Summer Outdoor Mass – St Gregory the Great Parish in Danbury, CT

Beginning on June 24th, the Parish Council at St Gregory’s has decided to offer some outdoor Masses. This will be for the 10 AM Mass only, weather permitting. The Masses will take place by the large cross in front of the Church. Participants will need to bring their own chairs or blankets to sit on, and the consecrated host only will be distributed. It is intended not only to be something different and unique for parishioners and visitors, but a source of evangelization for all people passing by. Come and celebrate Mass under God’s open sky!

Located at 85 Great Plain Road, Danbury.

Easter at St Peter Church

I hope you all had a Blessed and Happy Easter!

I attended the Easter Vigil Mass at St. Peter church this weekend in Danbury. A beautiful time of worship. It is always a moving experience for the parishioners to welcome the new members of the Body of Christ to the parish. Some baptized, others baptized into other Christian faiths and embracing Catholicism and many baptized Catholics who can fully participate in the life of the Church through Confirmation and Eucharist.

Twenty-seven men and women were welcomed to the Church: Rosa Calderon, Felix Echavaria, Edwin Galdamez, Mirna Menendez, Christopher Nunez, Jonathan Ortega, Pam Rist, Julia Rist, Mario Sari, Nadia Virgile, Warren Wadsworth, Christina Williams, Anna Gomes, Caique Roberto, Eduardo de Oliveira, Eduilo da Siva, Gabriel de Souza, Guilherme Nascimento, Mariana Dimario, Mike Martins, Mirian da Silva, Nagila Reis, Paloma Xavier, Pauliane Santo, Renata Oliveira, Sandra Chaves and Washington Guimaraes.

We pray they will grow in divine love and faith!
