The pandemic has shown us the self-giving and generosity of health care workers, volunteers, support staff, priests, and religious men and women.” - Pope Francis, April 5, 2022, via the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network
Throughout the month of May 2022, the Diocese of Providence honors the extraordinary efforts of essential workers. We are immensely grateful for their lifesaving and lifegiving work.
To give thanks to God for all essential workers, the Office of Health Care Ministry is holding the Second-Annual Mass of Prayer and Thanksgiving for Essential Workers on Sunday, May 15, 2022 at 8:45 a.m. at Our Lady of the Rosary Church, 21 Traverse Street, Providence, RI.
The Mass of Thanksgiving is open to all. Essential workers are encouraged to wear their uniforms to be recognized for their service.
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have; God is pleased by sacrifices of that kind." - Hebrews 13:16
