Nov. 9: Everything You Need to Know About Father Mark’s Retirement Celebration

On Sun., Nov. 9, we celebrate Father Mark and wish him well as he heads into retirement on Jan. 3, 2026. Several events are happening on this day. Here’s what you need to know:

  • The retirement Mass is at 11:15 a.m. It is being live-streamed as well. Nearly 800 people are set to attend, and the church will be at full capacity. We recommend that you and your entire party arrive early. Please do not plan to save seats for those arriving later.
  • Overflow capacity for the Mass will be available in both the St. Paul Library (basement) and the Parish Center. The live stream will be available for viewing in each of these locations.
  • Parish volunteers and the Glastonbury Police Department will assist with traffic flow and parking. 
  • A post-Mass reception will be held immediately following the 11:15 a.m. Mass. This is for anyone unable to attend the afternoon event in Bolton. 
  • The afternoon reception in Bolton is at full capacity. Please remember this is an open-house-style reception, and attendees are encouraged to come throughout the afternoon. 
  • If you RSVP’d for any of these events and can no longer attend, please email us
