Holy Family Parish is a welcoming and
vibrant Catholic faith community in the Town of Concord. We are a people united in our shared faith. We invite you to come and be a part of our life as we journey in
God and toward God. All will receive a warm welcome here.

GETTING SETTLED IN PLACE Over the past couple of months, in addition to becoming familiar with the people and operations of the Concord-Carlisle Parish Collaborative, Father Frank Silva and Father Bill Robinson have been busy establishing their living residence at St. Irene's Rectory in Carlisle. Both of them are most happy with the comfort the residence provides -especially following those days when they have made a trip or two between Concord and Carlisle and beyond! While they find most things pretty much in place at this point, they see an upgrade is needed to several appliances in the rectory that are rather old and are not that energy efficient. In particular, attention needs to be given to the clothes washer and dryer and dish washer. If you are able to assist with a donation for these items, please contact the parish office. Any check donations should be made out to either Holy Family or St. Irene Parish. Thanks!

Do you have 1-2 hours a month to bring Communion to a parishioner who can no longer get to Mass? This very rewarding Ministry does not require much time, you will be completely trained and the joy and satisfaction we bring to the Homebound is unmatched. Communion and
some conversation is a blessing to those we visit. If you are interested and would like to

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Wednesday evening, 5:45– 7:00 PM.
“Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Are you tired from the burden of your duties, the frustrations of daily life, or being misunderstood or taken for granted? Are you heavy-laden with guilt from past sins you feel are unfor-givable ? Are you trying to find hope and meaning in in a tu-multuous world? Do not lose heart! Come spend an hour in the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Come spend 5 minutes or 90 minutes in Eucharistic Adoration at the church every Wednesday 5:45 PM — 7:00 PM. Abandon yourself to Him in His "Sacrament of Love", and let Him take all your bur-dens. He, in turn, will give you His peace.
Will you offer 90 minutes to serve the Lord? Eucharistic Adoration Committee is seeking volunteers to be trained and commissioned to facilitate Adoration at our Church on Wednesday evenings from 5:45 PM- 7:00 PM. Commitment is once a month to serve our Lord and our Parish at Eucharistic Adoration. If your response is “Yes,” please contact Barbara at 978-430-4962 or [email protected].
