Beware of scams! Common attempts to steal your money include sending texts or e-mails or social media messages pretending to be from the pastor or another staff member. We would never ask you for a favor or for gift cards or for anything else in such mysterious ways. Always check the sender's e-mail address or phone number to see if it's real, and do not respond to strange requests. If it seems odd, assume it's fake. Stay safe! The Lord bless you.

Our relic collection is now complete and is in a new lighted display case in St Theresa Church. During Mass, a praying mantis came over to spend time with the Saints!

We fondly remember Fr. Vin Gianni, who for a while regularly offered Mass for the parishes in Methuen, including OLGC. Father Gianni passed to the Lord on June 20. Funeral arrangements may be found here:

Friday, May 8 is the first anniversary of the election of Pope Leo XIV. To commemorate this occasion, I will offer morning Mass that day for Pope Leo's intentions (8 AM at St. Theresa). Also, the church bells will ring at 1:15 PM here and around the Archdiocese. If you pray the Liturgy of the Hours, please add the Te Deum to the Office of Readings. Thank you to Archbishop Henning for leading this call to pray for our Holy Father and for our Church!
