It is with great regret that The Board of Directors of the Boston Catholic Cemetery Association must announce the cancellation of our Annual Memorial Day Masses at Mount Benedict and New Calvary Cemetery again this year.

We thank everyone that has supported the Annual Masses for many years.

Our concern for the safety of our families in the current pandemic crisis and the uncertainty of its duration has led to this decision.

We hope to see you on Memorial Day in 2022.

Please stay safe!
