Update: Pastoral Planning Collaborative

Thank you to everyone who filled out and returned the surveys about the archdiocesan proposal to cluster our parish with St. Mary's parish. Those surveys along with a comprehensive report prepared by parish staff and parishioners was sent to the Archdiocesan Pastoral Planning Commission on April 30, 2012. To read the final report, please see our Pastoral Planning 2012 page, where you will also find background information on the proposed clustering of parishes.

Over the Past Four Years . . .

Some key facts about Our Lady's Parish: Over the past 4 years, church income is up 22%, Mass attendance is up 20%, number of families registered in the parish is up 41%, school income is up 28% and enrollment is up 49%. We are debt free.

Please see our the Pastoral Planning page for more information and for links to the Archdiocesan website and key planning documents. You may also email questions or concerns to the Parish Pastoral Council at parish@olca.org or call Diane LeBlanc at 781-526-1285.

Our Lady's Parish Newsletter 2012

To celebrate all that we do at Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted Parish and Our Lady's Academy, we have published our 2012 Our Lady's newsletter. We invite everyone to take a look to see the many ministries and hard-working parishioners that make our parish the vibrant, growing community it has become over the past four years. If you are interested in joining one of our ministries, we'd love to have you! Please see the newsletter for more information and contact Sharon Micco in the parish office (781-894-3481 ext. 2).

Parish Registration

We have many parishioners who come to Our Lady's regularly but who are not registered in the parish. If you have not filled out a parish census form, then your family is not registered. The parish census form is the only form we use to become a registered parishioner. If you are uncertain you have filled out the form, fill it out again just to be sure. You may register by filling out the form in the back of the church or by downloading the form from our Registration page.

Also if you have changed your address, phone number, or email address, please call Sharon Micco at 781-894-3481 ext. 2 or email her at parish@olca.org so she can change the information she has on file.

Marian Rosary Service: May 18

Join us in the church on Friday, May 18 at 6:30 pm for our Marian Rosary Service. All are welcome to attend.

Grand Annual

Through our Grand Annual Collection, which makes up for the shortfall of Sunday collections and pays for the upkeep and maintenance of our parish, we have collected $120,354 thanks to your generosity. Because of your generosity, we surpassed our goal, we paid off the remaining church debt to the Archdiocese, and Our Lady's Parish is now debt free! God bless all who contributed. (If you have not made a donation yet, please put the donation in an envelope and mark it as "Grand Annual.")

Fr. DiPerri's letter on the state of our parish is available here. The parish financials for 2011 can be viewed here.
