Today we’ve added six new volumes to Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1920 from Our Lady of Perpetual Help (Roxbury). This update adds over 21,300 records and over 76,700 names to search.
The original Our Lady of Perpetual Help church was blessed in 1871, founded by the Redemptorists. It was a mission church, meaning that they only provided the sacraments of communion and reconciliation. As the Catholic population in Mission Hill grew, they needed a new parish church in the area. In 1883, this church joined the Archdiocese of Boston as a “regular canonical parish.” Since its beginning, this church has been known as the Mission Church.
We’d like to thank Sam Sturgis for his help making this parish available on our site. The new volumes are listed below:
