Good morning, Worcester.

Volunteers Angela Lefebvre and Kate Mercadante worked on last-minute details for the Italian Heritage Parade on Shrewsbury Street on Oct.

5, where grand marshal Joseph Falcone led 50 groups for about 1,500 spectators. Local businesses and community members celebrated with Italian banners and flags—proving their pride in local heritage.

Girls Inc. celebrated 110 years on Oct.

4 at a kickoff and alumni reunion held at a gym on Providence St.—Alumnae shared stories of their experiences while the organization announced plans for a new mentorship program to guide members toward college and career goals.

Reports from decades ago say the three-decker on Douglas Street shook with loud rattles and even made beds jump during spring, with residents recalling that windows rattled and dishes broke.

A retired firefighter said a washing-machine motor hidden in the wall may have caused the shaking—an explanation that still leaves locals wary of the building today.

During his first week at UMass Chan Medical School, Mukund Desibhatla traveled from Worcester to Boston, donating blood stem cells through the National Marrow Donation Program—an act that marks a significant gift of life and reaffirms his commitment to humanism in medicine.
