SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
���
The expectant parents who wish to have their child baptized are asked to call the rectory at 387-7119 to prepare properly for this joyous celebration. Attendance at the pre-baptismal program conducted by the parish 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 at the rectory to register.
MOVED BY MERCY This month, after years of study, 2 men are scheduled to be ordained to the priesthood. During their years of preparation for this
vocation, they were supported by family and friends-and by everyone who made a gift to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. When you make a gift to the Appeal, you help meet the cost of priestly formation and education. Please support our seminarians by making a gift to the Appeal today.
HELP JESUS IN DISGUISE Next week, our parish will take up The Catholic Relief Services Collection (CRSC) Funds from this collection help provide food to the hungry, support to displaced refugees, and Christ’s love and respect to all people here at home and abroad. Next week, please give generously to the CRSC and help Jesus in disguise. Learn more about the collection at www.usccb.org/catholic-relief.
