Archdiocese of Boston

Blessed Sacrament Church

"If you are a Catholic in the Parkway, how confident can you be that your parish, whether you attend it or not on a regular basis, will survive the next round of church closings? When other churches closed around us, we heard news interviews and articles about how put out some people were that they or their children would not be able to get married in their soon-to-be-closed church. I wonder how many of those folks were fairly casual in their support of the church, reasoning that the church would always be there for special occasions or when they needed it."
