ANS president JoAnn Menzia organized and delivered essential items to veterans living in Crescent House, a transitional residence program that provides a variety of services to help individuals struggling with addiction. During the months of November and December St. Casimir's parishioners donated hats, socks, shirts, sweatpants and sweatshirts, as well as toiletries.

Emma  from St. Casimir’s parish in Lowell, Massachusetts recently won a  national competition in Irish Step dancing. She was awarded first place  in the Under 15 category. The competition was held in Dallas, Texas  where dancers came from all over the United States to compete.

Emma is a freshman at Lowell High School and has been dancing since she was three years old.
Her parish family is very proud of her.

 Parishioner  Robert Ferus recently started a new hobby, cycling with his E-trike.  Seventy-seven year old Bob is retired from the former Xerox Corporation,  and a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. After recent life changing medical  procedures and a 50-pound weight loss, Bob decided it was time to start  riding and become more active. So, in September he purchased an  Addmotor trike, a three-wheel trike equipped with an electric motor that  provides propulsion during the cycling. The trike is a terrific way to  enjoy the outdoors without pain and discomfort to joints and muscles.

Since  then there is no stopping Bob. He has already put on over 350 miles on  his trike, taking tours on busy roads in and around the  Lowell/Dracut/Tyngsboro area. With his battery fully charged, Bob can  ride for two hours and attain speeds of up to 20 MPH.

As any avid  cyclist will tell you, upgrades and accessories are a must. His  Bluetooth helmet allows him to connect to his phone to listen to music  or take calls while cycling, improved brake and signal lights and  rear-view mirrors provide a higher level of safety, and a GPS system  gives him access to new routes.

Bob enjoys his trike immensely.  He can adjust the level of physical activity during the ride and can  cycle distances that are too far to walk while still enjoying the mild  weather. Now that the pleasant weather has gone by, more rides must wait  until springtime since his E-trike has been put away for the winter. 

St.  Casimir's is proud to once again honor the men and women who have  served out country with our Veteran's Day Tribute. In keeping with our  tradition, we identify each veteran with an honor card depicting their  name, military branch, and special recognition (blue star, purple heart,  POW, MIA, or gold star.) These cards are placed on the altar rails,  side altars, and window sills. Thanks to JoAnn Menzia and Tom McNiff for  setting up this wonderful display.
