Boston Priests are there for us. They share the Good News of Jesus Christ, by doing Good Works as His devoted disciples. By their words and example they are catalysts for Christ in a community of Good Faith, where together we live in love and service to God and one another. Our only collection at all Christmas Masses will be to support The Clergy Health and Retirement Trust (The Trust), which was established by the Archbishop of Boston to provide a continuum of care for the health and well-being of all diocesan priests in good standing. This Trust is separate from all other diocesan finances to ensure that the funds are used solely for this purpose. Please take a moment to view the video below about one of our Boston priests, Msgr. John McDonough. On behalf of all of our priests, thank you in advance for your generosity.
“Because they serve the country, they should not be denied their faith.”
– Msgr. John McDonough. There for us.

The Christmas Wish 2016 Committee would like to thank everyone who generously supported the program by sponsoring children with outfits and special wish gifts, providing financial donations to be used for gifts and food cards, shopping for children’s needs, entering data of all applicants and volunteers, contacting volunteers, and delivering packages. Your generosity has made this holiday season very special for many families in need. We worked with 170 families and over 420 children in St. Patrick-Brockton, St. Patrick-Lowell, St. Katharine Drexel-Roxbury, Julie’s Family Learning Program-South Boston, and St. John the Evangelist in Wellesley to provide gifts of clothing, toys, special gift wishes, and even food cards. Hundreds of St. John families helped make this program possible. We extend a special thanks to our committee of Kathy Maher, MaryAnne Ulian, Christine Kehoe, Becky Kannam, Paula Gomez, Peg Tally, Ned Kelleher, Corinne Spinale, Joyce Farah, Anne Theriault, Liz Corcoran, Susan Logan, Patti DuFour, Deidre O’Kelly-Lynch, Maria Brown, Lauren Cohen, Nikole Park, and the Parish Office Staff of Sarah Connolly, Tricia Fraser, and Tricia Bombara.
