Although the circumstances this year are unusual, we will be doing our annual “October count” of Mass attendance this month. These statistics are mandated by the Diocese and are useful for diocesan and parish planning.

In commemoration of the 15th anniversary of the parish’s foundation, Msgr. Gervasio commissioned the Rev. Matthew Mauriello of the Diocese of Bridgeport and a skilled calligrapher to design a parish crest or coat of arms. It will serve as a symbol of our parish and will be used on parish letterhead and other documents. Click the article title to find a link to a description of the new parish logo.

Our staff is preparing our annual parish report that will include a financial accounting for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2019; sacramental and census statistics for 2019; as well as expanded information on our parish school operations. Keep your eye on the parish website and future bulletins for this information.

At all Masses this weekend (October 26-27), we shall be recording attendance. These statistics are mandated by the Diocese and are useful for diocesan and parish planning. The ushers will be “counting” during the first reading. I know that they will be careful not to be too distracting to the assembly.

To see the results of this year's October Count, with a comparison to last year's count, see the October Count page under About > Parish Profile.

At all Masses during the next two weekends (October 20-21 & 27-28), we shall be recording attendance. These statistics are mandated by the Diocese and are useful for diocesan and parish planning.
