Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted Parish

About this church

Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted Parish is a Waltham Catholic community rooted in the Eucharist, sacramental worship, music, formation, and care for people who are homebound. The parish’s music ministries include an adult choir spanning traditional and contemporary Catholic repertoire and a youth choir connected with local students and Our Lady’s Academy. Parish history and ministry pages place those programs within an established local Catholic community.

The Saturday Vigil Mass begins at 4:00 p.m., with Sunday Masses at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. Confession is offered Saturday from 2:45 to 3:15 just inside the main church entrance. Daily Mass begins at 8:30 a.m.; the parish explicitly cancels it when Waltham Public Schools close or are delayed for bad weather, and funerals or school services can also affect the weekday schedule. The youth choir rehearses Sunday at 8:15 before singing at 9:00, while the adult choir rehearses at 10:15 before the 11:00 Mass. Visitors should use the live Mass-times page for intentions and exceptions rather than interpreting a dated intention as a new schedule. Homebound ministry provides a connection route for parishioners unable to attend.
