Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish has two worship sites. The 10:30 Mass and most holy day vigil Masses are celebrated at St. Augustine, 128 Ames Street in Lawrence. All other Masses are celebrated at St. Theresa, 22 Plymouth Street in Methuen. Please see our Events calendar on our homepage for Mass times on holy days and other special occasions.
Cancellations: As a rule, our office and churches will be closed on a weekday whenever Methuen Public Schools are closed due to inclement weather. When schools announce a delayed opening, we cancel morning Mass and open our office late. We will only cancel Sunday and holy day Masses if there is an emergency. You may track these announcements on WCVB TV Channel 5. When possible, we will still live-stream Mass.

Do you know the story of how Saint Gerard Majella became "The Mother's Saint'? Here's how this sweet legacy began:
-
"Lord of Miracles, because I love you I have come to visit you, bless you, and thank you for so many favors that you have obtained for me."
-
“From silly devotions and sour-faced saints, good Lord, deliver us!”
-
"Even something as fundamental as clothing can lift the mind to God, or provide a source of inspiration, passion, and joy.”
-
"By the recitation of the Rosary, you shall obtain all that you ask of me."
