Weather cancellations: As a rule, our office and churches will be closed on a weekday whenever Methuen Public Schools are closed due to inclement weather. We also announce our closures on WCVB TV Channel 5. When schools announce a delayed opening, we cancel weekday morning Mass and open our office late. We will only cancel Sunday and holy day Masses if there is an emergency (announced through WCVB). When possible, we will live-stream Mass on such occasions.
