Coadjutor Bishop Joseph Williams will celebrate a Healing Mass on Feb. 11, the World Day of the Sick.
The Mass will begin at 6:30 p.m. at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Mary Mother of Mercy Parish, Glassboro. The church is located at 500 Greentree Road.
Bishop Williams will offer a prayer of healing; the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick will not take place. The Mass is being sponsored by VITALity Catholic Healthcare Services Diocese of Camden.
In his 2025 message for the World Day of the Sick, Pope Francis reminds those who are ill and suffering that they have an especially important part to play in this Jubilee Year. “Your journey together is a sign for everyone: ‘a hymn to human dignity.’ … Places of suffering are frequently also places of sharing and mutual enrichment. How often, at the bedside of the sick, do we learn to hope. How often, by our closeness to those who suffer, do we learn to have faith! How often, when we care for those in need, do we discover love.”
