As has happened over the past several weeks since our reopening, last weekend’s Masses went very well. We had 359 people who came to the Masses and our volunteers, as in previous weekends, were very helpful in coordinating the various safety requirements. We are also grateful for the prayerful and financial support of parishioners who have not yet been able to attend Mass. As we move into the next phases of reopening, you will be informed of any changes to our procedures.

Our Transitional Deacon, Matthew Norwood, as many of you may know, was scheduled to be ordained a priest last May but the Covid pandemic interrupted that planned date. On Saturday, August 1, at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Deacon Matt will be ordained a Priest of Jesus Christ by Cardinal Sean O’Malley. Even though there will be significant restrictions relative to attendance at the ordination due to the virus, it will be a wonderful day for Matt and his family and friends. The following day he will celebrate his First Mass at his home parish of Saint Paul in Wellesley.

Dear Friends and Parishioners,

I greet you with the hope and prayer that you are well and safe during these times. Since our reopening of Mass, we have now experienced 4 Sundays under the restricted measures we have had to follow. For the greater part, all has gone smoothly thanks to the help of numerous volunteers serving to direct parishioners who have returned.

Notification of someone who may have been at Mass and tests positive for Covid 19.

A big welcome to our new Coordinator of Liturgical Music!

Last weekend we had a successful re-opening of Masses at St. Columbkille Parish. Considering the restrictions and warnings for vulnerable people, we were pleased to have 287 people at the Masses. With the great help of our volunteers, all the procedures and guidelines for a safe opening were met. We are extremely grateful for the volunteers who stepped up to the plate. Please note the revised schedule for Sunday morning Masses and daily Mass. We look forward to Phase 2 of the Governor’s re-opening plan and how it will impact our ability to come together as a faith community. In the meantime stay safe and healthy.
