Around the Archdiocese

Saint Marianne Cope Parish has a supply of Sadlier books for Grades 1 through 6 to donate if any school can use them. If interested, please call Jan Albetski at 860-623-4636 or email jana@smceastwindsor.org.

Join us as we take time to reflect on the meaning of Advent. Our time together will incorporate discussion on the many ways we can enter into the season of Advent. We will share practical ideas for preparing for Advent such as scripture, prayer, meditations and more.

Southington Catholic School is in need of a large projection screen. This is allow us to project videos to a large audience in our gym and cafeteria for special events. Our Veterans Day event would be the first occasion to use this video aid. Thank you. Please respond to: malexander@southingtoncatholicschool.org Thank you

A day of skiing and a weekend retreat all rolled into one. This retreat based on the Transfiguration will get students to think about where they recognize Jesus in their lives. It may also appeal to some students who might not regularly participate because of the ski component. Jesus brought Peter, James and John up the mountain, who will you bring? Don't like the date, but like the concept, no problem, contact Trinita to see what other dates are available. Want to run it for Young adults? We can do that as well.
