Built from 1897 to 1899, this stately Romanesque Revival-style church sits grandly on Medford St. A Roman Catholic parish, it offers daily mass, and Sunday mass is held in both English and Haitian Creole. Rev. Brian J. McHugh is Pastor, Rev. Thomas B. Corcoran is Parochial Vicar and Rev. Gabriel Lormeus leads the Haitian Ministry.
Founded in 1911, St. Benedict has been a Somerville institution for a century. Located on a quiet side street, just off of Broadway, St. Benedict also owns the school across the street. It maintains a congregation of 900, a spectacular feat for a building of this size. It gives Mass in English and Spanish. The Sunday night Spanish Mass is also broadcast live on the internet.
