Deacon Gesualdo Schneider will lead us in a retreat as we spend a day with “Jesus’ Family.” This event is open to all women aged 18 and over. The event is free and will include lunch.

(More information will be forthcoming.)

Attend A Life Symposium On October 2, 2021, at the Doubletree by Hilton in Burlington. Constitutional Law professor and pro-life champion Helen Alvare, co-founder of Women Speak for Themselves, will provide the keynote address at this day-long conference focusing on issues related to Proposal 5, a dangerous amendment aimed at enshrining the right to abortion in Vermont’s Constitution, and expected to be put before voters in November 2022.

The Diocese of Burlington joyfully celebrates the ordination of two men to the diaconate. Mr. Michael Knowles will be ordained to the permanent diaconate and Mr. Brandon Schneider will be ordained to the transitional diaconate by Bishop Christopher Coyne at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph. This event is open for all who wish to attend. For those unable to be with us physically for the liturgy, the Mass will be live-streamed on the Diocesan website.

Fr. Kevin Chalifoux and Fr. Matthew Rensch coridally invite you to celebrate the life and teachings of Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman on Sunday, October 10th, at Holy Family Church Hall in Essex Junction, from 4 – 8:00 pm.
