Last Sunday's Homily by Fr. Jacinto... Hoping to start posting daily homilies on fb..

BELL TOWER UPDATE: BISHOP COTE BLESSES BELL (VIDEO) On Saturday, April 2, His excellency, Bishop Michael Cote, visited the Franciscan friary in Griswold, Ct. to bless the bell in the friary bell Tower. After a beautiful Mass celebrated by Bishop Cote, he and the friars and people processed over to the tower across from the church. This video catches the beautiful rite of blessing done by his excellency. After we all descended from the tower the bell was rung for the first time carrying the blessings that we know by faith radiate from a bell blessed by the local bishop. We are very grateful to Bishop Michael Cote for graciously coming to the friary for this special and important occasion. The friars are so pleased now to ring the bell and hear the blessed sounds that we pray will dispel evil spirits and reverberate many blessings to the town of Griswold and beyond. Thanks be to our Lord and Our Lady and St. Joseph for this final blessing on our bell tower!

BELL TOWER UPDATE: ELEVATION OF VIRGIN MARY STATUE ATOP TOWER Ave Maria! Friars and friends watch as the six-foot solid marble statue of the Virgin Mary is finally lifted, as if in another Assumption, forty-five feet in the air to Her final resting place atop the highest point of the Griswold bell tower.

Here is a video on the bell tower we produced back in 2011. Ave Maria!
