Please pray the following prayer daily:

Loving God,
We give you thanks for all yours gifts to us,
Especially the gifts of this new century
And the third millennium of Christianity.

 Above all,
We give you thanks for sending us Jesus Your Son.
In Him you have revealed to us
The fullness of your love, compassion and forgiveness.
You sent Him to us as your messenger of
Justice and peace, reconciliation and healing.

 Open our hearts to the understanding of His Good News
And help us to proclaim it to all the world.
Enable us to bring unity there is division,
Love where there is prejudice,
Respect where there is contempt.
As the parish family of St. Mary’s,
May we become your instruments
In bringing your salvation to all your people.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.


 

To those wishing to join our Catholic Parish Family

We welcome all those who are moved by the Holy Spirit and under His guidance seek membership in our Catholic Parish Family. 

Our formation period is basically from September to May, 2006-07. It has four parts: a time of basic education in some of the essentials of our Catholic Faith, a time for hearing the Word of God and experiencing change of heart (conversion to Christ), intense spiritual preparation during Lent and the reception of the Sacraments at the Easter Vigil. The formation continues after Easter in the form of reflecting on the process of your faith journey.

However, we start forming you in our Catholic faith from the moment you make your inquiry.   We assist you to know our community, our faith and our parish life. You need a sponsor. This person has to be a practicing Catholic. Please call us at 860 669 8512.

Registration in the Parish. All those who consider themselves to be members of this parish need to be registered as our parishioners. In order to come to our Masses and liturgies, registration is not needed. All are welcome! However, in order to receive any other services, previous registration is needed. Please call 860 669 8512 if you are not registered.

 

Sponsor Certificates. It is likely that sometime you will be asked to be a sponsor at a baptism or confirmation. That is a beautiful call! You will be asked to get a sponsor certificate from me. Remember though the meaning of being a “SPONSOR”! Being a sponsor means that you are an active member of the faith community and in that capacity you are sponsoring or ushering in a new member by your own example of practicing your faith. In order to receive the sponsor certificate you must be registered in the parish for at least six months, be a regular Churchgoer and a supporter of our stewardship process of time, talent and treasure to your parish.

 

Do you need people to clean your houses? There are parishioners who seek jobs of cleaning houses or doing any kind of manual work. If you are interested, please call 860 669 8512.

 

Do you want your house to be blessed? I am willing to come to your homes and bless them.  Please call our parish Office.

 

 

Fr. Michael
