The Expectant parents who wish to have their child

staff is required. The Archdiocese of Hartford mandates
this program prior to baptism. Baptisms are held on the
first and third Sundays of each month. Please call Denise

Watch future bulletins for 2015 Pre-baptismal class
schedule.
2016 DAILY MASS BOOK
Monday, February 2, 2015, parishioners
may begin requesting Masses for the year
2016. We recommend parishioners call
during the week to reserve the Masses they
wish. As we have experience in past years,
the date requested may not be available.
You may also submit your dates in writing. Please
include a telephone number and alternative dates. To
verify masses contact Denise in the rectory 387-7119 the
following Monday, February 9, 2015. The masses are
on a first come first serve basis. The offering for the
weekday Mass is $20.00; a weekend Mass is $25.00 and
the sanctuary candle offering is $10.00.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE!!! The Flu season will soon
be upon us. At the “sign” of peace” some parishioners
may not wish to shake hands, but extend a nod or a wave.
We ask parishioners to accept whatever acknowledgement
at the “sign of peace.

Masses will be held at 9:00AM at the
Mother Church and Noon at Center Road
Church. Ashes will be imposed after Mass.

KOREAN CATHOLIC COMMUNITY OF
SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT
We are honored to have this community utilize our worship
space at the Mother Church. Holy Mass will be celebrated
on each of the second Saturday of the month at 7:00PM.
Father Nicholas Lee, coordinator of the Korean Catholic
Community within the Archdiocese, will be the celebrant.
WHEN YOU ARE HOSPITALIZED.
Please be aware that there are now stricter
legal and ethical guidelines regarding, the dissemination of
patient, information from hospitals to churches and clergy. In
addition. today’s shorter hospital stays make timely pastoral visit
difficult at best. Therefore, if you have occasion to be hospitalized
and desire pastoral support, you or a family member should do
two things. Notify the rectory of the hospitalization as soon as
possible. Also, upon admission to the hospital you will be asked if
you desire to have your religious affiliation noted as part of your
medical record. Please state both your denomination and parish.
If you fail to do either of the above, your parish priest may have
no way of knowing your needs.
!
DIACONATE INQUIRY SESSIONS
The Archdiocesan Office of Diaconate Formation is now
preparing to admit a new class of candidates for the Diaconate in
the fall of 2015. Any Catholic man between the ages of 35 and 60
who may be interested in the Diaconate is encouraged to speak to
his pastor.
Two inquiry sessions will be held at St. Thomas Seminary in
Bloomfield on Sunday, March 8, 2015 and Sunday, March 22,
2015 from 2:00 to 4:00PM. Both sessions must be attended, and
spouses must also attend. Please call the office at (860)242-5573
no later than March 2, 2015 in order to pre-register.

for appointment 387-7119.
Saturdays’ 9:00AM at the Center Road Church. The
opportunity for “confession/reconciliation” should be a
primary objective of every follower of JESUS. All are
urged to celebrate this sacrament.
FEBRUARY 1, 2015

to families“ at any time” during
the year; based on request.
Should you know of a family in need, please call Denise
at the church office
(387-7119). All family names will be kept strictly confidential.
The food pantry, which supplies food for the Come to
the Table program, is “ALWAYS” in need of new inventory; year round. Financial contributions and donations of non-perishable food items are always needed to
keep this program up and running. Please leave your
donations in the rear of either church. “Thank you”
