Parish Update September 2020

Leave of Absence

Father Dan requested and has been granted a six-month Health Leave to deal with some health issues. He realizes that the suddenness of his departure may be unsettling to some people but he is confident that he will return more physically and spiritually fit and ready to resume his duties in the spring of 2021. He asks for your prayers and he will remember all of us in his prayers and Masses. 

If you would like to send an encouraging note or card, please direct it to our Parish and it will be sent to him. 

Saint Mary Parish

94 Andover Street

Georgetown MA 01833 

Attention: Father Dan McCoy  

For the next 2 weekends, we welcome Father Guy Sciacca to say Masses. During this time, it will be determined who will be placed here in our parish while Father Dan is away.

We continue forward in our faith during these unusual times. Masses will continue each weekend (see schedule below) so long as we all remain diligent in our efforts to help prevent the spread of Covid 19. 

We are excited to start our Religious Education Program virtually.  Keeping our children in their faith journey is so important.  If you have children to register for classes this year please use the following link:

Our website is currently in process of updating to a much better platform.  We are very excited to launch the new technology and make the website more easily accessible.  October is our expected launch.  Watch for it!

Our Grand Annual Collection will be kicking off later this month.  We ask parishioners to prayerfully consider donations to this fund which is crucial to operating expenses, updates to our buildings, maintaining personnel and promoting our faith and programs.

COVID 19 Update

July 15

We are continuing to work hard at keeping the churches open following the proper procedures for cleaning and sanitation. 

Since the churches have opened, our 2nd graders have received 1st Holy Communion.  We will have Confirmation this weekend for our Confirmation Candidates. Now we will look ahead to plans for the Fall start of our Religious Education Program.  We will be starting the program with students working from home until we know it is safe to go back to classes here at the church.
