Mary’s Ministry
This ministry began by insuring that the sick and disabled of the Parish would have the opportunity to receive Holy Communion. The Eucharist is made available to our home-bound parishioners and residents of Crescent Point on Friday mornings through the efforts of this dedicated group of men and women. A second group attends to the residents of Bridebrook Health Center on Sunday mornings following the 9:00 a.m. liturgy. Members are individuals with a sincere desire to help others, are Roman Catholics in good standing and are registered members of our Parish. Call Helen Fortin at 860-739-9236.
Bridebrook Ministry
Activities include weekly visits to residents of Bridebrook Health Center, ecumenical prayer service, monthly Mass, and providing compassion and encouragement to Catholic residents. Please call Richard Havens at 860-739-6837.
Chaplaincy at L&M
Assist in the chaplain’s office or bring communion to Catholics who are hospitalized at Lawrence & Memorial Hospital one Sunday per month. Please call the L&M Chaplain’s office at 860-442-0711, x 2305.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
The Prayer Shawl Ministry has been in existence both St. Agnes and St. Matthias for many years. We are a group of women who like to extend our knitting and crocheting skills in prayerful love and concern to members of our community, friends, family and beyond. The ministry is extremely rewarding for both the giver and recipient alike.
We are always looking for new members – anyone who is interested in joining this ministry, by either attending meetings and knitting/crocheting with the group or working independently at home is welcome. If you don’t know how to knit or crochet, we can help you get started with easy patterns. We supply the yarn and patterns or you can use your own.
If you would like to share your talents and God’s love with others or know someone who is in need of a prayer shawl, please use the following contact information:
- St. Agnes: Claire Walsh at 860-739-3171
- St. Matthias: Pat Spagnolo 860-739-6610 and Rose Sinagra 860-739-6060
