HUDSON – Siblings came from as far as Pennsylvania and Virginia to walk in memory of Kathy Wolfe in the Boston Heart Walk last month.
“Wolfe Pack” raised over $3,000 for the fund. Kathy’s parents, Doug and Fran Wolfe of Hudson, walked on the same day and time in the Sudbury cemetery.
Hudson resident Kathy Wolfe passed away in 2017 due to heart problems. The family has walked annually. Siblings walking were: Greg McMullin, his wife, Janet and daughter, Erin Rose, from Poquoson, Va.; Doug Wolfe of Mayfield, Pa.; Betty Mazzone of Bedford; Ginny Hamilton of Northborough; Kristine Wolfe of Marlborough; Amanda Dry and her daughter, Addyson of North Andover.
New crown for statue
The statue of Our Lady in St. Michael’s lower church, Manning Street now bears a beautiful, hand-crafted stained glass crown, made by the late Anna Guarino, longtime parishioner.
The crown was presented by her son, Michael Guarino, in memory of his mother, who passed away in February 2022 at the age of 104. He said that his mother designed and created the stained glass crown.
Our Lady’s Sodality, of which Mrs. Guarino was a longtime member, conducted the ceremony in September. Also among those attending was Tammy Johnson of Hudson, goddaughter of Mrs. Guarino.
The crown on the six foot tall statue was installed by Antonio Gonsalves, parish custodian.
