Archbishop Blair's Statement on Respect Life Month - October 2020

A message from Fr. Shawn and Fr. Josh...

October 18, 2020 

Dear Parishioners,
Per State of Connecticut guidelines, as of Thursday, October 8, 2020, we are now able to welcome up to 200 people in attendance for public Masses. Please be assured that we are continuing to provide for social distancing in both of our parish churches via roping off pews, everyone must wear a mask, making hand sanitizer readily available, and cleaning the churches after Masses. We will also be making announcements before communion to remind all of our parishioners of the guidelines for receiving the Eucharist (maintain at least two pew-lengths when in line, encouraging parishioners to receive communion via hand, if you wish to receive communion on the tongue please wait until the end of the line).
We realize that many of our parishioners are still uncomfortable returning to public Masses. Archbishop Blair has granted dispensation to attend Sunday Mass to everyone in the Archdiocese of Hartford through November 28, 2020 in light of the current situation. We still encourage everyone to participate in the Masses offered by our parish online via Facebook and our website, or via the television Masses from the Office of Radio & Television or EWTN. Also, please remember your parish needs your financial support even when you are not able to attend. Weekly offertory may be mailed to the rectory offices or you can sign up for online giving via our website at www.annunciationnewington.com
Please be assured that we are praying for you all, and we appreciate your prayers!

​Peace,
Fr. Shawn and Fr. Josh

Miss hearing our Music Ministry? They're coming to you!
During our time apart, members of various Music Ministries are coming together by the magic of video editing to perform together for you. They are presenting pieces they had worked on for masses that we were not able to attend, old favorites, and songs specially chosen to offer comfort, hope, and joy during this difficult time. We hope you enjoy our gift of music!

This is the tenth year of our Music Ministry’s Chamber Orchestra!
In lieu of the annual summer session and instrumental Mass weekend, members of the Chamber Orchestra learned and recorded their parts to two pieces to be edited together into group performance recordings and videos. The recordings were played at Masses at St. Mary, and now you can watch the group in action too!
Thank you to all of the members of the orchestra for their hard work on this project!
