The 2021 Diocesan Appeal for the College of Our Lady of the Elms — our Catholic college of Western Massachusetts — will be made throughout the Diocese at all Masses on January 2nd and 3rd. Elms College educates young women and men to be reflective, principled, and creative learners in the tradition of the Sisters of St. Joseph. This appeal will support the scholarships the Elms provides to students to make this faith-based education more affordable. The need for your support is great. We urge you to take part in this effort, and there is an envelope in your packet for this purpose. We also encourage you to check with your employer to see if they offer a matching gift opportunity. For more information about how you can support Elms College, visit their website, www.elms.edu/give , or call 413-265-2213.
