We are a community bound together by our common worship. We strive to answer our Lord’s calling to love and serve God through service to others.

When a group of Bostonians first gathered to form the Advent in 1844, they created in her charter a clear objective: “to secure to a portion of the City of Boston the ministrations of the Holy Catholic Church, and more especially to secure the same to the poor and needy, in a manner free from unnecessary expense and all ungracious circumstances.” This objective remains central to our identity as a parish today.
