Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our parish, located in Melrose, Massachusetts. Whether you are visiting for a short while, searching for a spiritual home, returning to your Catholic faith, or simply exploring what our inclusive Catholic community within the American National Catholic Church (ANCC) is all about — we are delighted to welcome you.

A parish is more than a church building; it is a family of believers who support one another, grow together in holiness, and share God’s love with the world. It is a place to deepen your relationship with Christ, live out your faith in meaningful ways, and offer your unique gifts for the good of the community. As a self-governing Catholic jurisdiction (Church), the American National Catholic Church is not affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church or the Archdiocese of Boston.

We would be honored to answer any questions you may have. Until then, we invite you to explore the information and resources provided throughout these pages to get to know us better. If you would like to complete a Newcomer Form, please click HERE.
