Greetings from the Bahá’ís of Worcester County

Spring bird

The worldwide Bahá’í community is composed of people from virtually every racial, ethnic and religious background. We are 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 lives 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.

The Bahá’ís of Worcester

The Bahá’ís have a rich history and longstanding association with some towns and cities in Massachusetts and Worcester county. In 1920 the first Bahá’í family moved to Worcester and established the first Local Spiritual Assembly in 1924. The town of Shrewsbury also has a local spiritual assembly since 2022.

Worcester community 2015

We carry out many activities including junior youth groups, children classes, study circles, devotionals, firesides, and celebrations of holy days throughout the county. Educational activities are mainly held in Shrewsbury, Westborough, and Worcester.

A highlight in the history of our community happened May 23rd 1912. On this date ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, son of Bahá’u’lláh and then leader of the Faith, visited Worcester 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.
