Pentecost Sunday May 31, 2020

A Lengthy but Important Letter on A Major Decision on the Future of

St. Ann and St. Brendan Parishes. Please Read.

FROM FATHER BRIAN

First, I want to thank everyone who has offered their prayers during my stem cell transplant. I felt them very much and they helped me

in many moments during the past few months. I am on my way to stable health and hope to return to the rectory within the coming

weeks. It has been quite a “trip” not only enduring the treatment itself which had many up and down days, but also dealing with the

on-going course of the pandemic. It’s hard enough to “feel” separated from you; and worse, to “be” separated from you. Again, my

heartfelt gratitude. God willing, I will be back working in a few weeks.

I want to acknowledge the “journey” we are going through, not only as families, workers, neighbors, but also as a faith community.

Who could have ever imagined this experience? It has been a heavy burden for you and all priests who miss serving you. Our minis-

try is who we are. At the same time, trying to keep in contact through the Flock Notes, etc., I hope has offered some connection. My

prayers are for everyone who is suffering because of the virus, especially for your family members and friends who have contracted

the disease. I pray for relief for those suffering mentally, physically, spiritually and financially.

FROM FATHER BOB

With the pandemic arriving, the task as Administrator, added to my other ministry, was a less time-consuming, but I am glad to do it. I

want to thank the staff, the Leadership and the people of both parishes for their prayers – for me, and especially for Fr. Brian. These

are very difficult times to journey through and praying with/for each other is important. It is a time of openness and trust in the Holy

Spirit. I hope you and your families are doing well. I know you look forward to Fr. Brian’s return, but even in his absence, critical

issues arise and must be addressed with urgency. We are fragile and have no choice.

* * * * * * *

This letter is to inform you that we are in a high-risk financial situation threatening our sustainability and causing us to make

a difficult decision regarding the relationship between the two parishes – the same challenge being faced by many parishes in

the Archdiocese. With the consultation and consensus of the Leadership, we are asking the Cardinal to merge St. Ann and St.

Brendan Parishes into one new parish retaining the two worship sites. For the future of the Catholic presence in the area this

action must be taken. We thank the Leadership for their prayerful, thoughtful and clear advice in this matter. It is no surpr ise

we are struggling just as many of you are struggling. The goal is to retain the Catholic presence in our neighborhoods. Let’s review

our ministry with you for the past two years, so you can appreciate coming to this decision.

Two years ago, the Archdiocesan concluded that neither parish could survive financially—the debt being incurred was overwhelming.

Almost $300K was borrowed from the Archdiocese to meet operating expenses, just to keep going; the situation was dire. Both parish-

es were facing diminishing cash on hand and the Archdiocese might have to come in and close both—which no one wanted. Rather

than enact that painful decision, acknowledging the frequent change of pastoral leadership, knowing the painful past experiences of

both parishes, and not wanting to lose the Catholic presence in this area, the Archdiocese assigned two “well-seasoned” priests as co-

pastors to observe, judge and act - to try their best to revitalize the parishes. One last try. That decision was made “for” you. We were

not sent here to close the parishes, but just the opposite, to do what we could do to keep that presence. Finances were strained; repairs

increasing; most of all, participation was dropping.

We carry an insurmountable debt of $900K+ ($300K+ at St. Ann; $600K+ at St. Brendan with the school). [Note: the loans come

from funds deposited by other parishes. We owe, not the “Archdiocese”, but our sister parishes. We used their money to keep operat-

ing.] More distressing, we cannot address the huge deferred maintenance as the buildings continue to deteriorate at an alarming rate,

raising some safety concerns. With little cash reserves, no more loans from the Archdiocese and the unknown consequences of the

virus, we need to work together for the Church community, assess future property use and act in the interest of the parishioners. We all

know our financial situation was tentative. We feared that a major unforeseen expense would be a problem. Who would have ever

expected that a pandemic would force us to this hard decision?

Honestly, at the beginning of this year, even before the virus, after significant efforts, exhausting ideas on many fronts from incredibly

passionate and dedicated people - we were in a more fragile position than we were two years ago. Above all, the decreased attendance,

coupled with a strained cash flow - even using half of an additional $200K line-of-credit (we spent only $50K/each thanks to the extra

$100K raised by the Gala) - hampered efforts at outreach and the ability to do any repairs. Due to the virus consequences, the Archdio-

cese is now incapable of providing any more money and has canceled the remaining $100K. [On a good note, we received the SBA/

PPP loans to cover all payroll for two months.] Still, the national trend is foreboding. Every social survey confirms a continued drop in

religious affiliation and active participation. Those predictions describe us – parishes with fewer younger people.

Pentecost Sunday May 31, 2020

Last Fall, Fr. Brian proposed to your leadership that it was time to consider consolidating both parishes into one. Then, his sick-

ness prevented further detailed discussion. Now, because of the virus, our situation is critical because of three realities: First, as

noted above, prior to the virus, decreasing attendance and income has flattened or lowered. Second, the buildings are in serious

disrepair. Third, we have a challenging high debt. In the wake of the pandemic, all forecasts predict a very slow phased-in recov-

ery. We are not alone. Over half the parishes in the Archdiocese expect to face a crisis both in returning attendance and financial

solvency. We need to prepare for the future.

A merger allows us a consolidation of effort, combining all the assets and liabilities of both parishes, and the ability to work to-

gether to build the local church. Note that both worship sites remain – in fact, both church names remain. The merger will mean

a new “parish” name (to be determined). This hard decision is also based on a “Long-term Feasibility Study” done for us by the

Archdiocese addressing all areas of collaboration with the conclusion that closing a campus had to be considered. The Leader-

ship disagreed with the conclusion and stressed a merger must keep the two worship sites. With dwindling cash flow, attendance

numbers uncertain; going forward, a merger provides hope to sustain a Catholic presence.

These past two years, to meet our needs, so many have worked beyond what anyone could expect. Your Leadership has met for

over thirty times. We held four open meetings to update you, had constant discussions – with agreement and disagreement – and

above all, were willing to accept the ideas which surfaced in almost every case. Trying to get people back to church, raising mon-

ey, esp. with the Gala, was persistent. One effort/idea came after another. No one should feel bad about the efforts. They were

wonderful. But apart from a spike here and there (the curve if you will), the energy and effort in both parishes has been carried

on by a small group of people who have worked hard; yet, factually, we have about the same average attendance but less income

now than we did two years ago.

We are aware there will be negative reactions to this change. We know the emotional depth of both communities for their parish.

We fully appreciate that merging is difficult to accept. Above all, we are very sorry to bring this matter to you during the COVID

-19 crisis. It is not the best time, but we have no choice. Time is running out. It’s projected each parish will lose $7K-$8K a

month and could run out of savings within a year or so. We need to prepare for where we expect to be a year and a half from

now, because the deficit in finances and the deterioration of buildings continues. Asking the Cardinal to approve a merger is

moving forward in a positive and proactive way.

We brought this decision to your Leadership and proposed we act decisively: First, to ask the Cardinal to merge the two parishes

into one parish. [Note: this is critical for the school. If an “independent” St. Brendan Parish closes, then the parish school closes.

If the parishes merge, the new parish assumes the responsibility for the school.] Second, there will be a time-sensitive urgency to

engage in serious discussions leading to informed decisions regarding pastoral care, staffing, sale/lease of buildings and finances,

the result of which will mean significant changes as our new parish grows. One praying community – with two sites - together -

can support and nourish an active faith life for everyone.

We have worked well with your volunteer Leadership for over two years. They know the facts; they are well informed;

they understand the consequences. We accept their unanimous consensus that a merger take place with the following

understanding: (1) they strongly support maintaining two worship sites; (2) St. Brendan's school remains open as long as

it is financially viable (see above - a merger is a safeguard!); (3) The new parish can sell properties to address the debt

and deferred maintenance. They agree that the financial problem is our costs are projected to exceed our revenues for an

extended period because of the pandemic and that there are insufficient reserves to allow us to ride out the crisis. The

merger only allows the two parishes to access each other's current bank accounts and does nothing to address a negative

revenue problem, nor the decreasing attendance. But, in working together, a merger gives us promise. To assure a Catho-

lic presence remains, we can do more together than separate. It is a challenge and they are accepting the challenge to ad-

dress the high-risk realities that face us after the merger takes place. They are a faithful, hopeful group working to rep-

resent you – and they do it well. Their emails are listed on the next page for your response. We are grateful for their will-

ing to risk with courage and determination, and trust in the Lord.

A parish is not its buildings, nor its bank accounts - it is the people of God. It is about growing in faith. Yes, money is a problem;

it is not the solution nor our goal – an active Catholic presence IS our goal! We hope this merger will be approved by the end

of June so that we can work this summer on solutions moving forward. We will keep you informed. Also, we apologize, but

know that this less-than-ideal method of communicating such a major change was not our preference, but with the shutdown

and an unpredictable future, it is necessary. We can’t wait! Time eats away at our resources. We ask you to trust in the Lord who

is with us always. Easter Jesus is our Hope! The Holy Spirit is our Guide! May God continue to be with you and your family

during this viral crisis. Thank you for listening. Peace.

Pentecost Sunday May 31, 2020

We Celebrate Together Again

1. We begin Mass at the 4pm Mass at St. Brendan on Saturday, May 30.

The requirements are many – all for the safety of those attending Mass. There are 19 items to address on

the State Checklist that must be fulfilled BEFORE opening.

2. With all the details to fulfill, esp. cleaning, etc. we will have a mitigated schedule:

4pm Saturday at SB; NO 7:30am at SA; 9:00am at SB and 10:30am at SA. This schedule will be

reviewed after we have worked out any kinks and problems.

3. VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED. Without a enough volunteers to help at each liturgy with

welcoming and cleaning after each mass, we can’t have Mass. This is a time to step up and help

everyone. Thank you.

***Please email [email protected] OR call the office 617-436-0310 and leave a

message. We need to have 6 volunteers (2 welcome; 4 cleaning) at each Mass. We need 12 at least at SB

and 6 at least at SA. AND, we actually need double that so no one is working every weekend. This is a

community effort and we ask for your help. There will be a training session for all volunteers.

4. We will NOT be moving up and down this summer. Distancing, etc. at SB Hall is impossible and there

will be more seating upstairs than down at both churches.

5. MORE INFORMATION COMING. Please let the elderly in your neighborhood know of these

notes. Many may not have email. Your generosity is crucial currently. Remind them that it is o.k. not to

come to mass if they feel uncomfortable.

6. A FEW GENERAL NORMS

a. Seating is all by safe distancing throughout the church. Families can sit together. We ask that everyone

use the front seats first and fully, so we minimize the cleaning after Mass.

b. You must wear a mask at Mass. Don’t forget to bring one. No mask; no entry. Sorry.

c. One door in; one door out – all will be designated. There are no more missalettes; no singing for the

foreseeable future. Communion will be unique and safe for all. Baskets at entrance will be for your

offertory. NO collections will take place.

d. Vulnerable people should feel comfortable NOT coming if they are worried. Do not come if you

are ill in any way. Protect others.

e. RESERVATIONS may be necessary. We don’t know yet, but only so many people can enter.

7. DAILY MASS will begin on June 1 at St. Brendan Church (not chapel). As before, no Mass of

funerals on Wednesdays. Because of cleaning restrictions, we will celebrate Mass at St. Brendan for the

foreseeable future. Again, all attending are to move to the front of the church. Cleaning every day has to

take place.

MORE TO COME… Stay tuned and watch for our emails.

WE ARE ANXIOUS TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AGAIN.

God bless you all.

Fr. Brian and Fr. Bob
