Our Lady of the Assumption Celebrates Her Patroness's Feast Day
It was St. Maria Goretti parishioners' turn to prepare and serve everything from pastries to quiche.
Although the actual Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary falls on Aug. 15, the parishioners of Our Lady of the Assumption Church celebrated their feast day with a brunch after the 11 am Mass this past Sunday, Aug. 13.
In a lovely tradition between the two parishes of the Lynnfield Catholic Collaborative, each parish provides a brunch in honor of the other parish's patronal feast day. This time, it was St. Maria Goretti parishioners' turn to prepare and serve everything from pastries to quiche, and doughnuts to casseroles in OLA's Church Hall. Donna Hegan, Pastoral Associate, and her many SMG volunteers made sure table after table was laden with a variety of goodies. It was a beautiful example of felllowship and a nice way to celebrate the final weeks of summer.
