Advance Reservations NOT Required for Weekend Masses

Advance Reservations NOT Required for Weekend Masses

As you know, last weekend we removed the advance reservation requirement for weekend Masses. We are going to continue this practice while closely monitoring the numbers at all Masses. If capacity issues arise in general, or at particular Masses, we will go back to requiring reservations in some form.  
Please try to arrive at church at least 5-10 minutes before the beginning of Mass to allow adequate time for entrance and seating. 
Remember:  masks (covering the nose and mouth), social distancing, and increased ventilation are still required.

Saint Paul Parish News

Saint Paul Parish News

I have some good news that I am thrilled to share with all of you. St. Paul Parish has received a signed lease for the rental of the St. Paul School building from Star Academy Boston. This is a 20 year lease with options to extend up to 30 years.

Star Academy is a private school serving students in Preschool through Grade 8 on their campus in Watertown, and they are very excited to be expanding to Wellesley. They will be giving the inside of the St. Paul School building a much-needed facelift before opening their doors to students on September 1, 2021, and St. Paul Parish will begin to receive rental income from them at that time.

Advance Reservations for Mass Are Not Required This Weekend, April 10-11

As you know, since resuming in-person Masses last June, our Collaborative has required advance reservations for weekend Masses. Advance reservations allowed us to ensure compliance with state and Archdiocesan guidelines regarding capacity, social distancing, and contact tracing, and to reduce risk as much as possible for our parishioners, clergy and staff as we began to gather together again…

The Cardinal Sean’s Easter Message

The Cardinal Sean’s Easter Message

Easter is the center and core of Christian faith. Christian faith is Resurrection faith; the Risen Christ, having conquered sin and death, remains with us across the ages. When we celebrate “the Triduum” — the great feasts of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday — we recall and present again through words and worship the Passion, Death and Resurrection of the Lord.

Exciting News: Live Stream Masses Coming Next Week!

Exciting News: Live Stream Masses Coming Next Week!

We are very happy to announce that with the installation of a live stream system at St. Paul Church happening this week, we will have the ability to live stream from both churches. This means that all weekend Masses at the Collaborative will be available via live stream on our website, beginning next weekend, March 27-28. We are so grateful for the technology that has allowed us to provide a recorded Mass each week for those at home. However, for those at home, being able to participate together at a live Mass with fellow parishioners in the pews will be a far richer experience, until you are able to come back in person.
