The Mass for Peace will still be celebrated but at an earlier time, 6:30 p.m. Members of the Diocese of Fall River Diocese are invited to join Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha, S.D.V. at this annual Mass for Peace on Monday, October 13, 2025, the Columbus Day holiday. In his closing message at last year’s Mass for Peace, Bishop da Cunha said that “prayer can change the human heart; when hearts change, there will be peace.” All are encouraged to respond to the plea of the Blessed Mother in Fatima in 1917 to pray, especially the Rosary, for peace and an end to wars. The Mass for Peace will be livestreamed on the Our Lady of Fall River Catholic Community website here.
