2021-22 SEASON
Basketball Season has resumed!
Hello,
This Saturday (January 22nd), we will resume the Basketball Program at St. Peter's Parish. We will follow the schedule for Saturday January 22nd. Instructional Division will be at regularly scheduled time 10-11a
The health and wellbeing of all remains a concern and we therefore request that if a child is not feeling well or has had direct contact at any time this week with someone in your household or at their respective school who has tested positive for Covid-19, that they refrain from participating in our basketball program this weekend.
In an effort to control the volume of people in our gym, we are asking that only one parent/adult accompany their son/daughter to the Instructional Program.
Barring any directives from public health officials that the program be halted, it is our intention to continue our program throughout February, though we will be prepared to postpone activities should it be advisable or necessary.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Dear Worcester Interfaith Community,
Please join us for a “Celebratory Gathering in Honor of Isabel Gonzalez-Webster” on Sunday, January 9, 2022 at First Baptist Church, 111 Park Avenue, Worcester from 2:00pm to 4:00pm with a brief presentation and program at 3:00pm.
This gathering will be our opportunity to both thank Isabel for her leadership of Worcester Interfaith and say farewell and Godspeed as she leaves the organization in mid-January to begin serving as Executive Director for Communities United for Police Reform (CPR) in New York City.
In announcing her decision to leave Worcester Interfaith, Isabel wrote that she has “had the pleasure to work with an incredible board of directors, staff, members, coalitions, and community to bring about racial and economic justice and address systemic inequities in the city of Worcester.” Though we will miss her, let us celebrate all that has been accomplished under Isabel’s leadership in just three action-packed years.
Attendees will be required to wear masks and observe all other posted Covid-19 safety protocols in effect the day of the event. Isabel asks that in lieu of gifts members consider making a financial donation to support the ongoing work of Worcester Interfaith.
We hope to see you there!
Celebration Committee
Pastor Nathan Pipho, Father Richard Trainor, Isabella Corazzini, Jane Cutting, Chaplain Martin Kelly, Rabbi Aviva Fellman

Every Sport Needs More High School Officials
Who says high school coaches don’t recruit?
Currently, there is a critical shortage of high school officials in almost every sport in your state. As a well-respected member of the community, you’re uniquely qualified to recruit a colleague, friend or family member to help meet this urgent need.
Here’s our pitch: Officiating is a great way to stay in shape, meet new people, earn a few extra bucks and make a positive difference in the community. More importantly, the participation by one of your friends or colleagues might actually help save a sport.
The journey to helping us recruit new high school officials begins by posting the message below to your Facebook and Twitter accounts. We’ll do the rest.
