On Sunday, January 26, 2025, His Excellency, Archbishop Christopher J. Coyne, Archbishop of Hartford, will visit our parish and celebrate the 9:30 AM Mass. Following the Mass, there will be a light reception in Father Bennett Hall where you will have the opportunity to meet Archbishop Coyne. To ensure there are no time constraints, we will be canceling the 11:00 AM Mass for that Sunday only. It is a great honor to welcome Archbishop Coyne to our parish. I encourage you to mark your calendars and make every effort to attend this special occasion.

At Mass this weekend, Aiden shared stories from his mission trip last spring to Peru with FOCUS. Between building houses, connecting with locals and sharing and deepening his faith, Aiden was so impacted by this experience he is planning on returning to Peru this spring break to help out again. He grew up attending St. Ann, graduated from NWC and is currently a student at the College of William and Mary. He is quite a role model for all of us. We ask all parishioners to keep Aiden in your prayers as he prepares for his next mission and if you would like to support him financially, CLICK HERE to visit his FOCUS donation website.
