St. Cecilia Roman Catholic Church — Local services in Boston

I am a recovering Catholic and anxious about feeling comfortable and not only do I feel like I am back again, but also in very good company. I've been through many excellent Boston Christian churches and all the white misses this very special RC community, offering so much good contemporary theology, warm fellow communicants all led by a man we love very much as a spiritual guide, homilist, and administrative leader with first class staff. After mass we are hosted in the moden cafe with catered foods. Because of Fr John's down to earth human touch we are a large parish,; for good reasons.
