A Word from Kelly Meraw, Director of Pastoral Care and Liturgy

It is with thankfulness I share exciting news of where the Holy Spirit has led me. In late August, I will step into the role of Director of Vocal Music at Newton Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. The mission of Sacred Heart Schools – to form courageous, globally-minded young women for leadership – is in direct concert with the ways God continues to call me in ministry. I’m inspired to join the seasoned faculty, empowering young women in strong social awareness, active faith, intellectual values, service, and personal growth.

I will always hold a space of deep gratitude and sacredness for my time working at St. John-St. Paul Collaborative…

Day 14: June 29 – Part 2 | We Made It!

We made it! Thirteen days of walking- tired toes, aching bodies, a plethora of personalities, and lots of hard work… and we did it!

We departed our camp this morning with the intent of making this final day’s journey together. This might seem easy but with 30 pilgrims (including 24 high school girls), any time we go together we make waves. Still, we persevered and stuck together. Over hills and through the woods, we held together. A sign of unity on the trail, that many pelegrinos commented over our weeks that they delighted in seeing…

Special Second Collection July 18-19, 2026: Venezuela Relief Efforts

Noting the immense suffering and loss of life occurring in Venezuela following devastating earthquakes, Archbishop Richard G. Henning has asked parishes to consider taking up a special collection to aid relief efforts. Our Collaborative will take up this collection on the weekend of July 18-19.

For this special collection, parishioners are asked to address their checks to their parish, with “Venezuela Relief” in the memo. Each parish will send the funds collected to the Archdiocese to be forwarded to Catholic Relief Services…

Thank You from MassBay Community College

Dear Fr. Laughlin,

I am writing to thank you and your parish community for the remarkable generosity shown through this year’s Lenten appeal. Raising over $35,000 for the MassBay Textbook Fund is a powerful act of care for our students, and I am deeply grateful to you, the Service Commission, and your entire organization…

Archbishop Henning Urges Restoration of TPS Protections

The Administration has decided to terminate that protected status for more than 6,100 Syrians and more than 300,000 Haitians in the United States despite the ongoing instability and dangerous conditions facing many in their home countries. Here in the Boston region, Haitian immigrants have made lives, raised families, and have taken critical roles in health care and in other industries.

I respectfully ask that we urge the administration and Congress to prevent this disaster by providing a secure and lasting basis for these refugees. Please see the link (below) where you can learn more about this matter and consider raising your voice on behalf of the vulnerable.”

Attention Envelope Users: Please Disregard the July 12, 2026 “Holy Father & Apostolic Works” Envelope Included in the Latest Envelope Mailing

The Holy Father & Apostolic Works collection takes place on October 4, 2026 and the correct envelope will be included with your October envelopes.

We apologize for the confusion.
