The Syro-Malabar community's mission in the Eastern Massachusetts area has been meeting in a rather small chapel of a former state school for the mentally handicapped and occasionally in another Latin church. The Boston Archdiocese has now offered the Syro-Malabar Eparchy the use of one of the parish churches that the Latins have canonically suppressed. Interesting arrangement, as the Malabarese priest (with the blessing of the Latin Archdiocese), in addition to serving their Liturgy, will also serve a weekly Latin Rite Mass for former parishioners of the church who have been most unhappy with it being closed and have occupied it for quite some time in protest to the Archdiocesan decision for closure. See this article in The Boston PilotMany years, Neil
