GOOD News! Pastors Assigned to St. Julia Parish

Archbishop Henning has appointed Father Scott Euvrard as the next pastor of St. Julia Parish (St. Julia and St. Joseph churches).

 

Currently Father Euvrard is Pastor of St. Anthony Parish in Cohasset and St. Mary in Hull. Additionally, Father Euvrard will serve as Episcopal Vicar of the West Region of the Archdiocese of Boston. Father Euvrard will begin this assignment on June 24, 2026.   Read more about Father Euvrard below in his personal introduction.

 
 
 

In addition, for a few weeks prior to Fr. Euvrard’s arrival, Father Paul Soper, Secretary for Ministerial Personnel of the Archdiocese, will administer the parish where he will remain in residence to assist in its pastoral care.

Most recently, Archbishop Henning has also assigned Fr. Giris Azize (one of five deacons ordained as Priests on Saturday, May 16th) to St. Julia Parish effective June 24th as well. Read more about Fr. Azize, a Deacon introduced in The Pilot’s article ‘Ordination Class of 2026’ here: https://www.thebostonpilot.com/article.php?ID=202423

St. Julia Parish looks forward to welcoming both Fr. Euvrard (photo left) and Fr. Azize in June!

 

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

A Brief Introduction from Fr. Scott Euvrard

I grew up as the oldest of six children in the small, north central Massachusetts town of Athol. When Bishop Bernard Flanagan, then the Bishop of Worcester Diocese, visited Athol, he would always (always!) say, “Athol is in the middle of Catholic!” cATHOLic! With the Miller’s River running through Athol, it was the ideal spot for factories. There were two major tool-making factories when I was growing up, Starrett Tools and Union Twist Drill. Starrett Tools, where my father, mother, and brother worked, is still there. The town has a big canoe race (The River Rat Race, 300+ canoes) every April. I was never in a canoe for the race, but was in the accompanying parade as a member of the marching band for Athol High School, from where I graduated in 1980. I’ll save you from doing the math; I’ll soon be 64-years-old!

My dad, Leon, died in September 2014, and my oldest sister Lynne, who had been living in Madrid, Spain for 30+ years, died on April 27, 2025. My mom, Gloria, still lives in Athol, and my siblings (Jeanne, Craig, Mark, and Dawne) live either in north-central Massachusetts or south-western New Hampshire. I’ve lost track of how many nieces and nephews, and grandnieces and grandnephews I have!

I went to Mount Union College in Alliance, Ohio, to study music education. I play (sadly not in many years) the french horn, or the horn as the purists would say. They granted me a Bachelor of Music Education Degree, summa cum laude, in 1984. After teaching music in public schools and the South Shore YMCA for a few years, I entered St. John Seminary (where Bishop Reed will now be the Rector!) in the fall of 1989. I was ordained a priest of Jesus Christ for the Archdiocese of Boston on May 21, 1994. I have served parishes in Lowell, Lynn, Needham, and Sharon, and parish collaboratives in Amesbury-Salisbury and Cohasset-Hull.

Though sad to leave my current assignment, I am energized by my new assignments as Pastor for St. Julia Parish and Episcopal Vicar for the West Region of the Archdiocese of Boston. The West region includes 40 cities and towns and 60 parishes. 7 of the parishes have schools. I can’t wait to meet everyone! 

— Father Scott

The Eucharist is the central part of our Catholic faith because it is Jesus, present with us here on earth today. The Eucharist is Jesus’ greatest expression of His love for us.

CATHOLIC Corner: Basic Teachings of the Catholic Church

The Catechism

The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains the essential and fundamental content of the Catholic faith in a complete and summary way.  It presents what Catholics throughout the world believe in common. The content of the Catechism is faithful to Apostolic Tradition, Scripture and the Magisterium. It incorporates the heritage of the Doctors, Fathers, and Saints of the Church and illuminates with the light of faith, contemporary situations, problems and questions. It serves as a teaching and study tool for all believers. 

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is arranged around four pillars or parts:

  • The Profession of Faith

  • The Celebration of the Christian Mystery

  • Life in Christ

  • Christian Prayer

 

The entire Cathechism is available online.  Each week we will explore segments from the Catechism.

REV. Mark A. Mahoney, St. Julia Parish Pastor

In Memory

St.Julia Parish is deeply saddened by the passing of our Pastor, Fr. Mark Mahoney who served our parish from 2017 – 2025.  May his soul rest in eternal peace.  Remembrances of Fr. Mark, here. 

(An archived recording can be viewed here. Click on ‘Playlist’ at top right of screen image, scroll down menu, click to view): Saturday, November 22nd – “Fr. Mark Mahoney Funeral’.  Friday, November 21st:  Rite of Reception of the Body at 2:30pm, with Wake followed from 3 – 7pm.

 

Obituary: Father Mark A. Mahoney, pastor of St. Julia in Weston, MA (Friday 28th of November 2025), by Father Robert M. O’Grady, The Pilot 

An overcast and misty morning of Nov. 22, 2025, greeted the people of St. Julia Parish, Weston, for the funeral Mass of their much-beloved pastor, Father Mark A. Mahoney. Father Mahoney had died on Nov. 10, 2025, at Regina Cleri Residence, Boston, where he had gone for respite care only a week prior. He had been diagnosed with an aggressive colon cancer only about six weeks before that. Despite his own determination and expert medical attention, the diagnosis was too late, and he received the news with an equanimity of spirit and a serene and holy resignation to the inscrutable ways of Divine Providence.
Father Mahoney was born in Boston on April 20, 1960, the youngest of the eight children of the late Bradford and Anne (Bell) Mahoney. Two siblings, Bradford and Kevin, predeceased him. He is survived by his five other siblings: Andrea Viecelli, Goldsborough, N. C.; Maureen Zimmerman and Patricia Smith, both of Naples, Fla.; Brian, Sarasota, Fla.; and Michael, Waltham.
 
Mark was raised in Needham, a son there of St. Joseph Parish. He graduated from the parish grammar school in 1974, and Xavierian Brothers High School, Westwood, in 1978. He then entered the archdiocesan seminaries at Brighton, completing his college formation in 1982 and entering the theology program, which he completed in 1986.
 
Bernard Cardinal Law ordained him to the priesthood at Holy Cross Cathedral on June 7, 1986, following theology studies at St. John, and gave him his first priestly assignment as a parochial vicar at St. Joseph Parish, Wakefield.
 
Five years later, following happy years with the people in Wakefield, he was back at his alma mater, Xaverian Brothers High School as chaplain. He lived in residence at the rectory of Mary Immaculate Parish, Newton. His heart was always in parish life, and just a year later, he returned to parish ministry as parochial vicar at St. Mary Parish, Holliston.
 
Seven years later, he was assigned to the staff of the Metropolitan Tribunal with residence at Holy Name Parish, West Roxbury, and at St. Peter Parish, Cambridge. During the years 1999 through early 2007, he would fulfil various canonical responsibilities at the Tribunal, including advocate, judge, and judicial vicar (2024 to 2007).
 
For two years (2001-2002), he was a student in canon law at the Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C., living at the then-Divine Word Residence, which is now the administrative office and residence for the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA.
 
During his tribunal ministry, he was also the administrator of St. Joseph Parish, Lincoln. Little did he realize then that the parish would be suppressed and eventually aggregated to St. Julia Parish, Weston.
The metropolitan tribunal’s ministry extends to many areas of church or canon law, but it is mostly concerned with judging matrimonial cases submitted through a precise process. While it can seem very remote from “real” priestly ministry, Father Mahoney excelled at making this often-difficult task a means of healing for petitioners and respondents.
 
In 2007, Cardinal Seán P. O’Malley named him pastor of St. Rose of Lima Parish in Topsfield. He was delighted to be back in parish life and brought his usual zeal and attention to the parish. He took care of the physical plant and more importantly of the spiritual and faith lives of the parishioners. In whichever parish he was assigned, he was convinced that the pastor should make the assignment his home. He was notorious for rarely being absent from the parish, and even on days off, was present and answering phones and doorbells. In addition to upgrades to parish buildings, he also expanded the parish religious education program. He also served as the vicar forane for Vicariate IV of the North Region, and as administrator pro-temp at Our Lady of Hope Parish, Ipswich.
 
A new challenge greeted him when, in 2013, he was named pastor of a three-parish “collaborative” in Beverly. It comprised the parishes of St. John the Evangelist, St. Margaret of Scotland, and St. Mary Star of the Sea. Bringing three quite independent parishes together was a challenge and it was difficult for Father Mahoney; however, by determination and deft administration and pastoral sensitivity, he succeeded and also successfully merged the parish schools of St. John and St. Mary parishes into a single school, which is doing well today.
 
On June 1, 2017, Cardinal O’Malley named him pastor of St. Julia Parish in Weston, which now includes, as mentioned above, St. Joseph Church, in nearby Lincoln.
 
The Weston parish plant is unassumingly set on Boston Post Road in the town center. There is a stone church and a parish center complete with function facilities and classrooms for parish religious education and formation programs, as well as office space. This joins the rectory, but the spaces are separated by common access and offices. Father Mahoney seemed to have arrived at last where he could be pastor and shepherd to his flock.  Since 2017, he has brought his unique gifts and talents and style of pastoral care to Weston.
 
His funeral Mass was celebrated with Archbishop Richard G. Henning as the principal celebrant. Joining him were 50 concelebrants, among them Archbishop Christopher Coyne, Hartford, a seminary classmate; Bishop-designate of Albany Mark O’Connell, fellow canon lawyer; designated concelebrants were Msgr. Kevin J. O’Leary, rector of the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Boston; Father Michael J. Doyle, pastor of St. Richard of Chichester and of St. Mary of the Annunciation parishes, both in Danvers, who was also the homilist; Father James J. Laughlin, pastor of St. John the Evangelist and of St. Paul parishes, both in Wellesley, close friend and also fellow canonist; and Father Kevin G. Toomey, senior priest of the archdiocese and administrator of St. Julia Parish.
 
Other concelebrating priests included pastors of neighboring parishes: Father Michael Nolan, St. Mary, Waltham; Father Bryan Parrish, St. Joseph, Needham; and Father David O’Leary, Holy Family Concord and St. Irene, Carlisle. The faculty of the two seminaries, where Father Mahoney had also taught canon law, were represented by Msgr. Stephen Salocks, rector, and Father Frank J. Silva, of St. John Seminary, Brighton; and Msgr. William P. Fay and Father Joseph Zwosta, Pope St. John XXIII National Seminary, Weston, both of whom are regular assisting priests at St. Julia. Other priests, classmates, and friends included Father George Evans, senior priest, previous pastor at St. Julia; Father Joseph M. Hennessey, senior priest, Regina Cleri, fellow canonist; Father Jonathan M. Gaspar, pastor, St. Mary of the Assumption, Brookline; Jesuit Fathers Michael McFarland, rector, and Gerald Finnegan in residence at Campion Center, Weston, who also assist at St. Julia.  The church was packed with parishioners and friends with a small overflow attending via live stream in the parish center.
 
Father Doyle’s homily perfectly captured his friend from seminary years, weaving personal and parochial, serious and humorous, seamlessly with the texts of scripture Father Mahoney had selected.
The evening prior the rite of reception was celebrated by Central Regional Bishop Cristiano G. Borro Barbosa; Father Laughlin preached at liturgy.
 
Following the funeral Mass, Father Mahoney was buried with his parents at St. Joseph Cemetery, West Roxbury.  The morning weather had cleared, and the sun began to shine. Almost a message from God at Father Mahoney’s request to remind all that death gives way to life, and sadness to joy for the faithful Christian for a fine priest.
