The South Boston Seaport Catholic Collaborative (SBS Catholic), which includes St. Peter, St. Vincent de Paul, and St. Monica-St. Augustine parishes has many exciting and relevant changes in store for August.
Tuesday, August 14th, from 5 pm to 7 pm, is the next Peace Picnic. This is held on the grounds of St. Monica-St. Augustine church. The Peace Picnic provides an oasis of calm where individuals and families, including those battered by stress can be renewed by the hospitality of our faith community and enjoy the company of many friendly faces.
On Saturday, August 18, St. Monica-St. Augustine parish will kick off a week-long celebration of the feast days of the saintly mother and son the parishes are named after. The first annual Feast of St. Monica-St. August will begin on the 18th with a yard sale on the grounds of St. Monica’s, 10 am to 4 pm. Then on Saturday, August 25th, there will be a festival on the grounds of St. Monica’s with food, music, games, and activities. The entire South Boston community is invited to these events.
Additionally, the SBS Catholic offices at 307 West Broadway will be moving by the end of August to the lower church hall of St. Peter’s, at 75 Flaherty Way. We apologize for any disruption this will cause but are excited by the opportunity this will afford our neighbors. We will maintain a presence at the church and even be able to open the doors during the day time like the olden days, when you could walk into a church and say a prayer.
The St. Peter-St. Vincent de Paul communities worship at St. Peter’s parish every Saturday at 5 pm, and Sundays at 9 am and 11 am. The 11 am Mass is the Lithuanian liturgy. The St. Monica-St. Augustine communities worship every Sunday at 10:30 am and 12:30 pm. The 12:30 pm Mass is the Spanish liturgy. All are welcome at every one of these liturgies.
