The Wild Goose Bible Study, Discovering a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit featuring Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR.

Along with the study we will have Praise and Worship Music Ministry to bring us further into prayerfulness; when we sing his praises, we are praying twice! The Wild Goose is a term that the ancient Celts had for the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has been given to us to lead us to the heart of God. This study will take place on the second Monday of each month from 6:30 – 8:00pm in our Parish Center. You will have an opportunity for fellowship and light refreshments.

This is a wonderful opportunity for older adults with any mobility or sensory limitations to discover how they might function more easily and independently at home.

Southwick Early Voting Early voting will begin on October 22th and continue through November 2th, 2018. Prior to the enactment of this new law, the only way a registered voter was allowed to vote prior to Election Day was through absentee voting. Although absentee voting will still be available for registered voters who qualify, only those who will be absent from their city or town on Election Day, or have a disability that prevents them from going to the polls, or have a religious belief preventing the same, are legally allowed to vote by absentee ballot. Unlike absentee voting, early voting is for every registered voter. Registered voters do not need an excuse or reason to vote early. Regardless of whether a voter wants to take advantage of early voting, vote absentee or vote on Election Day, the first step is making sure you are registered. To check to see if you are registered to vote, and to find information on how to register to vote, you may visit the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s website: www.sec.state.ma.us/ele. If you need to register to vote, you may do it online by visiting: www.RegisterToVoteMA. com. All you need is a license or an I.D. issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles to apply online. To be eligible to vote in the November 6th State Election, you must register to vote or make any necessary changes to your voter registration by October 17th, 2018. Early voting can be done in person or by mail. In Southwick, early voting can be done in person at Southwick Town Hall, 454 College Highway during the following dates and times: Wednesday October 24-7:00am – 8:00pm Wednesday October 31- 8:00am – 5:00pm Thursday October 25- 8:00am- 6:00pm Thursday November 1- 7:00am- 8:00pm Friday October 26- 8:30am – 4:30pm Friday November 2- 8:00am – 5:00pm Also, registered voters have the option to request an early voting ballot through the mail. Simply fill out an application and mail it to Southwick Town Clerk, 454 College Highway, Southwick, MA 01077. You can find the application on the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s website: http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele. Please note, however, once a voter has cast an early voting ballot, the voter may no longer vote at the polls on Election Day.

Hyper • Local

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth home delivery still only... coverage of smaller markets anymore.
