Good Friday – Stations of the Cross procession through town
April 15th 12pm – starting and ending at St. Francis, walk to Sacred Heart then St. Peter, with 3pm prayer service at St. Francis. There will be several stops along the way with a total of 14 stations. Final plans for the route are still being worked on.
Father Emmanuel would like our youth to participate, which we are working on. However, it is spring break and there are people that have already said they won’t be around. Anyone that has done this in the past and has information on the details of the procession, please pass it along. I would greatly appreciate it.
If you can help: Christine Delgrande <stjpgdirectorofministries@gmail.com
We are in need of a photographer for these events as well.

A message from the CT State Faith Director
Worthy Council Program and Faith Directors,
We would like to invite you and any interested Knights from your councils to attend the virtual Blessed McGivney Day of Reflection March 26 from 9 AM - 3 PM.
The Knights of Columbus Connecticut State Council will present a free virtual Blessed McGivney Day of Reflection on Saturday 3/26/22 from 9 AM – 3 PM. This event examines the spirituality of the founder of the Knights of Columbus, Blessed McGivney and the principles of Charity, Unity and Fraternity. The goal is to inspire and energize participants with knowledge and spiritual motivation to “continue his (McGivney) work of caring for the needy and the outcast”.* This work is a great way to obey Jesus’ new commandment in John’s Gospel, ”This is my commandment: love one another as I love you” (John 15:12). The presentation is virtual using Zoom technology. Activities, include prayer, presentations, talks, video and discussions.
This is open to all members of the Knights of Columbus.
For additional information, to register or help in joining contact: CT Faith Director / Retreat Program Director: David Imhof imhofda@aol.com, 860-604-4710.
The meeting room for this one day program will open up at 8:30 ET and the program will start at 9:00 AM and end at 3 PM with breaks and lunch time provided.
Activities include prayer, videos, presentations on Blessed McGivney’s charisms and Into The Breach as well as talks on the Eucharist, Charity, Unity and Fraternity and discussion time.
We have space for 100 participants at each event. Feel free to get your own ideas from this program to do this within your jurisdictions. We are open to help you in any way possible.

Vivat Jesus,
