Holy and Great Friday Procession at the Parish 2018

Yesterday, those in attendance at the Holy and Great Friday service for the adoration and veneration of the Holy Shroud, formed an outdoor procession.

Holy Friday is the day that changed the world!

The Kondakion for the Liturgy helps us to understand the divine drama of the day: “Come, let us praise him who was crucified for us, for when Mary saw him hanging on the cross, she exclaimed: Though you endure the cross, still are you my son and my God.”

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
