Doctor of the Church

Feast Day - October 9


Dear Saint Mary Friends,


Two things in addition to my video message this week:


Be sure to check the Mass schedule for this coming Sunday through Wednesday. As you know, the priests of the Diocese of Bridgeport will be away for a Convocation of renewal, ongoing formation, prayer, and fellowship. The Bulletin reflects the schedule and the places in our area where you can attend daily Mass. Should an emergency arise, and a priest is needed, call the parish office. There are priests on call to cover emergencies.

 

Next Sunday, October 19, our Rosary at Ballard Park after the Noon Mass will include reflections on and by St. Carlo Acutis. It will be our parish’s way of marking his recent canonization. Please plan on attending to pray together and then to enjoy the hot dogs provided by Chez Lenard.

Blessings,

Msgr. Kevin T. Royal

Pastor
