Saint Agnes Catholic Church

Blessings on all of you as we celebrate the great feast of Mary, the Holy Mother of God.

I’ve been asked by Bishop Michael Cote to make an announcement at all the Masses this weekend. Bishop Cote has appointed me as the next pastor of St. Joseph Parish in New London effective January 9, 2012. It is with mixed emotions that I leave St. Agnes to take on this new post. It has been a great joy serving each of you and getting to know you over the past 4 and half years, especially since this was my first parish as a pastor.   The Good News is that you have a very good priest who is intelligent, kind, compassionate and faith-filled who will be following me here.

Fr. Greg Mullaney is the pastor at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish on the campus of UCONN and will continue to bring a great deal of stability to the parish community here at St. Agnes.  I will remember you all in my thoughts and prayers and would ask you to pray for me in my new assignment. Thank you for all that you have done for me and for sharing your deep and abiding faith.

May you have a Happy,Healthy, and Holy New Year.

God Bless you and keep you always.

Fr. Mark
