Two men separated by 100 years are united in their search for
freedom. In 1856 a slave, Samuel Woodward, and his family escape from the Monroe Plantation near
Richmond, Virginia. A secret network of ordinary people known as the Underground Railroad guide
the family on their journey north to Canada. They are relentlessly pursued by the notorious slave
hunter Plimpton. Hunted like a dog and haunted by the unthinkable suffering he and his forbears have
endured, Samuel is forced to decide between revenge or freedom. 100 earlier in 1748, John Newton, the
captain of a slave trader, sails from Africa with a cargo of slaves bound for America. On board is
Samuel’s great grandfather, whose survival is tied to the fate of Captain Newton. The voyage changes
Newton’s life forever and he creates a legacy that will inspire Samuel and the lives of millions for

WELCOME to
St. Joseph Parish, we are glad you are here. If you are new to the Parish please
contact Sr. Agnes at 508-248-7862
to register.
We are so grateful for your support of this Ministry of
Service and Charity. To date we have received
$62,070.00 in pledges and gifts from 177 people. Our goal this year is $77,500.00.
Please consider making a gift if you have not already done so. Pledges can be
made over a 10 month period. We are just $15,000.00 shy of our goal. We are direct recipients of your charity in that our summer seminarian intern is able to assume
his ministry because of the support he receives in his education and spiritual formation funded by Partners
in Charity. Again, many thanks and God Bless You.
PRAYER BEFORE MASS: O God, who
in the abasement of your Son have raised
up a fallen world, fill your faithful with
holy joy, for on those you have rescued
from slavery to sin you bestow eternal
gladness. Through our
Lord Jesus Christ, your
Son, who lives and reigns
with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one God, for
ever and ever. –AMEN Lifeteen is providing 120
Meals for the Mustard Seed in
