Saint Nicholas Mission—where the emphasis is on serving the people rather than maintaining the institution. Saint Nicholas [Independent Catholic] Mission—AKA The Mission—is a small Sacramental Community serving the Greater Boston area of Massachusetts.  

The primary ministry of The Mission is to the needs of those who no longer feel comfortable, for whatever reason, in their church of origin. We feel a special compassion for those who have been "dissed" by their home church—i.e., those who have come to feel disrespected, discouraged, disillusioned, disenfranchised, displaced, disheartened, etc. by their own particular branch of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
