August 9 at The Marist Retreat House in Framingham. This year's feature speaker will be Tony Melendez, a most unusual
musician performer who played guitar for Pope John Paul II back in 1987, which would not be unusual except Tony was born

SPECIAL THANKS

Special thanks to everyone involved in making our Confirmation such a wonderful celebration of our faith.

There are so many people to thank, from our liturgy director, Colleen Campion, to our dedicated teachers, to those who made our
church and altar so beautiful. We thank Bishop Dooher for his special presence, as well as Fr. Culloty, Fr. Emerson and Deacon
Frank Tremblay.

Parish Nurse News

Exercise Program

For the past three months we have been very fortunate to have Teri Sealey, R.N. teaching our weekly Exercise Program. Teri
offered her time and expertise here as part of her community nursing practicum for the program she was enrolled in at
Emmanuel College. At each class, in addition to leading the exercise program, Teri presented a different health- related topic and
distributed literature to the participants to enhance their knowledge of the particular health topic. Many people have enjoyed the
program! At this time, Teri has completed her program. We wish her well and are most grateful for her contributions to our
parish! Thank-you Teri!

Beginning this week, the Exercise Class will be taught by Eileen Smith. The class will continue to be held Wednesday mornings
in the church hall, from 9:45- 10:45am. No pre-registration is needed.

Alzheimer's Caregiver Support Group

The Alzheimer's Caregiver Support Group is open to people caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's Disease or a related
dementia. By sharing information and supporting each other, many caregivers feel empowered and less burdened by their
caregiving responsibilities. Meetings are held in Ruocco Room 6. Meetings this month are scheduled for:

May 13th from 10:00- 11:30 am

May 27th from 7:00- 8:30 pm

New members are welcome!
