    We were looking for a 'high' Episcopal church in Newton, and this neighborhood parish in the village of Waban is a gem.

    Beautiful traditional pre-Vatican II church. We attended…read morethe Latin mass which lasted almost 2 hours, but you wouldn't know it while you was there. It was very beautiful. I am new to the Latin mass and would love to keep attending, but because I don't speak Latin I only feel like I'm attending Mass so much. In my humble opinion, it would be nice if the readings were done in English. But they were not. In my humble opinion, it would also be nice if the consecration was read out loud instead of silence. (Even if read out loud in Latin)

    God willing, someday every Mass will be a Latin Mass, and every parish will be as reverent as MIL…read more That said, this parish's compliance with the extreme and insane Covid "mitigation" measures was very disappointing. The pastor knew that masks were pointless and wrote a pastor's note in 2020 to this effect. But the City of Newton was calling the parish to threaten fines and closure if masks were not enforced. So Fr Higgins, admittedly in a difficult position, unfortunately did enforce the mandate, writing in the parish bulletin that anyone not willing to wear a mask should stay out of the church, and enforced the ridiculous, arbitrary Covid capacity limits. The willingness of the despicable Archdiocese of Boston to jump on board with the Covid lunacy was shameful but ultimately consistent with years of chronic betrayal. Far more jarring to the soul was that even the Latin Mass parish was willing to obey what seems to be the only absolute in the RCAB, ie, that appeasing Democrat politicians trumps Truth and the pastoral care of the faithful.
