| On April 12th, just two days before speaking at the Annual Gala of the Catholic Schools Foundation—an organization chaired by Cardinal Sean O’Malley—another Catholic institution welcomed and celebrated the Bay State’s pro-abortion, lesbian chief executive.
On April 9th, Saint John’s Prep in Danvers, sponsored by the Congregation of Saint Francis Xavier (the Xaverian Brothers), rolled out the red carpet for Governor Maura Healey.
According to the adulatory account of her visit on the school’s website, “It was quickly clear her [Healey’s] personal values are closely aligned with those of the Xaverian Brothers.”
It went on to say that “The Governor opened her remarks by thanking Father Jim Ronan ’62, her Charlestown parish priest, friend, spiritual guide, and mentor, who helped facilitate her visit.”
Healey was hailed for her “sincerity, honesty, and earnestness…”
In a discussion on “ethical leadership,” the Governor exhorted students: “Call out hate when you see it. There’s no room for racism, there’s no room for antisemitism, there’s no room for Islamophobia, there’s no room for homophobia.”
Incredibly, the Planned Parenthood champion then told Saint John’s students “Since childhood, I’ve been pretty attuned to looking after those who are vulnerable…”
On its website, the elite Catholic secondary school emphasizes its commitment to the modern post-Catholic values of diversity, sustainability and empowerment.
A partnered lesbian and close ally of Planned Parenthood, Healey is one of the leaders in the campaign, headed by Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and inspired by NARAL, to vilify, restrict and ultimately suppress pro-life pregnancy care centers.
As Governor, Healey ordered the University of Massachusetts to stockpile 15,000 doses of the lethal abortion drug mifepristone, as a hedge against an adverse ruling on the drug by the U.S. Supreme Court.
As Massachusetts Attorney General, Healey argued that church facilities could be considered public accommodations, under civil rights law, in matters pertaining to so-called gender identity.
None of this however, has hampered cordial relations between Healey and the Catholic Church. In 2017, she co-authored an op-ed piece with Cardinal O’Malley calling for amnesty for illegal aliens.
Last July, the Healey Administration awarded a grant of one million dollars to Catholic Charities of Boston.
The Catholic Action League described Healey’s visit to Saint John’s Prep and the school’s exultant reaction as “further compelling evidence that most elite Catholic educational institutions in this state are in the hands of culturally conforming collaborators with the Culture of Death.
Catholic Action League Executive Director C. J. Doyle made the following comment: “Within one week, two Catholic institutions in Greater Boston hosted a public official committed to crushing the pro-life movement in the Commonwealth.
Perhaps the time has come for the leaders of that movement to re-evaluate their abusive relationship with the unfaithful partner who routinely betrays them—the Archdiocese of Boston.”

Healey was the worst attorney general in state history. She abandoned consumers. She practices agenda politics . Catholic values are the last thing that Healey supports.
