Welcome to Our Lady of Grace and Saint John the Evangelist collaborative parishes!


     Announcements 



We have added two additional Masses on Easter Sunday (to help reduce traffic congestion around the parking lots): 9am Mass at St. Joseph Church (Pepperell) and 11am Mass at St. John the Evangelist Church (Townsend). These additional Masses will be “low” (without music).

Please note the additional confession times during Holy Week:

1pm to 3pm on Good Friday at St. James Church (Groton)

After the 7pm celebration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday at St. James Church (Groton)

Because of the Mass of the Lord’s Supper at Saint John the Evangelist (Townsend) on Holy Thursday, there will be no Holy Hour or confessions at the usual 6pm time at Saint Joseph Church (Pepperell).

Please note: the collaborative office will be closed on Good Friday (3/29).
