Now that the weather seems to have turned a bit warmer, we will be holding Tuesday playgroups outdoors at nearby parks. To print a written schedule of our summer playgroup locations, please click here. To see a map of our summer park schedule, please click here.

This Tuesday, August 6th, we will meet at Spy Pond Playground (40 Pond Ln., Arlington). This park has a gravel path and is also near the bike path, if you are inclined to ride to the park. Bring a picnic lunch and join us - we start at 10:30 am. We hope to see you there!


**NOTE THAT our outdoor summer schedule is highly dependent on good weather. If the weather seems questionable, please check your email or the blog page before you leave for playgroup. In case of rain, our usual rain location will be at Fidelity House, 25 Medford St., Arlington. Thanks!**

Teachers for Religious Education Needed
Our parish religious education program will start again in September. Teachers for Grades 1,3,4,5 and 6 are needed. Do you feel called to teach our faith and a love for the Lord? Please consider this opportunity to deepen your own understanding of the Catholic faith and to share it with others. Training supplies and materials provided. Consider co-teaching with a spouse, relative or a friend.

We are also seeking monitors for special events. This would involve about five Sundays throughout the year from 9:45 until 10:05 am. Kindly call 781-646-5579 for more information about these opportunities for service in our community.
