I would like to apologize for the confusion concerning the tag sale at the former St. Augustine School.  However, since organizing the tag sale is taking much more work than I originally anticipated, I am postponing the tag sale till the end of the summer, so that we may be adequately prepared to hold a successful tag sale.  We will set a date once we are confident that we are fully prepared.  Meanwhile, we are still looking for volunteers to move and organize things.           Fr. Thomas Walsh
 
Les pido disculpas por la confusión concerniente al Tag Sale en la Antigua escuela San Agustín. Como la organización de éste  está tomando mas tiempo  y trabajo de lo que anticipé, lo estoy posponiendo al final del verano, para que estemos preparados adecuadamente y organicemos un  el Tag Sale exitoso. Una vez confiados en que estamos preparados completamente designaremos una fecha. Mientras tanto, todavía necesitamos voluntarios para mover y organizar cosas.       Padre Thomas Walsh

Below is the letter sent to all families registered in the parish and those not registered were able to obtain a copy at the entrances of the church.

So that we can experience Our Holy Father’s first apostolic visit to America together as an Archdiocesan family, Archbishop Blair will keep a personal “Travelogue” of his experiences, impressions and inspirations as he travels to Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, Sept. 22 – 27. The Archbishop will take part in this joyous occasion with more than 250 pilgrims from the Archdiocese of Hartford along with millions of worldwide participants.

In real-time, you can read or hear the Archbishop’s Travelogue at or on:

• the Archdiocesan website www.archdioceseofhartford.org and also where you can submit your intentions and/or access a Q&A with the Archbishop.
• Twitter where @ArchbishopBlair will use #AOHCTpilgrims .

Look to the October 2015 issue of the Catholic Transcript for extensive coverage of the Papal Pilgrimage, including Archbishop Blair’s Travelogue with photos.

What do you think pilgrims will gain from this experience? “To the extent that we come to the experience prayerfully and thoughtfully, we can expect a strengthening of faith, a deepening of love, and a renewal of hope. An overwhelming number of parishioners in the Archdiocese have told us that living a lifestyle characterized by the love of God and neighbor is the most important way in which we individually and collectively express our Catholic faith. The opportunity to hear an affirmation of this message from Pope Francis personally can only serve to strengthen us in our commitment to Christian living in union with other Catholics from around the world, gathered for the World Meeting of Families. Participating in the Pope’s Mass on Sunday, in particular, will be a memorable event for us all.” Archbishop Leonard P. Blair
