(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) – A church in Quincy which has been placed on the Boston Archdiocese’s list to be closed and sold celebrated Easter services on Sunday without a priest.

More than 100 parishioners fighting to keep the doors of the Mary Star of the Sea Chapel open congregated on Sunday and had a priest-less Mass.

“It’s unique in that it doesn’t have a priest. It’s special because it reinforces the importance of community,” Maureen Mazrimas told FOX 25.

Mary Star of the Sea Chapel was founded in 1945, but was forced to close its door in September 2010.
