecting God’s
Children Training April 16.
At Our Lady of Sorrows Parish, we
are grateful to the many adults
who volunteer at the parish in so
many different ways. Our parish
wouldn't be what it is today if it
weren't for the commitment and support of so many
wonderful adult volunteers. All volunteers in the U.S.
Catholic Church are required to complete a CORI form
and participate in a one-time training course entitled,
"Protecting God's Children". Once an adult participates
in this training program, he/she will be able to chaperone a church event for young people under the age of
18 and/or participate in one of the parish's many service
projects where children or young people are present.
The training is scheduled for April 16, 7 to 9 p.m. at
O’Connell Hall. All adults in the parish who have not
already participated in this course are invited to attend.
To register, please contact Fabiola Aguilera at faguilera@comcast.net or 781-806-5542.

Memories of Fr. Scott Needed
We are collecting pictures and stories of
Fr. Scott for a slideshow. Please send your
pictures to faguilera@comcast.net or drop
them off at the Rectory.
Easter Baskets Needed
Homeless Shelter
for
Receiving God’s Gifts gratefully; Nurturing God’s Gifts
responsibly; Sharing God’s Gifts in love and justice;
Returning God’s Gifts generously.
Collection – March 23
The average cost to run the parish is $10,500 per week and
our expectation is that 69% ($7,250) will come from the
weekly offertory. On March 23, the parishioners contributed $7,709.
Looking for a fun service project to
do with your family?
The Christian Services Commission is looking for your
help again this year with the Easter Basket Project. We
are in need of people willing to make Easter baskets for
the children living at Evelyn House, a homeless shelter in
Stoughton. If you would like to help, please choose an
Easter egg from the tree in the alcove, the weekend of
March 29-30, and put together an Easter basket appropriate for the age and sex indicated on the egg. Some suggestions for the baskets would be candy, a toy, socks, a
book, a coloring book, or art supplies. Please leave the
baskets under the tree in the alcove by April 13, at the latest, so that we may get them over to Evelyn House before
Easter. If you have any questions, please call Mary Ann
LaHive 784-1394 or email at malahive@verizon.net.
Thank you!!
