PRAYER IN TIME OF PANDEMIC
O God, whose Only Begotten Son bore the weight of human suffering for our salvation, hear the prayers of your Church for our sick brothers and sisters and deliver us from this time of trial.
Open our ears and our hearts to the voice of your Son:
Be not afraid,
for I am with you always.
Bless all doctors and nurses, researchers and public servants;
give us the wisdom to do what is right and the faith to endure this hour,
that we might gather once again to praise your name in the heart of your Church, delivered from all distress and confident in your mercy.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

ARCHDIOCESE COVID-19 UPDATE - FEBRUARY 28, 2022
The Archdiocese of Boston's mask mandate for Masses, weddings and funerals, has now ended. While masks are no longer required, we still have a section reserved for those who prefer to continue wearing a mask and practice social distancing.
Thank you for your understanding as all of us desire to continue to worship together safely. -
FOR YOUR SAFETY
What is the parish doing to prevent the spread?
- We have hospitality ministers at all Masses to assist people in knowing where to sit and in moving about the church for Communion.
- We have hand sanitizer available at the entrances of the church.
- We have a section of the church that is reserved for people who want to continue wearing masks and social distancing.
We want everyone to feel welcomed and comfortable as they enter the church, so that their hearts are fully open to receive Jesus Christ who gives us the hope and the strength we need to endure our challenges.

Pray for people who are infected with COVID-19 or facing quarantine
Jesus, during Your ministry on Earth You showed Your power and caring by healing people of all ages and stations of life from physical, mental, and spiritual ailments. Be present now to people who need Your loving touch because of COVID19. May they feel Your power of healing through the care of doctors and nurses.
Take away the fear, anxiety, and feelings of isolation from people receiving treatment or under quarantine. Give them a sense of purpose in pursuing health and protecting others from exposure to the disease. Protect their families and friends and bring peace to all who love them.
