As a followup to Fr. Chip's recent appeal for assistance, we offer this detailed look at the damage caused by the snow and cold, the recovery and repair efforts, and the preventative steps taken against more damage. *UPDATED*: Information on the vendors who did the work.
Beginning immediately, on any day when daily Mass is scheduled at Our Lady of Sorrows, if Sharon Public Schools cancels school due to snow or other weather-related conditions, daily Mass will be canceled. Obviously, this is only for weekdays when school is in session. For other days, we will post notices on the web site and on social media.
Due to the forecast for a blizzard this weekend, the following Sunday Masses have been cancelled: 7:30am and 9am at St. Mary; 8am and 9:30am at Blessed Sacrament; 8:30am at Our Lady of Sorrows. Only the following Masses will be celebrated this Sunday: 10:45 at Our Lady of Sorrows; 11am at Blessed Sacrament; 11:30am at St. Mary. The Saturday vigil Masses will also be celebrated and all are encouraged to consider going to one of those Masses. All other activities at the churches have also been cancelled. Please be safe and take all conditions into account when deciding to travel. It is not a mortal sin to miss Mass because of unsafe travel conditions.
Confirmation II and Middle School Faith Formation for Sunday, Feb. 8, have been rescheduled to Feb 22. The 5pm Mass will go on as scheduled this evening.
