Built in 1818–19, it is the oldest Roman Catholic church building in Massachusetts; the cemetery, established 1818 is also the state's oldest Catholic cemetery. The Gothic Revival chapel was originally built as a crypt for the remains of Father François Matignon, the first Catholic priest to come to Boston from France.[1] Father Dennis J. O'Donovan and many other priests are also buried there.[2]
The chapel and cemetery were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[3] The chapel is still in active, holding 5pm Mass on Saturdays.
