(Boston, Massachusetts) March 25, 2005…The Archdiocese of Boston today
announced that Archbishop Sean P. O’Malley, in consultation with Reverend
John O’Brien, Vicar Forane for Quincy, has made provisions for a priest
of the Archdiocese, Reverend Michael Drea, parochial vicar at St. Ann Parish
in Wollaston to celebrate Easter Sunday Mass for the community of the former
Star of the Sea Parish. The special Easter Liturgy will be held in the auditorium

their cooperation and assistance. Mr. Sean Glennon, co-chair of Friends of
the Star of the Sea Committee commented, “In light of our love and respect
for the Church and our desire to experience unity as Catholics, we were pleased
to learn of the Archbishop’s offer to provide for this Mass.” Squantum
Elementary School is located at 50 Huckins Avenue in the Squantum area of Quincy.
