FROM THE NURSES CORNER For those who have completed CPR, certification cards can be picked up at the rectory office. Because we were unable to accommodate
some people, we are offering CPR again on January 21,2018 ( snow date January 28) at 1pm. Those who participate will receive a 2 year Heartsaver certificate from the American Heart Association. The class is limited to 20 people, and requests need to be in by January 14. The class will include adult, child, and infant CPR, as well as use if the AED and what to do if someone is choking. The cost for the card has increased to $20.00. CPR books are also available for an additional fee. If you wish to purchase a book beforehand, please complete registration two weeks beforehand; otherwise they will be available the day of the class. You can email us at [email protected] to register.
If you love me you will hold to my words and my
Father will love you and will come to you. Where
does God come to you. If God is coming to you
and asking you to discern a religious vocation. Call Vocations, Archdiocesan Center at St. Thomas Seminary, Tel. 860-761-7456, e-mail [email protected] or visit the web at www.vocationshartford.org.
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.
The rectory and religious education office will be closed on Monday, January 15, 2018 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. In the event of an emergency, please call the rectory and indicate to the answering service the
nature of your matter.
Father Gene will be contacted by the answering service and return your call as soon as possible. It is not an emergency or urgent. Kindly leave your message clearly with the service. Father Gene or Denise will then return your call when office hours resume. We will resume office hours on Tuesday, January 16, 2018.
SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
!!!
We welcome to God’s family through the Sacrament of Baptism ETHAN NICHOLAS COLLICEOLI son of Mr. & Mrs. Adam Colliceoli. We rejoice with his parents and offer our prayers of support as they begin the awesome
task of raising their child in the Catholic faith.
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.
2019 DAILY MASS BOOK Monday, February 5, 2018, parishioners may begin requesting Masses for the year 2019. 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 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 12, 2018. The masses are on a first come first serve basis. The offering for the weekday Mass is $20.00 weekend Mass is $25.00 and the sanctuary candle offering is $10.00.
LECTORS TAKE NOTICE! Lectors workbooks for Advent 2017 through 2018 are available in the Mother Church sacristy and in the Center Road vesting room. Please take a new workbook this month. Just to let you know! Note! On weekdays when the Woodbridge School District is closed for inclement weather the 9:00AM Mass is celebrated at the Center Road Church.
Please support those who make this bulletin possible! Whenever possible we ask parishioners to patronize the advertisers who appear on the back page of our bulletin. Please tell the place of business where you saw their advertisement. We are grateful to those who utilize the parish bulletin by placing an ad with us.
JANUARY 14, 2018
There may be occasion when the rectory and religious
education offices are closed due to inclement weather. On
these “questionable” days, you may wish to “call ahead”
prior to leaving your home to verify the office is open.
The Parish Family of Our Lady of the As-
sumption express sympathy, prayers and support to the
family, fiends and love ones of Carmel Pucillo in their
recent loss.
Come to the Table” is a program we have
set up which provides non-perishable food items to fami-
lies “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 pro-
gram up and running. Please leave your donations in the
rear of either church.
FEAST OF ST. BLAISE Saturday, February 3, 2018 following the 8:30AM Mass
throats will be blessed. If inconvenient, please contact the
rectory for appointment 387-7119.
Saturdays 9:00AM at the Center Road Church. The op-
portunity for “confession/reconciliation” should be a pri-
mary objective of every follower of JESUS. All are urged
