Update to Non – Obligatory Sunday Mass
It is with great joy that Bishop Frank J. Caggiano would like to announce that our parishes
will be able to resume public worship inside our church buildings. In those parishes that are ready to follow our established norms, the celebration of weekday Masses, Funeral Masses
and Nuptial Weddings within our Churches may also resume.
The weekend Mass schedule is as follows:
- Saturday Vigil @ 4:30pm
- Sunday @ 8am 10am & 12pm
Please let us know if you will be attending Mass by calling our Parish Office (203) 797-0222 or emailing us at
sgbulletin@aol.com. This should be done on a weekly basis beginning every Monday.
By signing up to attend the parish service, you recognize the obligation to (i) wear a mask or face covering when required; (ii) adhere to all required direction regarding social distance spacing when participating in the service and (iii) not attend service if you are sick, experiencing any symptoms consistent with the coronavirus, or are otherwise required to be quarantined.

Adoration Every Friday after Mass!
Something that is very important to both Fr. Ford and I, is Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. We both are deeply devoted to Jesus in the Eucharist. Prayer, especially in front of the real presence of Our Lord, is what supports and blesses the work we do at St. Gregory. Without regular and devout prayer in the presence of Our Lord, a Parish will truly suffer. Therefore, we will offer Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament for one hour (from immediately after the 8 AM Mass to 9:30 AM). Going forward this will continue every Friday. I encourage you to help bring blessings to both our Parish and your personal life by joining us for this Holy Hour.
Thank you ahead of time for your interest and prayers!
Pastor’s Wish List
Thank you so much for your past generosity and support in regard to my “Pastor’s Wish List! During this time of sheltering and the live-streaming of Masses only, we have taken advantage of our empty church to make many improvements. The entire interior of the church has been repainted. Also, through your continued generosity we received donations for beautiful paintings of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary over our candle racks, a new podium for our cantors, and a mural of the Last Supper on the front of our altar. Recently we just secured a donor for the refurbishing of our pews, which should be completed before we return for indoor masses. The final interior project which needs attention is the refurbishing of our kneelers. The cost of this is $7,500. If you are able and would like to make a partial or full donation towards this project, please email (frdunn@diobpt.org) or call me at (203) 797-0222. I greatly appreciate your help and support. I look forward to returning to our now beautiful church in the near future!
Thank you and God Bless You!
