Reconciliation Monday-Danbury, CT

Bishop Caggiano has set Monday, March 26th as a Day of Reconciliation throughout the Diocese of Bridgeport.  In the Danbury area, three churches will offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation between 3 and 9 PM so that the lay faithful may experience God’s mercy as Holy Week begins.  Those churches are:

  • Sacred Heart of Jesus parish, 46 Stone St., Danbury
  • St. Edward the Confessor parish, 21 Brush Hill Road, New Fairfield
  • St. Joseph Parish, 8 Robinson Ave. Danbury

Walking With Purpose

Last year, I read about a women’s Bible study group through an article in the National Catholic Register (NCR) that was growing by leaps and bounds.  I made a note of it and then, recently, a parishioner from my parish, St. Peter church in Danbury, CT told me that she had attended a one-day retreat with this group at St Rose of Lima in Newtown, CT.  It was a wonderful experience and she was very impressed with those leading the retreat.

I am including the article here from NCR.  You can visit the group’s website at walkingwithpurpose.com.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog! I am starting this blog for several reasons. First, to be resource for Catholics in the Greater Danbury area. Second, to be a place where news, ideas and stories relating to and living our faith can be expressed. Over the past few decades, living the faith has become increasingly difficult especially for families who are concerned with raising children who are true witnesses to Jesus Christ and His love for all people.  With the help of the Holy Spirit, I hope to be a resource to anyone seeking Jesus whether they have been a long time in the faith or just becoming curious about our Lord.

I am a cradle Catholic, married with two grown children, who has always been involved with my faith. After a career in the pharmaceutical industry, I moved into a second career teaching Irish language classes in the area and getting more involved in my faith. Both enhancing each other. After doing the Ignatian Spirituality Exercises and the 19th Annotation, I am now involved in several ministries in my parish. So, the journey continues. – John Feeney
