Celebrate with Us The Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe

On December 12, 2019, faithful from across our Diocese will gather at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick to celebrate The Annual Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Join us at 6:30pm to pray the Rosary and attend Confession. The bilingual  Eucharistic Celebration will begin at 7pm.
The Most Reverend Michael R. Cote, D.D., Bishop of Norwich is the Principal Celebrant. Following the Liturgical celebration, please join us for a fiesta of delightful music, delicious food & warm fellowship, as together we honor Our Lady and ask her intercession for peace in our hearts, in our homes, in our land, and in our world. A free-will offering will be asked to cover the cost of the buffet.


Do not let anything worry you; do not fear sickness, accident or pain. Am I not here, she who is your Mother? Are you not in the fold of my arms and under my protection? Is there anything else you need?”  Words of Our Lady to Juan Diego and to you.

The Promise of the Ascension
    Forty days after Easter Sunday, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord.
