Keep me out of your way. ~ Fr. Mychal Judge

"Even in the absence of a civil requirement, masks should be worn by all and social distancing should be maintained appropriately, including in the communion line."
"For now, it would be best to refrain from unnecessary circulation in church, from processions and from greeting people before and after Mass."
"With regard to music, it would be best to keep it at a minimum or reserved only for a cantor/organist. If more than one is singing, they should be at least 5 feet apart and 12 feet apart from the priest and others." I take it from this restriction that will be NO CONGREGATIONAL SINGING FOR NOW.
The Archbishop also regrets the burden of these restrictions."Charity, however, as well as the duty to take reasonable care of our physical health and to protect that of others, requires measures commensurate with the seriousness of the threat that is posed. I am grateful for your cooperation. I pray daily for your good health and that of the people.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Leonard P Blair
Archbishop of Hartford"

Many thanks for your generosity and care that made STJF's Christmas Giving program such a success and how do we measure success? We measure success by what it adds to the lives of others for ImmaCare: warm gloves, socks, thermal wear and undergarments to protect from the cold and new shower curtains for bathrooms; for Marlborough Healthcare: bright calendars to welcome each new day and month, stationery to connect with loved ones, puzzles to gather together and warm sweaters and throws to experience the embrace of care; for Sacred Sweats: sweat suits to start off a new life free of incarceration; and for A Hand Up: pillows to provide rest in newly established and furnished housing. With gratitude for touching the lives of others and for spreading the gift of Christmas giving to last throughout the new year ahead!
We celebrate the 45th anniversary of the dedication of St. John Fisher Church on February 15, 2021. Like the town of Marlborough itself, the parish was carved out of already existing communities. By the early 1970s, Marlborough’s growing Catholic population was worshipping in several nearby towns, including East Hampton, Colchester and Glastonbury.
