Registration is complimentary – click HERE now to register!
Watch a preview of this year’s celebration – featuring our own Fr. Jim!
For priests, bringing the presence of Christ to others is a daily calling that extends far beyond the walls of the Church, and impacts the lives of people of all faiths and backgrounds throughout the entire community. There are countless examples of priests in the Archdiocese of Boston working tirelessly and selflessly to make the world a better place for all of us. Our priests don’t just enrich the lives of Catholics in parishes, they enrich the lives of everyone in all communities. It’s simple: healthier priests mean stronger communities.
You can help by contributing to the Clergy Trust special collection at all Masses on the weekend of September 18-19…
“Lord, take me where You want me to go;
Let me meet who You want me to meet;
Tell me what You want me to say;
And keep me out of Your way.”

The Wellesley Board of Health has issued an indoor mask advisory for all individuals ages 5 and up when in public settings, to help combat the COVID-19 Delta Variant. The full advisory is below and was approved by the Board on Thursday, September 9:
In light of the recent increase in the COVID Virus Delta variant, which has proven to be significantly more transmissible, we are strongly advising that individuals over the age of 5 wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth when indoors in a public setting, regardless of their vaccination status. Please understand that information and data is changing rapidly, and we are doing our best to respond in a thoughtful and expedient manner. As additional information is released from the CDC and Massachusetts Department of Public Health our decisions may change. It’s important that we all remain flexible and vigilant during these times.
Now that Star Academy is open, we have established a one-way traffic pattern and designated parking areas in our shared parking lot for the safety of the children, families, staff and parishioners.
When parking in the lot for a weekday Mass while school is in session, please observe the designated traffic pattern and parking areas.
Parking on Washington Street is strongly encouraged, when possible, to reduce pressure on the parking lot.
Please note: Additional parking will be available to the parish for funeral liturgies and other special Masses.
On Saturday, August 14, a massive 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti, killing nearly 1300 people, with death toll numbers increasing. The shock leveled homes, leaving thousands without shelter. Countless others are injured and hospitals are already overwhelmed. Haiti is a country already susceptible to hurricanes and still recovering from the disastrous earthquake a decade ago and many in Haiti are already facing widespread hunger due to drought and economic instability.
Recognizing the suffering of the Haitian people and growing need for assistance, Cardinal Seán has asked that a special collection for Catholic Relief Services and the Church in Haiti be taken in all parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston this weekend, August 28-29.
Donations may be placed in the second collection at all Masses this weekend. (Checks should be made payable to your home parish with “Haiti Earthquake Relief” in the memo.)
Donations may also be made online…
