JANUARY 17 2016
Please be aware that there are now stricter legal and ethical
guidelines regarding the dissemination of patient infor-
mation from hospitals to churches and clergy. In addition,
today’s shorter hospital stays make timely pastoral visit
difficult at best. Therefore, if you have occasion to be hos-
pitalized and desire pastoral support, you or a family mem-
ber should do two things. Notify the rectory of the hospi-
talization as soon as possible. Also, upon admission to the
hospital you will be asked if you desire to have your reli-
gious affiliation noted as part of your medical record.
Please state both your denomination and parish. If you fail
to do either of the above, your parish priest may have no
way of knowing your needs.
Come and Talk With Us!
The Archdiocese of Hartford welcomes inquiries
from men seeking to serve the Church as priests or
deacons and from men and women who are discern-
ing a vocation to the consecrated life as a religious brother or
sister.
To talk about a priestly vocation, contact Father Jeffrey Gubbiot-
ti, Vocation Director, at 860-761-7456 or by email: voca-
“Come to the Table” is a program
we have set up which provides non-
perishable food items to families “at
any time” dur ing the year; based
on request. Should you know of a
family in need, please call Denise at
the church office (#387-7119). All family names will be
kept strictly confidential.
The food pantry, which supplies food for the Come to the
Table program, is “ALWAYS” in need of new inventory;
year round. Financial contributions and donations of non-
perishable food items are always needed to keep this pro-
gram up and running. Please leave your donations in the
rear of either church.
Just to let you know! Note! On weekdays when the Woodbridge School
District is closed the 9:00AM Mass is celebrated at the
Center Road Church.
