St. Clare's and St. Francis of Assisi and are among several parishes across the state pooling resources as part of a restructuring effort.
The Archdiocese of Boston has announced that Reverend Paul T. Clifford will oversee St. Clare's and St. Francis of Assisi in Braintree as part of an effort to pool resources within the state’s Catholic churches.
The church announced several of the leadership roles this week, including in Milton, Quincy and Hanover, the Boston Globe reported.
The Braintree churches are among 44 parishes that will team together as part of an effort that Archdiocese Director of Pastoral Planning Fr. Paul Soper said last fall is a directive of Cardinal Sean O’Malley and Pope Francis I within the archdiocese called “Disciples in Mission – A Pastoral Plan for the Archdiocese of Boston.”
The collaboratives will begin on June 3, 2014, and will not mean closings.
