WINTER WEATHER POLICIES
Winter weather is upon us and it’s important to know if the parish is open or closed. If Winchendon schools are closed, all parish activities are cancelled. This means that Holy Mass, religious education classes, adult faith formation sessions, meetings, etc. are also canceled and the parish office is closed. If there is a delay in the opening of school, Holy Mass will still be celebrated, but please use your best judgement in traveling to the parish. This policy applies to snow storms that happen during the week. Weekend Masses are typically not canceled. In the event of a weekday snow storm and Mass is canceled, the intention for that day will be transferred to the next time Holy Mass is celebrated.
IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ON THE INTERNET
Immaculate Heart of Mary now has it’s own web page! You can now go to www.heartofmary.net to see Mass times, calendar of upcoming events, cemetery news, etc. Coming soon will be on-line giving!
