St. John – St. Paul Catholic Collaborative

Thanks to the formidable work of scientists and health care workers (not to mention our own vigilance) we are seeing parish life return in a more recognizable way. We are in need of help in every area in order to accommodate our growing congregation: Greeters, Lectors, Collection Takers, and Eucharistic Ministers.

No long-term commitment required – sign up to help at a single Mass or several as your schedule allows!  More info…

The Archdiocese of Boston has lifted the dispensation from the Sunday Mass obligation effective June 19-20. 

This obligation does not apply to those who are ill; those who have been recently exposed to COVID or any other communicable illness; those who are confined to their homes or to hospitals or other facilities due to illness, infirmity, frailty, or age; and those who are not yet able to be vaccinated, due to age or any health consideration.

Masses will continue to be available via livestream on our website and YouTube channel.

Fully vaccinated individuals are no longer required to wear masks or to socially distance in most indoor and outdoor settings in Massachusetts.
The State does advise that non-vaccinated people continue to wear masks in most settings.

Different people will be able/ready to take off their masks and sit near one another at different times.
To accommodate everyone, we have designated sections of each church for general seating and for masked/socially-distanced seating.
For more  information please visit our Current Guidelines and Practices page.

The schedule below is in effect through Sunday, June 27. Our Summer Schedule begins Saturday, July 3.

To watch a Mass or event that is currently being streamed, click the St. John Live Stream or St. Paul Live Stream link to access the live stream from the appropriate church.
