St. Patrick’s Church in Roxbury will close at the end of the year as part of a merger announced by the Archdiocese of Hartford. The 139 year old church will join parishes in Washington and New Milford to form Saint Francis Xavier Parish on January 1. Daily Mass will end June 30 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Washington, with just one weekend Mass remaining. The changes come amid falling attendance and a shortage of priests.
