I am so pleased to share that on Monday, this special place came to be. It was my pleasure to bless the new Faustina Center, \u201can island of mercy for families,\u201d in Fall River. The center is making wonderful use of available rooms in a building belonging to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holynamefallriver.org\/\">Holy Name Parish <\/a>in Fall River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Services offered at the Faustina Center will endeavor to support the dignity of the family by strengthening families in need in all our communities, particularly those facing difficult pregnancies with material resources, spiritual support, education, and community referrals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In brief remarks, I expressed my gratitude to all involved in making the center possible, as it will help us carry out the mission that is ours as Catholics to reach out to those in need. I think it is especially imperative that we be ready to offer material help along with spiritual counseling to any woman reaching out with uncertainty about continuing a pregnancy. We need to recognize the very difficult situations that underlie despair and the sense of not knowing what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on the Faustina Center, you can contact Irina Robinson at irobinson@dioc-fr.org or by phone 508-669-7966.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Blessing, a Challenge, and a Calling: Honoring Mothers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/jonathan-dick-osfs-Go51h6JJ1T8-unsplash-1024x563.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/jonathan-dick-osfs-Go51h6JJ1T8-unsplash-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/jonathan-dick-osfs-Go51h6JJ1T8-unsplash-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/jonathan-dick-osfs-Go51h6JJ1T8-unsplash-768x423.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/jonathan-dick-osfs-Go51h6JJ1T8-unsplash-1536x845.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/jonathan-dick-osfs-Go51h6JJ1T8-unsplash-2048x1127.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/jonathan-dick-osfs-Go51h6JJ1T8-unsplash-240x132.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:3px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As we prepare to celebrate Mother\u2019s Day, I give thanks for all mothers who so generously share their love, strength, and faith.
