Meet St. Paul's New Undergraduate Chaplain

Fr. Matt Westcott

My name is Fr. Matt Westcott. I am originally from Somerville MA and graduated from St. Clement High School in 1993. I then attended Norwich University in VT graduating with a BA in Medieval History in 1997. I enlisted in the Marine Corps reserve the following summer and then began studies at the New England School of Law. After graduating in 2000, I worked locally for a year before following a call to the seminary. I was ordained to the priesthood in May of 2007 for the Archdiocese of Boston. I have served in parishes in Scituate and Foxboro before being asked to succeed Fr. Bill Murphy by Cardinal O'Malley.

I am excited to be at the Harvard Catholic Center. Both of my parents are from Cambridge and I have many personal connections to the University, as well as to St. Paul's. I look forward to working with such a varied and dynamic group of people. if I can be of any help to you at any time, please don not hesitate to contact me. God bless you.

Fr. Matt

We often work with the chaplaincy of Saint Paul's Parish.

Saint Paul's is located at the corner of Bow & Arrow Streets, conveniently between Adams House and BerryLine
