Mass of Healing and Hope

Come to Sacred Heart on Sunday, March 13 at 2pm as Father Ray Introvigne and Mrs. Judith Hughes lead a Mass of Healing and Hope.

Spiritual Renewal Services is a ministry of the Diocese of Norwich. The Charismatic Renewal Ministry in the Norwich Diocese is not a program, or a doctrine, but rather a spirituality, and an experience, a way of life, very deeply rooted in Sacred Scripture. It is a way of life by which a person develops a relationship with God and experiences the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. There are currently more than 15 million people who have experienced this in the United States alone! At the very heart of the Charismatic Renewal is the personal awareness of the presence and power of God dwelling within a person. Thus, one is encouraged to live one’s life led by the Holy Spirit. Call Spiritual Renewal Services (860) 887-0702 today!

Mardi Gras

Our celebration of this Carnival season ends with the rapidly-approaching celebration of Mardi Gras!

Plan to join us as we celebrate Fat Tuesday this year in style on March 8 at 6:30pm.

It’s a pot-luck festivity, so it’s time to start thinking about what you’d like to bring. Make your most decadent and lusty dishes, because this festival has to carry us through the entire austere season of Lent!

Sign up sheets for the pot-luck dinner will be at the entrances of the Church.

Included with the pot-luck dinner will be the selection of prayer partners for Lent.

Plan on attending and remember to take this opportunity to show off your crazy hats and beads!
