The mission statement of St. Isidore Parish
St. Isidore Parish is a Catholic faith community committed to helping people deepen their relationship with Christ. The cornerstones of our mission are:
the celebration of the Eucharist,
· Christian service,
· evangelization, and
· religious education for every person.
These are the foundations through which we help people to grow and sustain the excitement of their relationship. We are committed, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to welcoming all to our faith community, seeing Christ in one another and growing in our commitment to be more like Christ, especially in our daily prayer life.
Goal 1 - It is the goal of this parish to strengthen
the faith commitment of the parishioners, both children
and adults, by involving them in opportunities that
will allow them to experience a growth in their
faith. Goal 2 - It is the goal of this parish to develop a
plan to reach out to other parishes within our
cluster. This outreach can be on an informal and/
or formal basis.
Arrangements should be made at least 6 months be-
fore the intended date of the wedding. Please call
the Rectory to schedule your date and make an ap-
pointment to speak with Father Walter or Fr. Paul.
Welcome New Parishioners
Please introduce yourself to Father Walter, Fr. Paul, or
Deacon Charlie. Call or visit the rectory to fill out a
registration card to be included in our database.
The Easter collection for the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust supported the health and well-being of our 628 ac-tive and senior diocesan priests. Thanks to your generosity, our parish raised $ in support of all of our priests who faith-fully serve our Catholic family in the Archdiocese of Boston. Our parish contri-bution will have a significant impact on the care we are able to provide for our priests. If you were out of town this past weekend, or did not have the opportunity to participate, all are welcome to make a donation online at www.clergyfunds.org. On behalf of all our priests, thank you for your generous support of the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust.

Rachel mourns her children; She refuses to be consoled, because her children are no more. Thus says the Lord: “Cease from your cries of mourning. Wipe the tears from your eyes…There is hope for your future.”
