As we head into a new week, let's take a look at the news from this past week. Since Westport Community Schools Superintendent and longtime town resident Thomas Aubin announced his impending June retirement plans back in March, the search for a new district leader has resulted in two finalists.

The grand-looking Saint Anthony of Padua Church on Acushnet Avenue and its prized 1912 Casavant Frères Organ are a part of history. The fact that Saint Anthony of Padua's pipe organ remains functioning is thanks to fundraising efforts that began in the 2000s. The "Music at Saint Anthony's" program is continuing to raise funds for other repairs through concert and recital events.
