Birthright of Lowell

During "Respect Life Month" (October), St. Irene's collects baby items for a baby shower for Birthright of Lowell. Donations of new or gently used baby clothing, toys, and supplies are welcome at any time.  

For more information, please contact Birthright@stirenes.org.

Caring Friends

"Caring Friends" offers friendship and extends help to members of our parish. Meals are delivered, cards are sent, and visits to shut-ins are made. Our calling is to try and make a difference by reaching out and caring. 

If you would like to be involved or know someone who could use a helping hand, please contact Fr. Donohoe or send E-mail to Caring Friends.

Christmas Gifts for Needy Children

Each family in St. Irene's parish is invited to donate a Christmas gift for a needy person. Gifts for children are donated at the conclusion of the Christmas Pageant (or after Masses on December 15th and 16th, 2001) to be given to a Christmas party for needy children in the Lawrence area. If you prefer, there is a 'Giving Tree' in the main entrance with gift cards for specific needs. You may select one or more cards with a person's name and gift request. For more information, send E-mail to ChristmasGifts@StIrenes.org

Christmas Gifts for Prisoners

Each year St. Irene's has participated in a program that provides simple gifts for prisoners at MCI Concord. Usually the gifts (consisting of basic needs such as stationery, stamps, warm socks, etc.) are sent in a decorated shoebox. A recommended list is printed in a fall bulletin.

Please contact St. Irene's for more information.
