May Newsletter

Dear Friends, It has been over a month now since public Masses have been
suspended. To say that Holy Week and Easter were very different this year would
be an understatement. Hopefully you have been able to watch Mass virtually on
Facebook and/or YouTube. We know it’s not the same, but at least we have these
social media platforms to keep us connected to one another. All of us here at
the Church of the Resurrection continue to pray for your good health and safety
during this pandemic. Please pray for us as well. Let’s hope that sometime, very
soon, we will be able to gather together again in our beloved church to
celebrate the greatest of all prayers; the Mass. Many thanks to all who so
generously continue to support our parish during this difficult time. Also,
thank you to those who supported our parish raffle this year… even without the
carnival. Again, we can’t thank you enough! May God’s continued blessing come
upon you and your families now and forever.​​PUBLIC MASSES All Public Masses
continue to be suspended throughout the month of May.Sunday Mass will continue
to be streamed live on Facebook at 10:30am. If you have Facebook account, you
should have access to the Mass. https://www.facebook.com/ResurrectionCTFor those
who do not have a Facebook account, the Mass will be uploaded to YouTube shortly
after the livestream is over. Here’s the link.
