Touching the Mysteries

Posted on May 10, 2011 by Jeff

Would you like to learn more about praying the mysteries of the Rosary through Scripture?

As a follow-up to our Lenten Journey Bible Study, we are are offering a 5-week study focusing on the biblical stories that provide background for the mysteries of the rosary.

The stories of Jesus are the best way to focus our prayer, and the rosary has provided a traditional format for doing this over the centuries.

After an overview session, there are four remaining sessions, each devoted to a set of mysteries – Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious.

Our Touching the Mysteries bible study is one of the popular Little Rock Scripture Studies.

Sessions will be Wednesday evenings in the church hall on May 18, 25, June 8,15, and 22 from 7:30-9:00 PM.

To register please contact Michael Martocci at 860-658-1369 or Maureen Kennedy at 860-604-5130.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Operation Rice Bowl

Posted on March 13, 2011 by Jeff

Each year, Operation Rice Bowl invites us to pray with our families and faith communities; fast in solidarity with those who hunger; learn more about our global community and the challenges of poverty overseas; and give sacrificial contributions to those in need.

CCD Students received their rice bowls on Sunday March 6.  We encourage our children to make small sacrifices of love for those less fortunate during the Lenten season.  We will be collecting them the last week of CCD on April 17 which is Palm Sunday.

Thank you in advance for supporting this worthwhile cause.
