St. Mary's on Broadway

About this church

St. Mary's Church on Broadway, at 538 Broadway in Providence, Rhode Island, is a Catholic parish in the Diocese of Providence that celebrates the Traditional Latin Mass. It is staffed by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, and all Masses and sacraments follow the liturgical books of 1962. Sunday Masses are at 7:00 a.m. (Low Mass), 8:30 a.m. (Low Mass, with the Rosary beforehand), and 10:30 a.m. (Sung Mass). Weekday Masses are at 7:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday, with additional Masses at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. Confession is offered before Masses, and Friday adoration runs from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.

The parish dates to 1853, and its Gothic granite church was completed in 1869. Catechism, sacramental preparation, and youth formation are offered. Groups include the Legion of Mary, Holy Name Society, a women's sodality, the Cor ad Cor book club, a servers' guild, the Rosa Mystica girls society, Little Flowers, and a young adults group. Masses are livestreamed on YouTube, though the parish notes that watching online does not fulfill the Sunday obligation. Parking is available on the street, in the lot beside the church, and in the school lot, with weekday restrictions before 8 a.m. The church is generally open for prayer most days. Mass times can change, so confirm on the website.
