From Cardinal Seán's blog

We are pleased that on Monday, the residents and staff of Regina Cleri were inoculated against the coronavirus. This is encouraging because, here in Massachusetts, we are currently experiencing the post-Christmas surge in cases.

DORCHESTER -- St. Katharine Drexel Parish traditionally celebrates the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a prayer breakfast featuring music, a keynote speaker, and readings of excerpts from Dr. King's speeches. This year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, instead of gathering for a meal, the parish held its 36th annual commemoration of Dr. King in a virtual format on Jan. 18, with approximately 100 people participating via Zoom.

BRAINTREE -- Every January, around the time of the annual March for Life and the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, parishes across the archdiocese hold Holy Hours for Life to pray for the unborn and mourn lives lost to abortion. These prayerful gatherings are largely the result of the efforts of deacons, who keep the pro-life cause alive in their communities throughout the year.

BOSTON -- After being in a "partial lockdown" for 10 months, unable to receive visitors or hold community gatherings, the senior priests who live at the archdiocese's Regina Cleri Residence received a sign of hope on Jan 11, when they received the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

As Joe Biden prepared to be inaugurated as the 46th U.S. president, Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, expressed hope the incoming administration "will work with the church and others of goodwill" to "address the complicated cultural and economic factors that are driving abortion and discouraging families."

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Hours before his inauguration as president, Joe Biden and incoming Vice President Kamala Harris were joined by the spouses and congressional leaders from both political parties for what was termed a Mass of thanksgiving early Jan. 20 at St. Matthew Cathedral in Washington.
