Besides the Roslindale Fish Market that has 7 — count ’em — 7 kinds of feta cheese and the incredible galaktobouriko at Vouros Pastry, there’s the monthly Community Leaders Meeting at the rectory of Sacred Heart Church.

Who attends?  The movers and shakers of the Roslindale and greater Boston communities:  pastors and politicians and police chiefs.  Heads of non-profits who are doing such incredible work behind the scenes.

Who presides?  Monsignor Frank Kelley, a huge mover and shaker himself,  instrumental in the establishment of the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization and a man who kept his church and  school up and running — and healthy — through the worst public relations nightmare in the history of the Boston Archdiocese.

How do you get to go?  Just show up on the second Thursday of the month at 9AM at 169 Cummins Highway.  Meetings happen from Sept. – June and take the summer off.  Ring the beautiful brass bell and you’ll be buzzed in.
