Please join us for a town hall meeting on Thursday, March 13th at 7:00pm in the Parish Center. The purpose of the meeting will be to learn more about the plans and ask questions. We will have architectural drawings on display and provide an update on our fundraising to date.

We will officially launch the 2025 Catholic Appeal the weekend of March 15-16. We hope and encourage you to join in making a gift to this year’s Catholic Appeal.

For those who have already made a gift, we are grateful. We are hoping to have 100% participation from our parish! When we reach our Appeal goal, our parish will receive funds back for our local programs and ministries. To make an online gift, please visit: www.bostonsbasilica.com/appeal
