We are pleased to welcome two transitional deacons to our collaborative, Deacon Jonathan Hank and Deacon Jorge Sanchez. The ecclesiastical hierarchy of Christ’s Church is formed of sacred ministers: bishops, priests, and deacons. All of these act in the exercise of their ministry in the name and person of Christ the Head. Deacons minister to the People of God in the diakonia (service) of word, liturgy, and charity. The deacon, configured to Christ the servant of all, is ordained for the service to the Church. He carries out this service under the authority of his proper bishop by the ministry of the Word, of divine worship, of pastoral care and of charity. Deacon Jonathan and Deacon Jorge were ordained deacons of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary on September 30, 2023. As a final part of their formation before being ordained priests on July 27, 2024 they will be serving at Most Precious Blood and St. Theresa of Lisieux Parishes, preaching at Masses, baptizing, and presenting spiritual reflections. Please join us in welcoming Deacon Jonathan and Deacon Jorge!

We urge our parishioners to stay off the roads during severe storms both for personal safety and to give town crews time to clear roads. If Dover-Sherborn schools are canceled due to weather, daily Mass and Religious Education classes will be canceled at both of our parishes and the parish offices will be closed. On weekends, cancellations will be announced on local television channels 5 and 7, on this website, and on the parish phone. Please note that if there is a power outage, the parishes will be closed and it may not be possible to update the phone message.
