Share Your Memories

People frequently share stories with us about attending Mass with their parents, grandparents, and other relatives here at St. Anthony Shrine. We’d like to hear about your memories of the Shrine. Perhaps you, too, attended Mass as a child and are still attending Mass with us. Or maybe you stopped in while visiting Boston from another city, state, or country and found a quiet respite.
