For those travelling in Massachusetts, Mary Immaculate of Lourdes is a good church to know about. We visited this church yesterday for the 10:30 am Sunday Traditional Mass. Well-attended, with an altar boy count to rival St. Mary’s Norwalk, and a choir that skillfully performed all of the ordinaries of the Palestrina Missa Sine Nomine (including the Credo). Close to the Massachusetts Pike and I-95—we’ll remember this church for our next trip.
The bulletin says this about the parish: “A canonically open parish of the Archdiocese of Boston, which has a Traditional Latin Masss apostolate. Both the ordinary form of the Roman Rite and the extraordinary form are celebrated here with the blessing of His Eminence Sean Cardinal O’Malley.” The church also offers daily Traditional Masses.
It’s a beautiful Roman-style church with exquisite stained glass windows.
Many windows are copies of familiar paintings—here is Raphael’s Sistine Madonna
