Marlborough's Sustainable CT Team
The Town of Marlborough is engaged in an effort to determine the sustainable food needs within our community. "Marlborough's Sustainable CT Team" is attempting to first gauge the awareness of its citizens of the food outlet programs and services which currently exist in Town and the opportunities we ALL have to voluntarily participate with donations of food to these same programs and service outlets. In support of "Marlborough's Sustainable CT Team", we ask all St. John Fisher parishioners to complete a very basic, 7-question awareness survey. The survey forms are at the exits. A receptacle box for complete forms is there, also. You can also drop your form off at Town Hall. In addition, you may also access the survey by clicking this link, where you can complete it, but will have to print it and drop it off here at church or at Town Hall. The added goal of the "TEAM" is to also satisfy certain State of Connecticut criteria which could hopefully bring added financial relief to our local food relief programs. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey.
Thank you very much.

“Building our Faith, One Page at a Time”
Welcome to the Lord’s Table!
Easter is the season of initiation, and we are thrilled to celebrate our First Holy Communion class. We ask that you continue to keep these children, who received the sacrament last Saturday, May 6th, in your prayers and congratulate them and their families.
Mother’s Day Spiritual Bouquet Mass Intentions
Envelopes are available at the entrances to the church for those wishing to honor their Mother, living or deceased, with a spiritual bouquet. The names of the Mothers will be placed on the altar for the month of May and included in the Mass intentions.
Parish Library
Take a moment to visit the library display in the vestibule which features selections on our Blessed Mother Mary available from our parish library. As spring explodes around us, we invite you to check out a book from the library as a way to explore, deepen and enhance your faith.
Pope Francis Prayer Intention for May
We pray that Church movements and groups may rediscover their mission of evangelization each day, placing their own charisms at the service of needs in the world.
First Communion Class
Congratulations to our second grade First Communion Class as they received the beautiful Sacrament of First Communion receiving Christ more fully through the Eucharist. May we all approach the altar with the same sense of wonder, awe and enthusiasm that this special group exhibited during their mass.

Did you realize . . . One of the greatest traditions we have within the Catholic faith is having a Mass said for a loved one whether they are living or deceased. By doing this, we are offering Christ himself for the intention we indicate. Considering that the Mass is the highest form of communal prayer, offering a Mass up for a loved one is a beautiful expression of faith. Masses can also be said as an expression of gratitude, to celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday or as we are reminded by the Council of Trent: "for the living and the dead, for sins, punishments, satisfactions, and other necessities."
