As our 2025-2026 season comes to a close, all women of the Collaborative are warmly invited to join us for a closing Mass, celebrated by Fr. Jim, on Tuesday, May 19 at 6:30pm in the Lower Chapel at St. John the Evangelist Church.
Mass will be followed by a potluck dinner so dust off those Spring recipes and bring a dish or drinks to share! And bring a friend too!
Over the past two weeks more than 100 young people received the Sacrament of Confirmation with Bishop Robert Reed. Please keep them in your prayers as they continue to be filled with the Holy Spirit and grow in their faith.
In 2024, the Archdiocese of Boston announced that the ordinary age of Confirmation would be lowered from Grade 10 to Grade 8. This change was made to facilitate a renewal in family engagement in the life of the parish, especially Sunday Mass, and a renewal of youth ministry within parishes – one that goes beyond sacramental preparation.
Partakers: Partakers works every day to reduce prison recidivism through essential educational opportunities, key skills training, and the power of community and Mentor relationships.
Ignatian Volunteer Corps: The Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) connects adults 50+ with community-based organizations where they make a meaningful impact through long-term service and spiritual growth.
A Faith That Does Justice: A Faith That Does Justice welcomes people of all backgrounds to put their faith into action to create a more just world.

All military veterans and their families are cordially invited to attend a special Veterans Memorial Mass at St. Paul Church at 4:00pm on Saturday, May 17. Organized by the Wellesley Veterans’ Council, this annual event brings Wellesley veterans together as part of the annual Wellesley Wonderful Weekend. Veterans are invited (but not required!) to wear their uniforms and gather in the St. Paul foyer to process in with the celebrant to reserved seats at the front of the church.
During the Mass we will remember those veterans from Wellesley who gave their lives for our country.
We find ourselves in the early days of the Easter Season. With the grief of Holy Week still in our peripheral view, we are nevertheless invited into these fifty days of sustained – at times “persistent in spite of” – joy. Today Jesus’ voice is singing His familiar leitmotif of peace.
While never intimidated by questioning unjust systems, Jesus is Peace. The infant Jesus opens the veil between earth and heaven as the Prince of Peace. The Rabbi preaches “Peacemaking” on a crowded mountain and names those willing to do that holy work “Blessed.” The Suffering Servant promises peace amidst tribulation on the eve of His own crucifixion. In victory over death, Jesus chooses the gift of peace for His dearest friends as a defining identity and lineage of the Christian people. Even now, before Christ is sacrificed on the Eucharistic table, each and every time, we exchange peace with one another to prepare ourselves to receive the greatest gift of life…
