Welcome to the website of St. Paul Catholic Church in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. We hope you will explore the various features of the site and get to know what St. Paul's is all about. We are an unusual parish in that we include, first, a family of parishioners coming to worship at St. Paul's from the area around Harvard Square as well as from the city of Boston and from many suburbs and even from other states. In addition to our eucharistic celebrations, we offer programs in religious education, special lectures, an active youth group, opportunities for spiritual growth, and volunteer efforts to serve the poor, the hungry, and the suffering.
Music has always been integral to our life at St. Paul's, and so another important part of the parish is the Boston Archdiocesan Choir School, which has been located at St. Paul's since 1963. The Boston Boy Choir (as it is often called) sings at the 11 a.m. Mass on Sundays and on weekdays at the 8 a.m. liturgy and offers concerts at various times during the year.
The third component of St. Paul Parish is the Harvard Catholic Student Center, an active chaplaincy to undergraduates and graduate and professional students at Harvard University and other academic institutions in the area. A special Mass for students is held Sunday evenings at 5 p.m. in the lower church, and other liturgies are celebrated at the various Harvard graduate schools. Please see the links to Harvard Catholic websites.
I invite you to visit St. Paul's when you are in the Cambridge area (a map is available) and to become part of our community of believers. Our website includes a parish calendar that will let you know of the various events taking place at St. Paul Parish. You can also find materials for Parish Stewardship and support.
