Embrace: A communal worship space for the Catholic Church in which families could come together to adore our Lord in the Holy Eucharist. The final battle for our world will be fought on the battleground of the family. With divorce rates exceeding 60%, marriages and therefore families have a far greater chance in our cultural climate of thriving and growing in holiness when spending intentional time together in the Eucharistic presence of Jesus Christ. The Archdiocese of Hartford has made tremendous strides towards revitalizing the vocation to the priesthood of Jesus Christ. Embrace is our offering to increase devotion to the healing of the family and the vocation to marriage at large.
In June, 2024, this idea was brought to life at our first ever Embrace, hosted at St. Michael the Archangel Church in Waterbury, CT. Starting with only 8 attendees, Embrace drew a crowd of 140 people in just 6 months.
Our next Embrace at 62 St Michael’s Dr, Waterbury, CT 06704 is scheduled for Wednesday, May 7th at 6:30pm. We will be taking a break for a few months, and the following Embrace will be on Tuesday, September 9th at 6pm. 6pm will be the new regular time from that date onward.
We occasionally need help with finding specific items for decoration, and with fellowship afterwards. Please fill out the form below if you would like to help out.
All cancellations or changes due to weather, illness, or otherwise will be listed on this webpage. Please check here the day of each Embrace for updates!
