Roman Catholic Diocese of Worcester - Organization of Parishes

Organization of Parishes

In 2004, Bishop Reilly grouped parishes into "clusters". The purpose of this system is to allow communities to come together for a regional event. Also, priests may substitute for one another at a particular parish.
