This Mass, sponsored by the Diocesan Office of Pastoral Care for Healthcare Facilities, offers prayer and thanksgiving for all essential workers – healthcare, emergency responders, military, food service, sanitation, postal service, transport – all those who contribute to our safety and wellbeing. The Celebrant for the Mass will be the Most Reverend Richard G. Henning, Bishop of Providence. If you are a parishioner, and an essential worker, we would love to have you participate in the Entrance Procession for the Mass. For more information, or to volunteer for the procession, please email

A Reception will follow the Mass.
