This week, Father Ian Jeremiah began his new ministry as the
Episcopal Vicar for Clergy and Religious ministering in the
Diocese of Bridgeport. This means that he represents the Bishop in all matters pertaining to Priests, Deacons and the men and
women of Religious Orders who work in the Diocese. This
appointment by our new Bishop reflects the confidence which
he has in Father Ian and the respect of his brother priests that
he enjoys as well.
How fortunate St. Aloysius parish has been to have had him as
our Parochial Vicar the last six years. Not only the laity of
St. Aloysius, but also the Clergy have enjoyed his presence
and benefited from his good and generous spirit. We will all
miss him.

The Holy Spirit is very much present in the life and ministry of
priests. We must be open to the “wind” wherever it leads us,
even if that movement is unexpected and challenging. Father
Ian is a man of prayer who has said yes to God and to the
request of his Bishop to undertake this new ministry. I
encourage all of us to remember him in prayer each day.
Continue to welcome him to your special celebrations. Priests
always enjoy the friendships made in the course of their
ministry.
May God be with Father Ian and continue to use his many
talents to contribute to the well being of His Church, the People
of God.

In preparation for the Synod, Bishop Caggiano is
ready to hold the next Youth Listening Session on

St. Aloysius, please sign up at signupgenius.com. You

We would like all new and returning families to consider having one
of the parents be a catechist. Currently, we have fathers, mothers,
grandmothers and high school teens all helping as catechists in our
program. Classes are taught Sundays through Thursdays. Our
program uses a team teaching approach, so no one will be alone
and we pair new catechists with more experienced catechists. Our
program would not be able to exist without a large, strong group of
catechists. Currently, we need catechists for grades 1 –7. If you
are interested or would like more info, please contact Marie
Pascale at 203-652-1170 /marieccd@starcc.com.
