Parish Lenten Retreat - VIDEOOur Parish Retreat was quite a success!
Our experience during the pandemic can be compared to what Israel faced in the Old Testament. Our retreat -- Exile and Return -- explored OUR time of exile (cut off from family and friends) as well as our need to renew our faith and our parish life as we emerge from the pandemic.

The Chosen
Season Two of The Chosen will be released at Easter and part of it will include our own Jeff Ryan.
Jeff was among about the crowd of 2,000 who were on hand as extras for the filming of four crowd scenes depicting followers at the Sermon on the Mount. Two of the scenes will be part of the upcoming Season Two and the other scenes will be included in Season Three.
As for the "glamorous" life of being part of the shooting, filming took place (with protocols in place) in Texas as Mother Nature was making her prescence known as well. The group came to be known as the Frozen Chosen, as they were barefoot or in sandals despite 30 degree temparatures during the filming.
Jeff was able to meet the cast and crew and the group was treated to a concert by Phil Wickham, Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes.
It was a fantastic faith-filled experience shared with those who have been touched by this impactful series from around the country and across the world.
Jeff thanks everyone for the prayers and well wishes for his journey and thankful for the opportunity to have represented our parish community on this adventure

2021 Archbishop's Annual Appeal
We can recognize the darkness around us:
it can be in the form of mental illness, racism, addiction,
isolation and anxiety for example.
How can WE be lamplighters in that darkness?

January 22
On March 13, 2020, every Catholic in the Archdiocese of Hartford was dispensed from the obligation of attending Sunday Mass by Archbishop Leonard P. Blair due to the potential danger of the coronavirus pandemic. In May, the dispensation was extended through Labor Day and then in August, the dispensation was again extended through the end of the church's liturgical year (November 28), and then extended once again until Ash Wednesday of 2021. Now, in light of the continued circumstances within the Archdiocese of Hartford and the state of Connecticut, Archbishop Blair has now extended the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation for all the Faithful of the Archdiocese of Hartford up to and including Sunday, May 23, which is Pentecost Sunday. The Archdiocese continues to monitor the severity of the situation surrounding the pandemic and will provide updates regarding decisions reached for the archdiocese as they are made.Read More
