About us
Who We Are
We are the New Roads Catholic Community...
  • A community of two parishes, St. Joseph and St. Luke in Belmont, MA, that work together to offer experiences of worship, welcome, and conversation through which you can encounter God and grow in your relationship with God 
  • A family that welcomes all who search for God, that will meet you where you are and help you take your next steps in developing a relationship with God, whether you are 5, 15, 25, or 105
  • A spiritual home for those who do not currently practice the Catholic faith; for those who have questions, struggles, and doubts; and for all people who are looking for a sense of meaning and belonging 
What We Believe
We believe that...
  • True joy and fulfillment are found in knowing and following Christ (and we want to share that joy and fulfillment with as many people as possible!) 
  • We are called to share God’s love in bold, creative, and exciting ways (and we choose to do that even when it means facing our fears and getting out of our comfort zones!) 
  • It is up to us to build God’s Kingdom of justice and peace (and we find strength and power for this work in community, especially when we celebrate the Eucharist together!)
What We Offer
An invitation to encounter Christ and grow as his disciple, no matter where you are on the journey, through...

  • A fresh, modern approach to preparing for and celebrating the sacraments
