2 Dear Parishioners, A few weeks ago, Archbishop Blair issued a decree stating the beginning of more intense prayer on the part of all of us concerning the most recent scandals in the Church. Please read below the Archbishop s decree. DECREE In Nomine Domini. Amen. This decree concerns the establishment of Eucharistic Adoration as a norm for the Archdiocese of Hartford to be observed for at least one hour weekly in each parish, as well as the obligatory recitation of the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel. In order to implore from the Lord an increase of ordinations to the priesthood in the Archdiocese of Hartford and increase vocations to consecrated life, as well as prayer for a fruitful outcome to our 2020 Synod, and reparation for the sins and crimes of sexual abuse by clergy in the Church, I, the undersigned Archbishop of Hartford, DECREE the following: 1.At least one hour of public Eucharistic Adoration is to be observed according to the liturgical norms at every parish of the Archdiocese (not each church building, but each parish); 2. The Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel is to be prayed after every regularly scheduled Sunday and weekday Mass celebrated in the Archdiocese of Hartford (after the dismissal, before the recessional hymn). This decree becomes effective immediately upon publication. All things to the contrary notwithstanding.
