Anointing of the Sick for the Elderly and Homebound
Throughout the centuries, the Church has cared for the sick and provided spiritual nourishment for those who cannot attend Mass due to illness or confinement.Divine Mercy continues this tradition and assuring them of the constant prayers of the community.
If you or a loved one are temporarily or permanently home-bound, at a care facility, or in the hospital and would like to receive the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, Fr John Larochelle is available during the day or evenings (no matter the hour).
Please contact the parish office to make arrangements for Fr John’s visit. If the parish office is closed, you will be directed on how to reach him immediately.

Introducing Divine Mercy Parish
-
The parishioners of Saint Augustine, Saint Paul, and Saint Theresa parishes participated in submitting suggestions of names for the new parish, and then voted for their three favorite names. More than 40 names were submitted for the new parish for Blackstone and Millville and more than 750 votes were cast. Once the votes were tabulated, the five names that received the most votes were presented to Bishop McManus for his consideration. Bishop McManus chose the name that received the greatest number of votes. Therefore, the newly established parish for Blackstone and Millville will be known as Divine Mercy Parish.
In September, as the five parishes began this process for Parish Renewal, we made a pilgrimage together to the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The message of Divine Mercy is an invitation to each one of us to trust in Jesus, even in difficult moments. We pray that each one of us will make every effort to share this love and mercy with others. Together, let us all be bearers of the message of God’s infinite mercy. Jesus, I trust in you.Peace & Blessings,
- Fr. John Larochelle
