Holy Name and Pioneer Valley Project
A SPECIAL REQUEST FROM SISTER MELINDA …..
“I Need A Few Good Women and Men to Join Me!”
Wednesday, June 5th at the Social Center from 6:30-7:30p.m.
The Pioneer Valley Project will hold its annual Issues Assembly on June 25th. Prior to the Issues Assembly, we should meet to discuss what we believe should be our priorities and issue(s) that Holy Name will support as members of PVP. The question this year is “Where do we see need/poverty in our neighborhoods?” In the past Holy Name Parish has supported PVP in the following areas: Library Hours, Support of our Public Schools, Immigration, the Casino and its funding, Human Trafficking, lack of employment in Western Massachusetts and Drug Courts. Will you join me to share your thoughts and opinions on Wednesday, June 5th, 6:30-7:30p.m. at the Social Center? Thank you very much.
