Boston Seniority Magazine

From this issue:

Welcome to the March 2026 issue of Boston Seniority Magazine. This Women’s History Month, we’re excited to spotlight Mary Connolly. Mary immigrated to Boston from Ireland when she was just 17 years old. Now—more than 70 years later—read her reflections on the life, family, and history she has built here.

Inspiring women like Mary have shaped Boston for generations. Discover their stories by perusing the Boston Public Library’s Women’s History reading list—or, as the snow melts and the days grow warmer, consider getting outside and using our guide to explore the Boston Women’s Heritage Trail.

This issue also includes information on the various Age Strong programs we’re offering this month. From fitness and wellness classes to game days and Memory Cafes, these programs are designed to keep you aging strong and healthy. Age Strong is also proud to support local nonprofit programs for older adults through our grant initiatives—meaning there is no shortage of ways for you to stay active and engaged with our community.

And, since we know it can be hard for older adults to make ends meet, we’re also proud to host free, in-person Cost-Savings Clinics all across our neighborhoods. Our advocates will make sure you’re taking advantage of all the programs and benefits you’re eligible for—including fuel assistance, tax credits, and water and sewer discounts. To schedule an appointment, call 617-635-4366.

Hope to see you around town,

Mayor Michelle Wu
