On behalf of the Friends of Saint Casimir's Lithuanian Parish, we humbly welcome you!  We were a small and vibrant parish, nestled into a hillside in the heart of southern New England.  It is here that our ancestors erected a beautiful church and established a community of believers over a century ago.  For more than 114 years, our parish family practiced its faith and served God through unique Lithuanian traditions.

Sadly, we recently learned that Bishop Robert McManus acted upon the recommendation of a Diocesan Pastoral Planning Committee.  He chose to close our church and merge our parish family with another nearby parish.  This news was first announced on Saturday, May 17, 2008. The initial phase of the decree of suppression and merger was carried out at 12:01am on July 1, 2008. The final phase of the decree was carried out at 12:01am on July 1, 2009, thus ending the final chapter of our parish's 114-year history.

This site was established in an effort to share news with family, friends and the world as we organized to safeguard our parish by opposing and appealing the Bishop's decision. As our mission has evolved, this site now serves as a tool to help maintain the connection that exists between every member of our Lithuanian family. Please take some time to explore our parish history and learn about the things for which we fought, as well as how we are working to stay together.  View our calendar of events.  Meet our committee, and follow the latest news as it affects us. View our archives to see media coverage and correspondence.  Obtain useful contact information.  Though most of us reside in Worcester, Massachusetts, we know no boundaries.  We come from near and far to serve the Lord as He intended.  Thus, we extend this invitation to you: please join our family and support our cause.  Thank you, and God bless!
