Actually in Roslindale, but I have to admit where Roslindale and West Roxbury meet has always been a mystery to me!!

BTW Sacred Heart Church in Newton Centre is possibly the only church in the USA to have two of its pastors named Cardinal: Francis Spellman was Pastor and Auxiliary Bishop of Boston 1932-1939 when he was named Archbishop of NY; Richard Cushing was Pastor and Auxiliary Bishop of Boston 1939-1944 when he was named Archbishop of Boston.
Also, in 1936 Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, later Pope Pius XII, visited Boston and Sacred Heart. He spent the night at the Sacred Heart Rectory rather than at the Cardinal’s residence, much to the annoyance of Cardinal O’Connell. Cardinal Pacelli and Frank Spellman were close friends. As you face the altar on the left wall near the front there is a picture of Cardinal Pacelli, a commemorative plaque and a ceremonial candle from the Cardinal in remembrance of the visit.
Unfortunately, Sacred Heart has been severely wreckovated. First soon following VII by then Auxiliary Bishop MacKenzie and again about 8 years ago.

Since the OP asked for Byzantine liturgies, I think we should point out that the Armenian, Ge’ez and Maronite liturgies are not Byzantine.
I am not personally familiar with the Armenian or Ethiopian Church, but the Maronite liturgy is very interesting and lovely (though, quite noticeably different from the Byzantine), and you get to hear some Syriac too (which is not something you can say every day).
salaam.
