“I am the Lady of the Rosary...Pray the Rosary every day."

- Mary to the children at Fatima

Dear St. Mary Friends,

Priests’ Convocation and Daily Mass Next Week

Every 3 years, priests of the Diocese have gathered in convocation for prayer, fellowship and renewal. Due to COVID we have not done so since 2017. Now 5 years later we will be meeting Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week (Oct. 10-12). As a result, Mass will be offered in regions of the diocese, but not in every parish. There will be no Monday through Wednesday Masses at St. Mary’s.

Please pray for the continued and deepening renewal of our priests on these days and take note of the Masses the Bishop has arranged in our area on those 3 days.

Brookfield: St. Joseph at 7:45 AM - 1 Obtuse Hill Rd.

Danbury: St. Joseph at 12:05 PM - 8 Robinson Ave; St. Peter at 7:30 AM - 104 Main St.

Wilton: Our Lady of Fatima at 9:00 AM (Mon., Wed.), 12:15 PM (Tues.) - 229 Danbury Rd.

For a complete listing of all masses in the Diocese on these days, see here:

125^th Jubilee Public Rosary Oct. 23, 1:15 PM Ballard Park

Today, October 7, is the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. As we announced last weekend, our next Jubilee event is a public rosary. Why public? To gratefully and unashamedly thank the Lord for his blessings in our parish for so many years; to thank him for our personal blessings, to publicly and confidently declare our faith in his beauty and goodness; to pray for peace; and to publicly and lovingly honor our patroness, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God.

Please mark your calendars, arrange your schedules, ready your children and grandchildren to be a part of our prayer together. Bring blankets, bring chairs, food or beverage for afterward so we can enjoy some time together. Also, know that the Chez Lenard hot dog cart will be present for anyone who would like to enjoy fine cuisine.

Rosary for Our Country, Saturday, October 15 at Noon

At Fatima, Our Lady asked that the rosary be prayed for holiness and the conversion of people and countries, and in reparation for sins. Honoring her request, an annual rosary for our country has been said for years at St. Mary. So, in this Month of the Rosary and Respect Life Month, we will gather around the Calvary Scene on the lawn behind the church. Those who might have difficulty standing, should bring a chair.

Blessings,
