WHEN YOU ARE HOSPITALIZED.
Please be aware that there are now stricter legal and ethical guidelines regarding, the dissemination of patient, information 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 hospitalized and desire pastoral support, you or a family member should do two things. Notify the rectory of the hospitalization as soon as possible. Also, upon admission to the hospital you will be asked if you desire to have your religious 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
THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD
The Archdiocese of Hartford welcomes inquiries from young men seeking to serve the Church as priests. We also would like to help direct those men and women in discerning a vocation in the consecrated life as a religious sister, brother or deacon. Call Director of Vocations,
