Masses at OLMC Church

Weekend Mass schedule:  Saturdays 4:00pm, Sundays 8:15 & 10:15am.   

As of Saturday, May 22nd,  the general dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass in person on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation will no longer be in force.  However, since the risk of infection though diminished, still remains, the following individuals may very legitimately decide not yet to attend church:  those suffering from serious pre-existing conditions making them more susceptible to COVID-19; those who are ill or homebound or who are caregivers in close contact with someone who is; those who have tested positive for any contagious disease, including COVID-19; and those who are in quarantine due to exposure to any contagion or who reside with someone who is quarantined.

Streaming Masses

Live streaming of the 8:15 Mass will only be the first Sunday of the Month.  You can watch this Mass on this Facebook page. Also, on YouTube.

HOW TO REPORT AN INCIDENT OF SEXUAL ABUSE

If you have knowledge or suspect that a minor or vulnerable adult (an adult with an intellectual disability) has been sexually abused, in any manner, by personnel of the Archdiocese of Hartford, you are urged to report this information to:  Kathleen D. Nowosadko, Victim Assistance Coordinator 860-541-6475 or kathleen.nowosadko@aohct.org.  In addition, you will be asked to follow up in writing with a detailed description of the facts involved in the incident.  Specifics of this written  report can be found in the Policies and Procedures of the Archdiocese of Hartford Relating to Allegations of Sexual Misconduct Involving Minors and Vulnerable Adults.  This document is also available online at www.archdioceseofhartford.org.  The Archdiocese of Hartford will report any and all incidents to the proper civil authorities.

Mandated reporters in the State of CT are required by law to report any incident of sexual abuse involving a minor or vulnerable adult.  We encourage any Non-Mandated persons to report such incidents to the proper authorities as well.  We support your right to do so.
