Mass behind the Foundation House

Please join us in person or on the internet.

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.

As we enter June, there is growing unrest in our society and open violence in our streets.  The death of an unarmed man has sparked an outrage throughout our country.  Our cities are hotbeds of demonstrations, open looting and hostility against our leaders that challenge racist attitudes and behaviors and call for long overdue change.  Let us turn to our Lord in this month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and ask that his mercy flow like a river from his wounded side and pour across our country to touch the hearts of our people and bring us peace.
