Hamden Catholic Homily: January 25, 2026

Today is January 25, 2026, the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrant was the Most Reverend Christopher J. Coyne, Archbishop of Hartford.From the first Mass in 1852 at a local home to the vibrant community of St. Paul VI Parish today, our history is written in the sacraments of the people of Hamden, Connecticut.In his homily, Archbishop Coyne reminds us that wherever you are in your journey, the call to holiness isn’t just for the “heroic” - it’s found in the simple, loving attention we give to God every day.We are a parish built on nearly 200 years of life, diversity, and faith. Whether your roots are at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, St. Rita, St. Stephen, or any of our founding churches, you are part of this beautiful story.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.
