disciple matrix index survey
St. Mary's is participating in a diocesan process of listening and discernment.
The Diocese of Worcester is partnering with Catholic Leadership Institute to gather feedback from priests, parishes, and the Pastoral Center. The purpose is to better understand strengths, opportunities, and support needs so Bishop McManus and his successor can use credible information as he discerns pastoral priorities and the future direction of the diocese.
LATEST: WE NEED TO HEAR FROM OUR PARISHIONERS!
One important part of this process is the Disciple Maker Index (DMI), a survey that invites parishioners to reflect on their discipleship and experience of parish life at St. Mary's.
Take the DMI between October 22 and November 22. Take the Survey
Your honest feedback helps us understand the life and vitality of our parish
Broad participation helps create a more complete picture of our parish community
Results will be reviewed beginning in January as part of pastoral discernment and future planning
At St. Mary's, we are grateful for the many ways God is at work in our community. The DMI will help us recognize those strengths and identify opportunities where we can continue to grow.
Please continue to pray for our parish and for the Diocese of Worcester as we listen, learn, and discern together.
A nine month Novena to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus will take place on the First Friday of the month after the 8:30 am Mass beginning on October 2nd. These prayers offered over the period of nine months will lead up to Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 4, 2027.
On November 7th at the 4:30PM Vigil Mass for the Feast of All Souls, we will remember & pray in a special way for our parishioners whose Funeral Masses were celebrated here at St. Mary’s this past year. As their names are called, candles will be lit in their memory & remain in front of the Altar throughout November. A Memorial Book will also be available for parishioners to write the names of their loved ones.
After the Mass, there will be light refreshments in the Gathering Space, provided by Shannon Henry of Britton Funeral Homes. All are welcome! Please call the Parish Office at 508-845-6341 to RSVP with your name and the number of guests.
Mary is the Mother who patiently and lovingly brings us to God so thatHe can untangle the knots of our soul.—Pope Francis
Join us for nine Tuesday evenings from October 6—December 1 at6:45 PM in the church. The novena prayers and rosary take place during eucharistic Adoration which is held every Tuesday from 6:00PM-8:00PM. During the nine weeks of the Novena to Our Lady Undoer of Knots, we will lift up the “knots” in our lives to Mary and pray that God’s grace and mercy will untangle them.
Faith is a lifelong journey, a continuous path that requires our attention, dedication, and desire to deepen our relationship with God. As we navigate through life's challenges and triumphs, our faith can provide the strength, wisdom, and peace we need. However, like any relationship, our connection with God requires nurturing and intentional effort to grow.
Joins us at our next Light of the World retreat Friday, November 13 - Monday, November 16, 2026 at St. Mary's Parish. Whether you are looking to rekindle your faith or grow in it, the Light of the World retreat offers a unique and enriching experience.
