Video Series Begins in Advent!
Beginning in Advent, our parish will continue our Coming Together in Christ and Moving Forward in Hope initiative with a series of five evening sessions that will include videos and discussion. The videos are interviews with Father James Mallon, a priest who transformed his recently merged parish into a vibrant and thriving one, and who continues sharing his experience and approach through the Divine Renovation ministry. Each of the sessions will include introductory prayer and remarks, and viewing of a fifteen minute video, followed by facilitated discussion in small groups. The sessions will be conducted on-line via Zoom on Thursday evenings. The first one will be December 2nd at 7 p.m..
If you would like to learn more and to participate in this process for our parish in order to invite and support families into a parish experience of lifelong faith formation and discipleship, please register for the upcoming sessions here. You can learn more here.

Current Directives for Liturgies in Churches
of the Archdiocese of Hartford
May 10, 2021
As of the weekend of Pentecost Sunday (May 22/23), there is an obligation once again to participate at Mass. However, since the risk of infection, though diminished, still remains, the following individuals may very legitimately decide not yet to attend church: those suffering from serious pre-existing conditions making them more susceptible to COVID-19; those who are ill or homebound or who are caregivers in close contact with someone who is; those who have tested positive for any contagious disease, including COVID-19; and those who are in quarantine due to exposure to any contagion, or who reside with someone who is quarantined.
Even though watching Mass online or on TV is not a valid substitute, livestreaming will continue as an outreach to those who are curious about our faith.
We’ll have to do without a few other things for a little while longer too. We’ll have to go without holy water in the fonts. Although we can have an opening and closing procession, we will still have to do without an offertory procession. We’ll still have to refrain from physical contact at the sign of peace and receiving Holy Communion on the tongue. For a little while longer we will have to go without distributing the Precious Blood and having children altar servers.
