We are happy to return to week-end Masses, but would also like to remind everyone that Archbishop Blair has dispensed from the obligation of attending Mass every Catholic in the Archdiocese of Hartford, and unless otherwise announced, this dispensation will continue through Sunday, September 6th, 2020. Masses continue to be available to view on Television and on-line. With this in mind, everyone is asked to carefully consider their decision whether or not to attend Mass at this time.

Starting July 4th, the Modified Week-end Mass Schedule will be as follows:

Saturday Vigil: – 4:00pm
Sunday: 7:30am and 10:00am

Please note that this Mass schedule is different from our typical week-end schedule to allow for disinfecting of the church after each Mass.

Just as in any public environment that you go into these days, things may look and feel a little different when you return to Mass. Please be assured that we will all soon learn these new procedures and help each other in feeling comfortable and welcome.

There will be a limit of 80 people at each Mass.
Please sign up using the attached reservation link.

For those who may not have access to a computer, please call the parish office at 203 245-7301 and speak to the parish secretary who will add you to the list for the Mass you would like to attend.

All reservations must be made by Thursday at 4:00pm for the up-coming week-end Masses.

When you arrive at Mass, please provide your last name and the number of people attending with you to the usher at the door.

If your name does not appear on the list, you will not be able to attend.

Reminder that the Church Hall remains closed and NO RESTROOMS will be available at week-end Masses.

It most important that all parishioners planning to attend Mass, review and abide by the following guidelines to allow for the safety and comfort of all within our parish community.
