“Where the individual faithful find themselves in the painful impossibility of receiving sacramental absolution, it should be remembered that perfect contrition, coming from the love of God, beloved above all things, expressed by a sincere request for forgiveness (that which the penitent is at present able to express) and accompanied by votum confessionis, that is, by the firm resolution to have recourse, as soon as possible, to sacramental confession, obtains forgiveness of sins, even mortal ones (cf. CCC, no. 1452).”
Let us remain spiritually united as a people of God.

Make a Spiritual Communion
Since churches are closed and you cannot receive Holy Communion, make a Spiritual Communion instead, asking God to come into your heart as if you received Him sacramentally — Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. For instance, you can say this:
Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things and I desire You in my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
As though You were already there,
I embrace You and unite myself to You;
permit not that I should ever be separated from You.
Amen.
Did you know?
The Holy Father encourages all the faithful to pray the Rosary:
The Respect Life Office would like to share with you the Holy Father's encouragement to all the faithful to pray the Rosary to Our Lady during. The Holy Father also provides two prayers to be said at the conclusion of the Rosary that we may be in union with him in prayer to Our Lady. 
Click on the Rosary to read the letter.
Mass intentions scheduled for any masses that were canceled, if not rescheduled, will be said privately by Fr. Robert.
We are still collecting for Master's Manna. Bins are by the wing doors.
During this time of worry and need, non-perishable items will be MOST appreciated.
Gift certificates may be dropped off @ the parish office.

Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed!
In this unprecedented time in which we are forced to remain physically distant, may we do our best this Easter to respond to Archbishop Blair's call for us all to remain spiritually close in our celebration of the Lord's resurrection.
Asking for God's blessing upon all of us throughout the Archdiocese of Hartford, we offer this
Renewal of Baptismal Promises & Blessing
in the hopes that our Lord will grant you and your loved ones a truly Blessed and Happy Easter!
Holy Week
Palm Sunday
