On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.

Congratulations!
To our RCIA Candidates
Dear Parishioners of Saint Mary
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the Stop & Shop gift cards you so generously provided to Corpus Christi Holy Rosary School families during the Lenten season. These cards will make a significant and positive impact in the lives of families who are experiencing financial difficulty caused mainly by inflation and higher cost of living.
Jesus tells us “whatever you do for the least of my brothers and sisters you do it for me.” You can be assured that you will be blessed abundantly and that the good Lord will not let your kindness be forgotten.
We greatly appreciate your support of our school and our mission to educate our students in the Catholic Faith and instill in them the love of God and country.
You will be remembered in our daily prayers, and most especially during this holy Easter season.
Gratefully Sr. Lise Parent, FMA
A Letter of Thanks...

Children at Mass
Children in Mass are gifts, not distractions!
But if a young child does become disruptive, which is natural, please be respectful of other parishioners and remove the child from church and feel free to return once it is appropriate.
Please do not let young children wander from the pew or run up and down aisles or through the Mary chapel alcove. Also, if late for Mass, please do not proceed to the front of the church but instead occupy a pew closer to the rear.
Consideration of others and reverence help to maintain a prayerful atmosphere for all.
Family Movie Nights
To help families spend time together and share common experiences, The Leadership Institute provides recommendations for Family Movie Night. Each week, a new movie recommendation and explanation is available for your consideration. More than 100 movie recommendations are online ready for your review. Click movies.

Revised Liturgical Norms
When the liturgical reforms of the second Vatican council were promulgated, the lives of many of the faithful were disrupted because they were neither informed nor prepared for the changes to come. As we look forward to the promulgation of our own revised liturgical norms, Bishop Caggiano is committed to avoiding that same mistake.
The Revised Liturgical Norms for the Diocese of Bridgeport will be promulgated on the first Sunday of Advent, December 2, 2018. Between now and then, we will embark on a comprehensive catechetical and communication strategy so that when the norms are made public, there is a more complete understanding of what we aim to do, namely, raise awareness of and commitment to a celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that is both faithful and universal.
In the video here, Bishop Caggiano outlines the timeline for catechesis, makes the case for why we are revising the norms, and invites everyone to participate in this process.
