WORCESTER - Father Jonathan J. Slavinskas, pastor of Our Lady of Providence Parish, blessed the parish’s new shrine of St. Christopher, patron of travelers, and people’s cars, Saturday at Our Lady of the Rosary Church. Our Lady of the Rosary and St. Christopher parishes recently merged into Our Lady of Providence Parish, which now uses its St. Bernard’s and Our Lady of the Rosary churches. The statue came from St. Christopher’s campus, where Bishop John J. Wright unveiled it and blessed vehicles when dedicating the outdoor St. Christopher shrine there in 1957.
