We welcome you to the website of the Roman Catholic Faith Community of St. Patrick Collinsville in the Archdiocese of Hartford Connecticut. We serve the communities of Canton, Avon, Burlington, New Hartford and our sister parish of St. Thérèse de L'Enfant Jesus in Lilavois, Haiti.
We are a parish family dedicated to Christ. Ours is a community that is inclusive and vibrant with treasured long tradition and history of being a place where all are welcome.
We cherish our catholic heritage and celebrate the dynamism of our faith. Through our sacramental celebrations, liturgical worships, ministries, outreach programs, and commitments to serving those in need with humility and compassion, we seek to reflect the love of God. In responding to our common calling to follow Christ as his Disciples, we foster active participation of all in our community.
You are welcome to join us!
“The Church is a family of God’s people redeemed by Christ and sanctified by the Holy Spirit, and as a loving mother embraces all her children, we, as members of St. Patrick’s Catholic church family, embrace all who seek to journey with us in the call to become like Christ. The doors are open for you, join us, be nourished in the Sacraments, and be empowered by the message of Christ to live in faith, hope, and charity. God is calling you, and the Church needs you. The opportunity is now!” (Fr. Collins I. Anaeche, Ph.D.)

The Faith Formation Program is excited to sponsor “The Traveling Shrine of Saint Patrick” here at St. Patrick Church!
The traveling shrine includes everything needed to create an altar honoring Saint Patrick in your home. While hosting the shrine, families are encouraged to find time to pray together and learn more about the life and legacy of St. Patrick through supplemental resources included with the shrine.
To welcome the traveling shrine into your home for a week, please click on the link below. (Each host family will collect the shrine during one of the three weekend masses and return it to the church the following weekend).
If you have questions about the shrine please email our Faith Formation Coordinator, Jessica Sanzo, at ffd@spcolct.org.
