Saint Francis Chapel, located inside the Prudential Center mall in the Back Bay section of Boston, offers daily Masses, confessions and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Check out the Saint Francis schedule below to see when each is offered, as well as the Chapel’s hours.
Changes to Public Gatherings
Due to the coronavirus outbreak, Cardinal O’Malley has announced the cancellation of Masses until further notice, effective at 4:00 pm on March 14.
St. Francis Chapel is closed during this time. Each intention for upcoming Masses at the chapel will be prayed for at a Mass celebrated in private by an Oblate priest.
