We love Thursdays ! There aren’t a lot of opportunities for moms and caregivers to meet and socialize with their little ones. While Rocco’s Reading Room is always available for visits, the Purple Couch would like to fill that gap by providing the time and the soft space filled with some toys and board books for little ones to explore, giving moms and caregivers an opportunity to connect.

The People's Food Pantry has been operating out of the North Parish for over 30 years to help local families who are food insecure. With the help of many volunteers, they distribute donated food twice a month. The need continues to increase, and now they serve about 500 individuals at each pantry, providing nutritious foods. Protein-containing foods (canned tuna and beans, peanut butter), as well as cereal, rice, and pasta, are always needed. Please bring your food items to support this important outreach to our neighbors at our next Pop Your Trunk event, 10-12 in our parking lot on Saturday, May 16. Thank you very much!

Join Jen and Moody to hear some stories about big feelings. Jen created My Moody Monster to help people with destructive behavior and mental illness to better cope with their frustrations. When they are better able to cope with their emotions, it is a lot less stressful for their family as well.
Jen is graciously volunteering her time to read to your children and do some activities with each book to help them understand, from an early age, what to do when they feel these big emotions.

A New Tradition Begins with Heart: The First-Ever Harmonies of Hope Music Festival
One Stage. Multiple Communities. One Mission.
Groveland, MA &mdash; On Sunday, May 17th, something truly special will unfold on the North Shore. The first-ever Harmonies of Hope Music Festival will bring together families, music, and community&mdash;but at its core, this day is about something far deeper than entertainment.
It&rsquo;s about connection,It&rsquo;s about healing. 
And most importantly&mdash;it&rsquo;s about hope. &#128153;
Hosted by SadieLadySecrets.com, this inaugural event will take place at the Pines Recreation Center in Groveland from 12:00 PM to 6:30 PM, creating a space where joy and purpose meet to support Home Base &ndash; Veteran &amp; Family Care for Mental Health.
&#128153;
A Day That Comes from the Heart
Behind every song that will be played and every smile shared is a mission rooted in compassion&mdash;for the men and women who have given so much, and for the families who continue to stand beside them. &ldquo;This event is personal,&rdquo; said Stephanie Chiulli-Guillemette, Founder and Executive Director of SadieLadySecrets.com. &ldquo;So many of our veterans carry stories, struggles, and pain that we don&rsquo;t always see. Mental health battles don&rsquo;t end when the uniform comes off. We wanted to create something that reminds them&mdash;and their families&mdash;that they are never alone.&rdquo;
Through Home Base, a program of the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital, veterans and their loved ones receive life-changing support for post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, and the invisible wounds of service.
&ldquo;If even one person feels seen, supported, or hopeful because of this day, then it means everything, also If we can create a reminder that someone cares&mdash;then this event has done its job,&rdquo; Chiulli-Guillemette added. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re doing this.&rdquo;
&#128218;
Inspiring Through Storytelling
The mission behind Harmonies of Hope is deeply connected to the heart of SadieLadySecrets.com, a family-run children&rsquo;s brand built on storytelling, kindness, and community.At the event, families will also be introduced to two powerful new releases: Families will also get to experience new book releases from SadieLadySecrets.com, including &ldquo;Sadie Lady Learns It&rsquo;s OK Not to Be OK&rdquo; and &ldquo;Sadie Lady Honors Our Heroes,&rdquo;
which focus on mental health awareness and honoring those who serve.&ldquo;Our books and our events go hand in hand,&rdquo; Chiulli-Guillemette shared. &ldquo;We believe in starting these conversations early&mdash;with kindness, honesty, and heart. Whether it&rsquo;s mental health or honoring our heroes, these are messages that matter for every generation.&rdquo;


&#127926;
Music That Brings People Together
The festival will feature a full lineup of live entertainment including: 
DJ Fortin, The Visitors, The Chimpz, Diamond Edge, Party On Band, The Foo Family Band, and headliner Andrew McManus Band. Each performance represents more than music&mdash;it&rsquo;s a reminder of the power of coming together.

&#127881;
A Day for Families, Fun &amp; Community
Harmonies of Hope is designed to be a welcoming, family-friendly event filled with activities for all ages: 
&#128717;&#65039; 45+ local vendors 
&#127903;&#65039; Raffles &amp; silent auction memorabilia

Powered by a Community That Cares
This first-year event is made possible by the support of incredible sponsors, including Renewal by Andersen, Ben Franklin Print Co., and many local businesses who believe in the mission of giving back.
&ldquo;This event is proof of what can happen when a community comes together,&rdquo; said Chiulli-Guillemette. &ldquo;Our sponsors, vendors, performers, and families are all part of something bigger&mdash;and that&rsquo;s what makes this so special.&rdquo;
&#127775;
The Beginning of Something Bigger
Harmonies of Hope is not just a one-day event&mdash;it&rsquo;s the start of a tradition rooted in compassion, connection, and community impact.&ldquo;This is just the beginning,&rdquo; Chiulli-Guillemette said. &ldquo;We hope this becomes something people look forward to every year&mdash;not just for the music and fun, but for the meaning behind it. Because when we come together with heart, we create hope.&rdquo;

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
