Such was the theme of the celebration of seventy-five years of church history at Saint John of the Cross Church during a year long celebration in 1989. Numerous fund-raising events were held throughout the year, which helped to pay for extensice renovations of our church. Under the guidance of our pastor, Reverand John D. Regan, and under the outstanding chairmanship of Mrs. Paul (Heidi) Shea and Patrick Dillon, the many activities culminated in a Diamond Jubilee Mass of Thanksgiving celebrated by His Excellency, the Most Reverand John Francis Whealon, D.D., Archbishop of Hartford, on November 12, 1989.
