There will be an outdoor Catholic Mass at the Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto Park on Endicott Avenue in Beachmont, Revere, on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 15 at 10 a.m. – rain or shine. There will be seating, music and refreshments at the park following the celebration. Fr. Leonardo will be the celebrant.
The Church was closed in 9/1/2004 and after a nine-year canonical appeal the Church was sold in 2014 to the Menebere Leule Medhane Ethiopan Orthodox Church Inc. The Outdoor mass started back on October 2005 and has been celebrating mass consistently between the park and a local VFW and have had at least one mass each year at least annually since 2014. The park was rededicated in 2013 as property of Immaculate to save the park as a catholic park open to the public
The former parishioners led by Carol Smith of OLL still meet monthly on a Saturday and say the Rosary
A special ‘Thank You’ to all that are assisting – Jim Mercurio, the Beachmont Improvement Committee, the City of Revere and the Mayor and the Knights of Columbus – for their support, as well as the media.
What better way to celebrate Father’s Day than at Mass with the Lord. The Mass is open to all.
