WORCESTER - Unity was a chief focus as people of different ethnic and cultural groups proclaimed their devotion to the Blessed Mother at a special event Sept. 20.

For the Jubilee Year of Hope and 75th anniversary of the Worcester diocese, an annual procession and Mass honoring the Blessed Mother was expanded. Joining more people from the United States and Portuguese-speaking and Spanish-speaking countries this year were representatives of Haiti, Vietnam, Poland, Lithuania, and African countries. More than 250 people joined in the procession from St. Peter Parish, up Main Street, to St. Paul Cathedral.

“The Jubilee Year invites us to be pilgrims of hope, to renew our faith, and to open wide our hearts to God’s mercy,” said Bishop McManus. “In a world often marked by division and despair, our gathering today is a visible sign of the Church’s universality and of the unity that Christ brings.”
