PROVIDENCE — During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic the concept of what it means to be an essential worker became very clear for many people who suddenly found themselves on the front lines in helping their communities maintain normal day-to-day services in a time of crisis.
Throughout the month of May, the Diocese of Providence honors the extraordinary efforts of essential workers. We are immensely grateful for their lifesaving and lifegiving work. To give thanks to God for all essential workers, the Office of Health Care Ministry is holding the Second Annual Mass of Prayer and Thanksgiving for Essential Workers on Sunday, May 15, 2022 at 8:45 a.m. at Our Lady of the Rosary Church, 21 Traverse Street, Providence, RI.
