“ANNIVERSARY SUNDAY
CELEBRATION”
A special Mass will take place at St.
Joseph’s Cathedral on Sunday, October 23,
2015 at 2:00P.M.
All Couples Celebrating their 25th, 50th, 60th and any other
special wedding anniversaries this year are invited.
Archbishop Blair will be the main celebrant. Mass will
include the renewal of marriage vows, followed by a simple
reception and an opportunity for a photo with Archbishop
Blair. Family members and friends are encouraged to
attend. Please call the Rectory office at 203-387-7119 to
respond to this invitation. Questions regarding the Mass can
be directed to Clarisga Echandy at (860) 242-5573.
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.
TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

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

Have you ever wondered what it would take to become a
Catholic? Do you feel drawn toward membership in the Catholic
Church? Have you secretly wished that someone would invite
you to look into becoming or to become a Catholic?
That invitation is being extended to you now by Father Gene &
Sister Dorellen!
On a Sunday during the month of September 2015 you are
cordially invited for coffee and pastry, in the rectory after
9:30AM Mass. At this time you will be able to ask questions
about the R.C.I.A. process about membership in the Roman
Catholic Church, what Catholics believe and do and why?
At this time you will have the opportunity to meet the R.C.I.A.
team. We also invite any Adult Catholics in need of receiving

think that God might be calling you to membership in the Roman
Catholic Church, please, do join us.
