Our heartfelt thanks to all who have participated, especially during this difficult year.  Your generosity will benefit hundreds of pastoral, charitable, and educational programs at work within the Archdiocese of Boston, and at Mary, Queen of Peace Parish. 
     
    We recognize that many of you may be navigating your own financial challenges but ask for your prayerful consideration of a gift to the 2021 Catholic Appeal at whatever level is comfortable for you.  Every gift, regardless of the size, is meaningful and can make an impact.    If you have not received a Catholic Appeal letter or email request, donations can be made on line at www.bostoncatholicappeal.org or by using the QR code below.  Your participation in our parish Appeal is very much appreciated by our parish and the thousands that are served through the Archdiocesan Central Ministries. 
     
    At our Parish, we see that support in the following areas:
    · Guidance and resources to help up us deal with the COVID-19 Pandemic
    · Support and resources for our Faith Formation programs
    · Expertise in Risk Management, Finance, Human Resources, Real Estate and Property Services
    · Support, expertise and resources for our School
     
    Please consider making your gift today by visiting

    Guidelines for Attending Public Masses

    As we welcome everyone to Mass during this time of Pandemic, Cardinal Sean O’Malley calls us to Take Care of Each Other.
     ​

    All those attending Masses are encouraged to sign up.  Following are the three easy ways to sign up for Mass:
       *  Please click HERE or on the Sign Up button above.
       *  Sign up in person at the check-in table when you attend Mass.
       *  Call our office at 781-396-0423 by Friday at Noon to be added to the sign up list.


    We remind you of the following pandemic precautions which must be observed:
    1. Everyone attending must wear a mask or face covering. 
    2. Please observe social distancing – keep 6 feet apart from each other.  Members of a household can sit together in a pew. 
    3. To maximize ventilation, some doors and windows will be open.  Please dress warmly!
    4. Communion received by hand only.  Please watch for our Usher’s directions for the Communion procession.
    5. Congregational singing has been suspended.
    6. Offertory baskets will not be passed during Mass.  We encourage you to drop your offering in the baskets, located at the entrances of the Church, as you enter or leave Mass.
    7. If you’re not feeling well or have recently been exposed to COVID-19, please stay home.  Several of our Masses are livestreamed and can be viewed from this website.  In addition, the Cardinal’s dispensation from the Sunday Obligation remains in place.  Cardinal Seán strongly encourages people in vulnerable populations, especially the elderly and those with complicating physical conditions, to continue to watch Mass from their homes. 

    ​Thank you for your cooperation!

    Our Churches are sanitized frequently, for your safety. 

    We invite you to watch the video below from the Archdiocese of Boston which explains the protocols and guidelines in place to help keep us safe.

    GOD BLESS OUR SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH

    Sister Catherine and Sister Elizabeth moved to the Sisters of St. Joseph’s Motherhouse on August 3, 2020 and were honored at the St. Joseph 4pm Mass on Saturday, August 1. They have been a model of exemplary service, faith and dedication to our school and parish community for 47 years. Words cannot express how much they will be missed! Please join us in wishing them all of God’s blessings as they begin this new journey.
