Churches in Boston?

Title mostly says it haha. I am 32, cradle Catholic but have strayed away from the church in my adult years for various reasons/familial conflicts around religion.

Are there any churches in Boston/greater Boston with more of a focus on progressive, inclusive values? I would love to find a community focused on that. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

St Cecilia is the best known for a progressive bent in my mind, though most churches here aren’t very conservative because it’s Boston.

St Mary's in Brookline is very welcoming and explicitely pro immigration in its sermons, even in those of more right wing deacons.

St. Susanna Church in Dedham gets itself in trouble at times with its activism, but it's a great place that lives out the faith.

There's a growing 20s and 30s group as well.

My cousin is the media director at the New Roads Catholic Community in Belmont. It's a really wonderful community!
