Policies during the COVID Emergency
We are obligated to follow the directives of Governor Baker for public assembly in Massachusetts. If you are comfortable participating in social groups and public Mass, please join us for Mass and Adoration. The following will be our policy under the state restrictions:
Everyone who attends must wear a mask, unless they have a health reason not to.
Audrey's room and the chapel will be closed to pilgrims during this time since we cannot enforce a social distancing of six feet. We are working on a video that will be a virtual tour that people can do on our website in the meantime, and actually give more access and a closer look at her personal items and room.
Adoration will follow Mass in the back yard of the Foundation house at 68 S. Flagg Street, Worcester. There is room for 30 people to be seated. After that, pilgrims will need to stand in the driveway and maintain a distance of six feet apart.
Our Mass, adoration and benediction will be live streamed on our Facebook page for those who cannot attend to join us in a spirit of prayer.
Confessions will not be available during this time given the restrictions of social distancing and sanitizing any space used for private confession.
Following Mass, and during Adoration, the Foundation House and gift shop will be available for people to visit, with a limit of six people at a time.
Please tell others to join us on the internet.
The American standard of the peaceful transition of power is now in question; the rising numbers of coronavirus infections following holiday travel is rising radically, and our medical care system and its personnel are under extreme stress. We long for a new beginning that we hope comes with a new year. As we welcome our Savior, remembering his birth at Bethlehem, let us ask him to dwell among us most especially these days of the Christmas season.
Given the limitations with COVID-19 protocols, the chapel is not large enough to welcome people to attend Mass. Each first Saturday through the winter we will live stream our Mass on our Facebook page followed by a half hour of prayer. Please join us.
While Fr. Walter Riley is celebrating Mass on this date in 2010 at the Santo home, the consecrated hosts begins to spontaneously bleed. It does so for several weeks. This host is still used for adoration and benediction with pilgrims who visit the Santo home.
From the end of November of 2018 until February of 2019, the chapel at the Santo home was renovated with new lighting, paint, and new furnishings. On this date in 2019, Bishop Robert McManus celebrated Mass and blessed the chapel.
On December 8, 2020, Pope Francis asked that we honor Saint Joseph in a special way until December 8, 2021. This is in recognition of the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of this great saint as the Patron of the Universal Church. We will honor the patron of the Church and the terror of demons with a special Mass on his feast day. It will be live streamed from Audrey's chapel. Following it, join us for a half hour of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament with Audrey's chaplet and the abbreviated chaplet of the 7 Joys and Sorrows of Saint Joseph. Join us to pray that the Church would recognize the virtue and holiness of Audrey's life that she may be an example and intercessor for the whole Church.
This great feast celebrates the arrival of the Angel Gabriel to Our Lady in Nazareth. Hailing her favor and grace, he brings the good news that the Savior is to be born of her, if she is willing. Her response echoes through history and changes the universe as she surrenders to the Father's will. This new Eve now begets the new Adam who will undo the first one's sin and reconcile us to the Father. Please check back to see how the Foundation will mark this date.
