PUBLIC CELEBRATION of SUNDAY MASS HAS RESUMED In coordination with the Archdiocese of Hartford, parishes of the Diocese of Norwich may resume the public celebration of Sunday Mass, including any anticipated Mass(es) on Saturday evening, beginning the weekend of July 4 and 5.

Please note: the limitation on gatherings for religious worship, as amended by Executive Order No. 7SS of Governor Lamont, remains in effect. By this order, indoor gatherings are limited to 25% of capacity of the indoor space or a maximum of 100 people, whichever is smaller. Seating for St. Francis is 50.

These limits presume strict adherence to social distancing guidelines which require six (6) feet of distance between individuals and households.

Dispensation:

The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains in effect until further notice. Mass will also be live streamed from St. Andrew Church on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM. 

Christmas Mass will be streamed at 4:00 PM Christmas Eve and 9:30 AM Christmas Day.
