The State of Massachusetts recommends outdoor services as the best option for churches. Having entered Phase 3 of re-opening, St. Mary's is offering 2 outdoor Masses, beginning the weekend of July 25/26 -- 4pm Saturday and 10am Sunday.
Please bring a folding chair and your mask. There is no capacity limit provided every family group is 6 feet apart. Masses will be in the Mary Shrine Garden beside the church.
(If it is raining on a weekend both at 4pm and 10am, there will be one indoor Mass at 10am; seating limits will apply)

The obligation to attend Mass has been suspended by the Bishop during the time of pandemic, no one is obliged to take part in the larger Sunday gathering .. an option is to join our smaller weekday Mass gatherings -- Tuesday at noon, or Thursday at 5pm -- or our Communion beside your car, Sundays Noon to 12:30.

We are posting Sunday Masses here each week, usually available by 5pm Saturdays ...
and ready to be viewed Sundays ...

Join Fr. Shaun in prayer and reflection via a video prayer service available here and on our Facebook page on Monday. Sit down with family and friends, as well as fellow parish members, as we spend time reflecting on the Gospel's call to a change of heart and a more perfect love for our neighbors.

Spread the Word!
Especially to your neighbors and fellow parishioners without internet access ...
The same Sunday Mass available below and on our Facebook page and YouTube channel, can be seen on local cable channel AOTV!
Sunday Mass, 11am, AOTV cable access and heard on FM Radio WVAO 105.9 at 9am on Sundays.
 

Almighty and eternal God, our refuge in every danger, to whom we turn in our distress; in faith we pray --  look with compassion on the afflicted, grant eternal rest to the dead, comfort to mourners, healing to the sick, peace to the dying, strength to healthcare workers, wisdom to our leaders and the courage to reach out to all in love, so that together we may give glory to your holy name. Amen.
-- prayer from the new votive Mass in time of pandemic
