Kennedys’ Parish May Lose Church
BROOKLINE, Mass. —
Parishioners of the church that baptized John F. Kennedy are fighting to save the building.
The Archdiocese of Boston closed St. Aidan’s Roman Catholic Church two years ago because of dwindling attendance and a shortage of priests. The archdiocese is considering putting affordable housing on the site.
Kennedy’s mother, Rose, attended Mass every morning at the church and her famous sons once served there as altar boys.
