Woonsocket has lots of beautiful churches, but I'm pretty sure this one is my favorite. I'm sure I've made it pretty clear by this point that I love these big, old school type churches, and this one has all my favorite details. It touts itself as the oldest church in Northern Rhode Island. I hope the church building is still going strong and not feeling its age too much.
The daily Mass here is held in the basement. I didn't get to linger for long because I had to make it to Mass, but hopefully I'll come back here for another one in the main church at some point. The parish's priest is a Jesuit, and he has audio homilies available on the church website. The parish has adoration every Friday afternoon, and the bulletin contains lots of events and suggestions for the spiritual growth of the parishioners. The parish also operates a food pantry for Woonsocket residents, which a friend of mine helps organize through the Diocese.
