Parish Updates & Continued Covid Info.

As we head into the fall, we are happy to continued to offer three different Mass options...

Please note: Parishioners are no longer required to register ahead for the Indoor Mass at 4PM on Sat.

OR the Drive-In Mass at 10AM on Sunday. The sign-up links have been removed.

1. Drive-in Masses - Sundays at 10:00AM

**UPDATE: Drive-In Mass will continue until further notice as weather permits.

(While we intended to move this Mass inside soon after Labor Day, we have decided to continue outdoors while weather allows since this Mass caters specifically to families with young children still unable to be vaccinated. Those wishing to worship inside can join Sat. at 4PM.)

**Due to the nature of the Drive-In, we ask that all parishioners still REMAIN IN VEHICLES before, during and after Mass. Since many people need to keep cars running for AC and radio access, we do not want parishioners walking between and around cars to prevent accidents.

If you wish to visit with fellow parishioners you can do so by attending the Indoor Mass at 4PM or visiting off the church property after Mass has concluded.

2. Live Streamed & Recorded Masss.

Live Mass will be streamed at 4PM every Saturday. Access the live stream by clicking here.

Recorded Masses will be available for viewing on our YouTube page each weekend upated every Sat. at 5PM.

Click here to follow our You Tube channel.

Please note that the Cardinal's dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass during this time to the Catholics of the Archdiocese of Boston remains in effect. Those who have health concerns or are high risk should continue to join us virtually from the comfort and safety of home.

3. Indoor Mass - Saturdays at 4:00PM.

At Indoor Masses, those who are vaccinated are no longer required to wear masks. Those who wish to wear masks are welcomed to do so. Pews are still marked for social distancing to allow those who wish to keep some distance to do so.

Other Parish Activities

At this current time, the following guidelines for other parish activities/programs are as follows:

The celebrations of Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals are allowed; with some restrictions and attendance limits.
Faith Formation classes for students in ALL grades Pre-K thru 5, The Edge (Grade 6-8), R.O.C (Gr. 9&10), and Adult RCIA will begin in October 2021 and run through April 2022. We are planning to hold in person classes 1 Sunday per month, but will have the flexibiliy to switch to virtual if needed. Please contact Bernadette at [email protected] for details and registration.
Our 6PM LIFE TEEN Mass is temporarily suspended until the Spring 2022 to allow for all our class meetings to align with the adjusted schedules of our elementary classes. We will bring this Mass back when all our middle and high school teens are able to be vaccinated so they can attend, minister and participate safely! For now, you will soon see our LT Band on rotation at our 10AM Mass!
Parish activities and events are being held on a limited basis and virtually when possible. Check our weekly bulletin for details.
The distribution of food through our Parish Food Pantry is temporarily suspended. (Details forthcoming)
We have resumed our monthly Bristol Lodge Service project; however, we will need donations of specific food items which much be individually wrapped/packaged. Click here to sign up to help.
Monetary donations for Bristol Lodge are now being accepted through our We Share program so that we can purchase portions of the meals that may be needed. If you choose to donate online, click the Online Giving link on the bottom of our home page and choose "Soup Kitchen Ministry" when you donate.

Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen

Throughout the pandemic we have been especially grateful to our Bristol Lodge Coordinator, Denise, and the small group of parishioners who have dedicated themselves to providing our monthly meal on the 1st Wednesday of each month. With their support we have not missed one month even throughout the Covid-19 shutdown.

As we prepare for the summer, we know the Soup Kitchen will start getting busier. If you are able to help cook a portion of the meal OR if you able to purchase food or snacks to go with the meal, we would appreciate your assistance.

Click here to find the monthly menu & sign up. Please read the note on the Sign Up Genius with details about food drop off locations & times.
