Public Recitation of the Rosary
Every Tuesday night at 6:45 p.m. parishioners gather in the Convent Chapel, Old Norwich Road, Quaker Hill (447-3550) to pray the 15 decades of the Rosary for Peace and Conversion. This fosters devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary and asks for her intercession for Peace and Conversion from sin.

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)
A group of adults wishing to become Catholics or wishing to update themselves in Faith. This official process in the Catholic Church is devoted to interested persons who seek knowledge of the Catholic Church with the hope of becoming Catholic themselves. It invites the non baptized person or persons already baptized as Catholic but who have not been practicing their faith or those who have been
baptized in other Christian denominations who have a common interest in learning more about the Catholic Church. Through this they may become full members of the Church. It involves instruction, discussion, prayer, and reflection.

It is conducted each Sunday after the 8:00AM in the Rectory from September to May. And on one evening a week during November and during the season of Lent. For additional information call the Rectory (860) 443-1875. FAX (860) 437-9869

Parish Family Group
This group of men and women come together to build community, foster hospitality, and undertake charitable works for others. They sponsor, organize and conduct Coffee after Sunday Masses, pot luck suppers, outreach to sick and needy parishioners and musical programs. A special gift-giving program during Advent is undertaken through the Christmas Sharing Tree. Hundreds of gifts are collected and given to designated places for those in need. The entire parish participates in this and it is wonderfully successful. In addition throughout the year nonperishable food is brought to weekend Masses by the entire parish family and this Group sees to its distribution to Catholic Charities. For more information contact Ginny Smith 443-4174, Judy Strutt 848-1386 or Bob Costello 442-8930.
