Mass Intentions

Mass 01

Did you realize . . . One of the greatest traditions we have within the Catholic faith is having a Mass said for a loved one whether they are living or deceased.  By doing this, we are offering Christ himself for the intention we indicate.  Considering that the Mass is the highest form of communal prayer,  offering a Mass up for a loved one is a beautiful expression of faith.  Masses can also be said as an expression of gratitude, to celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday or as we are reminded by the Council of Trent: "for the living and the dead, for sins, punishments, satisfactions, and other necessities."

As St. Leonoard of Maurice reminds us:  Let us be diligent in hearing Mass as often as possible, and with all possible devotion; and furthermore, let us endeavor to have as many Masses as possible celebrated for our intention.   Mass intentions can be scheduled by contacting the St. John Fisher office at 860-295-0001.  Intentions can be offered for both weekly and weekend Masses for both the living and deceased with a  suggested donation of  $10.00 for a weekly Mass and $20.00 for a weekend Mass.  

Reflection:

James 3:13 ~ Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show his works by a good life in the humility that comes from wisdom.

St. John Fisher Parish Vision:

We are a beacon of God’s gracious and merciful love as we glorify His name through service to others; devotion to His teachings and His Son Jesus; and by maintaining a welcoming, accepting and embracing Catholic community of faith that judges none, embraces and protects the vulnerable, builds community of all ages and life stages and acts for the greater Glory of God.

St. John Fisher Parish Mission:

We provide an open, welcoming and active Catholic faith community that is inspired by the gifts of the Holy Spirit as we demonstrate our faith by (1) actively participating in Mass and the Sacraments, (2) by serving and ministering to others, (3) by exploring and sharing the Word and teachings of Jesus and (4) by openly embracing the various needs of our entire parish family and broader community in Christ.
