"what action, if any, will be taken by humans and when"

"Rising temperatures, eroding coastlines, fearsome storms and disappearing species.

All of these issues are raising alarm among people concerned about the specter of climate change.

“It’s not too late, but we’re not talking the distant future. We’re talking right now,” said Richard Halpern, chairman of the Franklin Democratic Town Committee’s events subcommittee.

Halpern is the force behind planning for an upcoming discussion on the subject the organization is sponsoring.

“Franklin 2050: The Climate Crisis” is set for 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday at the Elks Lodge, 1077 Pond St."

2019 St. Vincent de Paul Friends of the Poor Walk

St. Mary's St. Vincent de Paul would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone who was involved in the 2019 SVdP Friends of the Poor Walk. This year we were happy to see more than 80 parishioners and community members participate in the walk. It was wonderful to see the Ursuline soccer team and many members of the Franklin High School freshman field hockey team participate along with some of St. Mary's confirmation students.

Thank you!

One hundred percent of the donations stay in Franklin and will go directly to support any of our Franklin neighbors in need.

All of your help and contributions are greatly appreciated. Special thanks to the St. Mary's Knights of Columbus for their support and contributions of drinks and energy snacks.

Thank you again for your generous contributions and for helping us to work on our goal of "Neighbors helping neighbors."

Field Hockey = Franklin, 2 vs. Walpole, 6 – Final

Amanda Lewandowski opened the scoring just over a minute into the game on a feed from Kaitlyn Carney. After Walpole tied it up in the 18th minute, Franklin jumped back ahead when Olivia Rondeau scored on a feed from Kate O’Rourke in the 21st minute. Walpole scored a minute later to make it 2-2 at half. Neilee Hess made four saves for Franklin.

** Football = Mansfield, 39 @ Franklin, 9 – Final
1st Quarter: (F) Parker Cheuvront 24-yard field goal.
2nd Quarter: (M) Michael DeBolt 41-yard field goal; (M) Nick Marciano 35-yard rush, M. DeBolt XP good; (M) Safety; (M) Jack Mousette 13-yard pass to Cincere Gill, M. DeBolt XP good.

4th Quarter: (M) Ethan Thevenot 65-yard rush.

Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com provides the football game recap:

An early turnover gave Franklin the ball in Mansfield territory and the Panthers gained a couple of first downs before kicking a field goal to grab the lead. Then the Hornets took control with their defense, not allowing the Panthers another first down until inside five minutes remaining in the third quarter.

Using a three down linemen look, Mansfield consistently got into the backfield without needing to blitz and, with a little assist from Mother Nature, disrupted Franklin’s typically potent passing attack on Friday night at Pisini Stadium. The Hornets scored 26 straight points to take control and rolled to a 39-9 victory that keeps them unbeaten in league play and alone atop the division standings.

“We’ve got a very, very good defense,” said Mansfield coach Mike Redding. “They’re as athletic a team as we’re going to play but fortunately we’re pretty loaded in the secondary, but it’s a combination of us playing great ‘D’ and terrible weather conditions for them.
