With this new schedule, we anticipate a fuller church at all of our Sunday Masses this summer, which will significantly enhance our worship. Parishioners are encouraged to attend the Masses within the collaborative that are most convenient; envelopes and checks placed in the collection basket will be sent to their home parishes. (Now would be a great time to consider online giving, if you haven't already. Online giving makes donating to your home parish simple and easy, regardless of where you are or the time of year, and this in turn provides the parish with more consistent and stable contributions. Please visit your home parish's website or call the office for more information.) Please note that this is a temporary change for the summer months, and our Regular Sunday Mass schedule will resume after Labor Day (Sunday, September 9, 2018). The Collaborative Summer Mass Schedule begins on Sunday, July 1: St. Paul Church Daily Mass 9:00am Saturday Vigil Mass 4:00pm Sunday Masses 7:30am 11:00am Confession: Saturday 3:00pm-3:45pm (or by appointment) St. John the Evangelist Church Daily Mass 7:00am Saturday Vigil Mass 5:00pm Sunday Masses* 7:30am 9:00am Confession: Saturday 3:30-4:00pm in the chapel (or by appointment) *As in past years, the Sunday 5:00pm Mass at St. John ends after Memorial Day.

His work there was part of his “poverty experiment” as a Jesuit novice. He learned from this poor Latino Jesuit parish how close God is to the poor and to those who serve them. We would like to show our support of Chris, who was the Music Director of the Family Mass at St. John’s for 10 years before he left to pursue his chosen vocation with the Jesuits, by donating new or gently used Children’s books (preK-Grade 6) to the children of Sacred Heart Parish in Richmond VA. These children are the children of DACA immigrants, who are currently learning English and hoping that their parents will gain citizenship in the United States. Sacred Heart is a welcoming community of faith-filled Catholics struggling to help its members to gain access to healthcare, to legal services and to courses designed to help them prepare for the US Citizenship exam. Boxes for books to be donated are located at the Glen Road and Ledyard exits of St. John Church and the Entrance of St.
