Year of the Eucharist Extended
As the parishes of the Archdiocese of Boston responded to the call to protect public health by foregoing public gatherings this year, the events planned for the Archdiocese’s observance of the Year of the Eucharist were necessarily postponed.
Due to this circumstance Cardinal Seán has extended the Archdiocese’s Year of the Eucharist to June of 2022.
In this extended Year of the Eucharist, Cardinal Seán encourages the faithful to turn their gaze toward Jesus as He is truly present in the Eucharist, the source and summit of our faith, and His great gift to us, the gift of His very life. Please join us in prayer for this renewed effort and for the ongoing success of the Year of the Eucharist in the Archdiocese of Boston and in our Parish.
STAY TUNED FOR UPCOMING EVENTS!

What is a Year of the Eucharist Missionary?
It is someone who believes in the True Presence of the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and will dedicate him/herself to pray more, participate in, and promote the Year of the Eucharist.
Who can be a Missionary?
We welcome anyone to join us as Missionaries, deepening your own love of the Eucharist, and praying for this Eucharistic Year to bear fruit in the whole Church.
What does a Year of the Eucharist Missionary do?
We call it the Three P’s — Pray, Participate, Promote.
1. PRAYER – Commit to praying an additional 1% each day. That’s 15 minutes. This can be done at home, in front of the Blessed Sacrament, by going to Mass, or reading Scripture, etc.
IF YOU FEEL CALLED TO THIS MINISTRY, PLEASE FILL OUT A COMMITMENT FORM AND DROP IT IN THE COLLECTION BASKET AT CHURCH OR DROP IT OFF AT THE PARISH OFFICE.
