Information for Attending Mass
The following guidelines have been implemented to help keep us all safe.
We will be opening at limited capacity so all those attending must sign up in advance for the Mass they wish to attend either online on our website www.MedfordCollaborative.org or by phone 781-396-0423 x103, Monday - Friday, 9am - 12noon.
If you have signed up to attend Mass, please arrive 15 minutes early
Everyone should wear a mask unless they are unable to due to a medical condition.
Everyone must practice “social distancing” - standing/sitting 6 feet apart.
Please practice good hygiene - wash hands frequently, do not shake hands, sneeze/cough into your elbow.
For your safety, doorknobs and surfaces are sanitized regularly.
If you are not feeling well, please stay at home.
Sunday Masses will continue to live stream at 10am from St. Joseph Church on our website.
Both churches will be open for Confessions on Saturdays from 3pm-4pm. The dispensation from the Sunday Mass obligation will continue for the foreseeable future. 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, on their parish’s social media or on CatholicTV. For Daily Masses, please consider:

EWTN - 8am, 12noon & 7pm Comcast channel 056 or 238,Verizon channel 285 or www.EWTN.com Parish Office - Our Par ish Office will continue to be closed to in-person visitors but we encourage parishioners to contact us by phone or email Monday - Friday from 9am – 12noon. Please visit our website www.MedfordCollaborative.org and Facebook pages - @StFrancisMedford and @SaintJosephMedford - for updates.

“90 Days Now – For Your Parish” was inspired by the desire to take care of one another during the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19 and the inability to join together at local Catholic churches for
Masses. Please consider making a small daily commitment to “90 Days Now - For Your Parish” so that we can continue to pay our utilities and other bills during this challenging time. To donate, please visit the Archdiocese of Boston’s website at www.bostoncatholic.org and click on the “DONATE” button at the top of
the page. Thank you!
