Why are there multiple calendars?

There is a Cultural events calendar upon which other community events are layered to create the Community calendar.

Respectfully, the Library and Senior Center calendars are too full of events to include all their events so we tend to focus on the major events. Town and School meetings are also kept separate. Links for all the calendars are shared here:

Fallen Hero Recognition: Anthony J. Mucciarone, Jr., World War II - July 30, 2024 at 9 AM

Memorial event today (7/30/24) at 9 AM on the Town Common Veterans Walkway to honor Anthony J. Mucciarone, Jr., World War II. 

This program will include the placing of a Memorial Wreath for the day, the playing of Taps, a salute from those present, and a reading of whatever history  may be available for that veteran.  This is a way of keeping the memory of that veteran alive.

Fallen Hero: Staff Sergeant Anthony J. Mucciarone, Jr., U.S. Army

Staff Sergeant Anthony J. Mucciarone, Jr., U.S. Army, was born on July 28, 1924 son of Anthony, Sr. and Vera Mucciarone. Anthony lived at 31 Cleveland Avenue with his parents, two brothers and one sister. Anthony attended the Franklin Public Schools ,was a member of the Franklin High School class of 1942 but left high school at the end of his junior year. Anthony entered the army on April 23, 1943.  

Staff Sgt Anthony J. Mucciarone, Jr. rose in rank from buck private to staff sergeant in two months and was awarded a citation for personal and group heroism for his combat participation with the invasion forces in Normandy, commencing on June 6, 1944. He was a member of the 29th Infantry Division which captured St. Lo after almost continuous combat since its landing in Normandy on D-Day. Staff Sgt Anthony J. Mucciarone, Jr. was also a member of the 116th regiment of the 29th which successfully attacked a heavily fortified and strongly defended beach in the vicinity of Vievill-sur-Mer. The Corps Commander cited the 29th’s repeated “personal and group heroism and its unflagging devotion to duty which overcame discomfiture, fatigue and determined resistance of a resourceful enemy.”  

Staff Sgt Anthony J. Mucciarone, Jr. died in combat in France on July 30, 1944 at age 20 years. Anthony rests eternally in the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, France.

First Universalist Society in Franklin – August Summer Services

First Universalist Society in Franklin (FUSF) is pleased to announce our Summer Sunday Worship Series for August 4, 2024 through August 25, 2024.  Please join us each Sunday as we explore the Unitarian Universalist (UU) values of Equity, Transformation, Generosity, Interdependence, Justice, Pluralism and Love.  All services start at 10:00 AM. Afterwards, we invite you to stay for cookies and conversation. 

The First Universalist Society in Franklin is a Unitarian Universalist Welcoming Congregation located at 262 Chestnut Street, Franklin MA. For further information about FUSF please explore our website at fusf.org or contact our Interim Minister, the Reverend Beverly Waring at 508- 528- 5348 or minister@fusf.org.  

August 4, 2024:  Embracing Differences and Commonalities 

The Unitarian Universalist Value of Pluralism encourages us to “embrace our differences and commonalities with Love, curiosity, and respect.” Bobbi Gerlits, one of FUSF’s lay leaders, has been reflecting on this value for the past few months. Her journey toward a better understanding of pluralism has been shaped by the Sunday before Thanksgiving, three libraries, Henry David Thoreau, rules, Norman Rockwell, and a housewarming gift. Come and hear how each of these played a role in Bobbi’s journey these past few months. 

August 11, 2024:  Winds of Change 

Change can be a whirlwind.  Some see transformation as an exciting new chapter in life and accept it freely like a breath of fresh air.  Others may find change frightening and difficult to embrace.  In considering the range of emotions we all experience on this topic, where would you place yourself when you reflect on transformations you’ve made throughout life?  How many times have you freely chosen change and how many times has personal change been driven by life’s circumstances?  Please join FUSF Lay Leader, Deb Prudhomme in the exploration, reflection, and embrace of the winds of change. 

August 18, 2024:  An Expression of Love 

FUSF Lay leaders, Stirling and Brian Cousins, believe our shared UU Value of Transformation calls on each of us to collectively transform ourselves and to grow spiritually and ethically. In this sermon they will explore how the personal choices we all make enable us to undergo ethical transformation related to our relationship with the interdependent web of life (Value of Interdependence).  They will further discuss how transformation applied to the ethics of our personal choices is a full expression of Love.

August 25, 2024:  Minister Rev. Bev 

FUSF Interim Minister, the Rev. Beverly Waring (Rev. Bev.) is back in the pulpit and looks forward to seeing you.
