End of the year contribution statements:
…For those who use offertory envelopes, we will be sending out contribution statements by the end of January. If you received one last year you will automatically receive one for 2023. (If you called in late for it, your name might not be on the list – if you don’t receive a statement by the end of Jan., please call the office asap.) If you would like a first time statement, please call the office(203-734-0005) by mid-January. Thank you.

…Initial Offering for the church envelopes may be put into any collection basket. Your $5 donation helps to defray the cost of the box of envelopes. Thank you.

…During the winter months, the parish office may be closed in the event of inclement weather. When in doubt, please call ahead to see if the office is open.

Items for the upcoming bulletins should be sent to the Parish Office at least two weeks ahead of the Sunday you wish the item to be in the bulletin. This is necessary due to earlier deadlines and the possibility of inclement weather. Thank you.

…Phone messages may be left on the answering machine – and calls will be returned as soon as possible.

…Update of telephone numbers. Occasionally the office needs to contact a parishioner for various reasons and many times now the phone number we have on file is no longer in service. We will never share your number with anyone, but we would appreciate being updated.

SPECIAL ANOUNCEMENT REGARDING MASSES FOR 2025
A proposed updated schedule of Mass times beginning in 2025 has been submitted, as required, to the Archdiocese.  No confirmation yet has been received if this is acceptable therefore, we still not accept requests for Masses for 2025 at this time. Requests for Sanctuary Lamp intentions, Wine & Hosts and Pro Life Roses will continue as usual and may be sent in for 2025. Chapel Masses for this year are still accepted but not for 2025.

…If you are coming into the office to schedule a Mass, please plan on scheduling no more than three Masses. If you have a number of Masses to schedule, please send in or drop off your list with dates, intentions and offering. All checks should be made out to St. Michael’s Mass Account. They will be scheduled, and the list mailed back to you.

Please be considerate in the number of Masses you schedule. No more than 10 would be an appropriate number. This will help to accommodate more people who wish to schedule Masses. You can also schedule Masses to be said at the Vincentian Father’s Provincial house in Manchester ($20 offering for any Mass; make checks payable to Vincentian Fathers).

Please note the first Mass on Sunday is now at 8:30 am.

Weekend Masses are $30 and weekdays are $20 Chapel Masses here at St. Michael’s are $20 each. There are only a few 5:30pm Sunday Masses left for 2024. No other weekend Masses are available.

PLEASE NOTE: Mass Intentions may now be given for Masses to be celebrated in the Chapel in the Rectory. Masses will be scheduled during the week of (Mondays through Fridays) instead of by a particular day as there are times when only one Priest is home and must celebrate Mass in the Church. Masses can be scheduled for the remaining days of this year and for next year. Please send in request at least 2 weeks in advance. Mass intentions will be published in the bulletin. The stipend will remain at $20. Checks are to be made payable to St. Michael Church for Chapel Masses. Any questions call the Office.
