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.

We hope that this website gives you helpful information about our parish. And we will be delighted to have you visit us, worship with us or join us.
