The Palms, which were ordered months ago, have arrived. So, on Palm Sunday, from 10 am to 2 pm, we are providing a safe way for you to get your Palms. Tables of Palms will be set curbside in the rear parking lot for you to take, just drive up (be mindful of others), roll down your driver side window and pick your palms. Several Knights will be present to direct traffic, if any. Cones will be in place designating lanes to be used. PLEASE! YOU MUST ENTER THRU RT 66 AND EXIT FROM FREESTONE AVE. As you get your Palms please be mindful of what Jesus endured during these past few weeks.

As a precautionary measure, the Faith Formation Office has been made to cancel all faith formation classes, activities and events due to the corona virus epidemic. This will remain in effect until further notification. At this time, we ask for your prayers and compassion for those who have contracted the virus and for each other as we all try to navigate this situation. Please email the Faith Office with any questions.

Please check with the coordinator of your activities to get the most up-to-date information regarding group activities. Our parish and the Diocese of Norwich are taking special precautions to protect the health and safety of all of us.

All submissions for the parish bulletin must be emailed to BulletinStMaryPortland@gmail.com with the subject line "Bulletin Materials (Date of View)" by 12:00pm Friday a full week in advance of the posting date. Thank you for your anticipated co-operation and continued support as we welcome "The Bulletin Guy"

Despite his busy schedule and preparations for the race, Joey wanted to take the time to personally thank all of us, especially the youth group, for supporting his fund.
