Cardinal Seán O'Malley has written to pastors and the parishes of the Archdiocese regarding a growing humanitarian and societal crisis that is building in the Commonwealth and Archdiocese of Boston. The issue involves the fate of immigrants arriving daily in Massachusetts, and in need of basic shelter and compassionate care.

September 2023 I recently received a letter from the Cardinal extending my assignment for six more years. My original assignment began August 1, 2017, and ended July 31, 2023.

Scam alert: please be aware that someone pretending to be Fr. Murray is emailing and messaging from a fake account asking for gift cards.

We are in close contact with the Archdiocese and Fr. Murray and are monitoring the progress of our loved ones’ return home.

I mentioned in my annual finance letter that the Cardinal has renewed my appointment at Mary, Queen of Apostles Parish. I am grateful to him for his confidence and the clergy personnel board that recommended this reappointment. I believe that the Cardinal, after looking at all the evidence, realized that while we certainly have come a long way, we still have a ways to go before we can say that every person is engaged as a disciple and living out our faith in the way we are called to do.

Volunteer to welcome guests and visitors of Salem into our church.
