The towns were recently awarded a joint grant with Framingham-based Advocates Inc. to hire a clinical social worker to assist with cases involving people in mental health crises. The initial grant is valued at about $300,000 and is for three years, according to the Franklin town website. Renewals are possible afterward.

2018 Friends of the Poor Walk successfully funds St Mary's St. Vincent de Paul
St. Mary’s St. Vincent de Paul would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone who was involved in the 2018 SVdP Friends of the Poor Walk. This year we were thrilled to see more than 110 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 field hockey team participate along with several of St. Mary’s confirmation students. The increase in participants and donations helped the SVdP to meet our fundraising goal!
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 Garelick Farms and The 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.”

"A Franklin woman has been charged after a stabbing incident Thursday morning at her home on North Park Street.
Michelle Mangion, 45, faces charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon; and assault and battery on an intimate partner, according to police. She was arraigned Thursday afternoon in Wrentham District Court.
Police say the victim called them at 7:59 a.m. from Mangion’s home at 56 North Park St. When officers arrived, the victim was outside the home, bleeding heavily from the arm.
As an officer approached the victim, the victim allegedly said, “She stabbed me.” In the report the officer also stated that one eye appeared to be bloodshot with bruising. EMTs were called to treat the wound,"

"It appears that the monthslong hard work of four high school students to get the town to prohibit food establishments from dispensing prepared food in Styrofoam containers is paying off.
Selectmen voted unanimously last week to recommend adoption of each of the town’s Oct. 22 warrant articles, including the citizen petition article that seeks to prohibit local food establishments that require a permit to operate from dispensing prepared foods in disposable food service containers made from Styrofoam.
The Board of Health last week notified selectmen that it had taken a unanimous vote in support of the warrant during its meeting on Sept. 26."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)
