April 11:  We welcome the return of Fr. Noel Danielewicz, OFM Conv. who will speak about Blesseds Michal & Zbigniew
We welcome the return of Fr. Noel, a native of New Britain, the son of the late John and Jennie Danielewicz, a member of Holy Cross Church, a graduate of Holy Cross School and St. Thomas Aquinas High School. A Conventual Franciscan Friar, Fr. Noel is a member of the Province of Our Lady of the Angels and the Friary of St. Stanislaus in Chicopee, Massachusetts. He presently ministers as the Chaplain for the Felician Sisters and the Franciscan Friars in Enfield, CT and as spiritual assistant to the Secular Franciscans.

He is excited about the opportunity to share the life of two young Friar missionaries, martyrs, and recently named blesseds of the Church. Their story is a timely Easter witness to the Resurrection of the Lord, as they proclaimed the Gospel and gave their lives in building up the struggling Church Community of Pariacoto, Peru.
