A group of approximately 90 volunteers from St. John Fisher and the Marlborough Congregational Church joined forces during the HOTTEST weekend in July to serve 14 households in town. This first annual effort spanned three days, July 19 - July 21, and was highlighted by a kick-off barbecue, lunches each day, a Saturday Mass and pizza gathering and a wrap-up ice cream social for all volunteers and the residents whose homes we serviced. These gatherings were only made possible due to the generous donation of our air-conditioned St. Thomas More Hall and the volunteers who staffed these events!

Our parish is supporting the back-to-school  Our parish is supporting the back-to-school needs of Marlborough residents whose children need a bit of extra help with school supplies. Please return the supplies to church no later than this weekend. 

Thanks in advance for starting out the school year of our Marlborough residents in a positive and ready-to-learn way!

The garden is doing great this year thanks to our faithful, core of volunteers! Anyone is still welcome to join us on Monday nights at 6:30pm to work on the garden. We are harvesting and donating to the Marlborough Food Bank weekly. If you have extra produce from your garden and would like to donate along with the church donations, bring them by on Monday evenings or to Mass on the weekends and place them in the basket provided.

Thanks to each and ever one of you for your part in the success of the St. John Fisher Community Garden.

BIRTHRIGHT of Greater Hartford THANKS YOU for a great response to the Baby Bottle Fundraiser! Birthright has served pregnant women in crisis in the Hartford area since 1972. Thousands of expectant mothers have received the help they need to bring their babies into the world!

We are very grateful for your support. It makes this lifesaving work possible.In 2017, 184 women called who were either pregnant or thought they might be.  We provided free pregnancy tests for 48 women and friendship counseling for 152.  One in five callers were considering abortion.   Of those who were pregnant and with whom we worked, 86% gave birth to their children. Ninety-nine babies were born.

July 19th - July 21st, 2019 

We are thrilled this summer to be partnering with the youth and adults of the Marlborough Congregational Church by participating in a combined Marlborough Summer Service weekend in July. Teams of youth (grade 5 through college students home for the summer) will be paired with adult site leaders to work on various projects within our community. The focus is to provide help for those in need such as the veterans and veteran's families, those dealing with a disability, low income or the elderly. If you or someone you know is in need of such support (yard work, cleaning out and organizing, painting, window washing, simple house maintenance, etc) please get in touch with Father Sas or Barbara Meyer at the Parish Office
