Make a Difference
“Every dollar makes a difference in covering our expenses,” says a Trappist abbot. Hundreds of US religious communities struggle to provide for aging
members because most senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests served for little
pay. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps these communities bridge the gap, offering support for medications, nursing care, and other
ne-cessities. Please be generous. Advent Confession Schedule Monday Nov 30-Thursday Dec. 17
The Southington priests have decided a Confession schedule for the season of Advent. Hopefully, eve-ryone will have an opportunity to go to Confession before Christmas. The priests will be having

Christmas Masses
Pope Francis issued an indult to the entire Church that all priests are able to offer four Masses on Christmas Eve and four Masses on Christmas Day. By Canon Law a priest is able to offer only three Masses on a given Sunday or Holy Day of Obligation. Archbishop Leonard Blair, on Monday November 23, 2020 extended the papal indult for the See of Hartford, CT. With this in mind, the Archbishop reminded us of the necessity of taking more stringent precau-tions because of the rise of COVID-19 across the country. In order to attend Masses on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day there will be sign ups. You may reserve your spot by calling the St.
Aloysius Office at (860) 276-9208 or by
email-ing staloysius@AOHCT.org. Once the Church
reaches 100 people for a given Mass time, it then
will be considered at capacity. Social distancing is a mandate and each person must wear a mask. There will be greeters to greet you as you enter the Church with the list of those of you who signed up for that particular Mass.
The following is the Mass schedule for the
two parishes:
Christmas Eve Mass (December 24, 2020)
3:00 PM at Immaculate Conception Church
5:00 PM at St. Aloysius Church
9:00 PM at St. Aloysius Church
12 Midnight at Immaculate Conception
Church (English and Polish Mass)
Christmas Day Mass (December 25, 2020)
7:30 AM at Immaculate Conception Church
9:00 AM at Immaculate Conception Church
(Polish Mass)
