Pastoral Planning Collaborative A committee of lay people and some priests has been appointed by Cardinal O’Malley to make recommendations on how best to utilize the priests, staff, and financial resources of the parishes of the Archdiocese of Boston in the upcoming years. A proposal from the Archdiocese was recently given to the preists in our region regarding a proposed clustering of parishes. Read more about this in a letter to parishioners from Fr. DiPerri. |

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 unregistered. 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 online or fill out the form in the back of the church.
Also if you have changed your address or email address, please call Sharon or email her so she can change the email address on file. |
