Our Lady of Fatima Linked to Most Holy Trinity
As of March 1, 2021 Our Lady of Fatima and Most Holy Trinity are linked.
Fr. Andres Mendoza, Pastor, assisted by Fr. Eduar Gutierrez, Parochial Vicar, and Fr. Robert Landback, Senior Parochial Vicar.
This linkage will be followed by merger of the two parishes (and a later merger with the Church of the Resurrection). For the parishioners of all three parishes, this is a major turning point. All have had their own separate parish histories of worship and service and sacrificial support by parishioners. Now, we are being asked to embrace a new vision as members of one parish across the whole town, and to create a new history together with eventually three campuses.
A transition team will be formed to plan the merger of Our Lady of Fatima and Most Holy Trinity, assisted by the pastoral planning department of the Archdiocese.
May God bless the Catholic community of Wallingford!

Make a Spiritual Communion
If you cannot physically 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.

Extension of Dispensation from Sunday Mass Obligation
On March 13, 2020, each and every Catholic in the Archdiocese of Hartford was dispensed from the obligation of attending Sunday Mass by Archbishop Leonard P. Blair due to the potential danger of the coronavirus pandemic. The dispensation was exteded several times.
Further Extension of the Dispensation from the Obligation of Sunday Mass
With the continuation of limitations on Mass attendance and our responsibility to ensure the health
and safety of our Catholic people, the Archbishop is extending the dispensation from the obligation
to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days up to and including Sunday, May 23rd, which is
Pentecost Sunday
The Archdiocese of Hartford continues to monitor the severity of the situation surrounding the pandemic and will provide updates regarding decisions reached for the archdiocese as they are made.
As was announced by Governor Lamont, the state of Connecticut on Friday, November 6, 2020, will revert back to more rigorous restrictions, implementing “Phase 2.1”, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Within these new mandatory changes, religious gatherings have been effected, and the following change will be required: attendance at Mass and other liturgies for all churches in the Archdiocese of Hartford will be restricted to 50% of capacity or 100 persons, whichever is less. In addition, as other meetings at venues have been reduced to 25 people indoors and 50 people outdoors, any upcoming non-liturgical events, meetings, or gatherings held at parishes will need to follow those limits.
Sacrament of Reconciliation - Saturdays 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm or by appointment.
“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.
