Our Family Mass Program is on Summer Vacation!
Beginning Sunday, June 25, the 9:00am Mass will be a regular liturgy until the Family Mass returns in September with child-focused homilies and Donuts & Coffee.
Thank you so much to all the families who volunteered this year for Donuts & Coffee set-up and clean-up. This time after Mass is a wonderful source of community and connection, and the help from our volunteers is greatly appreciated.

Welcome Fr. Robert!
Please join us this Sunday, June 18 at the 9:00am Family Mass at St. John as we welcome our new parochial vicar, Fr. Robert Blaney. A special reception will be held after Mass in Powers Hall.
Father Robert Blaney is thrilled to join the parishes of St. John’s & St. Paul’s. He was born and raised in Framingham where his parents Jim & Carol still reside. He is a graduate of Boston College with a B.S. in Business. For 13 years Fr. Blaney was a professional actor in New York City. His comedy show How Old Is Your Cat?, which he co-wrote and starred in, ran there for over a year. From 1998 to 2001 he starred in the 2-man play 2 Pianos, 4 Hands on Broadway, in the Canadian production, and on the U.S. National Tour. Responding to God’s call to the priesthood, he gave notice on his contract, entered St. John’s Seminary in Boston, and was ordained a priest 6 years later in 2007. Since his ordination, Fr. Blaney has served at St. Mary’s in Franklin, St. Theresa’s in West Roxbury, Gate of Heaven, St. Brigid’s, St. Monica’s & St. Augustine’s in South Boston, and most recently at Sacred Heart & Our Lady Help of Christians parishes in Newton. In the last three years he was able to combine his love of God and Church with his acting background, appearing in the movie Heart of Faith and performing his 1-man show, A Musical Encore with Father Robert Blaney, which can be found on YouTube.
There will be receptions after the following Masses, please come and extend a welcome to Fr. Blaney.
St. John Parish – June 18 after the 9am Mass. Reception in Powers Hall
St. Paul Parish – June 25 after the 9am Mass. Reception in the Parish Hall

An Invitation To Envision and Plan a Creative Path to Understanding and Living Our Catholic Faith
Please Join Us
Tuesday, June 13
7:00 – 9:15pm
St. Paul Parish Hall
The St. John-St. Paul collaborative faith community has a unique opportunity to develop programs to inspire and attract those among us who hunger for more understanding and sharing of our Catholic faith. Drawing on the ideas and talents of both parishes, we desire to offer adult faith enrichment in ways greater than our parishes can accomplish individually.
You are invited to join the conversation, to lend your thoughts on the development of an innovative adult faith enrichment program that will attract and inspire diverse segments of our community.
Carol Yamartino, a professional executive meeting facilitator, will guide both general and small group discussions. This is your opportunity to help shape future St. John-St. Paul programs designed to further our understanding of our Catholic faith, and what it means to live that faith.
In order to plan for the evening, please let us know that you will be joining us by clicking this link: RSVP
St. Paul Parish Hall is located behind St. Paul Church, at 502 Washington St. Parking is available on Washington St. and in the parking lot behind the church (entrance at 10 Atwood St.)
