Greetings from the Bahá’ís of Worcester County
The worldwide Bahá’í community, composed of people from virtually every racial, ethnic and religious background, is working to give practical expression to Bahá’u’lláh’s vision of world unity. We invite you to learn more about the Bahá’í Faith and benefit from the spiritual and practical insights found in the Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh, God’s message for humanity in this day.
Bahá’ís strive in our daily life to achieve the goal of world unity as proclaimed to us by our Prophet, Bahá’u’lláh. His teachings cover a wide range of topics from world peace, unity of man and religions, elimination of prejudices, harmony of science and religion, etc. You can learn about our beliefs in the Bahá’í Faith page and following some of the links provided there.
The Bahá’ís of Massachusetts have a rich history and longstanding association with several of the towns and city in the county. The first group of Bahá’ís in the city of Worcester was established in 1920 and the first local spiritual assembly was established in that city about 100 years ago in 1924. The town of Shrewsbury also has a local spiritual assembly since 2022.
Diverse activities, including junior youth groups, children classes, study circles, devotionals, and celebration of holy days are carried out through out the county. Educational activities are mainly held in Shrewsbury, Westborough, and Worcester. Contact us for more information.
A highlight in the history of our community happened May 23rd 1912 when ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, the son of Bahá’u’lláh and then leader of the Bahá’í Faith, visited the city and spoke at Clark University. To learn more about the history of the Faith and the first Bahá’í in Worcester visit our History page.
