Feehan’s Santa Shop Serves 225 Local Families [PHOTO GALLERY]

About 2,400 gifts collected for families.

The cafeteria of Bishop Feehan High School was transformed into a wonderland of toys from the smallest infant to the teen boys and girls. The toys were piled high and covering every last spot of table and often floor space waiting to be chosen to head home to some good boys and girls. The toys arrived by a human toy train that was formed after the last lunch period as the students linked the basement of both buildings to transport and organize all the toys. Approximately 600 students show up to help Tuesday afternoon. Their jobs were divided up into guides, babysitters, wrappers and clerks. With two guides per shopper they became personal shopping assistants to carry packages and assist each shopper.

Bishop Feehan came back from three goals down to tie the Bombardiers in the season opener for both teams.

The Bishop Feehan High School hockey team stormed back from three goals down to tie their crosstown rivals, the Attleboro High Bombardiers, 4-4 in a feisty, hard hitting, and often scrappy game, at Aleixo Arena Wednesday. Senior captain Nick Carvalho scored with only 5:09 left on the clock to earn both teams a point in their opening games of the season. Shamrocks coach Phil Hulbig was disappointed with how the team fell behind, but satisfied with the team’s fight to get back into the game. “Power play wasn’t getting the job done early and we had some opportunities and then Attleboro comes down the ice and, you know, they make you pay for those little mistakes," Hulbig said.

Village in Guyana receives now donned in Bishop Feehan High School shirts to play soccer.

Bishop Feehan High School soccer coach Mike Pariseau found an alternative way to put Feehan’s outdated soccer uniforms to good use–he found a way to pass them on to players in South America. The coach contacted an organization which collects and distributes new and used soccer balls, shoes, socks and uniforms to underprivileged villages throughout the world. "When we got the donation of all new uniforms last year, I was left with 40 to 50 of the old ones in really great shape and I felt aweful about throwing them out," Pariseau said. "So I did a little research online and found PeacePassers." Peace Passers serves as a platform for people to donate new or used soccer equipment so that it can be put back into play, according to Peace Passers…
