Please go to our Mass Sign Up page to sign up for Mass this weekend.

Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Eulalia Parish,
 
This coming week will be my last full week serving here at St. Eulalia Parish.  During the week of August 23 I will be on retreat at the Little Sisters of Saint Francis Guest House in Danville, NH.  This will be followed by a mini vacation – a few days in Maine and several days on Cape Cod.  I hope to be moving into Our Lady of Hope Rectory in Ipswich during the second week of September.  I am writing these notes on Monday evening, August 10.  They are rather brief since the parish is preparing to host the virtual International Fraternity of Priests Conference on August 11/12.  I will continue my remarks next week.    Father John
 
Weekend Masses: Our church building is open for a 4:00 pm Vigil Mass on Saturday and a 10:00 am Sunday Mass.  The usual protocols will be in place.  Because of social distancing there are only 54 places available in the church building.  You must bring a mask with you and if possible hand sanitizer.  Greeters will guide you to an available seat.  Missalettes and hymnals are not in the pews because the virus can remain on them.  There is no congregational singing.  Those receiving communion will be guided row by row, keeping at least six feet between each person.  Communion is in the hand.  At the end of Mass the congregation will leave the church row by row keeping social distancing.  After Mass the church building and rest rooms have to be sanitized.  We are still urging that those 65 and over, those with serious health issues, and those with respiratory problems or compromised immune systems continue to remain at home and view Masses and worship services on social media.     
 
Signing Up for Mass:  If you wish to participate in one of the weekend Masses, you may sign up on our website, on our Facebook page, or call the parish office at 781-729-8220 beginning on the Monday before the weekend you wish to attend. 
 
Holy Communion: On this Sunday, August 16 there will again be an opportunity for you to receive Holy Communion following the 10:00 am live streaming Mass.  You may come to the church building from 11:15 am – Noon.     
 
Confession: You may set up a time with Father John by calling the office at 781-729-8220 or his phone number at 781-369-5244.
            
Volunteers: As we continue to open our church building for weekend Masses, we need seven volunteers for each Mass.   Please call the parish office if you are willing to help. 
 
Join Us in Praying the Rosary: During these difficult days we certainly need prayer.  Come and join with a small group that gathers each evening at 7:00 pm in front of the Our Lady of Fatima Shrine in the parking area.  We walk and pray the Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. 
 

 

The office is open Monday through Thursday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.  .
