The portrait of Fr. James Degnan reminds us of the pastor who built our parish hall, which has become a community space enjoyed by all of us in Hopkinton and beyond. Thanks to his initiative, the parish rummage sale has expanded from a small garage sale on Price St. to the “Biggest and Best Rummage Sale” in the MetroWest.
A volunteer snaps a late-night shot in front of the library as she returns home for a well-deserved rest before tomorrow’s continuation.
The rummage sale is closed on Sunday, but the church is open. The altar is red for Pentecost, and new banners of the Sacred Heart adorn the walls outside the sanctuary.
