Greetings from Bow and Arrow Streets! You are missed and you are loved! A few things… there has been quite a bit of spring cleaning in the Parish Center, two members of our Harvard Catholic community were married this week, and we are taking the reigns of becoming more active online and on social media (subscribe to our YouTube Channel! "St. Paul's Harvard Square"), We are also asking that, if you are a regular contributor to the Parish in the Sunday offerings, you please consider switching to digital or online formats to continue your financial giving. We greatly appreciate your support! Click the title for the full message.

Please join the Cardinal during this 5 day virtual Lenten Retreat beginning Monday, March 23 at 7pm. We will be using this opportunity to enter more deeply into Lent and grow in your relationship with Christ.

We’re all juggling new realities and at St. Paul’s we are doing what we can to adjust...We’ve already established ways to reach out to those who may be alone, and I am happy to report a wide network is already in place. If you know someone who is not on the parish email list and would like to be, please send Nancy their address and we will be happy to make that happen.

The present plan is to keep the church open from approximately 8:00am until 6:00pm each day. We will not have scheduled times for Confession. That said: you can reach out to a priest by email and he will be happy to arrange a time for confession.
