Welcome
|
We are open and celebrating both weekday and weekend Masses. In recent weeks we have been well below our target limit of 175 persons per Mass. Please consider joining us if you are able. If you are worried about the size of the crowd, weekday Masses are a viable alternative to our Sunday celebration. Mass Schedule
Monday - Saturday - 8:00 AM Saturday - 4:00 PM Sunday - 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM Family Mass & 11:30 AM Confessions - Every Saturday - 3:00 PM - 3:45 PM |
First Holy Communion
Throughout the month of May we will celebrate with our second grade students
and their families as they receive their First Holy Communion.
Due to the current seating limits it is often difficult to seat those who arrive late, please be mindful of this over the next few weeks.
Please keep the students and their families in your prayers. We pray that they continue their studies through Confirmation and beyond, and that they develop a Christ-like love for all people.

COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
Covid-19 health restrictions remain in force at St. Bonaventure Parish and throughout the Archdiocese of Boston. In an effort to free up space on our webpage, we are assuming that everyone is now familiar with the basics of maintaining a safe environment within our parish. The key points to remember are:
1. Monitor your own health and do not put other people at risk if you are feeling unwell.
2. Assess your own risk of infection and serious consequences before choosing to attend Mass. Remember,
the Cardinal has suspended all Sunday and Holyday Mass obligations for the duration of the health crisis.
3. Wear a mask that covers your mouth & nose and practice social distancing.
See the following links for more COVID information. Feel free to call the parish office if you have any questions regarding the specific application of health precautions within the parish.

Disciples in Mission
Update
The Archdiocese of Boston has decided to defer our parishes participation in its Disciples in Mission reconfiguration plan from Phase 9 (2021) to Phase 10 (2022).
This means that Fr. Ken will remain our pastor for at least one more year. In the opinion of the Clergy Personnel Board, the pastor and the parishioners are unprepared for a change in leadership at this time.
“We know that all things work for good for those who love God.” -- Romans 8:28

May Mary, Mother of Divine Hope, pray for us in this time of distress.
May Jesus, Our Divine Hope, give us courage to face the days ahead.
May we remain faithful to His call and always remember that wherever the Cross is,
the Resurrection is sure to follow.
May God have mercy on us all.
