The unilateral decision by Pastor Chris Palladino to lock the doors at Saint Brendan Church in Dorchester on May 31st is causing a great deal of pain to many faithful parishioners and reopening wounds suffered by Catholics who endured the sexual abuse crisis. 

We ask the Archdiocese of Boston to allow Saint Brendan Church to remain open for worship while ensuring all considerations are given to the past, present, and future worshippers at Saint Brendan Church.
