Novena to St. Joseph will take place on Monday evenings this fall at Christ the King Parish in Worcester. There will be prayer for the seriously ill, for improvements in palliative care, for the end of the pandemic, and to raise awareness about the attempt to introduce physician-assisted suicide into Massachusetts. The Novena begins on Monday, September 13 from 7:15 to 8:00 p.m. and is held nine consecutive Mondays. This year’s remaining dates and speakers are: • Msgr. Thomas Sullivan (November 1) • Fr. Walter Riley (November 8). The names of those who are critically or terminally ill, who are prayed for at the Novena, can be mailed to Msgr. Sullivan at the parish (1052 Pleasant Street, Worcester, MA 01602), or you can call them in (508-754-5361),
