Thanksgiving Service On Sunday, November 18, our parish will host the Simsbury Interfaith Thanksgiving Service at 7:30 p.m. in the Church proper. Clergy from the Catholic Church and other Christian faiths, from Simsbury’s (Jewish) Synagogue, and the local Bloomfield (Muslim) Mosque will join with a combined choir from all churches for an hour-long Thanks-giving Prayer Service and Music. Immediately following this event a light collation will be offered in Russell Hall.

This is the first time Saint Catherine of Siena will host this Interfaith Service. I enthusiastically invite all parishioners to participate in this community event of Thanksgiving. Be part of our effort to welcome believers of other faiths into our home and join with them in giving thanks to God for His abundant blessing in our lives. I would also like to invite our Mass ushers to serve as greeters in welcoming our visitors to our church and help seat them in a unfamiliar surrounding. Additionally, bakers will be needed to help make light desserts for the collation to follow. Please let me know if you are able and willing to assist. Please call me at 860.658.1642.
