Action Committee – Alternatives

A group of people interested in examining options for the future survival of the Sacred Heart community is starting to get organized. Some of these options will include working with other committees. None of these questions or options have fixed answers, but the alternatives should be researched to find their implications.

Purchasing the church property and establishing an independent church owned by the members of the Sacred Heart community

Explore how to stay “Catholic”, or whether the community will be allowed to do so.
How would Sacraments be done (baptism, first communion, confirmation, matrimony, confession) if not part of the Boston Archdiocese ?
Is it an acceptable option to separate the faith community from the Boston Archdiocese ?

Purchasing or renting an alternate property, or renting space from a local Temple, just as Jews rented space in churches in many areas before they built their own Temple.
Exploring other ways for this faith community to stay together, even if the doors to the buildings were locked and the property sold.
