One Parish. One School. One Faith Community.
Serving Lowell and Dracut
Since 1883
One Parish. One School.
One Faith Community.
Rooted in our sacramental celebrations of the Eucharist, we seek to shape our future in a positive way through our parish school, religious education, youth ministry programs and numerous Christian services. While maintaining a strong sense of Catholic tradition, we look for ways to revitalize our Christian values through more openness to God's word and our gospel call to love God and neighbor. Trusting in the Holy Spirit, we seek new ways of being a church for members, active or not, as well as reaching out to the wider community.

The Catholic Appeal
Forward in Faith
Once a year, Catholics in the Archdiocese are asked to join together to support their parish and the greater Church by contributing to the Catholic Appeal. Many of you have received a letter from our new archbishop, Richard G. Henning, inviting you to join him in offering early support to the 2025 Appeal. We hope you will respond to his invitation with a generous gift, knowing that each contribution has a significant impact on the lives of thousands across the Archdiocese of Boston. You can make a gift by returning your pledge card or by making an online donation at www.bostoncatholicappeal.org
For those who have already made a gift, thank you! Your generosity moves us all forward in faith.
