Once a year in the spring, some of the best local musicians gather together and perform a special night of music for the Respite Center. The night is put together by two of our staff, Dan Cloutier, who is a singer song-writer and cofounder of Birch Beer Records, and Ricardo Barraza.

Many of the center’s adults practice for months leading up to the Coffeehouse. You would be amazed at the musical talent that is found in each of them as they join fantastic area musicians to sing in front of hundreds of people.

Mary McQueeny, one of the Center's Directors, said, "The coffeehouse is an inspirational experience. The entire night is filled with laughter and great talent. The Respite Center is blessed to be given such an incredible gift from so many talented musicians." This year, the Coffeehouse will be on June 10th, at the First Congregational Church in Hopkinton, MA. The church is located at 146 East Main St. The night starts at 7:00 and tickets are $10.00 per person, or $20.00 per family. If you love music, then this event is for you.
