Father Jack Ahern —Pastor of Dorchester Saint Gregory Parish and former pastor Dorchester Holy Family, St. Peter and Blessed Mother Teresa parishes — was recognized by Governor Charlie Baker for his role as a pioneer of Catholic education in Boston, as well as his commitment to equity and as a “champion of the marginalized” in the community. Father Ahern is a respected and cherished figure in Archdiocese of Boston, after moving from his 15-year assigned spot in Brookline to lead his current three parishes in the city. The recognition was received late January 2019.
