FAMILY MASS Our next Family Mass is June 17th at 9:00am For our Family Masses we seek teens and youth to help by serving as lectors for the readings, bringing up the gifts, and assisting with the offering collection.

COR UNUM MEAL CENTER ** Announcement ** We have not signed up to serve at Cor Unum Meal Center for the upcoming winter and spring months. We haven't been receiving sufficient interest for our monthly trips, and as a result we cancelled our last couple visits. This created difficulty for Cor Unum Meal Center, who depends on volunteers to keep their commitments after they've sign up. Therefore, until we receive more consistent interest from the teens and families in the Reading community, we won't be continuing our youth ministry trips to Cor Unum. If you have a committed group of teens and adults that would like to serve at Cor Unum Meal Center on a specific date, feel free to contact Brad and he can sign up the group to attend on a case by case basis.

Attention ... All Religious Ed Families registration is NOW open for the 2018-2019 school year ! If you need a form please call the office at 781-944-0330. In addition: Forms and payments can be made on our website at www.stathanasiusreading.org once there ,you can download the form, copy and paste it to word to fill it in and email back to [email protected]

“Meet the Bishop” May 24, 2018 7:00pm

Pastor ………………………………. Reverend Darin V. Colarusso [email protected]

Most Reverend Mark O’Connell, Regional Bishop for the North Region of the Archdiocese of Boston will be conducting a specially designed meeting at St. Agnes’ Parish Center

Parochial Vicar………………………..Reverend Patrick Armano [email protected] Permanent Deacon………………………….Deacon Neil Sumner [email protected] Permanent Deacon…………..….………… Deacon Matt Baltier [email protected]

Please note that the St. Agnes/St. Athanasius Collaborative is not the purpose of the Bishop’s meeting. Rather, Bishop Mark would like to get a feel for the “heartbeat” of today’s Catholics by offering the opportunity for a dialog with fallen away Catholics, confused Catholics, and other Catholics who would like to be a part of this conversation. It will be a simple question and answer format, allowing for the Bishop to hear and respond to questions on the minds of those at Church in an open, accepting atmosphere.
