We are so grateful for the generosity of our parish during the holiday season. Click the title for a summary of what we accomplished with your donations to the Giving Tree.

Thank you to all our parishioners who participated in this year’s Giving Tree. We were able to collect gift cards and specific gifts for the Salvation Army, South Park Inn, Simsbury Social Services and residents in local assisted living and nursing homes. We are most appreciative to Peggy Day, Kathy Brignac and Sandy Everett who coordinated the huge task of collecting and distributing all these gifts. With the generosity of the parish, many helping hands, and prayers, the Giving Tree comes together very nicely year after year. Thank you for your help and generous support.

We wish to thank our wonderful parishioners who so kindly gave of their time and talents during this holiday season to decorate our Church. Thank-you to the Scouts from our parish for setting up the beautiful outdoor nativity in front of the church, and the children and their teachers from our school who offered us a lovely presentation of Lessons and Carols. Thank-you to all of our liturgical ministers—our lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, altar servers, ushers, musicians, cantors, choir and visiting clergy-for making our celebration of Christmas so meaningful and beautiful!

We are happy to welcome Archbishop Coyne to St. Mary’s this month. He will be celebrating Mass with us on Sunday, January 21st at the 9:30 AM Mass. We look forward to meeting him and formally welcoming him to the Archdiocese.

At each Sunday Mass, a basket will be placed in front of the altar. Children are invited to bring up a non-perishable food item as their offering while ushers are taking up the collection.

Call the parish office to request your special date for Mass intentions. Weekday Masses recommended donation $10 and weekend Masses recommended donation $25.
