Please read all information below. Thank you!
THE INFORMATION BELOW IS PHASE 1 OF REOPENING. PROCEDURES MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. ​ 

Notre Dame of Easton Church is pleased to be able to offer public worship again. We are taking precautions per the CDC and Connecticut state recommendations  regarding public gatherings. In addition we are taking further measures here to protect our staff and parishioners health and safety. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back to Notre Dame, but please understand there are risks involved in attending a public Mass in a pandemic despite all of the precautions taken by this church and the Diocese of Bridgeport.

​
Public Masses will begin to be offered at Notre Dame of Easton on Monday, June 22, 2020 in the Church Hall. 
Please note Masses will NOT be held in the upper church.

TAKING PRECAUTIONS 

•  Masses will be held in the Church Hall, practicing safe social distancing guidelines. Masks must be worn during Mass, but can be removed during the reception of Communion. You will be responsible for bringing your own mask. If you are feeling ill or have a temperature above 100.4, please stay home out of precaution for yourself and those attending Mass.
