News & Events

Literacy Program: Parishioners and friends of the Transfiguration are once again being asked to donate new or gently used children’s books. This year the children of the Murkland School in Lowell will be the recipients of the books and book bags. Collection is ongoing. Book collection bins are located in the upper and lower lobby of the church. The books and bags will be distributed to the children next spring. Last year, more than 1,200 books were collected and donated to the children of the Washington School in Lowell.


Nursing Home/Shut In Visitations: Our "Visiting Angels" continue to visit our nursing home and shut in parishioners. If you know of anyone who could use a visit or would like to volunteer, please contact Christine Faneros or the church office.


House of Hope: For many years, Philoptochos has provided volunteers to serve dinner to the moms and children on the four Thursday of the month. If you’re your family, and/or friends are interested in volunteering, please contact coordinator Iris Malliaros (978-452-1363 or Iris-Malliaros@uml.edu) for available dates and details.
