Pastor's Note

A Warm Welcome To All

My Dear Friend in Christ,

Welcome to the Together in Christ Collaborative. In serving both St. John (East Bridgewater) and St. Ann (West Bridgewater), I have the privilege of ministering to a diverse community of people. While it can be a challenge to serve two faith communities, I always try to remember the words my mother would say in creating a home for five children: “I love you all the same…I just love you differently”. It is in that spirit that I welcome you to our “spiritual home”. It is the differences in our community, united in a common love of Christ, that bring a strength and vitality to our Collaborative. May you find that love here.

Please know that you are most welcome here, and that if there is anything which we can do to make your spiritual life more fulfilling please do not hesitate to reach out and contact us. In the meantime, take a look at our website, get acquainted with the services which we seek to provide you in your spiritual need, and know that (in the words of St. Francis of Assisi) I wish you

Pax et Bonum (“Peace and All Good),



Fr. Paul Ring, OFS
