Parish News and Events

The Choir of All Saints Worcester, and the Rev. Mike Dangelo joined us to create another memorable Candlemas. Listen to some of the musical highlights, and read a transcript of Fr. Dangelo's homily.

"...the painting depicts, in late medieval sensibilities the Angel Gabriel kneeling before the Blessed Virgin. In his hand an olive branch and faintly in the golden paint the words in a direct line from Gabriel's mouth 'Ave Maria gratia plena dominvs tecvm:' Hail, Mary full of grace the Lord is with you. And Mary, somewhere between fear and incredulity is turned away from the angel, caught in an eternal wince."

Save the date!

The Rev'd Donald Miller died peacefully the morning of 15 October 2014. A long-time priest associate of the parish, Fr. Miller was a tireless and devoted minister of the gospel, who took great satisfaction during his retirement in assisting the Ashmont clergy by visiting parishioners in their homes.

The All Saints' Choir of Men & Boys will sing four evening services during the autumn of its 2014 choral season. Three of these services will be at sister churches in Cambridge and Worcester. The choir will also sing a service of Nine Lessons and Carols at Ashmont, the weekend of the Fourth Sunday in Advent, 21 December, at 4 p.m.

Again this year, our boys of the choir traveled with their chaperones to beautiful Essex, New York, on the western edge of Lake Champlain, for a week-long choir camp, hosted by our good friends of St. John's Episcopal Church.
