Bishop Alfred Schlert will offer a special Mass of Healing and Remembrance for people struggling with addiction and their families.
The Mass will be celebrated at a regularly scheduled parish Sunday Mass on April 15 at 10:30 a.m. at Queenship of Mary, Northampton. Father Patrick Lamb, pastor, will be the homilist.
"We have a responsibility as a family of faith to pray for and offer encouragement to our brothers and sisters coping with addictions, and to provide support to their families who struggle with them." Said Bishop Schlert recently.
The Mass is being celebrated during the Easter Season, which is one of hope and new life. The five wounds of the Resurrected Lord remind us that we have a God who suffers with us, understands our wounds, and offers us new life, healing, and conversion by living in and with him.
All in the Diocese are most welcome to attend this Mass and unite in prayer for hope and healing.
