I just wanted to contact the church.  I am a former resident of Lexington; I made both my First Communion and Confirmation there.  I was terribly distressed to learn of the church's closing.  I have not lived in Lexington since 1987, when my mother Jacqueline Neal, a longtime communicant at Sacred Heart, passed away.  My grandparents John and Lauretta Casey were communicants as well.  I remember Father Colletti as a young priest (I don't know if he'd remember me), and have fond memories of the late Father McCabe.  He was a wonderful person.  I hope and pray that the Archbishop O'Malley perhaps has a change of heart.  I have lived in Bridgewater, Massachusetts for many years and attend St. Thomas Aquinas Church which was itself in danger of closing, but is not.  Sacred Heart Church will always be part of my hometown for me. 

Sincerely,
