Library Card Sign-Up - Canceled

The Fall River Public Library was originally scheduled to come to Holy Name on Tuesday, March 5 for library card sign-ups. The school was notified that the library recently changed the process for signing up for a card, and in-person sign-ups are no longer required. Instead, you may fill out the Fall River Public Library Card Sign-Up form and return it to the school. We will then submit it to the library so that your child can receive a library card. We hope you will consider signing up so that your child can participate in the bookmobile when it visits Holy Name.

Baptismal Preparation Program

Baptism is the sacrament which marks the beginning of the Christian life. For any children in grade 7 or younger who have not yet been baptized and would like to be, we are offering a preparation program on Sunday, March 10 at 3:00 p.m. at Holy Name School. This class is intended for the children preparing to be baptized as well as their parents and godparents. To learn more or register your child to prepare for and receive the Sacrament of Baptism, please contact Dorothy Mahoney-Pacheco via phone at (401) 556-9729 or via email.
