Blessing of the Animals
Saturday, October 2nd 10:00a.m. - Holy Spirit Church

Thank you to all who came to the Blessing of the Animals! It was wonderful to have so many parishioners and their pets (and even a horse!) gathered together for this special blessing.

The feast day of St. Francis of Assisi is October 4th each year, and as many of us know St. Francis is often associated with the care and appreciation of animals.  Each year we have a special tradition of the Blessing of the Animals near the feast day of St. Francis, as many of us consider our furred and feathered friends very special members of our families.  We will have our Blessing of the Animals at Holy Spirit Church on Saturday, October 2nd at 10:00a.m.  Please bring your pets to the parking lot, rain or shine, and a special blessing will be offered for them.  

"God requires that we assist the animals, when they need our help. Each being (human or creature) has the same right of protection."
-St. Francis of Assisi

2021 Archbishop's Annual Appeal

This weekend marks the start of the 2021 Archbishop's Annual Appeal in our parish.  If you did not receive the 2021 Archbishop's Annual Appeal request mailing, please pick up a packet at the rear of the church as you leave this weekend.  As Catholics in the Archdiocese of Hartford we have a profound impact on our local communities not only in the spiritual realm, but intimately connected to it, the realm of social services and many charities and outreach services performed by, or with help from, our Church.
  • For the fifth year in a row, in 2020, the Archbishop's Annual Appeal Vicariate Outreach Program provided over $1,000,000 to over 200 local organizations in Hartford, Litchfield and New Haven counties.
  • Organizations such as the Newington Food & Fuel Bank right here in our own town received funding from the Appeal's Vicariate Outreach Program that makes a difference in serving our neighbors.
  • All funds contributed to the Archbishop's Annual Appeal are used exclusively for the purposes outlined in the Appeal literature, which can be found at https://archdioceseofhartford.org/appeal. No Appeal funds are ever used for legal fees or settlements.

Thank you!
