Participation
| "All
will be encouraged and provided with opportunities to share in the
responsibility for the well-being, direction and fulfillment of the
mission of our church community. Our goal will be to establish a
"sense of partnership and belonging" in each member of our parish.
Special effort will be made to seek out and solicit support of
passive members of our parish community and encourage them to renew
their participation in all aspects of parish life. " |

Knights of Columbus
- In 1882, the first council of the Knights of Columbus was
founded in Connecticut and has grown into an international
society of more than 1.5 million. The Knights are a Catholic
men's fraternal organization dedicated to the values of
charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism. In June 1999, the
Father J. McCarthy Council, #12472, was established.
The K of C demonstrates their commitment to the church by
assisting with Mass and perpetual adoration; to the
community with the "Adopt a Highway" program and "Operation
Hope"; to the family with the "Family of the Month" program;
and to the youth by sponsoring a basketball tournament and a
youth drug awareness program. The K of C provides the muscle
and skills for various building projects around the church
such as landscaping, painting and carpentry projects.
Membership is open to men of the parish over 18.
