While the Fishtown Horribles Parade Committee was ecstatic over the Governor’s recent announcement that parades may happen, we unfortunately are unable to get a parade out with such short notice. We have also missed out on a whole year worth of planning and fundraising. Therefore after the year we’ve had, the committee would hate to disappoint the city with a rushed parade put on with limited funds raised. Our plan is to continue fundraising to next year, and plan a parade to remember in 2022! Currently accepting all donations via Fishtown Horribles Parade Po Box 924, Gloucester, MA 01930.We appreciate your understanding! We can’t wait to see you on the parade route next summer!

Following guidance from the CDC and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Annisquam Village Church will be reopening for worship beginning Sunday, June 6, 2021 at 10 a.m. for all vaccinated people.  The church will begin by limiting capacity to 100 people. Protocols will continue to be assessed, as needed. Worship services can also be accessed via Zoom.  For details see annisquamvillagechurch.org 

The church pastor, Rev. Sue Koehler-Arsenault, states, “We have seen incredible growth in the number of people attending our services since the pandemic began.  Being able to offer our worship services and other programs on Zoom has enabled us to connect with people not only on Cape Ann, but across the country. Hybrid worship will allow us to continue to be connected to members who are in nursing homes, hospitals, and do not live on Cape Ann.”

Koehler-Arsenault notes that the church’s new audio-visual system was made possible by a gift from Kari Gale in honor of her husband, Jud, who died in November 2020. “Jud loved the Zoom services. They meant so much to him, especially in his last months of life. This gift will enable others to benefit as he did from the Sunday worship services,” notes Gale.

We are relieved that our Pat Dalpiaz may survive her tick attack.

It’s going to be a long road ahead but thankfully after receiving expert care, it’s looking like she’s gonna pull through.

A new twist on an old tradition. Join The Open Door to mark the 20th Anniversary of this beloved community event. Empty Bowl TO GO is by appointment only with a drive-thru experience at The Open Door in Gloucester.

For each ticket you reserve, you will receive:

1. A beautiful bowl made with love, randomly selected and prepackaged for you.
2. Homemade soup—chowder, chicken, vegan or gluten-free—ready to reheat.
3. Bread, cookie and a bottle of water to round out your meal.

The bowl goes home as a reminder that somewhere, someone’s bowl is empty.
