Members of the Order of Malta in the Boston Area hosted three special gatherings for the feast day of Saint John the Baptist. 

The first, held on Cape Cod at Our Lady of the Assumption Church in Osterville, MA, was celebrated by Rev. Brian Kiley, ChM with Deacon Richard Murphy. Deacon Murphy will be invested as a Deputy Deacon Chaplain in November. A dinner, hosted by Mercedes Riley, DM, the Oyster Harbors Club in Osterville followed Mass.
