A special liturgy to initiate and commence a new beginning of a new parish – Blessed Mother of the Morning Star parish, consisting of St. Mary of the Assumption Church of Revere and Our Lady of Grace of Chelsea/Everett – was held on Thursday, July 1, 2021, at Our Lady of Grace Church. Fr. John Sheridan, pastor, was the presider of the mass that included English and Kreyol readings and hymns. A special collation took place afterward in the lower hall with parishioners from each church enjoying comradery while sampling an assortment of desserts and beverages.
A joyous weekend of celebration is being planned for the weekend of September 25 and 26.
