The Diocese of Worcester welcomes all to participate in a worldwide appeal by Pope Francis to spend “24 Hours With The Lord” by visiting one of four designated churches for Adoration and the Sacrament of Confession. It will begin after morning Mass on Friday, March 9 and conclude with morning Mass on Saturday, March 10 at the following locations: Christ the King, 1052 Pleasant St, Worcester; Holy Spirit Church at Annunciation Parish, 50 Lovewell St., Gardner; St. Joseph Church, 10 H Putnam Road Ext., Charlton; and St. Roch, 332 Main St., (Rt. 12) Oxford. Priests will be available for Confession throughout the 24 hour period. This is being held in conjunction with The annual Come Home to God’s Mercy Lenten program whereby parishes are open for confession on Tuesday or another evening as appropriate for that parish.
