Members of New England College’s Women’s Lacrosse Team were involved in a local community service project in Henniker on Feb. 1. They worked under Marlene Freyler to do prep work and to serve almost 200 volunteers and their spouses from St. Theresa and St. Mary parishes. The event was the annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. A number of staff and parish volunteers also set up and assisted at this event, which recognizes the many and varied ways local residents from the Contoocook River Valley are engaged in and through the church to build community and to reach out to their neighbors. Father Marcel Martel and parish volunteers posed with the young women who brought their energy and enthusiasm to this annual event.
