Re-opening information after COVID.
As of May 29th the restrictions for the COVID-19 emergency have been lifted in Massachusetts and the Diocese of Worcester. Those who are fully vaccinated do not need to attend with masks while those who are unvaccinated are asked to wear masks if seated less than six feet from other pilgrims. Access to Audrey's room will be restricted in June for medical reasons. Hopefully in July pilgrims can start visiting her room again. Thank you for your patience and support.
If you are not comfortable participating in social groups and public Mass, please join us for Mass and Adoration by live stream on this page or Facebook
The gift shop will be available for people to visit.Please tell others to join us on the internet.
Even with the continued distribution of the vaaccine, our medical care system and its personnel are under continued stress. As we struggle to return to some sense of normal and social activity, let us be vigilant to protect those who are still not vaccinated or who choose not to do so, that we might diminish the incidence of illness in our midst. We look to Saint Joseph in this Holy Year to his honor for his prayers and protection to the Church and our families.

The 76th anniversary of the first use of a nuclear weapon in warfare. The USA drops the bomb over the large city of Hiroshima in Japan. Before take off, 'Little Boy' is blessed by Fr. George Zabelka, the Catholic chaplain to the flight crew of the Enola Gay. After counseling a reconnaissance pilot who described the destruction he witnessed in the aftermath of the bombing, Fr. Zabelka spent the remainder of his priestly ministry as a peace advocate in penance for that action that brought the world to a nuclear age. This link will take you to his story.Read More -

Monday, August 9
At 11:03 am local time, the second atomic bomb named 'Fat Boy' is dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. It is four times more powerful than the one detonated over Hiroshima three days earlier. Nagasaki was the third choice to be bombed. When weather conditions prevent the second target from being visualized, the crew of Bockscar flew to Nagasaki. Among the ruins is the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception on Santo Street, known as the Urakami Cathedral. Here is a link to the details of the destruction of what was once the largest Catholic Church in the Pacific. It is estimated on the day of the bombing there were 12,000 Catholics in the parish living in the neighborhood and that 8,500 did not survive the bombing.Read More -
