Unfortunately, with the recent departure of several of our outside celebrants from Boston College, Fr. Jim is now on his own during the week. As a result, effective immediately, the weekday Mass schedule for the summer at the Collaborative will be:
Monday and Wednesday: 9:00am St. Paul Church
Tuesday and Thursday: 7:00am St. John Church
For those looking for a daily Mass on Friday, the Weekday Mass schedules for neighboring parishes is available on the Liturgy page of our website…
During the summer, we drop to four Masses on the weekend, two at each parish. Our Saturday Vigil Mass schedule remains the same. On Sundays we offer one morning Mass at each parish – one at 9:00am and one at 11:00am – and the location of the Sunday Masses rotate each year. This summer our schedule is:
Saturday
4:00pm Vigil Mass at St. Paul Church
5:00pm Vigil Mass at St. John the Evangelist Church
Sunday
9:00am Mass at St. John the Evangelist Church
11:00am Mass at St. Paul Church
Mass Schedule
7:00am St. John the Evangelist Church
12:00pm St. John the Evangelist Church*
7:00pm St. Paul Church*
*These Masses will be available to watch via livestream here on our website and on our YouTube channel.
It is our joy and privilege to assemble so that together we might enter into the Sacred Triduum: three days beginning with Holy Thursday evening, through Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and ending on Easter Sunday evening. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ’s Paschal Mystery. Our liturgies clearly illustrate this reality – you will notice that Thursday’s liturgy has no dismissal, and Good Friday’s liturgy has no entrance and no dismissal.
Once we have entered into this sacred space and time, even when we return home, our hearts and minds remain in a very real way with the Lord Jesus.
Due to the forecast for snow and ice and hazardous travel, all Collaborative Offices will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, February 28.
In addition, the 7:00pm Confessions at St. Paul on Tuesday evening are cancelled.
Confessions have been rescheduled to Wednesday, March 1 at 7:00pm at St. Paul.
As always, these decisions are made with the safety of our parishioners, staff, and clergy always at the forefront of our minds. Please stay safe!
