Originating in 1829 as Connecticut's first Roman Catholic Church, today it is more vibrant than ever.
What is it that keeps this Franciscan parish so full of faithfulness and vitality and draws over 1400 households from over 100 different zip codes?
It is the love of God, showered down on all of us, a love with a special promise for the pilgrim, the outsider, the officially shunned, the angry and wounded, calling us to community, to service, to praise, to thanks and to love.
You will find the good people of our parish old, young, single, married, gay, straight, transgender, affluent, homeless, blue-collar, converts, cradle Catholics, radical, traditional, questioning, fervent. What you're least likely to find here is complacency or indifference. We seem to be a church with no accidental parishioners: everyone worshipping in our pews or sharing in one of our many ministries such as making sandwiches for the poor in the Franciscan Center for Urban Ministry, is committed to a vision of a better world and a better experience of Church.
Our liturgies are true celebrations, as captured above in a photo of a weekend Mass. Our music program is innovative and inspiring. Our outreach efforts work tirelessly to serve the needy - the hungry - the lonely - the spiritually thirsty. Our education and sacramental programs for children and adults strive to bring us to a deeper understanding of our faith, our Scriptures and the Symbols of our Catholic experience.
Thank you for joining us.
