Following up on my recent pastoral letters on Mass schedules and pastoral re-alignments, I am now writing to address all priests, deacons, parishes and parishioners regarding the need for us to address the future of pastoral coverage in Vermont.

Please take a moment to read my latest Pastoral Letter: https://www.vermontcatholic.org/vermont/pastoral-letter-christ-is-our-sure-foundation/

Ascension Parish Community - We'd like to provide an update on our weatherization project:

The project was completed over the course of last week M-F. Contractors spent the week removing old fiberglass insulation and replacing it with a combination of closed-cell spray foam and blown-in cellulose insulation. They also put weather stripping on the doors and caulked areas where there was air infiltration. On Saturday, a group of parishioners did a deep cleaning--putting things back together and ready for Sunday Mass.

Next steps:
- The ceiling in entry will need to go back up.
- The energy auditor will inspect and conduct another blower door test post-project to measure the improvement.
- Fundraising is still underway and we've almost closed the gap, thanks to the generosity of many parishioners. (Remaining gap is currently $924)

A big shout out to NP Foam and our building auditor, Jim Bradley of Authenticated Building Performance Diagnostics for their care and attention to detail!

With the prediction of bitterly cold weather this weekend please do not put yourselves at risk in the frigid cold. If you are concerned about this, the obligation to attend Mass is not binding.

Hello Friends & Brothers - This Wednesday 9/17, the men's prayer group will meet at Ascension at 7 PM.

We’ll be sharing the first part of a video on St. Joseph that I thought provides really helpful insight on his life and his impact as a saint in our world today. We'll then spend time with a Gospel reading and quiet time before the Tabernacle.

Rest in Peace 🙏🏼

On behalf of the Diocese of Burlington, I extend my prayers for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis. The Holy Father was a powerful witness to the mercy of God, the fraternity of all humanity and especially to the need for us to care for those on the peripheries of society. May he know the new and eternal life promised to those who have placed their lives in the hands of the Risen Christ.

O God, immortal shepherd of souls, look on your people’s prayers and grant that your servant Pope Francis, who presided over your Church in charity, may, with the flock entrusted to his care, receive from your mercy the reward of a faithful steward.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Memorial Mass for Pope Francis will be celebrated at St. Joseph Cathedral on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at 5:30 PM. St. Joseph Cathedral will be open on Thursday April 24, 2025 for prayers for the Pope starting after the 12:00 Noon Mass until the Memorial Mass at 5:30 PM.

All are welcome to attend as we pray for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis.
