Welcome!
Our Lady of Hope Parish is a welcoming community commited to Jesus Christ and to His Gospel. Living His command to love others, we reach out to serve those in need and to become a source of strength and love for our parishioners, visitors, and community. CORI AND PROTECTING GOD’S CHILDREN All volunteers who minister in the Archdiocese must attend the Protecting God’s Children training and complete the Code of Conduct form. In addition, every year all current volunteers and new volunteers must complete a CORI Form. Our Lady of Hope has begun the process for CORI completion for all volunteers and forms are available at the exit of the Church and on the rectory porch. Contact the rectory office to verify your ID (driver's license or passport) once completed. There have been downsides to the Pandemic, but an upside has been online training sessions for the Protecting God’s Children (Virtus) program. Which might be more convenient to those with busy schedules. If you will be volunteering and have not yet attended a training, the Child Advocacy office is now providing ‘live’ weekly PGC trainings on Zoom through Virtus throughout the summer. Just go to the usual Virtus.org, the ‘Live Training’ tab and ‘Pre-register for an upcoming live training session’ – and you will find the schedule for adults to complete their PGC requirement with the Archdiocese of Boston via Zoom (Braintree). You will also see other Live sessions being offered in person throughout the diocese, so if you prefer; you can attend in person at others listed too. If you register for a training, please let us know once completed and forward a copy of your completion certificate to the rectory office.
