Christmas at Holy Mothers Collaborative 2020

December 4, 2020 Dear Parishioners, Over the past few weeks, I have consulted with the Collaborative Staff, Parish Council, and Archdiocese in preparation for making a decision regarding Christmas Masses. After prayerful consideration, we have decided that there will be no in-person Masses on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day at the Holy Mothers Collaborative this year. We believe that offering Mass online is the safest and most pastoral route. I hope you understand how difficult this decision is.    We will have two Christmas Masses which will be live-streamed at 4:00 p.m. and Midnight on Christmas Eve. We pray you will join us online for one of these livestream Masses. The Christmas Eve Mass recordings will remain available online for those who would prefer to watch Mass on Christmas Day. CatholicTV will also be offering Christmas Mass with Cardinal Seán or the Holy Father.   Over the years, we have been very generous to our community and our friends in Dorchester through the Giving Tree. Since we are not able to do our traditional Giving Tree this year, we are asking that parishioners drop off a monetary donation or gift card to Target, Walmart, Shaw's, or Stop & Shop. Donations can be dropped off at Saint Mary's Parish Center during business hours. Please be assured of our prayers for a merry Christmas and a happy and holy New Year, as we pray together asking God to bring peace and an end to these difficult days.  Sincerely yours in Christ, Father Chris Hickey
