Attending Mass
The following guidelines have been implemented to help keep us all safe.
To allow for social distancing, we have limited capacity at our churches.
For our weekend Mass schedule, please visit our website at www.Medford Collaborative.org or call the
parish office at 781-396-0423 x 103, Monday-Friday, 9am - 12noon.
Our daily Mass schedule is as follows: Monday, Wednesday & Friday at St. Joseph and Tuesday,
Thursday & Saturday at St. Francis of Assisi
Everyone should wear a mask unless they are unable to due to a medical condition.
Everyone must practice “social distancing” - standing/sitting 6 feet apart.
For your safety, doorknobs and surfaces are sanitized regularly.
If you are not feeling well, please stay at home.
Sunday Masses will continue to live stream at 10am from St. Joseph Church on our website.
Both churches will be open for Confessions on Saturdays from 3pm-3:45pm.
The dispensation from the Sunday Mass obligation will continue for the foreseeable future. Cardinal Seán strongly encourages people in vulnerable populations, especially the elderly and those with complicating physical conditions, to continue to watch Mass from their homes.

Our next meeting of the Collaborative Book Club:
Tuesday, July 7, 2020 at 7:00 pm Via Zoom
Our next book to read and share in discussion is:
MERCY
What every Catholic should know By Father Daniel Moloney
We are delighted to welcome Father Moloney to our Book Club meeting! He will join our discussion to answer questions and share insights about his book.
We have a limited number of copies of the book available for purchase at the Parish Office at a cost of $12.00 each.
If you are interested in joining the Collaborative Book Club or participating in our next meeting, please contact the Parish Office to sign up. We look forward to seeing you!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Father Moloney is a priest for the Archdiocese of Boston, currently serving as the Catholic Chaplain at MIT. He is a priest in residence at our very own St. Francis of Assisi Parish.
EDITORIAL REVIEW: “What mercy is, and
what its place in the Christian life is, is not always clear and is often beset with misconceptions. Now comes a book to tell us what it is, one written with
the unusual blend that only a few writers like C.S. Lewis managed to create -- namely, one of the profundity of the great Christian thinkers and of
the simplicity and clarity that can reach readers of all kinds. Fr. Moloney explains what mercy means in politics and prayer, in criminal justice and the
confessional, and, most of all, how all Christians can grow in mercy." --Daniel Philpott, Professor
of Political Science, University of Notre Dame.
William Casey Thomas Monahan
We remember in our prayers William and Thomas, and all our parishioners who have passed away during this difficult time.
Please see the Memorial Wall on our website.
MAY THEY REST IN PEACE
