You are Invited - Please Come

The scaffolding has been removed. New grass has been

planted. Painting and carpet work is complete. Our renewed

Parish Center, housing the Parish Offices, the Religious

Education and Youth Ministry Offices and a totally remodeled

Stapleton Social Hall is completed.

Due to the generosity of many wonderful people including

parishioners, staff and contractors, this long planned

development for St. Aloysius Parish is now a reality to be used

by all. Our Parish Census now numbers over 2500 families.

Our Religious Education Program serves over 1100 children.

As a Parish we are called to bring God’s presence to our

community of New Canaan whenever and however we can

serve the Lord and proclaim the Gospel in word and deed.

Next weekend is an opportunity to give thanks to God for

His special presence in the Holy Eucharist. On the Feast of

Corpus Christi, the Body and Blood of Christ, we reflect upon

this gift of the unique Presence of God in our Church. We also

take the opportunity to thank God for the blessing of our Parish

Community which helps us to make Him known and present in

the life of our Parish and the community it serves.

Please come celebrate with your fellow parishioners either

on Saturday evening at the Annual Feast of St. Aloysius or on

Sunday afternoon during our special Mass at 11:30 followed by

an Open House in our Parish Center from 1 PM – 4 PM.
