As we move into the heart of the summer season, a few items for reflection. As a sign that we are emerging from the COVID 19 pandemic, at least here in Connecticut, we are thankful for the presence of vaccines that have brought us here. We should all offer a prayer for those scientists who were inspired to develop these vaccines that allow us to return to a more normal existence. Just a reminder that those who are fully vaccinated need not wear a mask when worshiping with us in church.
August 13, 2021 is the concluding Mass of the Archdiocese of Hartford synod process. Each parish is sending 30 representatives to the Mass. A coach bus will leave here from Saint Mary parking lot at 4:00 PM that day and return around 10:00 PM. Please contact Deacon John (dcn.hoffman@aohct.org) if you would like to be included. If you cannot join us that day, please pray for the successful conclusion of the synod process. Final synod documents will be published subsequent to the final synod Mass.
We acknowledge the departure of Frank Zilinyi as the music director and organist at Saint Mary Church, a position he has held for 8 years. We are thankful for the gift of his remarkable talent playing the magnificent organ at Saint Mary Church. We wish him well in his future endeavors. If you would like to contact him, his email is fzilinyi@gmail.com.
May God bless you all, and send His peace to your hearts each day.
