For all non-public spaces, it is strongly recommends that residents take precautions when outdoors and limit outside activities during common times and environments with mosquito activity, especially at dusk, dawn and in swampy and wooded areas.

Effective Immediately
Due to the elevated risk of EEE, we will be following the Town of Sturbridge recommendation and curtailing outside activities from 6 pm to 8 am. For that reason the 6 pm Sunday Mass will be in St. Anne Church until further notice.
Please take all the necessary precautions.
