Over 100 people joined in the Stations of the Cross and later a wonderful potluck dinner today at Immaculate Conception Church of St Luke Parish in Southington. The growing Polish parish community has been drawing people young and old, including many back to Holy Mother Church. The people of the parish organized the event with Fr David Madejski and brought tons of homemade food for everyone to share. See for yourself!

Davidem Madejskim i przynieśli mnóstwo domowych potraw, którymi każdy mógł się podzielić. Sami zobaczcię!

“Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.” - St Francis de Sales

“The Eucharist bathes the tormented soul in light and love. Then the soul appreciates these words, ‘Come all you who are sick, I will restore your health’.”

Thanks to the support of Archbishop Blair of for providing such a great priest in Fr Madejski who is inspiring young men to discern the call to priesthood. His devotion to Our Lord in the liturgy is evident.

Since he has restored traditional elements, like candles and crucifix on the altar, there has been growth.
Rising mass attendance and nearly full participation, the now beautifully decorated church with altar servers assisting at Holy Mass, that is the Polish mass at Immaculate Conception in Southington. Please continue to pray for the continued growth of young families who are drawn to Catholic beauty and tradition at this little church.

It would be amazing to see the rest of Southington’s churches follow the lead of the Archbishop in encouraging vocations via beautiful liturgy and strong preaching.

From the beautiful festivities to honor Our Lady of Częstochowa on her feast this past Friday.

Such a welcome sight to see a dedicated young priest leading a congregation to Our Lord through His mother. Praying the rosary in English and Polish, chanting the Salve Regina, and singing Polish hymns to Our Lady.

This is , this is The Faith. A pleasantly full church of believers coming together to worship Our Lord.

“I hate Ash Wednesday.”
A quote from a priest in his homily this year on Ash Wednesday.

Please pray for priests, they are here for the salvation of souls and they need much prayer.

Happy Feast of St. Joseph!!

My patron, St André Bessette had an incredible devotion to St Joseph and had said “When you do invoke St. Joseph, you don’t have to say much. Say ‘if you were in my place, St. Joseph, what would you do? Well, pray for this on my behalf.”
