Buses 43, 55, 191, 192, 193, or 277 will also bring you right to the steps of the chapel.

CAR
Taking the subway/bus is highly encouraged, but for those of you driving into Boston, Parking is limited i.e. meter parking and there is also a nearby parking garage. The entrance into the Boston Commons Garage is on Charles Street. For more detail on the rates, please visit:http://www.mccahome.com/bcg_rat.html. I believe the weekend rate is $11, which is pretty decent for Boston.

11.19 Annual Thanksgiving Potluck Dinner

Leave your work at home and join us for a Thanksgiving Potluck Dinner as we celebrate the many blessings we share with many of those who have blessed us!

We will be having the dinner at a function room at Mina Kaddis’ apartment (151 Tremont Street, Boston, MA) on Thursday November 19th (one week before Thanksgiving).

Please come and bring your favorite dish! I know that some of you are very talented in the kitchen and wouldn’t mind sharing a delectable recipe with us. Pick something from the list below and post on the wall what you will bring, or you can call Nancy (248-982-7750) or Maggie (781-367-9224); but more importantly, just remember to bring yourselves!

Mina’s apartment is accessible by public Transportation. Take the Green Line to either Boylston or Park Street. 151 Tremont Street is between both of those stops. For those driving there is a parking lot close by as well as street parking (meters). When you enter the building let them know you are there for St. Mark’s Thanksgiving Dinner.

We hope to see you all there!
