Register now for this year's upcoming Men's Retreat February 8th-10th.....Early in the new year the men of Saint Catherine join men from other parishes around the state and head to Holy Family Passionist Retreat Center in West Hartford. Its a great mix of businessmen, professionals, seniors, lay people and clergy all coming together to attend interesting workshops, conferences, prayer services and enjoy some much needed free time. A retreat helps us regain balance and develop the necessary spiritual tools to access the presence of God in the midst of daily life. Your initial response to at-tending might be, "it's not for me" and the response from those who have attended would be, "you would be pleasantly surprised." CLICK FOR MORE DETAILS!!

Even though the Church has been doing this for some 2,000 years—it still takes a great deal of effort to bring the celebrations of the Mass to fruition. Click to read more!
