Lenten Regulations Abstinence -- Catholics over 14 years of age are bound to the obligation of abstinence. Abstinence is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays of Lent. On days of abstinence, meat may not be used at all. As you embrace this discipline, please pray for those who go to bed hungry each night. One in nine people in Easter Massachusetts do not know where their next meal is coming from.
Please join us on Saturday March 6th from 12 Noon - 1:00 PM in the Upper Church for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
Year of the Eucharist Monthly Eucharistic Adoration
The Year of the Eucharist is meant to be a time set aside to bolster the faith of those who already believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and to encourage those who struggle with this belief.
To assist us a website has been set up that offers differing resources and links. The website is: www.bostoncatholic.org/yearoftheeucharist
Because the First Saturday of April is Holy Saturday, we will move Adoration to Saturday, April 10th in the Upper Church from Noon to 1:00 pm. It is wonderful time to place ourselves before the Eucharistic Lord and be touched by is gentle and healing presence. Feel free to come for a few moments or the entire time.
Please remember that the dispensation from the obligation for Sunday Mass continues and that the Cardinal and I encourage people to stay safe. I look forward to the day where all of us can again gather, but now is not the right time for many.
Dress Warmly for Church: While there will be heat in the church during the cold weather, following pandemic safety precautions, windows and doors will still be kept open as much as possible for ample ventilation. So please be prepared and dress warmly when you come to church. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Reception of Holy Communion is only by hand. Both the minister of the Eucharist and the communicant will have masks on at the time of distribution.
Assistance: If you need food or any other kind of assistance, please free to call Fr. Jack or Julie at the rectory.
