Mass Schedule Change After Labor Day the 11:00am Saint Lucy Mass on Sunday will change to 11:30am. This change is necessary due to the new religious formation program for youth that will begin this fall. This will allow more time for catechesis in the morning and will allow us to offer two sessions instead of one. I know change is always challenging and hope that we can all be flexible as we make every effort to get young families to join us at mass.

Benefit Concert in November! We are excited to announce that St. Lucy and St. Monica Parishes will be sponsoring two benefit concerts on November 18 and 20, 2016, to raise funds to assist refugees in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. We are presently assembling a large choir from local Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant parishes, and from Colleges and High Schools, to sing the extraordinarily beautiful Liturgy No. 3 by Canadian composer Roman Hurko. This is a setting in English of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, the magnificent Liturgy of many of the Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches.

You are invited to participate!

We warmly invite you attend this concert, and if possible to help with the multi-faceted preparations that are needed to make it a success for the sake of our brothers and sisters in need. If you are a singer, we invite you to audition and

participate in the choir! Rehearsals will be held on Mondays at St. Monica's Church, beginning September 19.

The Pilot is an important voice in the public square that brings you the Catholic perspective on current events.

Inspired by the vision of our publisher, Cardinal Seán O’Malley, The Pilot covers it all — from in-depth reporting on Pope Francis to the good works of Boston parishes.

Each week, The Pilot brings you the stories of Boston Catholics who bring the Works of Mercy to life on a daily basis.

Proclaiming the present Holy Year of Mercy, Pope Francis said he wants to make it evident that the Church’s mission is to be a witness of compassion. “Let us not forget that God forgives and God forgives always,” Pope Francis said. “Let us never tire of asking for forgiveness.”
