Hope you had an enjoyable summer! September brings its own “busy-ness” as the school year begins and vacations wind down. As we get back on track with our routines, we look for special moments to enjoy with family and friends and our Lord.
The month of September begins with our participation in Suffield on the Green. We host the Friends of the Library Book Sale in Fr Ted Hall. Our Knights of Columbus assist in the events on the green as well as selling great food, beverages and snowcones.
The parish will also have a booth on the green so please feel free to stop by and say hello. Our booth will also be where you can pick up a free ticket for a train ride around the green. This was a big hit last year with almost 800 people of all ages getting on board. With the continued generous support of our Knights of Columbus we are happy to offer it again.
We are also getting back on track with our faith life. More opportunities for prayer and service are coming to our parish and community this month. A beloved Catholic devotion, the rosary, will be added to our Sunday mornings on the first Sunday of each month beginning this month. The rosary will be prayed on Sunday, Sept. 7th. at 8:00 a.m. This is a beautiful way to get back on track with daily prayer or introduce it to a younger family member. Rosaries and information about how to pray them are available in the vestibule of the church. Monday, September 15, we will also have special devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows. Please join us for a holy hour and rosary from 6-7 p.m. that day. All are welcome to join us in prayer!
Reminder: we will not be returning to the three Masses on Sunday. Sunday morning Masses are at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. and of course Saturday evening at 4 p.m. Please find one that fits your schedule and join us at the Eucharist!
For more information about upcoming events at the parish, follow us on Facebook and our website http://www.sacredheartct.com . Our weekend and daily Masses (8:00 AM) are live streamed on our Facebook page and YouTube for those who cannot join us in person.
