The "Church on Arch Street" is a center for the Roman Catholic ministries in Boston, staffed by the Franciscan friars of Holy Name Province. All are welcome. The central focus of the Shrine's ministry has remained constant for 65 years: providing a convenient and prayerful setting for people desiring to praise and worship God—currently through several weekend and weekday Masses, as well as an extensive schedule for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The Shrine also has over 30 outreach and evangelical ministries.
