FROZEN TURKEYS NEEDED

St. Thomas Parish will once again be involved with the preparation and delivery of Christmas food baskets. This year, to 250 local families in need. Although it may seem early, the Thanksgiving season is the best time to take advantage of the lowest prices on turkeys. Anyone wishing to donate a turkey may do so by delivering it to the rectory between 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM Monday-Friday. The collection of other food basket items will begin with the Thanksgiving day Mass and continue through mid December. If you have any questions you may call Mark Drechsler at 860-621- 4980 or Sara Nadeau at 860-620-4559

- Monday of the Thirty-third Week in Ordinary Time
  
  Reading 1 1 Mc 1:10-15, 41-43, 54-57, 62-63
  Responsorial Psalm Ps 119:53, 61, 134, 150, 155, 158
  Gospel Lk 18:35-43
Ask Father:

Question: : Father, why is the back gate (Belleview entrance) of the cemetery always locked?
Answer: It is closed and locked when the cemetery workers are gone. It’s only ever open when they are here as a service entrance connecting to the office and garage. When they go, that gate and the side gate on Meriden Avenue (near the columbarium) are closed and locked. This helps prevent people cutting through and helps secure the property. It has cut down on the vandalism in the cemetery. When people say it is such an inconvenience to drive around, I remind them that it is just one block. It isn’t like you have to drive an additional 10 miles. To keep the grounds safe, we secure those service entrances when the workers are not there to watch over the property. It has helped make it safer and cleaner. That’s why it is closed.
