Meet Fr. Art.
Bringing Christ’s Presence to the Frontlines
A native of Brookline, Fr.
Arthur “Art” Calter grew
up as the youngest of five
children. Following the
example of his two older
brothers who became
priests, Fr. Calter entered
St. John’s Seminary in
1951. Upon his ordination,
Fr. Calter poured himself
into ministry at parishes in
Marlborough, Salem, Needham, and Braintree. With the
war in Vietnam gaining momentum, Fr. Calter was struck
that so many young men in his parishes were being
drafted. Moved by the desire to bring the presence of
Christ to the trenches, Fr. Calter became a Chaplain in
the U.S. Army. He served two tours of duty embedded
with infantrymen and marines in the jungle where he
would celebrate up to twelve Masses in one day.
Fr. Calter’s time in Vietnam prepared him for a different
kind of battle back at home—his next assignment in
South Boston where he served as pastor of St. Augustine
Parish during the height of the busing crisis. In a career
spanning more than five decades, Fr. Calter has been a
pastor at five parishes and has worked with thousands
of families and individuals. He currently resides at Regina
Cleri, a retirement home for senior priests in Boston, where
53 residents represent 1.2 million days of priesthood.
At the Easter collection, please consider a generous
gift in honor of Fr. Calter and the 638 priests of our
Archdiocese who bring the presence of Christ to all
who seek His compassion and care.
To watch a short video featuring Fr. Calter, and to learn
more about the priests who faithfully serve us each day,
please visit our website: www.clergyfunds.org.
Thank you for your generous support of Fr. Calter and all our
priests through the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust.
