Bishop McManus has asked all parishes to take up a second collection during the weekend of September 9th & 10th at all Masses, for the recovery efforts that are taking place in Texas and parts of the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.

We will assist the efforts of Catholic Charities and the many parishes in the affected area. The Bishop also said that there will be an initial offering of $10,000. by the Diocese of Worcester to “give thanks for the Partners in Charity Appeal having surpassed its goal.”
