During the recent series of tornadoes that predominantly hit central and western Massachusetts, two had a significant impact on the parishioners of our Assumptionist parish of St. Anne's in Sturbridge, MA.The first one hit a half of a mile up route 20 at Heritage Green while the second one hit by New Boston Road. Some parishioners were definitely struck, as information becomes known gradually. Electricity is being restored slowly, as a number of streets are being cleared of trees and debris. Meanwhile, we pray for those who have lost their lives and for those who are in need of healing as they try to rebuild.
