Worcester charter school to move to shuttered school site

The Learning First Charter Public School in Worcester will move to the site of St. Mary s Schools off Vernon Street to occupy a building that closed last year. Learning First plans to start a $14-million renovation this fall and move in over the summer of 2022. Those costs will be funded primarily through tax-exempt bonds, donations, historic tax credits, and cash the school has saved, Learning First said. A limited liability corporation registered to the charter school s business services manager and others bought the site on April 1 as part of a $4.3-million deal. Learning First will move from 51 Gage St. to the St. Mary s site, which it said in an announcement Monday is a better fit with more parking, a bigger gymnasium and other classroom needs. The charter school, which has 670 students, was called Seven Hills Charter Public School until changing its name last year, not being affiliated with the Worcester-based Seven Hills Foundation.

Churches requiring preregistration for Christmas services; singing discourage

At the end of a year in which almost everything seemed to have been altered by the COVID-19 pandemic, churches are making adjustments for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services that adhere to social distancing guidelines.  In order to keep services from exceeding limits, churches are requiring parishioners to register ahead of time for services that will be well below normal capacity. On Dec. 8 Gov. Charlie Baker limited indoor capacity to 40% for places of worship. In addition, singing is also being discouraged. Raymond L. Delisle, chancellor and director of communications for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Worcester, said that the churches had to put the preregistration systems in place because of the popularity of Christmas Masses.
