Changing Mass Schedule
After comprehensive consultation we have decided to add a THURSDAY 9AM DAILY MASS at St. Theresa’s Parish. This will begin on October 1st, and it is quite providential that Thursday, October 1st is the Feast Day of Saint Theresa of Lisieux.
Another change beginning in October will be that Most Precious Blood’s Sunday 9:30am mass will return to 9AM. The St. Theresa’s Sunday 10:30am mass will remain. The reason for this slight alteration is in order to enable a single priest to celebrate both masses.
Please use the links below to sign up for Mass or review the guidelines for in-person attendance.
Let Your Voice Be Heard – Again
“Say No to ROE”
The state legislature has extended the session until January 5th, 2021. Please remind the members of the Joint Committee on Judiciary that you oppose the expansion of abortion in Massachusetts. Please call the Committee at 617-722-2396 and let them know you are opposed to H3320 and S1209 – the ROE legislation. Every telephone call helps!
Remember these bills would remove:
- The requirement that young girls obtain consent before an abortion
- The requirement that efforts be made to save a living baby who survives abortion
- The requirement that late term abortions be performed in hospitals
- And the bills would allow abortion on demand for all nine months of pregnancy.

Whenever Dover-Sherborn schools are canceled because of bad weather, daily Mass and Religious Education classes will be cancelled and the Parish Offices will be closed at St. Theresa and Most Precious Blood Churches. On the weekends, cancellations will be announced on tv (channels 5 and 7) and there will be a recorded announcement on the parish phones. In the event that there is no power or phone service, the parishes will be closed.
