Please consider placing a candle in your window this Saturday night and saying the prayer at 7PM (local time) to unite with Christians around the world this Easter season.

Holy Saturday Vigil Prayer

April 11, 2020

Loving Father, We gather around this candle whose flame pierces the darkness and proclaims by our faith that Jesus Christ is the light of the world. We thank you for your Son, our Savior, and ask You to bless us and grant these petitions:

May this candle be our Easter candle in troubled times.

May Christ’s light warm the poor and heal the sick.

May Christ’s light caress the lonely and embrace the lost.

May Christ’s light reach into the corners of our hearts and dispel our darkest fears.

May we, by our charitable words and deeds, be Christ’s light to others and so light up the world.

And may we draw ever more closely to Jesus Christ, our light and our risen Lord. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

RISK ALERT: Coronavirus

ALL MASSES AND SERVICES ARE CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

NO RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

A Note from the Pastor

Dear friends: For the time being the Governor has issued a “stay-at-home advisory”. During this time feel free to drop by the Church to say a prayer, be alone with God and be embraced by God’s friendship and peace. Because of the “stay-at-home” advisory, the Lenten Devotions of Adoration of the Eucharist on Thursday evening and the Stations of the Cross on Friday evening will not take place.

Also, if you need a visit from a priest because of illness or need assistance of any kind, please call me on my cell phone –617-686-0290.

Together, with God’s help, we will make it through this challenging time.

Fr. Jack

617-686-0290 (Cell)

The Church will be open daily, Sunday through Saturday from 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM, for private prayer only.

The Most Reverend Robert Reed, Auxiliary Bishop of Boston and President of CatholicTV said, “It’s unprecedented to be unable to celebrate the holiest week of the year in our parishes, but through the gift of modern technology, CatholicTV allows us to gather virtually at the mother church of the Archdiocese with our shepherd, Cardinal Seán, for these sacred rites.”
