My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
Bishop Caggiano has announced that the Bridgeport Diocese will begin a gradual return to the public celebration of Mass. His letter to the faithful can be accessed by clicking on the link to the left. Updated information from our diocesan, including guidelines for the resumption of Masses, can be accessed through the "Diocesan Resources" link.
As our parish anticipates a return to the public celebration of Mass, we are looking for volunteers to ensure that we adhere to the diocesan guidelines. Each and every Mass will require a team of volunteers whose duties will include such things as distributing facemasks before Mass, ensuring proper physical distancing between people, and sanitizing pews after Mass. If you would like to volunteer, please call or email the parish office.
First Holy Communion will take place on Saturday, July 11. For full details, and other news from our religious education program, please visit the "Faith Formation" section of our website.
St. Peter is live streaming our Sunday Masses in English (10:30am) and Spanish (5pm). If you miss the live stream, Masses can be viewed throughout the week on demand. English Masses are also available on demand on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/user112390986.

Several parishioners received an email from someone impersonating Fr. Mecca. Please note that neither Fr. Mecca nor the parish office will solicit for money or ask you to do anything through email. Theses emails are a scam. Do NOT open them or reply to them.
