Rosary in Honor of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel / Confraternity of the Brown Scapular

A Rosary will be recited before the statue of Our Lady in front of the Rectory on Sat., July 12th at 11 AM (English/Spanish).  A small reception will follow in the Parish Hall afterwards with the opportunity to enroll in the Confraternity and receive your Brown Scapular.

The Scapular was first given to St. Simon Stock, a Carmelite, in 1251 with the promise “that anyone dying in this habit shall not suffer eternal fire”.  Later on, the Church extended this to everyone.  Wearing the scapular is a sign for oneself to live in total obedience to God and trust in Him through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  The ceremony is short and is administered by a priest.  For more info: http://www.sistersofcarmel.com

All ages are invited to attend.

St Peter Church, Main St. Danbury, CT 06810 across the street from the rectory. Parish hall is located on the side of the Church.

St Ignatian Parish Pilgrimage

The St Ignatian Parish Pilgrimage sponsored by the Ignatian Spirituality Center of Fairfield University is coming to St Peter Parish in Danbury, CT for the 2024 Lenten / Easter season.  This pilgrimage was started in 2017 at the direction of Bishop Caggiano and held at various parishes since then. 

What can you expect from spiritual direction?  Encouragement and hope to gently nudge you toward the wisdom and love God is already pouring into your life.  Meaningful connection to yourself, God, and others, to respond to the movements of your heart and make choices in line with your truest self. 

Watch Four Journeys in Ignatius (5 min video) to see other people’s experience of spiritual direction.
