If you'd like to join us at the 11 am Mass any Sunday—other than July 19 and August 16, when our Youth Choir sings—join us at 10:15 am in the Parish Center (2nd floor, meeting room 10). No experience necessary, no commitments beyond the Mass you attend. Just come ready to praise God and have fun!

Pastoral MessageJuly 5, 2026
Pastoral Update: Fr. Chris Wallace
It is with grateful hearts that we announce that Fr. Chris Wallace, recently assigned as Pastor of All Saints in Haverhill, has been
assigned as our new Parochial Vicar. Although he will be in residence at the St. Mary Rectory, he will not be taking an active role in ministry until September, at earliest.
Back in November of last year, Fr. Chris was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, and since December, has been out of active ministry in order to give full attention to his medical care. His last chemotherapy treatment, to which he was responding well, was in May, and last Friday, June 26, he underwent a PET Scan to learn whether continued treatment would be needed.
We are happy to share that Fr. Chris is in remission!
However, we would like to remind you that he will not actively enter parish life until this fall (September/October). He will be using the summer months to rest and rebuild build his immune system.
We eagerly await his entrance into parish life here in the Collaborative!
Let us continue to keep Fr. Chris in prayer.

Prayer for Healing
HEAVENLY FATHER,
I come before You with a heart full of faith and trust in Your power to heal.
Lord, You are the ultimate source of comfort and strength.
I surrender my pain, my worries, and my fears into Your hands.
I ask that You touch me with Your healing hand, renew my strength, and fill me with peace.
Help me to trust in Your plan for my life, knowing that You are the Great Physician.
AMEN.
Recent Funerals
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
