The Archdiocese of Boston is requiring masks on all people attending public masses, weddings, and funerals from now through January 17, 2022. There is an exception for children under the age of 5.  A designated area that respects social distancing must also be provided for those who wish to do so.

The Archdiocese of Boston has directed parishes to have a supply of masks for attendees  who are unaware of the mask mandate.
