The Catholic Parishes of Stoughton

of Stoughton 

New Mask Policy as of May 29^th for the Catholic Parishes of Stoughton

As of Saturday, May 29, masks are no longer required for vaccinated people in the State of Massachusetts. The State does advise that non-vaccinated people continue to wear masks.

As we reopen, we understand that people will be at different levels of comfort and readiness for mask removal and sitting near each other. Please be respectful of each other and the boundaries people will set for themselves and their families.

We encourage parishioners to sit where they feel comfortable at mass. Please continue entering the church through the front doors and exiting the church by the side doors. At this time, we will continue to still use the collection boxes. Please consider signing up for online giving. It is a safe way to consistently support our collaborative.

Our collaborative is made up of many different ministries which strengthen and support our Catholic community. Please be aware that not all our ministries are ready to meet again but please check our website, Facebook page, Flocknote and Bulletin for ministry updates.

The dispensation from the obligation for coming to Sunday Mass has not yet been lifted, and even when it is, if a parishioner is feeling ill, they should remain at home. We will continue to be airing our Sunday mass on our local cable access channel SMAC on Sundays at 8:30am as well as on our Facebook and YouTube pages.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to the parish office.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we maneuver through the lifting of COVID restrictions.
 

If you are unable to attend mass we invite you to watch our Sunday mass on our local cable access station SMAC. SMAC airs our Sunday Mass on Sundays at 8:30 am on Comcast Channel 9 and on Verizon Channel 28.

Marist Mission Cooperative

Since its official recognition by the Church in 1836, the Society of Mary (Marist Fathers and Brothers) has committed itself to the missions in the southwestern Pacific.  Since that time, the Marists have expanded into areas in Africa, Asia, and South America. Today there are nearly 230 priests and brothers working in “bush stations”, teaching in schools and seminaries, ministering in training institutions, providing direct service to the poor, oppressed and marginalized, and contributing to the development of people for a better society and a strong local Church. Contributions to the Marists will help them in their mission of witness to the Gospel, service to the needy, and helping the local Church to build a strong base for its promising future. Thank you for whatever you can do to help them in their life-long commitment and work.

A Second Collection for Marist Mission Cooperative will be taken up the weekend of June 19^th/20^th.
