THE THREE DAY WEEKEND IN NORTHWESTERN RHODE ISLAND

This Friday (August 15) is a holyday of obligation, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  I am happy to announce that I will be your organist for both the 7:45 AM Mass at St. Eugene's and the 7:00 PM Mass at St. Joseph's (Pascoag).  The music will be the same for both churches (except maybe at Communion) as both use the Breaking Bread hymnal.
