PARISH ASSEMBLY
Invitation for All Parishioners from Bishop Lewandowski
Bishop Lewandowski has called for every parish throughout the Diocese of Providence to hold an assembly this fall. Assemblies give clergy and parishioners an opportunity to gather for prayer and guided discussion to set pastoral priorities. They are not intended to change the liturgy, dogmas, or doctrines of the Church. Rather, the purpose of the assembly is to:
Listen together for how the Holy Spirit is calling us to live the Church’s mission more faithfully in our time and place
Identify pastoral needs
Discern next steps for ministry, evangelization, and renewal
Strengthen shared responsibility for the mission of our parishes and our diocese
Our parish assembly will be held Thursday, October 1 at 6:30 pm in the OLM School Cafeteria. The Bishop hopes parishioners will come and provide thoughtful input.
To help us plan a smooth, successful assembly, you must register to attend. To register:
RSVP to the invitation in our weekly Flocknote
Or simply use the QR Code or Link below
We must receive all registrations by September 28.

Missionary Cooperative Weekend with Piarist Fathers
On the weekend of August 8 and 9, OLM will host its Annual Mission Cooperative Collection, and a member of the Piarist Fathers will preach at all Masses about their Missionary Work. The Piarist Fathers are a Catholic religious order founded by Saint Joseph Calasanz in 1617 in Rome. Also known as the Order of the Pious Schools, they are the oldest religious order specifically dedicated to providing free education to children, especially the poor and disadvantaged. Please be prepared to support the second collection next weekend, which is for the Piarist Fathers. There is no envelope designated for it, and checks should be made payable to OLM. All monies collected are forwarded to the Piarist Fathers.
Brother Anselm, Brother Clement, and Brother Roland.
We offer our thanks and gratitude to Brother Anselm Kelly, OP, Brother Clement Greenspan, OP, and Brother Roland Wakefield, OP for their Godward Program, “Why Catholicism Still Matters.” It was an outstanding four-week series of informative talks, discussion, and fellowship. We thank the many parishioners who joined us on Monday nights and those who were so generous to the Friars. The Friars traversed the state for four weeks preaching at nine parishes, including OLM. Please pray for them as they continue their formation at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC. To learn more about the Godward Program, go online to godwardpreaching.com
