PLANS for 2007...
The Auxiliary plans to meet
every month on the last Sunday to attend Mass (11:30 a.m.) at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross (South End, Boston)
followed by mingling at lunch/brunch .

This will give us the opportunity to
unite as a group,
introduce new members,
discuss ministry work,
socialize, and plan.

Tim and I look forward to working closely with our members and to strengthen our local Boston ministries in the years to come.

Fondly,
Susan Strachan,
Auxiliary Co-Chair
