Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I hope you are all well and staying healthy during this pandemic. I wanted you to know that during the suspension of Public Masses our parish website does have the Mass and other devotions to be watched by you and your family. The parish website is: www.stmarysdedham.com . Furthermore, Mass is live streamed from the St. Joseph Chapel on the parish Facebook page daily at 12:10 p.m.; Saturday evening at 4:00 p.m.; and Sunday at 7:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. & 5:00 p.m. The link is https://www.facebook.com/St-Mary-of-the-Assumption-103272197984676

Our Life Teen CORE have put together small teaching video clips that you may want to view and even share with other family members; especially, any middle school or high school teens at home. Each week I will send you a short clip that you may find helpful and informative. The link for this week is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmuzjPUh9eY&t=19s

Also, during these days, there are those who try to prey on the good nature of others. If you receive any email or Facebook request for money, or phone call for money or gift cards from me or any member of St. Mary’s Parish staff ~ DO NOT RESPOND! I would never solicit you for money. If you receive a message, which you deem suspect, claiming to be from the staff or me, simply please call the parish office to verify before you do anything. Please spread that message to others.

This Monday, March 30th, I am calling for a parish-wide day of prayer and fasting for the spiritual well-being of our parish family.

Please know of my prayers for your families. If there is anything I can do please (and I mean please) reach out to me via email or phone. I hold you all close in my heart.

Fr. Wayne
