 ASCENSION THURSDAY

        In our Diocese of Bridgeport, the Feast of the Ascension (40 days after Easter) is always a Holyday of Obligation. 
        Because of Covid-19 we have been excused from the Obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days.
        However, we will have two Masses available to those who wish to attend Mass on Thursday: May 13^th. Masses will be celebrated at 12:10 and 5:00 p.m.       

CEMETERY MASS AT   ST. THOMAS CEMETERY
     On Saturday – May  29th  we will hold our Annual Memorial Day Mass at St. Thomas  Cemetery on Mill Plain Rd.  The Mass will begin at 8:30a.m.  All are welcome to attend this special Mass to honor those buried in our parish cemetery and for those who gave their lives for our American freedom

              SERVICE OF REMEMBRANCE

       On Friday Evening (June 11^th) at 7:00 pm on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus every parish in our Diocese of Bridgeport will be offering a Vesper Service for the repose of those who died from COVID-19 and for the consolation of their families. At the same hour Bishop Caggiano will be celebrating the same service from St. Augustine Cathedral in Bridgeport. His service will be live streamed for those who cannot attend in person.The Service will consist of Evening Prayer II  for the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
