Ash Wednesday, February 14 Collection for Catholic Charities

Ash Wednesday, February 14 Collection for Catholic Charities

The collection at all Masses in the Archdiocese of Boston on Ash Wednesday is taken up for Catholic Charities Boston. Catholic Charities helps thousands of families within our own communities who are facing critical challenges – homelessness, food insecurity, poverty, lack of affordable childcare, access to education and job training, legal advocacy and support for refugees and immigrants – to help achieve stability and reach self-sufficiency.

Donation may be made during the collection on Ash Wednesday or online by visiting ccab.org/donate
Any amount you can give directly helps our neighbors in need. Thank you so much.

This Sunday, January 7 is the First Sunday of the Month – Family Mass and Youth Mass are at St. John!

This Sunday, January 7 is the First Sunday of the Month – Family Mass and Youth Mass are at St. John!

Just a reminder that this Sunday, January 7 is the first Sunday of the month, and that means that the Sunday 9:00am Family Mass and 5:00pm Youth Mass will be celebrated at St. John Church. 

Yes, we were at St. John last Sunday too, but that’s because December had three Sundays and we’re at St. John on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays of the month.  And yes, it’s a little confusing, but luckily it doesn’t happen too often!

Winter Weather Policy and Information on Cancellations

Winter Weather Policy and Information on Cancellations

In severe weather situations, it may be necessary to cancel Masses and other events and activities. Decisions regarding the cancellation of Masses and other programs are always made with the safety of our parishioners, staff, and clergy at the forefront. In all things, God gave us the gifts of wisdom, reason, and prudence.  Whether there are cancellations or not, please make the best decision for yourself and your family when considering travel in severe weather.  

Cancellation announcements will be sent to the Collaborative email list and posted on our website and social media. A recorded announcement will be available by calling either parish office when possible. We will do our best to give as much notice as possible in the event of cancellations, and we thank you for your understanding and patience.
