Cardinal Seán's Homily for Mass for Racial Justice
On June 13, 2020, Cardinal Seán celebrated a Mass for racial justice and healing at Castle Island. The Mass was the product of collaboration between Congressman Steven Lynch, Fr. Bob Casey and the parishes of South Boston. Nearly one dozen Boston city priests concelebrated the Mass.
Several members of the African American ecumenical/interfaith clergy attended, Bishop William Dickerson of the Greater Love Taabernacle Church spoke before the Mass, City Councilor Lydia Edwards was the lector and former State Senator Linda Dorcena-Forry led the prayers of the faithful.
We are pleased to provide you the text of the Cardinal's homily by clicking here.
We remember in our prayers our parishioners who have passed away during this difficult time.
May their loved ones find comfort and support in God's love.
