WHAT CATHOLICS BELIEVE 2008-2009

All are welcome to learn more about what we as Catholics believe. These sessions for those who are looking to learn more about various aspects of our religion. As we progress through these sessions they will be used as the basis of our Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA). Plan to come to all or just attend the topics that peak your interest.

We gather at 6:15 PM in the school library with prayer starting at 6:30 PM and the sessions ending at 8:00 PM. Below are the dates and topics for the first four sessions:

Sept. 30 – A Walk through the Mass

Oct. 7 – Tour a Catholic Church

Some of the future topics – Sacred Scripture, How to make the most of Advent, Gifts of the Holy Spirit, The Blessed Mother, Angels & Saints and our Church calendar.

Archbishop’s Annual Appeal

Dear Father Joe DiSciacca:

I wish to congratulate you and the good people of St. Joseph Parish for your generous support of this year’s Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. Your parish has certainly responded to this year’s campaign in a positive way and is truly committed to Sharing God’s Gifts throughout the Archdiocese. Please convey my gratitude to your parishioners for their edifying generosity.

Many exciting things are happening within our Archdiocese, and I look forward to continue working with you as we forge ahead to strengthen our community of faith. It is only with the generous hearts and minds of our parishioners that we can meet the growing demands for our pastoral, charitable and educational services.

Thank you for your leadership and continued enthusiasm. Be assured of my grateful prayers and continued best wishes for you and for all at St. Joseph Parish.

Fraternally in Christ,

+Most Reverend Henry J. Mansell
Archbishop of Hartford
