The renovation of St. Mary’s Church in Norwalk is completed. The first Mass to be celebrated in front of the new reredos of Our Lady’s Assumption into Heaven will be the 9:00 Mass this Saturday, a Missa Cantata in the Extraordinary Form.

Afterwards everyone is invited to a reception in the church hall, with an opportunity to greet the bishop.
