Dear Parishioners,This morning around 6:00a.m. a small fire broke out in the
conference room of the church. The fire was put out immediately and no one was
hurt. There was some damage done to the conference room but the rest of the
church building was not affected. Thank you to those who arrived early for the
7:00am Mass and reported the fire before it got out of control. Thank you, also,
to the Wallingford Fire Department who was at the scene in minutes.
