WELCOME!
Thank you for your interest in our parish. Whether you’re just visiting us for a brief time, looking for a new parish home or looking to return to the practice of your Catholic faith, we’re happy to have you here. When you attend Mass please take the opportunity to introduce yourself to one of our staff, we would love the opportunity to welcome you and answer any questions you might have or call 978-443-2647.
Masses
In response to COVID-19, we offer both in-person and online worship. In-person requires pre-registration. Please visit our Mass Information page for the latest details.
Message Series
Message Series allow us to delve more deeply into a relevant subject matter, over the course of several weeks, with the hope of growing individually as well as together as a community. Check our current and past Message Series below.
ListenFor Families
If you sit toward the front of the church, it is easier for children to see and hear what is happening. Quietly explaining the Mass and prayers will help them grow in participation.
Children’s Liturgy of the Word
Currently on hold due to COVID-19.
Children’s Liturgy allows the Mass readings to be proclaimed to young children at their own pace and level, for their full participation and understanding of the Word of God. Children who have not yet received first communion are invited to attend Children’s Liturgy. Little ones, babies and toddlers who need to move about are also welcome. They can be accompanied by a parent.

For Adults
Discovering Christ
Discovering Christ is a seven-week experience that invites every person, baptized or unbaptized, to encounter the love of God the Father, enter into or renew a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as God’s children.
The evening includes a shared meal, a 30-minute presentation and concludes with small group discussions.
We offer Discovering Christ twice a year: October and January.
Small Groups
Starting a group with like-minded people can help you feel grounded and connected to what matters in your life.
Small Groups is where our large church gets small. Groups of 6-12 people meet to discuss their faith, go deeper in our weekly message and become more connected to the community. If you are interested in joining a Small Group or starting one of your own, please connect Mary Wessel at mwessel@theascensionparish.com
