CCD Educating our children in our Catholic faith is one of the most important programs in our parish. Our parish CCD programs involve children, teens and their families in interesting and fulfilling meetings that lead to the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation and a more active participation in our churches. Our teachers are developing plans to continue their classes in the fall. Information on Confirmation preparation will be finalized over the summer.

Knights of Columbus The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic Fraternal organization consisting of men who believe in the four core principles of our organization - Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. We are pleased to announce the winner of our 2020 annual college scholarship - Erin Bailey! She received a check for $1,000 to assist with her college expenses. Unfortunately this year's Parish Picnic has been cancelled. We also cancelled our Fall Wine Tasting event which is our only fundraiser during the year. We realize this is a difficult time for everyone but if you have the means, we are asking for donations so we can continue our charitable work. Our mailing address is P.O. Box 73, Roxbury CT 06783. Thank you for your generosity. The Knights meet every month in the parish hall. If you are interested in joining our organization or have any questions concerning the organization, please contact our Grand Knight Bob Falconer at 860-350-6681.

Liturgy Committee The OPPH Parish takes an active interest in the growth and renewal of its members by providing uplifting information. The Liturgy Committee does more than prepare and evaluate the liturgies for OLPH and St. Patrick. It functions as a sounding board for the parishioners and sets goals for the progress of the liturgical, sacramental and devotional life of the parish.

Music Music enriches all parts of our lives and is especially important in the life of the Church. Our choir, soloists and 80 year old, recently restored organ raise their voices to give glory to God. Traditional and contemporary Church music encourages our parishioners to join in the worship and celebration of Mass. COVID-19 restrictions place a severe limitation on singing in Church at this time.

Parish Council The Parish Council, as part of the Archdiocese of Hartford, is an advisory and practical assistance group for Father Joseph. Its purpose is to address the life and growth of the Body of Christ in both churches and includes offering spiritual information, planning and initiating programs and providing leadership for their implementation. The Parish Council meets four times a year.

Women's Guilds The Women's Guilds in Our Lady and St. Patrick provide support for social gatherings and raise funds for community and church needs. For more information, please contact Joan Streib at jstreib2008@charter.net
