Catholic Appeals - All parishes of the Archdiocese of Boston will be asking families in the parish to pledge to the Catholic Appeal. Cardinal Sean thanks the people of Our Lady's who gave $16,213 last year. This year, the economic downturn has made the mission of the Catholic church compelling. We are asking that our parishioners pledge $32,500. If we exceed our goal, the funds raised above our goal will be used in our parish
