We have celebrated the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ and walked together in Eucharistic Procession, publicly professing our faith in Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.

Jesus is the Living Bread come down from heaven. He not only comes to us in the Eucharist but desires to dwell within us, to nourish us with His life, His grace, and His love.

We are not ashamed of Him. That is why we follow Him in procession through our parish grounds. Our walk behind the Blessed Sacrament is a sign of something deeper: just as we follow Christ today, we desire to follow Him every day of our lives. We want Him to lead us, guide us, and remain at the center of all that we do.
Thank you to everyone who participated actively in this beautiful celebration, helped prepare the altars, cleaned the procession route, and made this day a witness of faith.
“Whoever eats this bread will live forever.” (John 6:58)

“Make way for Him, the Lord comes down from heaven; make way for your King, before Him all powers bend.”

Everything is ready for today’s Eucharistic around our church — even the weather seems prepared to welcome the Lord as He passes among His people.

We are grateful to everyone who helped prepare for this beautiful celebration: those who set up the altars, cleaned the church grounds, decorated the route, and offered their time and effort so that Christ in the Blessed Sacrament may be honored with dignity and love.

May this public witness of faith draw us all closer to truly present in the Holy .

Christ is not confined within the walls of the church. He desires to walk among His people.”
Join us next Sunday for the Solemnity of Corpus Christi as we publicly witness to our faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist.
We will celebrate one bilingual Mass at 10:00 AM, followed by a Eucharistic Procession to four altars. There will be no 9:30 AM English Mass and no 11:00 AM Polish Mass that day.
We especially invite:
✨ First Communion children in their Communion attire
🌹 Girls to scatter flower petals
🔔 Boys to ring bells
🇵🇱 Children and youth in traditional dress
🙏 Parish groups, organizations, scouts, and the Knights of Columbus
helping with carrying the banners, and sound system, preparing the altars before and cleaning up after the procession

The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Church’s life. It has the power to unite us despite our different languages, histories, and backgrounds. Let us come together as one parish family and follow Christ through our neighborhood, giving joyful witness to our faith.

At this time, we also express our gratitude to our Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion who bring Jesus in the Eucharist to the sick, especially on Sundays. We thank in a special way Mrs. Bożena Golemo, who coordinates this ministry, and Mr. Zenon Małkowski for their faithful service.

Two images of the Divine Mercy have now been installed on our church—one facing the highway and the other facing our parking lot.

Their purpose is simple: to remind everyone who passes by that this is a church, a place dedicated to God and open to all. Above all, they point to Jesus Himself, the source of mercy, hope, and peace.

As Jesus told St. Faustina:

“The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy.” (Diary, 723)

In a world filled with anxiety, division, and uncertainty, Christ remains the answer. At His feet, we find forgiveness for our sins, strength for our struggles, comfort in our sorrows, and hope for the future. Every problem may not disappear, but every problem can be brought to Him.

May these images remind all who see them that Jesus is near and that His mercy is greater than any burden we carry.

Preparations for Corpus Christi are well underway!

As we get ready to celebrate this beautiful feast, our church is receiving some extra care and attention. Among those helping are Mr. Zenon and Mr. Zbigniew, Mr. John whose dedication is just one example of the many quiet acts of service that make parish life possible.

Corpus Christi is a unique day when we take our faith beyond the walls of the church. Jesus in the Holy Eucharist will be carried through our streets, reminding us that He desires to walk with His people, bless our homes and neighborhoods, and be present in every part of our lives.

We invite everyone to join us as we publicly profess our faith in the Real Presence of Christ and accompany Our Lord in the procession.

The final brushstrokes are being completed, and the beauty of our sanctuary is beginning to reveal itself in its full splendor.
The renewed apse draws our eyes and hearts toward the center of our faith — the Holy Eucharist. The adoring angels, brighter colors, and enhanced details help focus our attention on Christ truly present among us.

At the same time, the mural of the Sacred Heart of Jesus radiates new life. Rich golden rays flowing from the Heart of Christ remind us of His love poured out for His Church and for each one of us.

As the renovation nears completion, we give thanks to God for the beauty that lifts our minds and hearts to heaven and helps us worship with greater devotion. Consider supporting our renovation fund: www.olcworcester.com/giving

The renovation work in our sanctuary is drawing to a close. This week, the scaffolding was removed, allowing the renewed sanctuary to be revealed in its full beauty.

After many weeks of careful restoration, we can now see the complete transformation: restored murals, renewed details, and a redesigned apse that draws our attention even more powerfully to the center of our faith — Jesus Christ present in the Holy Eucharist.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who is supporting this project through prayer, generosity, and encouragement. More photos of the completed restoration will be shared soon

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aT0XFNUw_7Q What once seemed covered, faded, and hidden is slowly being brought back to life. Step by step we can now see the high altar, apse, and mural almost fully restored and harmonized once again.
But this renewal is not only about paint, gold leaf, scaffolding, or artistic details. It is also a reminder that God desires to renew His Church — and us — from within.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support this work through prayer, sacrifice, encouragement, and financial donation.
