The Friends of the Cross Meeting
Apostolate of the Suffering
First Saturday Meditations at Mary Farm
The Apostolate of the Suffering is offering you an opportunity to come together on the first Saturday of each month, for meditation on the mysteries of the Holy Rosary. Our Lady of Fatima asks us all to console her Immaculate Heart due to the vast ingratitude, blasphemies and offenses against her by making reparations to her on the First Saturday of each month. This includes: Going to Confession and receiving Holy Communion, praying five decades of the Rosary, and in addition, meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary. We gather together at Mary Farm to complete this last part of this devotion to Our Lady: to meditate the Holy Rosary mysteries.
Our meditations and reflections are based on the visions and revelations from Our Lady to Venerable Sr. Mary of Agreda as she recorded them in her book, Mystical City of God. We complete our meditations by praying the Stations of the Cross. All are invited; you need not be a member of the Apostolate to offer up about an hour of your time to console the Immaculate Heart of Mary by contemplating the Holy Rosary mysteries.
Please join us at Mary Farm on the following First Saturdays of the month for the Rosary Meditation as requested by Our Lady of Fatima.
- October 7th
- November 4th
- December 2nd
We meet at the Hall (rain or shine) at 10am. All are welcome to come and pray thus consoling the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Please call Stasia Bronner with questions: 413-324-6708
Mary Farm is located at 1915 Ware Street, (Rt32) Palmer, MA

OFFICE OF THE DIACONATE
DIOCESE OF SPRINGFIELD - OFFICE OF THE DIACONATE
“Out of love, place yourselves at one another’s service” (Gal. 5:13)
The Office of the Diaconate has begun to recruit men throughout the Diocese who share a love for God and their fellow man and are men who would be comfortable serving in the sanctuary. In this endeavor we are asking for your help. If you have a few men in your parish who you think would be excellent in serving in the sanctuary and supporting the many tasks and challenges facing your parish in the upcoming years, please ask them to consider the process of discernment for the Diaconate.
For your information, the Diaconate Formation Board is starting the recruitment process for our next Diaconate class, the Class of 2029, and we need your help.
Do you know:
- Men who would make good servant leaders?
- Men who may already be active within the parish as a lector or extraordinary minister of the Eucharist?
- Men who may already be involved in service to the homebound, the needy, as well visiting hospitals and nursing facilities?
- Men who may have a calling to become more involved in doing what we have been called to do from Baptism; serve Jesus by serving his people?
If you know of men who may fit this mold, please reach out to them and encourage them to consider following their call to serve others.
If you, or any potential candidates, have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to contact The Diaconate office at 413-452-0674 or [email protected]
