Activities Committee
We are a "fun" group of parishioners gathering to organize activities and events that bring the Parish Community together.
- We do parish-wide activities, such as Family Pasta Dinner night and hosting Veteran's reception
- We do spiritual activities such as during season of Lent we host Soup and Stations
- We do social activities outside of church such as trips to New York or Castle Island, attending movies and plays

Outreach:
Bristol Lodge's Soup Kitchen
One of Our Lady's outreach ministries is preparing a meal for Bristol Lodge's Soup Kitchen on the first Tuesday of every other month (Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct and Dec). We prepare the meals to feed some that are in need of a hot meal. The soup kitchen is located here in Waltham.
If you have volunteered with us in the past please reach out to Sue if you can not make the meeting and give her your availability.
Community Day Center
Through the generosity of parish members, were were able to assemble 50 hygiene bags for individuals who use the Community Day Center here in Waltham. In addition, we donated much-needed supplies to support their ongoing work. The Community Day Center provides daytime shelter and essential support services for people experiencing homelessness in our community.
Thank you so much for your generosity and support of this meaningful project.
