Church parking on March 11
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Christ is among us!
Tomorrow, Sunday, March 11th is the St. Patrick’s Day celebration and the City of New Haven has their parade starting at 1:30 p.m. Our church is only one block from the parade route and the church and Knights of Columbus will be raising some funds by using the church parking lot for attendees to the parade.
If you are attending the 2nd Divine Liturgy there will be Knights of Columbus members to direct your parking upon arrival. We want to keep all the parishioners parked to one side of the lot to allow paid parkers to use the other side. This will also allow easier flow when leaving after the Mass. The parade steps off at 1:30 p.m.
Parishioners who wish to attend the parade may leave their car in the lot after Mass. The Knights will have water and soda for sale if you wish to take some to the parade.
We thank you for your support and cooperation, God Bless.
Hank Lindgren
Grand Knight, Knights of Columbus

Allan Yursha falls asleep in the Lord
Allan Yursha, 82, of Wallingford, died peacefully at home March 4, 2018. He was the beloved husband of Mary Ann (Herceg) Yursha.Third Sunday of the Great Fast
The first half of the Great Fast tells us the stories of Adam and Eve and their children, and the flood of Noah. It is a story of the creation of a perfect world and how that has been marred by human sin. It tells of the end of paradise, “The Lord God therefore banished him from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he had been taken. He expelled the man, stationing the cherubim and the fiery revolving sword east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life” (Genesis 3:23-24).
