In light of the recent increase in coronavirus cases within the state of Connecticut and continued uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of the coronavirus in the state and throughout the Archdiocese of Hartford, Archbishop Blair has now extended the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation for all the Faithful of the Archdiocese of Hartford through Tuesday, February 16, 2021, which is the eve of Ash Wednesday.

At St. John the Evangelist Church our Mass Schedule will be:

Saturday:  5:00 PM Vigil 

Sunday:  7:30 AM, 9:00 AM, 11:00 AM

There will be no 5:00 PM Sunday Mass, at this time. 

Those intentions will be included in another Mass.

Our 9:00 AM Mass will be available through “livestream” on Facebook.

Archbishop Blair has dispensed from the obligation of attending Sunday Mass every Catholic in the Archdiocese of Hartford through Saturday, November 28.  If you are in poor health, elderly, have a pre-existing condition, or are vulnerable to disease for any other reason, please do not plan to attend Mass in person at this time.
