To our Parish Family:

Below is a link to a letter from Bishop Frank Caggiano, describing actions that our Diocese is taking to address the abuse crisis, to help heal those impacted by it and to rebuild confidence and trust in our Church.  At the same time I thank all those who responded to my invitation to write, email and /or meet with me about these serious issues. With this new letter I renew that invitation.

General Suggestions

Saint Mary Parish, a vibrant Roman Catholic Family of Faith, Love, and Service, located in beautiful Ridgefield, Connecticut, serves over 3,000 families in upper Fairfield County, CT, as well as Westchester County, NY.  We have also partnered with the inner city Parish of Saint Peter in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Our Parish Mission is threefold - to live the gift of our Catholic faith each and every day, always trying to enrich our understanding of that gift and to make every effort to practice our faith in compassionate service.

In November of 2015, we established a new model of Parish leasdership, "Leadership in Collaboration," with 4 new senior staff positions, two clergy and two lay, that function in an integrated way to support the Pastor and make up his leadership team.  Click here to read more. 

Come and join our Saint Mary Parish Family, or just stop by for Mass or a visit.  

Parish Office Hours: 10:00am-4:00pm, Monday - Friday

Last night we celebrated the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, giving  thanks for the two great gifts given by the Lord to his Church on the first Holy Thursday – the gift of the Eucharist and the gift of the Priesthood.  With Fr. Lourduraj, a priest of 30 years and Fr. Sean soon to celebrate his 10^th anniversary, I gave thanks for the past 46 years as a priest of Jesus Christ.

At the same I took the opportunity to announce that I will be retiring from my ministry as Pastor of Saint Mary Parish, effective July 31 of this year, after 16 years of service here in the rolling hills of Ridgefield and South Salem. 

As we prepare for this afternoon’s 3 PM Service, commemorating the Passion of our Lord, let’s continue to pray that God, Father, Son and Spirit will bless us all during this Holy Week and in the upcoming Easter Season with all of the graces we need to follow Him even more faithfully.
