NEW – The Archdiocese of Boston has issued the following statement regarding safety precautions at Masses:

In the light of spiking numbers of new COVID cases and the likely increase in those numbers in the upcoming holiday season, Cardinal Seán is mandating that throughout the archdiocese all people attending public Masses, including weddings and funerals, wear masks. This mandate takes effect the weekend of December 18/19, 2021, and expires on March 3, 2022 [extended date].

Children under the age of five are not required to wear masks. Children under the age of two should not wear masks.

In addition, all churches must continue to provide a designated area in which social distancing is respected for those who want to use it.

Our Socially Distanced Area
St. Francis of Assisi is the ‘CVS’ side wing of the church starting at the front pew.
St. Clare on the Tabernacle side of the church starting at the break and going forward.

The Archdiocese of Boston will remain closely in touch with Governor Baker’s office, and will adjust these protocols, if necessary, in response to any change in the State mandates.

Welcome to Braintree Catholic

A Collaborative of Saint Clare and Saint Francis of Assisi Parishes

St. Francis of Assisi

St. Clare

As the Collaborative of Saint Francis and Saint Clare of Assisi, our purpose is to “build” the Kingdom of God, by sharing our abundant resources, and common geography, in order to create opportunities for all to encounter Jesus Christ in worship, sacrament, and one another. We are called to bring Jesus Christ and His Good News to friend and stranger alike within our existing parishes and into the larger community.

As our patron saints, Saint Clare and Saint Francis, worked in unity to build the Church, our collaborative with pastoral guidance will continually grow and evolve while accepting all where they are on their faith journey.
