fulfill this charge of Jesus in our parish, please call Sister

Dorellen at 203-389-9863.

Baptism SANTINO JORGE CEDENO, son of Paul &

We rejoice with their parents and offer our prayers of

support as they begin the awesome task of raising their

child/children 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.

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.

advertisement. We are grateful to those who utilize the

parish bulletin by placing an ad with us.

“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 confi-dential.

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.

The Archdiocese of Hartford welcomes in-quiries from men seeking to serve the Church as priests or deacons and from men and wom-

en who are discerning a vocation to the consecrated life as a religious brother or sister. Call Vocations, Archdioce-san Center at St. Thomas Seminary, Tel. 860-761-7456, e-mail vocations@stseminary.org or visit the web at www.vocationshartford.org.

Reminder! Upon enter ing church for Mass or any other service, please turn off or place on vibrate your cell phone. Thank you.

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 ad-dition, 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 fami-ly 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.
