HAMDEN

Sitting here on Sunday afternoon. For a few days now we

have heard about the coming hurricane, Henri. We were

prepared. People made emergency plans. It was going to be

a big event. Wind, rain, a category 1 hurricane. A direct hit

to New Haven.

Though it did come, most of us were spared the worst. For

those who got hit, things were rough. But for most of us

the preparation left us with a quiet afternoon.

I hope that you relaxed, rested and took things in stride.

I did get caught up on some work that needed to be done,

but really had a relaxing afternoon. Maybe it is a good

thing before the fall busy schedule begins.

Some music is playing in the background. I am considering

things that need to be done and offering a prayer of guid-

ance to the Holy Spirit for the name of our new parish

along with prayers of thanksgiving that the storm was not

so bad for most of us.

Take some time to be quiet every day. It is a gift of the

Lord. “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46

Msgr. Joe

ALPHA

A SPIRITUAL INITIATIVE FOR

HAMDEN PARISHES

Thank you for praying to the Holy Spirit to guide the

hearts of all who are taking the Alpha course.

Congratulations to

Gregory Szkop and Janie Jannitto

on their marriage on August 28th, 2021.

May God bless their married love.

Update on masks in church

Archbishop Blair has asked and recommended that

all people wear masks in church. While this is not a

mandate, it is a strong recommendation. This is for

your safety and the safety of others in church.

Eucharistic Ministers will continue wearing masks

while distributing Holy Communion.

Thank you for wearing masks in church.

Are you, or someone you know, interested in learning

more about the Catholic faith? The Rite of Christian

Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is beginning soon. You

are invited to an introduction with questions and

answers on September 14, 7:00 pm Donnelly Parish

Center Divine Mercy Parish. Watch the bulletin for

brief descriptions of the RCIA process. We look for-

ward to welcoming you.

For further information contact: Laura Zambrano, at

[email protected]; 203-288-6155.

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)

RCIA Beginning Phase

The time of Inquiry

This is the time when much of the instruction takes

place. During this period, which goes until Lent, In-

quirers learn much about the Church and declare their

intention to continue to study about the Catholic faith.

As an inquirer moves ahead, he or she is formally

accepted with the intention to become a member of the

Catholic Church. Inquirers begin to explore Catholic

beliefs, values, prayer, spirit and mission. Throughout

the entire process, questions and concerns are

encouraged and addressed.
